ROLLER BEARING MANURE

What seems to be the most important
improvement on manure spreaders has
Success Spreader Its manufacturers
have made it roller bearing spreader
In this particular, at least, no one can
deny that the Success is in a class by
itself 1t is the only roller bearing
spreader
The advantages of this Improvement
can hardly be over-estimated. Manure
Spreaders have hard work to do. They
must haul heavy loads over rough
ground and they must be in operation.
and strong This accounts for the
heavy draft and the hardrunning that
characterize all spreaders. BY TINS SIN

time made it remarkably easy operat.

is less pressure and less strain, conse-
Quently there will be less wear and, with
the far-famed STRENGTH of the success

an impossibility
Other things that make the Success
smooth and easy operating are It's re-

A TALK ON PUMPS AND WELLS.

The pump that supplies water for do.
nestle use should be the best that
money can buy First in Importance
among all the problems of the house
farmers, apparently, shut their eyes and
pick out the location for the we'll after
the manner of playing Blind Mans
Buff" disregarding all dangers of seep-
age from cesspools, barnyards and other
sources of contamination. Then they
put in a cheap wooden pump.
In this age of driven wells and sani-
tary iron pumps, no man of Intelligence
will revert to digging a well. The we'll,
digger has found less hazardous and
more remuneratiVe occupations.
The up-to-date farmer should not be
satisfied with a wooden pump.
The difference between the cost OF
wood pump and a first-clasS iron pump
is the merest trifle-in comparison with
ter The mechanism of the iron pump
has been improved to such an extent that
q good one will last a lifetime. Repairs
are seldom if ever necessary. The adj
justment is so perfect. and the stroke
so light, that little children can easily
operate these pumps. The wood pump
is always getting out of order and re-
uuires too much elbow grease" The
screeching, wheeling, coughing cry that
so often comes from the dry throat of
the wooden pump, is most eXasperatlng.
In desperate cases which we recall 1T
has been necessary to use hot dish wa
ter for printing, when no other reserve
supply was available. A htgh-grade iron
pump never asks you to wet its whis-
tie" before it condescends to deliver the
goods" 8..r
BY all means install the best iron
pump you can buy. Be sure the well is
located in the right place.

Extra strong wheels, steel axles, staunch
oak and ash frame, panels of box bolted
to upriehts with strong flat headed
belts. These indicate the materials and
making of the whole machine. An ex-
cel1ent feature is that all pressure and
strain on the cylinder by reason of driv-
ing machinery is upon the strong rear
axle. 1t is not upon the box
We believe it is to every farmers in
terest to investigate the Success fully
before buying a spreader. 1t is a ma
chine that bears investigation. The new
roller bearing features are bound to
make it more popular than ever. This,
especially, should be borne in mind in
choosing a spreader. A card to the
Kemp & Burpee Mfg. Co., Syracuse, N
Y, will bring all desired information.

THOMPSON ALFALFA
GRASS SEED sOWER.
THE

Everybody who has alfalfa or other
grass seed to plant ought to be inter-
ested in the old reliable Thompson
Grass Seeder pictured here. 1t is now
over 35 years old. There are over 200,
900 in use and it is used all over the
world.
It's advantages for sowing alfalfa seed
are just beginning to be appreciated
That accounts in measure, at least, for
it's recent large increase in sales. The
plete seeder weighs only 45 and so lbs
There is good deal of wind in the large
alfalfa raising districts Wind does not
interfere with the seeding where the

sowing can go right along. The boppers

set to sow dependably any amount OF
seed wanted and it will do it in wind
or calm.
Wind is also a factor in sowing all
grass seeds in all regions, The

STUMP PuLLERs OR DYNAMITE.

