When Tommy saw the mooley. 
All spotted white and red, 
ih' hurried to his mother 
And with big-eyed wonder said : 
“An atlas she has eaten. 
For don’t you see, Peru, 
Bolivia and China 
Her hide are working through? 
And there’s the Indian Ocean 
That rolls as fine as silk— 
I’ll bet it helps the farmer 
When he goes out to milk.’’

“Yf.s, President Roosevelt and I were 
hoys together.” “You don’t really mean 
it!” “Sure! We must have been; we’re 
about the same age.”—Boston Tran¬ 
script. 
Teacher: “What is it, Tom?” Tom: 
“Jimmy’s swearing!” Teacher: “What 
did he say?” Tom: “Well, inarm, if 
you say over all the cuss words you 
know, I’ll tell you when you come to it.”

“Alexander the Great conquered the 
entire world.” “Yes,” answered Mr. 
Dustin Stax. “He conquered it; but 
some of us moderns could have shown 
him a thing or two about making it pay 
dividends.”—Washington Star. 
The New Chauffeur: “Do you think 
I’ll ever be able to learn to run one of 
these motor cars?” The old chauffeur: 
“Certain! You’ve only been at it two 
days, and you’ve nearly run over seven 
persons already.”—Illustrated Bits. 
Photographer: “You are all right 
now, except your expression. Please 
look pleasant.” Jay Green: “Hang it 
man, I can’t! I’m bow-legged, an’ I’m 
trying to hold my knees together so’s 
it won’t show. When I smile I forgit 
all about my knees, an’ when I pay 
attention to my knees I forgit to smile,” 
—Tit-Bits. 
Mandy was a young colored girl, 
fresh from the cotton fields of the South. 
One afternoon she came to her northern 
mistress and handed her a visiting card. 
“De lady wha’ gib me dis is in de par¬ 
lor,” she explained. “Dey’s annoder 
lady on de do’steps.” “Gracious, Man¬ 
dy,” exclaimed the mistress, “Why didn’t 
you ask both of them to come in?” 
“Kase, ma’am,” grinned the girl, “de one 
on de do’step done forgit her ticket.”— 
Cleveland Leader. 
“Mother’s compliments,” said a 
youngster to a butcher who kept a shop 
in a busy suburban thoroughfare, “and 
she’s sent me to show you the big 
bone brought with the piece of beef this 
morning.” “Tell your mother next 
times I kills a bullock without bones in 
it I’ll make her a present of a joint,” 
said the man of meat, with a grin. 
“Mother’s compliments,” continued the 
boy, “and she says next time you find 
a bit of sirloin with a shoulder of mut¬ 
ton bone in it she’d like to buy the 
whole carcass as a curiosity!”—Mel¬ 
bourne Australasian.

Thousands of Successful Farmers Are Doing It 
There Is no charm or secret about it. 
You simply spread it with a machine, and 
thus make it go twice as far, get twice as 
much good from it on the first crop, do 
your land more permanent good, and save 
half the time and labor of handling. 
Manure is generally estimated to be 
worth $ 2.00 a ton handled the old way. 
There is no doubt that it is worth twice as 
much to the farmer who spreads with a 
machine,. 
Three of the most practical and valuable 
machines manufactured for farm use to¬ 
day are the Corn King, Cloverleaf, and 
Kemp 20th Century manure spreaders. 
They are each made in a number of sizes. 
These machines differ somewhat in 
construction and operation, but all three 
are light working and of great durability. 
They are proven machines. They em¬ 
body the best mechanical ideas, the ma¬ 
terials used in construction are the best 
for the purpose, they are made as simple 
as possible, and they handle manure in all 
conditions to the perfect satisfaction of 
users. Proof of all this is to be found in 
the record each machine has made in the 
field. 
Is it not to your interest to own and use 
one of these spreaders on your farm? 
Figure out for yourself and you must 
agree that it will be a paying investment, 
even if you do not have over twenty-five 
loads of manure to spread in a year. 
You can’t help but be pleased with the 
work, the easy handling, the light draft 
and the substantial making which saves 
you the annoyance of breakage and 
repairs. 
Call and see these spreaders with the 
local International agent. He will gladly 
point out to you the superior features of 
these machines, as well as supply you 
with catalogue, colored hanger or other 
information.
