be about as follows: 1000 pounds Of

aNX 7HEN prosperous farmers, noted for their
Wv shrewdness and foresight buy H G har-
vesting and haying machines and tools
year after year, the evidence is conclusive that
those machines give satisfactory service, and add
to the incomes of the farmers who buy them.
The reasons why these machines are investments,
why they go into fields of grain and bind it all
with the least waste whether it be tall or short,
standing, down, or tangled, why they last and do
good work year after year, are reasons you should
know. The knowledge of what / H c machines
will do for you, is knowledge that pays.
On matters in which there is community of
interest, no business man in this country has
better opportunity of gathering practical knowl-
edge about the details of his business than has
the American farmer. There is ample proof that
farmers are readers and students, in the constant
ly growing use of machines for saving time and
labor the farm, for increasing the efficiency of
farm help, for conserving the fertility of the SOIL
and for quickly and cheaply harvesting crops of
every description. knowledge of the uses and
value of farm machines leads to close study of
those machines. Study and comparisons bring out
features of quality. knowledge of quality leads
to the purchase Of high grade H G harvesting
and haying machines and tools marked with one
of the following names:

down. Each part is numbered and lettered
plainly to avoid confusion in ordering. Each part
is made to gauge accurately that it fits like new
and does the work it was made to do with no
more than the usual adjustments. The story of
these machines is told in catalogues with which
every American farmer should be familiar.
There is need for the exercise of the widest
knowledge and most thorough care in the har-
vesting of grain crops in this country Population
is increasing by leaps and bounds. The good
grain growing land is about all taken up. Feeding
the increased population from the same number
of acres means making the most of each acre. An
increasing population means better prices for
grain. The profits in view for the farmer grow
larger with each succeeding year. Under these
conditions it is exceedingly important that there
be no loss or waste at harvest time. The best
way to prevent it is to purchase H c harvesting
and haying machines.
Besides selling you the most thoroughly proved
machines in the world, the l H c local dealer can
supply you with binder Irvine that can be used in
those machines without trouble or waste. There
are seven brands of this Irvine; Champion, Deer.
ing, Mccormick, Milwaukee, Osborne, Plano,
and International-all made of four grades: sisal,
standard, manila, and pure manila, each perfectly
dependable.

i was the very night before the
Fourth when Jacob Sellew remem.
bored the fireworks. His daughter
and the servants had already gone
down to the country house. and he
was stopping at hotel. There was
a new motor car to 60 down, too.
and he had decided to drive It him
self as he was skilled operator and
the roads were perfect.
He ordered the fireworks by tele.
phone and stopped for them with
the new car, for Alice had sent in an
urgent reminder of their need. A
few minutes afterward he went on
his way, the tonneau Of the car and
every available inch of room in the
seat beside him being filled with
explosives.
Rockets and Roman candles, red
and green fire, set-pieces and cannon
crackers made up the assortment.
Jacob Sellew made an annual sac
rifice Of gunpowder to show his
patriotism.
His trip across the ferry and along
the suburban roads was uneventful'
Things did not really begin to hap

speeded a little.
The new car worked like clock

The moon rose and made the road
white and clear. There were still five
miles between him and his home
He decided to smoke. He forgot that
he carried load OF explosives.
He lighted cigar and hummed q
