This department is not for the pur-
pose of advertising tools or imple-
ments. and no such article that is sold
Is ever mentioned by the manufactur-
er's name. There are implements and
conveniences, however. made by differ
ent manufacturers which should find
place on every farm, and one of them
is the manure-spreader, Of which there
are several good makes.
No one can appreciate the value Of
this implement until he has used it
1t Is not only a labor-saver, but 1T
spreads the manure in any quantity
desired, and spreads it evenly. All Of
it's operations are controlled from the

spreading should be in operation from
now on more or less through the win
ter, and no farmer can make better
investment than to have this imple-
ment. 1t will give him added years of
life In the labor it will save him, and
enable him to grow better crops.

are mounted on horses they have stolen
from settlers whose farms they have

out. The Hereros tribe numbers be-
tween 10000 and 10000 warriors. At
tempts were made recently to relieve
the garrison of the German post at Okla

but the Windhoek forces were unable to
reach the beleaguered fort. Rebellious
blacks were swarming about the post
on all sides. A band of natives is march
