The Plymouth Cordage Co.


We are in receipt of circular letter
from the Plymouth Cordage Co. North
Plymouth Mass. saying that somebody
is trying to corner the Slsal product.
The American people are always look
ing for some speculation all of us, or
at least nearly all of us and we seem
to give undue homage and honor to
the man who will corner the grain or
wheat market or almost any other
market, so that the man who is cor
nering does not tread on orr toes.
1t has been our experience that the
price of slsal is always governed by
the price of Manila and yet it may
be the other way for all we know. In
any event. if sisal is cornerej, and
hemp and jute are raised in any con-
siderable quality by our own farmers,
anybody cornering sisal will surely be
effected by the supply of this other
twiEe material. The Plymouth Cord
age Co., are good reliable people, and
out readers will do well to inquire
about the Plymouth produce when
buying Irvine.

Hrnong Our Patrons
Gasoline Engines.

A booklet recently came into our
hands called "l6 reasons" 1t is
sent out by the Temple Engine Mfg.
Co., of Chicago. They state very
plainly and to the point sixteen rea.
sons why their 80 in 1" Master Work
man gasoline engines are superior to
other engines,
One important reasons is that
the Master Workman engine occupies
less space than any horizontal engine,
and can therefore be used most con-
veniently where room is limited. 1t
also has more uses and works under
more various conditions than most
other engines.
One particular point is that the
Master Workman engine has absolutely
perfect fabrication and therefore runs
steady, with full use of power, and
lasts longer. Then again, the mechan
ISM is in full view, which is a most
important advantage and makes it
especially adaptable for beginners.
Another reason is, its full power is
available up to the limit; which is not
the case IN single cylinder engine.
The last reason given in this booklet
is that Master Workman engines are
built by a Company who guarantee
protection to every buyer. Coming
from a Company in the 56th year of
its business life, this guarantee has
a very strong meaning. We suggest
that this booklet is we'll worth the at
tention of everyone contemplating
buying gasoline engine.

Unusual interest Taken in Fer
tiliZerS.

A very keen interest is being dis
played by farmers generally, regarding
commercial fertilizers. There has al
ways even more or less mystery CON
nected with the til values and COM
position of commercial fertilizers,
which according to the Chas. H. Lilly
Co., need no longer exist, for they
claim that there should be no trouble
experienced by the farmer in obtain
ing all information desired before 60
ing to any expense or time on the
fertilization of the soil.
The State Colleges of Pullman,
WASH, and Corvallis, Ore, provide
every facility for protecting the man
who uses fertilizers, and compels
every manufacturer and dealer resid-
ing in Oregon or Washington to fur
nish guarantees to the purchaser,
showing the actual composition of all
fertilizers sold. Any consumer may
verify such guarantees by having
ANALYSIS made. These colleges are
distributing special information on
this subject, which it would be we'll
to send for, for it will certainly pay
the farmer to dig up all information
possible on this subject; but the pre-
caution that the consumer should take
is to see that the guaranteed analysis
is on every sack or bag of fertilizer
sold to them.

Mel aughIin Bros. Horses.
Saint Paul Minnesota,
December II 1909.


The Ranch,
Seattle. Washington.
Gentlemen The four year ole Per-
cheron stallion, CarnOt which won
first prize and Championship at the
recent International was purchased
by Mr.. James b. Mclaughlin year
ago last summer in France for SloO0.
After keeping Carnot in France year
we showed him at the great Percheron
horse show in France where he stood
second under the six year old stallion
Etudiant which stallion we also own
ed We sold Carnot to some South
Americans for $1,000 They afterwards
sold him to George Crouch for about
$4,000. George Crouch sold him two
weeks ago at the international for
$40, 900.
The stallion Dragon won second
prize. We sold Dragon to Virginia
breeder for S6000
We won third prize on Furibond
and consider him really the best horse
of the lot. We expect to keep Furi-
bond for another year.
The fourth prize was awarded to a
stallion of our importation named
Mvlord. We sold Mylord to Fred
L
year ago for $4,000.
These were The only horses that
were purchased by us in France that
were exhibited in the aged class al
though there we're between thirty and
forty entries. The fact that the top
four were all owned by us or had been
owned by us is evidence of the quality
Of horses that can be found at our
stables.
1t is significant to know that the
best hosres command higher prices
than they have ever sold for before
and one horse that we sold for $4,000
last June has since sold for more than
three times that amount If any one
wishes to get the best stallion at the
lowest price they should purchase of
us.

Fort Motto they would compel the English TO
surrender. But Marion and Lee hestated.

Would she not give way to an outburst OF

finally announced to their hostess that her home
must be destroyed. To their surprise, Mrs

Not only this. She gave bow and arrows

Meanwhile. Mrs. Motto, like Spartan mother.

that were being consumed, and sorrowed over
them. But she rejoicing also. feeling the
sweetness OF self-sacrifice for the good of her
countrymen and her native land.
Did she realize then that for hundreds OF
years this deed would ring down in American
history? Probably not. The makers OF history
seldom realize that they are making history.
Many deeds Of heroism seem OF no moment at

years. popular estimation halls them and calls
them heroism.
