The Best Way To ConserveThe 
Natural Re sources 0f \our Faun 
Y OUR land is your biggest asset. On its power to grow good 
crops depends your very livelihood. What are you doing to 
insurers continued fertility—your future prosperity? 
There is a great national movement on foot now for “The 
Conservation of Our Natural Resources.” Don’t think this ap¬ 
plies only to our forests and coal mines. The soil, too, has been 
drained of its natural wealth by season after season of bumper 
crops, b or your own good, join the soil conservation 
movement now. Begin on your own farm. There is a 
practical, economical, profitable way. Invest in an 
I H C Manure Spreader 
as hundreds of other farmers have done. By distribu¬ 
ting your manure with one of these efficient machines 
you can keep your land always in top-notch condition. 
^Barnyard manure is rich in the elements that enrich the 
soil, and an I II C Manure Spreader enables you to 
distribute it in the way to use all of it to the best 
advantage. I H C Spreaders are so designed that 
the manure can be spread in just the right amount 
'required by the condition of the soil—a heavy coat 
where it is most needed—a light 
'top dressing where that is best. 
They are simple and strong in 
every part. Their dependability has 
been proved by years of service. 
IHC Spreaders are made in three styles: 
Kemp 20th Century 
Corn King Cloverleaf 
in sizes suitable for any size farm. 
Call on the IHC local dealer and see the one 
best adapted to your needs. Ask him about the 
bigger profits I II C Spreaders are bringing to 
users. If you prefer, write direct for IHC Spreader

Cow comfort and cow sanitation result in more 
cow profits, and that alone should induce any 
farmer or dairyman to seek these conditions. < 
Louden Sanitary Steel Stalls anti Stanch¬ 
ions double the light and air in a ham and Insure 
perfect ventilation, perfect sanitation—a result 
impossible with any wooden equipment. Yet 
LOUDEN STALLS AND STANCHIONS 
are actually cheaper. Louden stalls of heavy 
tubular steel, with malleable fittings, have no 
flat surfaces for dust to accumulate—easy to keep 
clean and almost indestructible. 
Louden stanchions give cows more comfort 
than other makes, yet keep them perfectly lined 
up. Throat chains prevent cows from lying 
down when milking. Simple and very durable. 
Latch easily opened or closed with gloved hand, 
but can’v be opened by animal. Send today

The flame of a powerful blow-torch— 
which is intense enough to even melt iron— 
will not burn J-M Asbestos Ready Roofing 
when held on one spot for nearly an hour. 
Nor will it set fire to boards underneath. This 
has been proven by impartial tests made by 
Fire Chiefs and City Council representatives 
of many large cities. 
J-M Asbestos Roofing is absolutely fire-proof because its base con¬ 
sists of several layers of pure Asbestos Felt. And Asbestos, you 
know, is the fire-proof, practically indestructible, mineral used in gas 
grates, stove mats, theatre curtains, etc. 
These layers of Asbestos (stone) Felt are firmly cemented together 
with genuine Trinidad Lake Asphalt—that wonderful mineral cement 
which, in asphalt pavements, stands the grinding of wheels and pounding of 
hoofs for thirty to forty years. 
Thus, J-M Asbestos Roofing is composed of all minerals. Not a particle 
of perishable material in 
J-

ROOFING 
Because of this mineral or stone 
construction, J-M Asbestos Roofing 
is also rust-proof, rot-proof and acid- 
proot And, like all stone, it never 
needs painting or coating. 
No other ready roofing gives a 
building such absolute fire protec¬ 
tion. None other lasts so long with 
so little attention. J-M Roofing is 
still in good condition on many 
buildings after nearly a quarter of a 
century of service. 
Our nearest Branch will supply you 
with J-M Asbestos Roofing if not ob¬ 
tainable at your dealer’s—also apply 
it, if desired. 
SEND FOR THIS ODD STONE 
We want to send you a free sample, Justas 
it comes from our mines, of the curious 
Asbestos Rock of which this roofing is made. 
We want you to see for yourself that its long! 
silky, pliable fibres will not bum when held 
in fire. 
Write our nearest Branch now, and we’ll 
also send our handsomely illustrated Book
