The Examiner: “But if, as you say, 
all the rivers run into the sea, why 
doesn’t it overflow?” Johnnie (taken 
aback: “Why—er—’cos it’s so full of 
sponges.”—The Sketch. 
“Do you want a narrow man’s comb?” 
asked the clerk. “No,” said the cus¬ 
tomer, gravely. “I want a comb for a 
stout man with rubber teeth.”—Balti¬ 
more American. 
The through train from the West had 
stopped at the little station where the 
overland flyer from the East was to pass 
it. “What is the population of your 
village.''” asked one of the passengers. 
“I don’t know, sir,” said the station 
agent; “but if your train doesn’t leave 
within the next five minutes you’ll have 
time to count ’em for yourself. They’re 
all here at the deepo.”—Chicago Tri¬ 
bune. 
As a train was approaching a station, 
it parted in the middle, and the com¬ 
munication cord snapped, the end of it 
striking an old lady on her bonnet. 
What is the matter?” she exclaimed. 
“The train is broken in two,” replied a 
gentleman opposite. “And no wonder!” 
responded the old lady, looking at the 
broken cord. “Did they think a bit of 
pudding-string like that would hold a 
train together?”—Credit Lost.

AN IHC MANURE SPREADER MEANS 
NEW LAND ON THE OLD FARM 
[HOUSANDS of people during the past year paid fabulous 
prices for new land—gave up their savings and their homes 
and moved into unknown country just for the sake of securing 
more productive property. 
Hundreds of farmers found a better plan. They stayed at 
home and invested a small part of what it would have cost them 
to move to the new country in an I H C Manure Spreader. 
.Now in leisure time during the winter they are returning to 
the soil the rich fertility that has been drained from it—making 
new land out of old putting it into condition to yield bumper crops. 
With an I H C Spreader the manure can be distributed in the 
proper amount required by the condition of the soil. A light 
coat, where land is good, a heavy coat where it is most needed. 
IHC Manure Spreaders have many exclusive features which 
you ought to know about. Years of successful service has shown 
their superiority. In buying an I H C machine 
you are assured satisfaction for they are backed 
by a company that cannot afford to risk its repu¬ 
tation by offering you anything but the best. 
IHC Spreaders are made in three styles 
Corn King—Kemp 20th Century— 
Cloverleaf 
in sizes ranging from 30 to 70 bushels capacity. 
Corn King and Kemp 20th Century Spread¬ 
ers are of the return apron type—Cloverleaf 
Spreaders have endless aprons. Lime hoods 
for spreading lime and drilling attachments 
for distributing manure in rows are furnished 
on special order. 
Let the IHC local dealer tell you all about 
IHC Spreaders and how you, too, can turn your 
manure pile into money with one of 
these simple, efficient machines. 
Catalogues can be secured from 
him, or, by writing for them.
