“What are you going to raise in your 
flower garden?” “The neighbor’s chick¬ 
ens, I suppose,” replied Mr. Growcher.— 
Washington Star. 
“Here, what did you hit that man 
for?” “He called me a hypochondriac, 
and I don’t want no one to call me ani¬ 
mal names.”—Judge. 
The Caller:— “I hear that you’ve 
been to a party, Mabel. Did you dance 
much?” Mabel (aged eight) :—“I 
should say I did. I danced two quad¬ 
rillions.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer. 
Customer (after a morning’s shop¬ 
ping) :—“Have you any eels?” Fish¬ 
monger:—“Yes, madam. What quantity 
would you require?” Customer:—“Well 
there’ll be six of us. . . . D’you think 
a yard and a half would be sufficient?” 
—Punch. 
“What's the hardest thing you en¬ 
counter in flying?” queries she. “At the 
present stage of the game,” returned 
the aviator, tenderly rubbing a bump, 
“the hardest thing we encounter is the 
earth.”—Puck. 
Aunt Sophie: “And is Tommy a 
good little boy at school?” Tommy:— 
“Yes, auntie.” Aunt Sophie: “And why 
is Tommy a good little boy?” Tommy: 
—“ ’Cause it’s better fun to see the other 
boys get a tannin’ than to get one your¬ 
self.”—Tit-Bits. 
“What is naturalization?” asked the 
high school teacher. “Naturalization,” 
said the captain of the baseball team, 
slowly, “why, naturalization is making a 
person who was born somewhere else a 
native of the country he’s living in.”— 
Youth’s Companion. 
Little Willie: “Say, pa, according to 
this table of English weight and measure 
fourteen pounds make one stone.” Pa:— 
“Yes, that’s right, my son.” Little Wil¬ 
lie :—“But, pa, what I want to know is 
how many pebbles it takes to make a 
pound?”—Chicago News. 
Tompkins :—“Ventley has received a 
million dollars for his patent egg dating 
machine. You know it is absolutely in¬ 
terference proof, and dates correctly and 
indelibly as the egg is being laid.’” Dew- 
ley :—“It the machine on the market 
yet?” Tompkins:—“Oh, my, no! and it 
won’t be on the market. The patent was 
bought up by the Cold Storage Trust.”—

I H C Manure Spreaders 
in this 
ment. 
E veryone knows that if soil 
is not fertilized it will soon 
wear out. The barren con¬ 
dition of thousands of farms 
country proves this state- 
A large percentage of this 
number could be improved if ma¬ 
nure were spread judiciously. 
Field experiments prove that 
eight tons of manure evenly spread 
are as good as twice that number 
spread in a haphazard way. Hand spreading requires at least twenty loads 
to cover an acre. With a manure spreader, eight loads will cover the same 
amount of ground more evenly, but— 
Your problem of soil fertility is only half solved when you decide to get a 
manure spreader. The other half—of equal importance—is in deciding just 
which spreader is best for you to buy. 
If you investigate thoroughly and decide carefully, you will select a 
spreader that thousands of other progressive farmers are having great 
success with—one of the 
The simple design and unusual strength of all working parts of I H C 
Spreaders account for their long life and light draft. 
The method of transmitting power from the wheels to the beater is 
simple and direct. There are no unnecessary parts to wear. The beater is 
large in diameter and the teeth are long, square, and chisel pointed. By 
using this style of tooth, the manure is thoroughly pulverized and is 
thrown out before it wedges against the bars. By using 
a square tooth, rimming of the bars is overcome. 
The apron is supported by steel rollers and the slats 
are placed close together, so that manure does not sift 
down and interfere with the movement of the rollers. 
The steel wheels have ample strength to carry many 
times the weight they will ever be called upon to bear. 
The rims are flanged inwardly to prevent cutting and 
rutting of meadows and accumulation of trash. 
Z-shaped lugs give the wheel a practically continuous 
ground-bearing surface and do not jar the machine to 
pieces. There is no reach to prevent 
short turning. 
In the I H C line, you have choice of 
these three famous styles—•

quires, and all three are made in sizes suitable to any size
