the bill are : 
Section 340. Inspection and sale of seeds. 
No person shall sell, offer, expose or have 
in his possession for sale for the purposes 
of seeding, any seeds or cereals, grasses, 
clovers or forage plants in quantities ex¬ 
ceeding one pound, unless every receptacle, 
package, sack or bag containing such seeds, 
or a label securely attached thereto, is 
marked in a plain indelible manner as fol¬ 
lows ; and said marks shall be on the re¬ 
ceptacle, package, sack or bag itself if 
there is more than ten per centum of in¬ 
jurious foreign seed : 
a. With the full name and address of the 
seller. 
b. With the name of the kind or kinds 
of seeds, except in the case of mixtures pre¬ 
pared for special purposes, when so labeled, 
and the name of any foreign injurious seeds 
present to the extent of five per centum or 
over by count and the name and per centum 
of the following adulterants, if present, 
which adulterants shall not be taken into 
consideration when estimating the five per 
centum hereinbefore referred to: Yellow 
trefoil in Red clover. Yellow trefoil, Burr 
clover. Sweet clover or dodder, in Alfalfa. 
Canadian Blue grass in Kentucky Blue 
grass. Meadow fescue or Rye grass in

UNCLE SAM FURTHER SAYS! 
'Til tell you why I recommend the United States. Because:—1 
Its makers tell the truth. When they say they won the 
GRAND PRIZE at the Seattle Exposition, IT’S SO. 
They can prove it. 
“Its record is one long series of honorable dealings. 
It never tries to fake its way. 
“It skims cleaner, lasts longer, gives more 
,v« 5 i v satisfaction than any other.”

YOU 
$50 to $300 
S AVE from $50 to $300 by buying your gasoline engine of 2 to 22-horse-power from 
a real engine factory. Save dealer, jobber and catalogue house profit. No such offer 
as I make on the class of engine I sell has ever been made t>efore in all Gasoline Engine 
history. Here is the secret and reason : 1 turn them out all alike by the thousands in my 
enormous modern factory, equipped with automatic machinery. I sell them direct to you 
for less money than some factories can make them at actual shop cost. 
All you pay me for is actual raw material, labor and one small profit (and I buy my 
material in enormous quantities). 
Anybody can afford ami might just as well have a high grade engine when he 
can get in on a wholesale deal of this kind. I’m doing something that never was 
done before. Think of it! A price to you that is lower than dealers and 
jobbers can buy similar engines for, in carload lots, for spot cash. 
An engine tliat is made so good in the factory that I will send 
It out anywhere in the U. S. without an expert to any inexperienced 
users, on 30 days’ free trial, to test against any engine made of 
similar horse-power that sells for twice as much, and let him 
be the judge. Sell your poorest horse snd
