“We have had no winter freezes, 
and, to use a common expression, the 
soil, from continued and heavy rains, 
had 4 run together,’ with surface hard

MANURE SPREADER, 
Pulverizer and Cart Combined. 
The greatest inven¬ 
tion since the intro-^j^ 
Auction of the Rca-j 
per and Mower. 
i First introluced in 1878, and over 2.000 now in use by the bcstfarmAS 
er3 in every State, and everywht re telling i‘s own story of the economy.'? 
of labor and the better use of manure. IIandle3 all kind of manure—^ 
found on the farm, from the coarsest to the finest. Including lime, ashes.*"'^"* 
muck, marl, Ac., in any condition, wet or dry : p’a‘ins; any amount dc'-i -ed pfr acTe. from twenty bushels upwards, broadcast or in drills, in one-tenth the timo 
i t can bo dono by hand. Covers every flquareinc'i of ground with finely pulverized manure, insuring rapid tn’owth and large uniform crops; every particlo of 
manure i3 at once utilized for plant food. Its quality of work cannot be approached by hand labor at ten times the cost. 
Many farmers write: “It saves its cost every year.” Another writes, when ordering some slight repairs: “Wo have just finished cutting over 200 tons 
actual weight of hay, 50 tons of which wc give the Spreader credit for. in consequence of evenly spreading the manuro used in top dressing.” 
The fields where the Spreader i3 used can be distinguished from others by the quality of crops. Farmers having become familiar with the Spreader claim they 
would sooner part with their mower or reaper than with the Spreader, so indispensiblo has it become. It is a staunch and reliable implement, and can be readily 
used a3 a common cart. For Illustrated Catalogue, giving full particulars, send to KEMP JIURPEE MFG. CO., Syracuse, N. Y.
