Hmone Our Patrons
A Wonderful Seeder.

You have undoubtedly noticed the
advertising of o. e. Thompson & Son
of Ypsilanti, Michigan on their wheel
barrow seeder. This seeder has been
on the market for nearly forty years.
Over 200, 600 of them have been sold
and are now in use. All are making
money for their owners by increasing
crops and saving seed.
Thompson's Wheelbarrow Seeder
means better stands of alfalfa, clover,
orchard grass, bluegrass, etc. 1t sows
uniformly, economically, and evenly,
and it sows quickly or slowly, thirty
to fifty acres day, as you desire.
The hopper is carried close to the
ground, preventing wind from affect
ing the work of the Thompson Seeder.
1t works equally we'll on rough or
smooth ground. Thomson's Seeder
successfully meets all the conditions
on your particular land. 1t lasts a
life time, but quickly pays for itself.
1t balances perfectly always.
Thomson's Wheelbarrow Seeders are
made in every style. and size to meet
every condition. There is a Thomp-
son for you, no matter what seed, or
how many acres, or what quantity to

Papering Whitewashed Walls

From personal experience | know
there is no need of having paper peel
from walls that have been whitewash-
ed, if one is willing to- take a little
time and trouble. First wet the wall
with clean water, using clean
broom; then with a small, sharp hoe
or scrape remove all the old white
wash you can. Get strip of the
paper cut and pasted, then wet wall
with strong vinegar the width of the
strip, put on paper at once, patting
down we'll with clean Goth. Another
way is 90 make very thin paste by
dissolving one pound Of white glue IN
five quarts OF warm water and wash
ing the walls we'll ! with it. Paste
both paper and wall. The paste may
be made of either rye or wheat -four,
but should be kept warm.

easy reach when cooking. For the
salt make holes in the cover with a
small nail; for pepper, the holes can
be made with a tack. A corn can
will make a biscuit cutter, if the
smooth end is melted off and holes
punched in the other. This can is
also good to chop potatoes while in
the frying pan.

Hattie's Helpful Hints.

For rusty fat irons-Before putting
them away and while still warm, rub
thoroughly with lard or machine oil,
keep in as dry a place as possible.
Before using, let them become quite
hot then rub with a soft cloth and
scour with dry salt. Ii you take this
nrecaution to do this you will be saw
ed much annoyance from red smutty
marks on your linen.
To remove mildew-Wash we'll In
clean, cold water, then dip stains into
a solution of oxalic acid made by
putting one teaspoon Of the acid
crystals into one pint OF water; rinse
at once in clear water. then wash as
usual. The acid is poison and the
CRYSTALS should not be touched with
the hands. Be sure to put label on
the bottle. Ii you have no acid, rub
the widowed spots while dry with
pure lard, then put in the sun, taking
care that no rain or dew falls on the
garments. Repeat every day for
week, then wash. The lard has an
advantage over the acid, as it will not
injure the fabric. The acid will burn
or rot the cloth if not used in the
proportions given.
Uses for small tin cans-Have two
for salt and pepper, standing within

Waste in Farming Methods.

Although China is probably the
richest agricultural region on the globe
and is capable of producing millions
of dollars worth of crops in excess of
its needs, it is a sad fact that through
waSteful methods and lack of imprOv-
ed implements, the yield of crops is
totally inadequate to supply the de-
mand, and the majority of Cinnamon
living in the heart of the finest farm
ing region on earth, are forced to
subsist almost entirely on a diet of
rice.
While America produces crops far
in excess of any other country in the
world, this prosperity is not due so
much to natural advantages as to pro-
gressive methods and the adoption of
improved time and labor saving
implements. In fact many of the
most fertile and productive portions
of our farm land were wrested from
the barren desert by means of irriga-
ton.
This principle which is true as TIC
nations is equally true with the in.
dividual, and the farmer who adopts
modern time and labOr-saving imple-
ments in his field and garden will
save money and produce larger and
better crops.
No tools have done more to enrich
the farmer and increase his crops than
the well-knOwn Planet Jr farm and
garden tools. Their excellence is
recognized by farmers every where.
These tools were invented by Samuel
l.. Allen, a practical farmer whose
original idea led him to construct
improved implements for use on his
own farm. The ingenuity of these
inventions and their practical eff
cheney were too good to remain long
unknown and he was soon constructing
similar implements for his neighbors.
From this beginning has grown the
large and complete plant of S. l..
Allen q Company in Philadelphia
from which enormous quantities of
farm implements are now shipped to
all parts of the world
Samuel L. Allen did not stop with
the perfection of a few implements
but has extended his abilities to every
branch of farming and gardening.
and wheel hoes for garden, one and
two horse cultivators, potato diggers.
and orchard and beet tool that are
adapted for all farming and gardening
purposes.
Any farmer who is interested in
getting the best results will find a
copy OF the Planet Jr. catalogue filled
with valuable suggestions and helpful
information. 1t can be had upon re-
quest.