Since Franklin Williams, Jr, farmer
and horticulturist, u. S. Department Ag-
ricultural claims that it is questionable
whether removing large stumps by dy-
Mantle is advisable for general farming
and also claims that when stump ma
chimes are once properly adjusted pro-
vided nothing breaks, their work is high
ly satisfactory and that the land cleared
by machinery is more thorough.
The machines removing practically
all roots of any size from the ground,
leaving the land in a good tillable con-
dition, many farmers having land to
clear are now purchasing stump pull
erS for that purpose.
Perhaps greater advancement has
been made in perfecting stump pullers
in the last year than in any other line
of agricultural machinery
This was done by the Hercules Mfg.
Co, of CenterVille, Iowa, who have TAX
en- out patents about a year ago on a
new steel stump puller, the first ma
chinery of this kind ever made in solid
steel.
1t is claimed the tensile strength has
been increased more than 400% and the
weight reduced 6O9h, the light weight
making the machines easier to handle in
the field, reducing the labor and the
great gain in strength practically elm
mates all risk or danger of breaking.
1t is claimed that this is the first and
only steel stump pulling machine made.
Their advertisement will be seen in
another column of this issue and pos
tai card sent to Hercules Mfg Co. Cen
terville, Iowa, will bring you their free
catalog.

qualities which are making the Thomp-
son Seeder so popular with alfalfa grow
ers are the same which years ago gave
it such a general use for sowing all
kinds of grass seeds.
The manufacturers, Q. e. Thompson d
Sons, Ypsilanti. Mich, have recently got
ten out most valuable booklet on alfal-
ia. 1t is not large, but it covers the
whole subject If you do not already
know all about alfalfa you can get 1T in
this book 1t is an attractive readable
form and the information it gives about
alfalfa can be relied upon. The booklet
is for free distribution If you are in
terested in alfalfa growing, write to the

THE AUTOMOBILE FOR THE MIL.
LIONS

Gasoline is cheaper than oats when
compared on a mileage basis. Prac-
teal people like doctors, and farmers,
and, in fact, anyone who has much
driving to do are buying motor bug
gies to save both time and expense.
Inventions such as the automobile
never disappear after coming into use,
but find and retain a place Motor We
hicles will settle in the place where
most needed( and each year do a wild
er variety of work, until finally they
will be recognized as the worlds great
est and most profitable means of trans
portation.
The motor buggy Is fast taking the
place of horse and buggy. The illus
tration herewith is of motor buggy
weighing only $50 pounds. 1t is
practical machine for practical people.
1t will go anywhere that an automobile
will go. The wheels are 38 inches
high, fitted with solid rubber tires.
Therefore the machine is adapted to
rough country roads as we'll as city
streets.
1t costs less to maintain than a
horse. 1t consumes fuel only when in
actual use. If you do not use it for a
week you do not have to exercise, feed
or care for it,
1t will run from 20 to 80 miles on
a gallon of gasoline at speed of
from to rs miles per hour. In MAX
ing long, hurried trips there is no
danger of the machine firing out like
horse. There is no danger of it's
overheating. When you reach destina-
ton you don't have to stop and hitch
or blanket it. 1t is so simple that a
woman can run it.
1t is fitted with ten horse power
engine with double opposed cylinders.
1t is mechanically air cooled; there
fore, no water to freeze.
The machine has two speeds for
ward and one reverse. Is driven by
two chains from the countershaft with
a differential Is oiled by four sight
feed oilers. has jump spark vibrator
coils and six dry cell batteries. The
frame which is the part that carries
the engine is made of angle steel, is
fastened on either end on top of two
elliptic springs.
Mr.. Black, President of the Black
Manufacturing Co., 1875 East Ohio
Street, Chicago, ILL.,, manufacturer of
the Chicago Motor Buggy, reports that
they sold 1853 machines at the Chicago
Auto Show. About one-half were sold
to farmers, the balance were about
equally divided between doctors, trav-
cling men and other classes of people
who have lot of driving to do.
This substantiates the belief that
the time has come when the farmer is
going to ride in motor driven buggy.
The above company issue a catalog
which gives full information in regard
to this particular vehicle and three or
four other styles that they manufac-

All of the Planet Jr. to.ols-there'
whole lot of them-were invented by a
farmer, S. L. Allen. He used them first
then patented them, and finally put them
on the market. In this way he had a
chance to demonstrate the practically
ity of the tools and to perfect them; and
today, after 35 years of exploitation
they stand, in point of quality and eff
cheney absolutely unrivalled in the agr1-
cultural implement field.
S. l.. Allen & Co. issue a very inter

and they are sending it to everybody who
writes for it. 1t is literally illustrated
not only with pictures of their tools. but
also with Photographic scenes showing
how the tools are used in the different
steps of crop raising. Write for one of
