Built for the Field Test. 
Three-Quarters of a Century of “Knowing 
How“ Hammered Into Every 
One of Them. 
The product of the Parlin & Orendorff Co. has 
always been noted for simplicity of construction, 
treat strength and ease of operation. It was upon 
such a basis that the founders of this business made 
their implements, established their reputation, and 
built their factory. It is upon the same foundation 
that the business has been carried on to this day, 
and in 1917 we celebrate our Diamond Jubilee; 75 
years of practical experience gained through con¬ 
stantly striving to provide for the exacting require¬ 
ments of three generations of American farmers. 
For an even three-quarters of a century we have 
met the demand, and today we operate the largest 
and oldest permanently established plow factory in 
the whole world. “It’s the way we build them.” 
Light Draft Plows, Harrows, Planters and 
Cultivators are made in all types and sizes, 
to meet the conditions in all sections, and 
are Backed by an Unqualified Guarantee. 
We also make the most complete line of Trac¬ 
tion Engine Plows produced, and we have a special 
catalog devoted to these famous plows. 
The 1^1:0 Little Genius 
Engine Gang Plow 
was the most popular plow shown at all points on 
the 1916 National Tractor Demonstration. 
We will send P & O Catalogs to any address. 
While P & O Implements are sold only through 
established implement dealers, we welcome corres¬ 
pondence from farmers in all sections.

GARDEN TOOLS 
Answer the farmer’s big questions: 
How can I have a good garden with 
least expense? How can the wife 
have plenty of fresh vegetables for 
the home table with least labor ? 
IRON AGE 
solves the garden labor problem. 
Takes the place of many tools— 
stored in small space. Sows, cov¬ 
ers, cultivates, weeds, ridges, 
etc. .better than old-time tools. 
A woman, boy or girl can 
push it and doa day^s hand¬ 
work in 60 
minutes. 38

The market is weaker, though no material price 
changes are noted. Supplies are large, partly owing 
to heavy stocking by dealers who feared the strike, 
which was averted.

Receipts of potatoes from Maine are large. Sound, 
desirable stock is held at previous prices, but there 
Is a rather large proportion of ordinary grades going 
at 25 to 50 cents per sack lower. Onions running a 
trifle lower. Cabbage In fair supply from the South 
and far West. Lettuce scarce and higher for fair to 
good. Kale and spinach in larger supply. Tomatoes 
in larger receipt from the West Indies and Florida, 
averaging low in quality.

The Demand for Farm Labor in Canada is Great. 
As an inducement to secure the necessary help at 
once, Canada will give one hundred and sixty 
acres of land free as a homestead and allow 
the time of the farm laborer, who has filed on the 
land to apply as residence duties, the same as if 
he actually had lived on it. Another special con¬ 
cession is the reduction of one year in the time 
to complete duties. Two years instead of three 
as heretofore but only to men working on the 
farms for at least six months in 1917. This appeal 
for farm help is in no way connected with enlist¬ 
ment for military service but solely to increase 
agricultural output. A wonderful opportunity to 
secure a farm and draw good wages at the same 
time. Canadian Government will pay all fare 
over one cent per mile from St. Paul and Duluth 
to Canadian destinations. Information as to low 
railway rates may be had on application to

I Just One 
Piece in it! 
The Sharpies Bowl is easy to 
clean and hard to hurt. It has 
no discs! It’s a plain strong tube 
—simply run a brush through 
it, and it’s clean. Sharpies bowls 
in use 12 or 15 years are still in 
perfect balance—for there is 
nothing in them to get bent and 
throw them out of balance. Owing 
to its small diameter the Sharpies 
Bowl creates doubled skim¬ 
ming force —because the 
milk is always making a 
sharp turn; thus the cream is extract¬ 
ed more thoroughly. This bowl 
is also remarkably long—milk 
travels further while the in¬ 
tense skimming force is 
working on it. But its 
greatest feature is that it 
will skim clean regard¬ 
less of how fast or slow 
■ ■ you turn it. 
SHARPLES 
A SUCTION-FEED 
Cream separator 
is the only separator that: 
—skims clean at widely-varying speeds 
—gives the same thickness cream regardless of speed changes 
—skims your milk quicker when you turn faster 
—has only one piece in the bowl—no discs, easy to clean 
—has knee-low supply tank and once-a-month oiling 
Sharpies varies the feed in direct proportion to 
the separating force^ and thus insures clean 
skimming at all speeds—needs no watching. It’s 
positive protection against cream loss. All fixed- 
feed separators lose considerable cream 
when turned below speed —and 19 out 
of 20 people do turn too slow. A Sharp¬ 
ies will average 5% more cream than 
any other separator just for this reason.

Wheat—oats—bran mean nothing, except as a means to an end. 
What is really needed is protein, fat and carbohydrates. In your 
silage and hay you have an abundant supply of fat and carbohy¬ 
drates, but these crops are lacking in protein. 
nourish your stock to make beef, butter fat and mutton, protein must 
be bought, or you must feed your valuable grain. You cannot afford to feed grain at 
present prices. You cannot afford to use grain concentrates. The same amount of 
money will buy twice the amount of protein in cotton seed meal. 
Note These Manure Values 
The figures above are based 
on average fertilizer prices. 
The present value of Cotton 
S.ed Meal manure ia $38. 
Cotton seed meal is often used as a fertilizer. It is is rich in Nitroiren. Phosphoric 
Acid and Potash. At present fertilizer prices it is worth S48 per ton. Feed it and 80 
per cent of this fertilizing value is retained in the manure. The manure is actually 
worth S38 per ton today. Its value at average prices is $25 per ton.

meal. Address nearest office. (ig)
