Apply Engine Power To Your Farm 
2 H-P. WITTE 
A WITTE Engine on your 
farm will make your work 
easier, increase your capacity, 
save time and money. Its power can 
be economically applied to a large 
variety of uses every day in the year. 
It is a high tension ignition engine 
that you can install, operate and keep in order 
yourself, using the fuel that is cheapest or 
easiest to get in your locality — gas, distillate, 
kerosene or gasoline. 
You can take a WITTE of suitable 
size and furnish power to pump the water for 
your stock, grind or chop their feed, fill thesilo 
milk the cows if you have a milking machine* 
separate the cream, chumit, and roll the butter’ 
It will clean the grain for seeding, 
operate the self binder, thresh the crop, bale 
the straw, and crush limestone to renew the 
soil. It will furnish power to operate your feed 
mill, husk and elevate the com, or shell it, and 
grind it for your daily table use. You can mix 
cement for building purposes, drill a well or 
do the family washing. 
In the spring you can irrigate your 
orchard and spray your fruit trees, assuring a 
bumper crop. In the fall you can grind the 
apples for your store of cider, or crush the cane 
to make syrup for your breakfast wheat cakes. 
With a WITTE outfit you can saw 
the wood, operate your saw mill, clear your 
land, cut your ice In the winter, or fill your 
stock pond in the summer. A WITTE will 
work all day without pay, rain or shine, hot or 
cold, and when night comes it will furnish 
power to run the dynamo so that you can light 
your home or outbuildings by merely touching 
the button. 
200,000 successful farmers and 
ranchers are using WITTE Engines to operate 
all kinds of labor saving machines. They arc 
making more money, adding to the family pros¬ 
perity, comfort, convenience and pleasure at a 
most economical cost. Some use only one en¬ 
gine, others have a dozen at work. What they 
are doing, you can do, if you wish. I will sell 
you an engine suitable for your needs, on any 
terms fair to both — cash or easy payments— 
as you prefer. 
You will make no mistake in select¬ 
ing a yVITTE for your farm or your shop work. 
I have been making farm and shop engines 
exclusively for 34 years. I have the largest 
exclusive engine factory in the U. S. selling 
direct. You buy direct. You get 100 per cent 
engine building efficiency. You get quick 
shipment—no long waiting—you take no risk. 
I guarantee every part of the 
WITTE you get against defect during the en¬ 
tire life of the engine. I guarantee safe de¬ 
livery and big surplus power over rating. You 
pay only my low FACTORY price, saving from 
$16 to $500 according to Bize purchased. 
As as illustration: I can sell you 
a 2 H-P. WITTE, gasoline, complete on skids, 
regular equipment, at a special cash price of 
$44.05. All other sizes, 8, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 22 
and 30 H-P. at favorable prices. The WITTE 
catalog, sent FREE, shows every part of the 
WITTE Engine—explains its use—tells why 
it is better. 
Write me today for this Big Illus¬ 
trated Catalog. Learn what others are doing 
with their WITTE Engines. What WITTE 
users Bay will give you the kind of information 
that will be most valuable in selecting an en¬ 
gine for your work. I want you to see this 
book before you decide on any make of engine. 
It will interest you.—Ed. H. Witte, Pres.

Hens Eating Eggs 
I note the discussion about pgg-etiting < 
liens and would like to state my one ex- ! 
perienee with this method. I had been | 
told that if the tip end of the bill was filed [ 
off with an old file heated red hot the bill 
would be left in a spongy condition, and 
the bird could not break the shell. This 
looked reasonable, but when I happened 
to catch the bird just as she bad broken 
the shell and was beginning to enjoy the 
feast. I was in too big a hurry to heat the 
file, wo I took a good file and cut straight 
across the bill until it was about an eighth 
of an inch across the flat of the end. I 
then tied a string on the leg so if any 
more eggs were broken I would at least 
know that hen, and would touch the bill 
with the hot file. To my surprise the egg¬ 
eating stopped right there, and it had been 
going on for probably two weeks, which 
could be told by the egg stains on others 
in the nests. This try-out was on White 
Leghorns last Winter, and I only have 
used the method the one time, but think 
it well worth trying. H. n. hutchins.
