dromedary is, Tommy.” Tommy: “A 
dromedary, ma’am, is a two-masted 
camel.”—Yonkers Statesman.

“Cheer up,” some one said to Brother

“A man in our neighborhood who 
used to practise two hours every day on 
the trombone is laid up in the hospital.” 
“Serves him right.” “I know what you 
think, but you’re mistaken. He has 
typhoid fever.” — Birmingham Age- 
llerald. 
Eleanor, aged six, had been going to 
school only a few weeks. She had 
learned to raise her hand if she wanted 
anything. One day she put this into 
effect when she was sent to the chicken- 
house to get the eggs. Just as she 
reached the chicken-house door her 
mother heard her say, “All you chick¬ 
ens that have laid an egg, raise your 
hands.”—The Delineator.

IHOOSING a spreader that will prove a big 
paying investment for years to come is a seri¬ 
ous problem. You can’t judge by appearance, for 
all spreaders look very much alike. 
The way to be sure is to get right into the details of construc- 
. See how and of what they are made. The handsome

Kemp 20th Century Corn King Cloverleaf 
is a true index to the quality in every part—not a cloak to cover up 
defects in workmanship and material. See them and judge for your¬ 
self if there are any others which have— 
—such a noticeable absence of troublesome, unim¬ 
portant gear wheels 
—so few levers 
—such a perfect apron 
—such wonderful range of feed tinder alisolute and 
instantaneous control of the driver 
—such remarkably light draft, due to roller-bearings 
—such perfect distribution 
—such strength in every part. 
I H C spreader frames are made of hard, heavy, non-porous, 
resinous wood—air dried, so that the sap is retained and the wood 
fiber cemented together. This prevents the manure liquids from 
penetrating the wood—makes it impervious to manure acids. 
Cloverleaf spreaders have endless aprons. Kemp 20th Century 
and Corn King spreaders are of the return apron type. All are made 
in several sizes ranging in capacity from 30 to 70 bushels. All can lie 
furnished with lime hoods to spread commercial fertilizer and drilling 
attachments to distribute manure in rows. 
Ask the I Ii C local dealer to show you the style and size that 
will just meet your needs. Investigate its construction carefully. 
Compare it with any other make if you wish—then decide. If you

The electrically welded fence illustrates the practical economy 
of modern science—it saves weight, saves wire, saves money, 
by eliminating waste wire;—and it adds strength. 
All those inches of wire in wraps, ties and clamps are waste 
inches—and they add up to rods of waste wire for which the fence 
buyer pays. Don’t buy any fence until you see the only welded 
fence. The 
“Pittsburgh Perfect” Fence 
Is One Solid Piece of Steel Throughout 
Wires electrically welded at every contact point. 
The weld is even stronger than the wires. The “Perfect” is stronger and more durable 
than any other fence and lower in price than any other fence made of the same gauge (size) 
wires. Every wire is of open hearth steel conceded to be stronger and tougher (better in 
every way) than Bessemer steel. Galvanized at our own plant by our improved method. 
See the “Perfect” before you buy—that’s all we ask. Made in 73 different styles for every 
fence purpose. Your dealer sells it. Write for free catalog.
