THIS DISC HARROW HAS
A DOUBLE PURPOSE
New Farm Machine Will Be Of Great
Benefit to Fruit Growers.

Eugene Brown of Colfax has a dou-
BILE purpose disc harrow which gives
promise of being a great boon to the
farmers and orchard owners of the
Inland Empire. The harrow is built
so that one end can be attached to the
tree, the team attached to the other
end and the horses walk round and
round the tree, pulverizing the soil to
the hearts desire
One horse can easily do all the work
necessary. The harrow is equally we'll
suited for field work and many farm
ers who have examined It have ex-
pressed the opinion that it has no SUI
perior on the market as a weed killer
and soil pulverizer.
1t is easy of draft, completely con
trolled by the operator as to depth and
can be operated to throw the soil all
down hill going either way or all up
hill, or part either way as the operator
may desire.
One great advantage Of the machine
is that farmer having a small orchard
on his place will not be compelled to
buy two harrows to do his work prop
erly. He has only to get the tree at
tachments and he has the field and
orchard cultivator.
AS an orchard machine the great
advantage is in its thorough cultiva-
ton of the soil and that each and every
tree can have all the cultivation that
it needs leaving the ground level. If
desired the discs can be set to throw
the soil away from the tree or towards
the tree. Another advantage is that
the branches of the tree may be left
within two feet Of the ground and still
the ground can be thoroughly cult
waited.

senior United States senator from
Montana, especially recognizing the
bitter fight now being made upon him
by the Amalgamated Copper company
and other corporation interests, which
fact In itself IL sufficient to commend
him to the people of the state ana
nation. The excellence Of his public
service and the cause of corporate hos

shown and explained by his efforts on

clause of the interstate commerce act.
His consistent course OF action In
union with the progressive members

manly fight on Canadian reciprocity
as attempted by the unfair plan re-
Gently proposed, are entitled to the
highest commentator, and we believe
1t to be to the best interests of the state
of Montana and the country at large
that he be returned to the United

pie and scope than the activities Of
