What’s the use of buyingr common wood 
shingles now that you can get the original 
and genuine Edwards STEEL Shingles for 
LESS MONEY? Don’t wood shingles catch 
fire, don’t they rot, don’t they cost a lot of 
time and money to put on ? 
Nobody ever heard of an Edwards Steel 
Shingle roof burning up or rotting. And it 
doesn’t take long to put them on. For these 
steel shingles come in great big clusters 
of 100 or more. 
Edwards STEEL Shingles 
Each Edwards Steel Shingle not only has 
thoroughly galvanized sides, but each EDGE 
is dipped in MOLTEN ZINC. No chance of 
rust. All joints are permanently water-tight 
as a result of our patented Interlocking De¬ 
vice, which takes care of expansion and 
contraction. 
We sell direct from factory 
rnivtS and pay the freight. Our cost 
of doing business is divided among thousands 
of sales. Hence our ability to underprice 
wood shingles. You have been intending to 
got our prices for some time. Do it this time.

Live Stock and Dairy I 
Dual Purpose Short-horn Cattle. 
You ask why I like the Short-horns. I 
presume the primary reason is because 
I was brought up with them, my father 
being one of the first to use Short-horn 
bulls in this county. He bred up a herd 
of grade cows that made good in the 
dairy, and the steers bred from them 
made good in the feed lot, and as we car¬ 
ried on a general line of farming, being 
producers of wool and mutton, dairy 
products, beef and pork, they fitted into 
the combination better than any other 
breed. After I took the management of 
the farm we put on a few purebred Short- 
born cows of the dual-purpose type, and 
have kept a small herd ever since, and 
although I have never had a record 
breaker, my cows have almost invariably 
returned a good profit in the dairy. Sev¬ 
eral years ago I was called upon to fur¬ 
nish a paper for one of the local farmers’ 
institutes, and I read one setting foi’th 
the merits of the dual-purpose cow, in 
which I made the assertion that the 
dual-purpose Short-horn cow was no 
longer a creature of the imagination, as 
was claimed by some, but was here in 
the flesh and had come to stay. A part 
of the institute force were strong advo¬ 
cates of the special dairy breeds, and 
they roasted me at every opportunity. 
But I have lived to see my prophecy 
abundantly fulfilled, as there is a con¬ 
stantly growing demand for them, and 
one cow of the breed Rose Glenside has 
made a record of IS,075 pounds of milk, 
735 pounds of butter, in one year. Ruth 
3d produced in 12 months 15,509 pounds 
of milk and 831 pounds butter. There 
are four cows with records of better than 
15,000 pounds of milk in one year, and 
upward of 50 with records of 10,000 
pounds or better, and a vast number that 
follow close to these. They are all of a 
type that will feed up to a profitable car¬ 
cass of beef when their usefulness in the 
dairy is past. I have just sold two head 
of dual-purpose Short-horns to a pro¬ 
gressive dairy farmer who is furnishing 
customers in a nearby city with milk and 
cream, and he says the dairy Short-horn 
is the best all-around cow he can get for 
his particular line of dairying. They 
can be kept in good condition on less feed 
than some of the dairy breeds, and the 
calves, whether sold as veals or raised 
for beef, command a better price than 
the dairy-bred calves. A. H. prince.

“ Dutch Jersey” Cow. 
Are there two kinds of Jersey cattle? 
I have a calf called Dutch Jersey. She 
is fawn with white belt across her back. 
I bought this calf and never saw one 
marked like her before. c. c. M. 
Burlington, W. Va. 
The secretary of the American Jersey 
Cattle Club answers this as follows: 
There is no individual Jersey registered 
with this name, nor any family of our 
breed which’ is denominated “Dutch.” It 
would appear that the animal in ques¬ 
tion is some kind of mongrel—probably 
a cross between the Jersey und the Dutch 
Belted breeds. 
“Bull Clubs.” —There are localities 
where a number of breeders live close 
enough together so that it is convenient 
for them all to use one bull. In another 
locality it is the same way. The breed¬ 
ers of each locality purchase a bull and 
use him about two years, when they 
change and breed one to the other’s 
daughters. As a rule, they aim to buy 
a tried bull, so that they know just 
about what to expect in the way of im¬ 
provement. By so doing they can buy a 
much better bull than any one of their 
number could afford. L. D. connell. 
Kansas Silo Train. —Kansas has 
been running a “silage special” over the 
railroads of that State. The speaker told 
how to build silos, what to put into them 
and what the silo is expected to do. At 
many points in Kansas the drought has 
nearly ruined crops, and feed will be 
scarce. Thus some of the Kansas fann¬ 
ers are tempted to sell off their stock in¬ 
stead of fattening it as usual. The 
silage experts advised against this policy: 
“There isn’t any excuse for a man to 
sell off now. Enough feed will be grown 
in Kansas this year, despite the drought, 
to feed double the number of live stock 
in the State. Put all your feed—corn, 
Kafir, cane and milo—in the silo and 
there will be plenty for stock to eat next 
Winter. The silo saves feed that usually 
is lost. And if you can’t afford an above¬ 
ground silo dig a hole in the ground—a 
pit silo. It will cost only $15 to ,$25 and 
silage keeps well in it.” 
That is sensible if there is feed enough 
in Kansas and any way of passing it 
around to all.

Ranked at the Very Top 
TAAVID RANKIN was a big farmer and he knew 
" his business. He owned the largest corn farm in the 
world, about 35,000 acres down in Missouri. He 
devoted his life to the pleasant study and practice of right farming, and 
he succeeded mightily, for he made $4,000,000 in the business of farm¬ 
ing. _ This is what David Rankin said about the manure spreader: 
“It is the most efficient money-maker on the place.” 
It’s warm praise to be ranked above all other farm machines, but it 
is in keeping with what all the agricultural world has been recognizing. 
Soils rebel when crop after crop is taken from them, without return of 
fertilizer. Witness the abandoned worn-out farms of New England. 
Return every bit of manure to the soil by the spreader method. The 
I H C manure spreader will save you much disagreeable, hard labor, 
will spread evenly, and will make one ton of manure go as far as two 
tons spread by hand. 
I H C Manure Spreaders 
are built to suit you, to do best work for the buyer in every case, to 
convince him that he has made the wisest purchase. Every detail in 
the construction has a purpose, for which it was made after thorough 
tests and experiment. They have the maximum of strength and endur¬ 
ance, and their construction bristles with advantages. 
You will find all styles and sizes in the I H C spreader line. They 
will cover the ground with a light or heavy coat, as you choose, but 
always evenly, up hill or down. There are high and low machines, 
with steel frames, endless or reverse aprons, but always giving best 
possible service. Tractive power is assured by position of the rear 
wheels well under the box, carrying nearly three-fourths of the load, 
and by wide-rimmed wheels with Z-slxaped lugs. 
These and many other things will interest you if you look the I H C 
spreader line over at the local dealer’s and will convince you that 
an I H C is the spreader for you to buy. There is one for 
your exact needs. Read the catalogues that the dealer has for you.
