MANY A GOOD FARM 
HORSE IS RUINED 
By standing in a wet,sticky 
coat of hair. Experience 
proves that the coughs, 
colds and other troubles 
that affect horses in the 
spring, can be avoided 
by clipping off the winter 
coat before the spring work 
begins. Clipping improves 
the appearance of horses, 
they bring more if offered 
for sale, they do better 
work too, because they dry 
out quick, rest well and get 
more good from their feed. 
The easiest, quickest way 
to clip is with a 
STEWART 
BallBearlngMachino 
It clips horses,mulesand 
cows without any 
change whatever. 
About the udders and 
flanks of all cows should 
be clipped every three or 
four weeks so the parts 
can be kept clean when 
milking.

Put Your Manure on Right 
and Get Bigger Returns 
Use the same amount of manure as last year, 
but get the full value of every pound. There’s 
only one machine which can do this—a 
WALTER A, WOOD 
Fearless Manure Spreader 
That’s because it is the only one with a Circular Beater. This 
Circular Beater tears up tough manure, corn stalks, etc., into a fine 
condition and throws them way out beyond the wheels—spreads an 
8-foot strip from a 4-foot bed and as thick on the edges as in the 
center. Every square foot gets an equal amount and the manure is 
in the best condition to be acted on by the elements. 
The Fearless covers two acres while another spreader is doing one. 
The Fearless cuts the time of spreading in half and gives an even stand. 
The Fearless has light draft, low body, long life, and tracks with 
an ordinary farm wagon. We guarantee it unconditionally. 
SEND FOR OUR SPECIAL CATALOG 
and let us show you why The Fearless will enable you to get more 
from your manure than 
ever before. Mail the 
coupon at once.
