Government figures show the 
appalling waste of seven hundred million 
dollars each year through the failure of 
farmers to get the most from their stable manure. 
These figures represent the cost of haphazard 
methods that borrow soil-fertility—and do not return 
it—of manure piles behind the barn with their nitro¬ 
gen, potash, and phosphoric acid, rapidly leaching 
away—of wagon-tail distribution where the pitch 
fork scatters manure in uneven lumps, to enrich 
some portions of the soil and starve others. 
The New Idea Changes Loss to Profit 
Thousands of farmers, how¬ 
ever, have turned their share of 
this loss into gain. They are now 
getting three, five, ten—yes, even 
as high as fifteen bushels more 
to the acre. And they are doing 
this without extra labor or extra 
cost— with the manure spreader 
that pays for itself twice 
over in its first year’s use. 
Original Wide 5 Spreading Spreader 
T HERE is a vital need on every farm for 
this better spreader. It’s the spreader 
that everyone knows—that loads high, 
hauls easily, shreds manure fine and spreads 
it a full seven feet wide. 
The NEW IDEA is built for long, hard 
service. It can’t be compared with any other 
spreader on the market. Examine one care¬ 
fully and you will see why. You will notice 
the heavy steel construction, the direct chain 
drive without gears or clutches, the big steel 
distributor paddles, the lever at seat regu¬ 
lating spread of 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 loads to the 
acre, shredding cylinders, chain conveyors, 
etc. 
If you want to get the most from your 
manure, regardless of conditions — start 
spreading regularly with the NEW IDEA. 
Cover every inch of your ground with well 
shredded manure that has come fresh from 
your stable, rich in liquid fertilizer, and you 
will get results that will prove more than 
anything we can say.
