TOWNSEND’S TRIPLEX 
The Greatest Grass-Cutter on Earth 
Cuts a Swath 86 Inches Wide 
Floats over the uneven ground as a ship rides the 
waves. One mower may be climbing a knoll, the sec¬ 
ond skimming a level and the third paring a hollow. 
Drawn by one horse, and 
operated by one man, the 
TRIPLEX MOWER will mow 
more lawn in a day than the 
best motor mower ever made, 
cut it better, and at a fraction 
of the cost. 
Drawn by one horse, and 
operated by one man, it will 
mow more lawn in a day than 
any three ordinary horse- 
drawn mowers with three 
horses and three men. (We 
guarantee this.) 
Does not smash the grass to 
earth and plaster it in the mud 
in springtime, nor crush out 
its life between hot rollers and 
hard, hot ground in summer, 
as does the motor mower. 
The Public is warned not io purchase mowers infringing the Townsend Patent No. /, 209,519, 
Dec. 19th. 1916

Is He a Murderer? 
It is claimed that the Catbird eats the eggs and kills the 
young of other birds. But has a case been made against him? 
What do you know about his life, habits, and relatives—as well 
as all other birds, butterflies, flowers, and trees? 
Little Nature Library 
Gives the exact information in both illustra¬ 
tions and text that you need to enable you to 
identify every bird, tree, flower, and butterfly 
that you see. These books show you the feathers 
and all identification markings, the exact colors, 
describe the habits, family history, travels, 
methods of propagating, of protection against 
enemies. They increase your pleasures in the 
great out-doors by telling you all the little-known 
things about Nature’s creatures that make your 
walks a hundredfold more delightful. Each book 
is handsomely cloth bound, size x inches. 
The titles are: “Birds,” by Neltje Blanchan; 
“Butterflies,” by Clarence Weed: "Wild Flow¬ 
ers,” by Neltje Blanchan, and “Trees,” by Julia 
Ellen Rogers. They are not ordinary dry-as- 
dust scientific Nature books—every paragraph, 
every page, every illustration is a source of keen 
interest and delight.
