HUMOROUS 
The poach crop is frosted and ruined, 1 see. 
It's dead as a mackerel ever could he— 
Ah, well, it’s no more than we ought to 
expect; 
The world as a whole is teetotally wrecked; 
The weather's gone wrong, and the market 
is bad. 
And I can’t hear a song that is other than 
sad, 
And misfortune comes on without whis¬ 
per of warning— 
And the coffee was cold at my breakfast 
this morning. —Chicago Post. 
“O George, can’t you just smell the 
salt water?” “More than that, Maria; I 
can taste it in the ice cream.”—Chicago 
Tribune. 
“After all, it pays to be honest.” “Yes, 
only”— “Only what?” “You can’t al¬ 
ways be certain whom it pays.”—Nash¬ 
ville American. 
Artist : “When you fish for a big 
haul, what bait do you use?” Railroad 
Magnate (absently) : “Rebate.”—Balti¬ 
more American. 
“You look pale and thin. What’s 
got you?” “Work! From morning till 
night, and only a one-hour rest.’ “How 
long have you been at it?” “I begin 
to-morrow.”—Ulk. 
Young Fitznoodle (with a yawn) : 
“Ya-as, weally, it costs me five thousand 
a year just to live, don’t y’ know.” 
Farmer Hardpan: “Don’t ye pay it! 
’Tain’t wuth it.”—Judge. 
“Didn’t I see the grocer’s boy kiss 
you this morning, Martha?” “Yes’m. 
But he ain’t to blame, ma’am. ’Twas 
the iceman set him the bad example.” 
—Cleveland Plain-Dealer. 
Farmer Honk (musingly) : “They 
say Deacon Klutchpenny’s wife was a 
paragon before he married her, and—” 
Mrs. Honk (briskly) : “Nothing of the 
kind! She was a Smith! I knew the 
whole family.”—Puck. 
“We business women,” declared she, 
“demand a voice in the management of 
this country’s affairs.” “I wish you 
luck,” responded he. “But that’s more 
than we business men have ever been 
able to get.”—Washington Herald. 
“You can’t fool all of the people all 
of the time,” begain the man who 
quotes. “And you don’t need ter,” broke 
in the philosopher with chin whiskers. 
“Most of the people will fool them¬ 
selves.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. 
Litti.e Willie: “I had a fight with 
Tommy Jones, but he hit me first.” 
Willie’s Mamma: “But the Bihle says 
if our enemy smite us on one cheek we 
should turn the other.” Willie: “Yes, 
I know; but he swatted me on the nose.” 
—Philadelphia Record. 
“So,’ remarked the boyhood friend, 
“you are in the swim.’ “Mother and the 
girls think I am,” answered Mr. Cum- 
rox. “But my personal feelings iare 
those of a man who has fallen over¬ 
board and ought to be hollering for 
help.”—Washington Star.

R. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and

MANURE SPREADER 
r 
F you do not have to bor¬ 
row, so much the better. 
But in any event have a 
spreader of your own this 
year. The increase in the first crop 
through the use of your spreader will 
more than pay the principal and inter¬ 
est. It will cut down the labor of ma¬ 
nure spreading. It will make the work 
agreeable. There will be no waste of 
manure. You will have a more fertile 
soil for future crops.

be con¬ 
sidered 
as a per- 
m a n e nt 
invest- 
ment.not 
as a run¬ 
ning ex- 
p e n s e. 
For the only way you can get all the value 
out of the farm manure every year is to 
use a spreader. There is absolutely no 
comparison between results produced by 
hand spreading and machine spreading.

You will make no mistake in 
buying any one of these right 
working, durable I. H. C. spreaders. 
I. H. C. spreaders are not built ex¬ 
cessively heavy, but they have all the 
strength required by such machines. 
The draft is as light as possible in any 
spreader. 
The machines differ in certain fea¬ 
tures, but all have good strong broad 
tired wheels, simple and strong driving 
parts,are 
LYco'n-

nure. 
Any 
H. C. local agent will supply cata- 
and explain the distinguishing 
features of each machine, or show you 
a machine at work so that you can 
choose wisely.
