“Say, I have an awful pain; I wonder 
if it is appendicitis? Can you tell me 
on what side one gets it?” “Why, on 
the inside, of course.”—Columbia Jester. 
“Do you believe,” asked the lawyer, 
“you could decide this case purely on the 
evidence?” “Yes,” replied the prospec¬ 
tive juror, “I think I could, if the de¬ 
fendant would return the silver watch 
he stole from me one time.”—Chicago 
Record-Herald. 
Inquisitive Lady: “And what is this 
little box for?” Nerve-Racked Clerk: 
“Oh, for odds and ends!” Inquisitive 
Lady: “But it has two compartments. 
Why is that?” Nerve-Racked Clerk: 
“Oh, one for odds, madam, and the other 
for ends.”—Harvard Lampoon. 
Yeast: “I see as a space-saver for 
small houses a Kansas man has invented 
folding stairs.” Crimsonbeak: “But, 
say, suppose when a fellow has come 
home late at night, and quietly taken his 
shoes off, he finds his wife has taken the 
stairs upstairs?”—Yonkers Statesman. 
Dorothy was visiting her grandpar¬ 
ents in the country for the first time. 
Seeing a quantity of feathers scattered 
about the henyard she shook her head 
in disapproval. “Grandpa,” she said 
gravely, “you really ought to do some¬ 
thing to keep your chickens from wear¬ 
ing out so.”—The Delineator. 
A Marquette boy told the teacher that 
his sister had the measles. The teacher 
sent him home and told him to stay 
there until his sister got well. After he 
had skipped joyfully away another boy 
held up his hand, and said: “Teacher, 
Jimmy Dolan’s sister what’s got the 
measles lives in Omaha.”—Topeka Jour¬ 
nal.

Are your mowing lands neglected? 
We often read in crop reports, when rainfall is small, that “grass 
in the old mowings is suffering and will be a very short crop.” Gen¬ 
erally these old mowings are neglected and their owners are relying 
on Nature unaided to give them something out of nothing. 
The average yield of hay in the United States is reported to be 
but a little over one ton per acre. Good farmers know that if their 
hay crop does not yield two tons or more per acre of good hay there 
is something wrong. They also know that the best hay, as a rule, is 
grown on newly seeded fields which have been well fertilized. It is 
found that where the soil is well fertilized there is generally little 
trouble in getting good yields of hay,—even in an unfavorable season. 
If a short rotation of crops is not convenient before land is seeded to grass, old 
mowing lands may be plowed after haying, thoroughly harrowed and put in good con¬ 
dition to be seeded down in late August or early September. Before seeding, 600 to 
1200 lbs. per acre of 
Bradley’s Fertilizers 
should be sown broadcast and harrowed in, the amount to be used depending, of course, 
on the condition of the land. The fertilizer will aid in producing a good catch of the 
seed and a vigorous growth of grass which will escape winter killing. 
Well fertilized fields stand drought better than those which are run down. The 
grass on well fertilized fields gets a better start in the spring and gives a greatly in¬ 
creased yield of better quality of hay than can be grown on old worn out fields. One 
of our customers has recently written us as follows: 
• t ? . , • . . ,' 
“ I am very much pleased with the results of the fertilizer for seeding down. 
I am now cutting the hay from the ground where I used the fertilizer and it is a 
very heavy growth. I have twenty-five acres of as handsome grass as you ever saw.” 
The best time for seeding to grass alone in the latitude of New 
England is in August and September, preferably from August 15th 
to September 10th. 
Place your orders for Bradley’s Fertilizers with our local agents 
who will obtain the fertilizer promptly, in case they have not enough 
in stock to supply you. Or if you prefer to do so, write direct to us.

MODERNIZE YOUR BARN WITH A 
PORTER CARRIER 
No bam is considered 
complete unless equip¬ 
ped with litter carriers. 
Dirty and unsanitary 
stables are no longer tolerated. The 
saving: of labor, the lessening of dan¬ 
ger from fire, immunity of live stock 
n from disease, and the saving of ma¬ 
nure, are only a few reasons why lit¬ 
ter carriers are growing more popu¬ 
lar every day. 
The Porter Litter Carrier 
is the system for the farmer who 
wants permanency. The quality of 
material and workmanship entering 
into their make-up have no equal. 
As time and labor savers, they excel 
all other makes. Get our catalogue, 
which tells and illustrates by pic¬ 
tures the many ways our feed and 
litter carriers can be used.
