Speaker (warming up to his subject) : 
What we want is men with convictions, 
and where shall we find them? Voice: 
In jail, guv’nor!”—Penny Illustrated 
Paper. 
“Waiter!” called a diner at a local 
club, “come here at once! Here’s a 
hook-and-eye in this salad!” Yessah, 
yessah,” sa*d the waiter, grinning 
broadly. “Dat’s a paht of de dressing, 
seh !”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
I was visiting a California turkey 
farm last month when a boy applied 
for a job. “Your references are good. 
I’ll try you,” said the farmer. “Is there 
any chance to rise, sir?” the boy asked. 
“Yes,” said the farmer. “A grand 
chance. \ ou 11 rise at four o’clock every 
morning.”—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. 
The new cook, who had come into the 
household during the holidays, asked her 
mistress: “Where ban your son? I not 
seeing him round no more.” “My son!” 
replied the mistress pridefully. “Oh, lie 
has gone back to Yale. He could only 
get away long enough to stay until New 
Year’s Day, you see. I miss him dread- 
hilly, though.” “Yas. I knowing yoost 
how you feel. My broder, he ban in 
yail sax times since T’ankgiving ”_

I Do You Intend To 
FAbandon Your Farm? 
In New England there are hundreds of abandoned farms—abandoned 
because the soil has been drained of its fertility. Had these farms been 
properly fertilized they would still be producing bounteous harvests. 
New England farms are not the only ones that are being depleted of 
fertility. There are thousands of other farms which are rapidly approaching 
the point where further cultivation will be unprofitable unless some means is 
adopted to renew the fertility of the soil. 
If you do not intend to abandon your farm, it will be necessary to sup 
ply fertilizer to the soil. It is not only necessary to apply manure, but it is 
absolutely essential that it be applied evenly and in proper quantities. 
Manure cannot be spread evenly by hand. Experience has demon¬ 
strated that the spreader is the only method by which manure can be 
applied uniformly. 
It is just as necessary to exercise judgment in 
selecting a spreader as it is on any other subject. 
There are many spreaders on the market. The I H C 
spreader has proved its superiority by giving the users 
years of efficient service. With an I H C spreader you 
can regulate the distrioution of manure so as to make 
every ounce count. Adjustments can be made to 
spread a light top-dressing or a Heavy covering. This 
is possible because I H C spreaders have a wide range 
of feed, and the long, square, chisel-pointed beater 
teeth thoroughly pulverize the manure that is applied. 
Wide tires and roller bearings insure light draft, 
I H C spreaders are made in three styles— 
Cloverleaf—Corn King 
Kemp 20th Century 
Cloverleaf spreaders have endless aprons. Corn 
King and Kemp 20th Century machines have return 
aprons. These machines are made 
with capacity suitable for farms of 
any size. 
Call on the I H C local dealer 
and let him show you the style and 
size best suited to your purpose. 
If you prefer, write direct for cata¬ 
logue and full particulars.
