WWARVESTS measure the health of your land. The farmer who 
mTI uses wasteful methods of manuring robs himself of from five 
to fifteen bushels per acre • And more , he robs his soil of fertility 
which even proper manuring cannot restore for years, 
P ROPER manuring means light applications. It means applying manure while It 
is fresh. It means thin, but thorough, applications to every square foot of soil* 
Your farm paper editor, county agent, or experiment station men will tell you 
that light applications the year around pay best. For government tests show that 
six months storage means an actual loss of one-half the valuable nitrogen, potash 
and phosphoric acid plant-food properties of manure~a loss that any farmer can ill 
afford to stand. 
So begin right now— and through every week of the w riter continue~to spread 
manure direct from your stable onto your fields. Neither cold weather nor snow 
will stop this good work if you use a __ 
(Known as the NISCO in the West) 
The time to buy your NEW IDEA is Now! No other invest- ipjll 
ment will pay for itself so quickly. No other labor will show 
up so big on your next year’s profits. And in no other way ^8| 
will you save so much disagreeable, dirty work in handling your manure. ^ 
Just look at the illustration. See how the NEW IDEA spreads—a full seven 
feet wide-laying a thin, uniform blanket of finely shredded manure on every sqi 
foot of your ground covered.

THE NEW IDEA 
Straw Spreading 
Attachment 
JsJEXT to your manure pile, straw is 
your biggest, most valuable by-pro¬ 
duct. Bum it, and you bum fertilizer that 
is worth, at the very lowest, $8.00 per 
ton. Burn it, and you burn the greatest 
protection you can give your wheat against 
winter killing. For adding humus to your 
soil, preventing soil washing and blowing, 
straw is almost invaluable! 
The NEW IDEA Straw Spreading 
Attachment—for old machines or new— 
shreds the straw and spreads it evenly 
8 to 10 feet wide. Easy to put on or 
take off—a one-man ma¬ 
chine. Your dealer will 
show you. Or write direct 
for literature. 
Loads High—Hauls Easily 
The NEW IDEA is built low down—it 
is easy to load. Pile it a full 30 inches high, 
and your team will handle it on any ground 
—spreading 3, 6, 9, 12 or 15 loads to the 
acre, as you wish. 
No gears on the NEW IDEA to break 
in cold weather. Strong chains drive the 
pulverizing cylinders and the big steel distributor 
paddles that spread the manure in an even stream 
well outside the wheel tracks. 
Simple inconstruction, extra strong, yet light-draft 
—this is unquestionably the spreader you need.
