An automatic blower belt tightener
which keeps the belt always right.
A powerful friction clutch which
gives the operator perfect control of

The best shredder, the best husker,
the best machine
All these matchless, cash-creating
features are found only in the Janney
common sense husker and shredder.
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating. The real value and worth and
Epracticability of any machine is best,
demonstrated by the statements of
those who have used them. The fol-
lowing testimonials speak for them
selves:

shredded fodder than in the ears. In
fact, government experimental sta
ton has figured out that the farmers
of this country have been allowing
millions of dollars worth of stock
food to annually rot in their corn
fields. Just think of it. The awful
waste on the part of the farmer, after
going through all kinds of weather and
laboring hard in the broiling July sun
to make corn crop and then allowing
half of it to go to waste. The Janney
common sense husker and shredder
will save it all and because this fact is
now being recognized by progressive
and up-to-date farmers is found the
reason why single dealers are ordering
hese magnificent machines in hundred
thousand dollar lots, to be shipped tc
them by the train load.

In addition to the above testimon--

exhibition of the Janney husker on the
state fair grounds at Columbus, Ohio,
during the first week in September,
this year. the following signs We're
prominently displayed on two of the
machines:
''This husker sold to S. K. Stevenson,
Lebanon, Ohio, who has run a Janney
husker seven years and now buys a
second one"
"This husker sold to Asa Boynton,
Haverhill, Ohio, who has run a jan
ney husker four years, and now buys
a second one.

could be asked of the worth and value
and workmanship of the Janney pro-
duct. The Janney Common Sense
Husker and Fodder Shredder
is an unquestioned and I'M
equivocal success, and this fact is now
known and recognized by intelligent
and up-to-date farmers and agricultur-
alists in every portion of the United
States.
A Big Thing for ottumwa.
These facts all go to show that when
the progressive citizens of Ottumwa
united in a determined and success
full effort, four years ago to secure the
Janney factory for this city, no mis-
take was made. The business of
the factory has steadily grown and
developed from the first day that
work was commenced within it's walls.
During the manufacturing season now
closing, it has run night and day much
of the time and has paid out many
thousands of dollars monthly for
labor, a fact that has been of great
Importance to the business interests

city The sale by the hun

chimes costing $3.50 each and the

object lesson that is as interesting as

stration of progress that cannot fail
| to have an important bearing upon the
future growth and development of OF

Sustained by Solid Worth and Value
Developments of this character dc
not come unless there is solid worth
and value behind them. The Janney
Common Sense Husker and Fodder
Shredder is recognized today by prac-
| teal men, as the best corn husker and

!, the only one in the world of solid steel
construction.

The Janney Manufacturing Co., of
Ottumwa, today made the largest ship
ment of corn huskers and fodder
shredders ever made in the United
States. 1t consisted of solid train
load Of these machines, consigned to
the E. T. Kenney company, of Indian
apolis, Ind, and was the completion of
an order for over $4,000 worth of
these machines, from a single custo-
mer. This special train which has
been designated as the "Janney Husk-
er Flyer" pulled out via the G. r. l..
& P. railway at 1880 o'clock this morn
ing and will run on the following
schedule, straight through to Indian

A special schedule for the running
of this train has been issued by the
Rock Island road and the train will
stop a few minutes at each of the i'm
portant stations along the line, to en-
able the people to see and examine
the machines. A passenger coach

ABOUT CORN HAY.
How to Obtain the Full Value of the
Corn Crop.
by the Nebraska Farmer.1

by the Nebraska Farmer
There is now growing throughout
the corn states in that portion of the
country designated as the corn belt .
one of the largest crops OF corn eyer
produced. A great crop yield is almost a
certainty and means much to the farm
er and stock feeder, when it is proper
ly harvested and made into suitable
feed for the farm animals.
The experience of last year in the
utilization of the corn fodder crop
should not be carelessly lost sight of
in this year of great plenty. While
there are great crops of small grain
being harvested, and great crops of
hay reported from many states, there
| is shortage of these feed crops in
other districts, and a demand for the
grains and rough feeds of the country
will most certainly develop before the
| feeding season OF next winter has
ended.
AT no time in the history of the
l.country has there been greater induce,
ments offered the farmer and stock
man to feed cattle and sheep than is
presented now for the feeding season
of 1923. This demand of the feed
yard industry means market Tor al

Farmer, of Des Moines, Ia, gives an
excellent idea of the real value of
shredded fodder or corn hay. 1t is the
opinion of Mr.. Wallace, who is admit
ted to be one of the best posted agri--
culturists in the United States:
Fifteen years ago, at meeting
of the Iowa Improved Stock Breeders
Association, at Atlantic, Prof. Sanborn
startled the breeders with an estimate
of the amount of food that was wasted
every year by the failure of farmers to
fully utilize their corn fodder. In those
days the best thing the farmer could
