remember selling some of these weed
ers that had been IN use 16 or IT
years. They always outsel1 any other
weeders put up at sale. In one or
two instances they sold for more than
the original price of the machine. I
have heard many farmers talk about
this tool, and all are enthusiastic in
praising its good qualities. 1t GER

BROWN AND GREEN

One summer day, when things were
getting pretty dry for want of rain,
farmer Brown and farmer Green were
talking about their corn.
Farmer Brown says to farmer
Green: ssSay, Green, why is your corn
looking 50 fresh and green, when
mine is all dried up and brown?"
Then farmer Green looked some
what troubled and replied, 81 don't
like to tell
''Why don't you like to tell?'' said
farmer Brown
s'Wen sir,' said farmer Green, 81
borrowed one of them knife weeders
for that field of corn, and that's why
it stayed so green; but I don't like
that Teller at Hill City that makes
them weeders, and don't want to say
anything that will help him a darn
Bit
What did he do?" said farmer
Brown.
ssWell SIR said Green, 81 bought a
pillow of him two or three years ago,
and he asked me to pay for it the
other day
ssThat was certainly very mean
trick" said Brown; but I think I'll
buy one of them weeders next spring =
Say" says Green, when you bring
yourn out, just bring out another one
for me, will you?''
sYou bet I WILL" said Brown, but
you give me your check first, amt
going to be mean to you like that
other feIler''
And that's how these two neighbors
bought knife weeders for their corn
fields These men will remain
Brown and "Green'' for a lifetime,
but their corn fields will not.

ALWAYS INCREASING THE
YIELD

Hill City, Kan, May 5, 1916.
l began using the Adjustable Knife
Weeder about twelve years ago, and
know it always increased the yield
from two to four bushels per acre,
when used first time over. You can
get over the ground faster with the
knife weeder than any other machine,
as it pulls lighter, easier to adjust, no
oiling to bother with and quicker
about turning. It leaves the ground
in fine shape to save moisture and to
take rain A heavy rain storm will
not damage the field much after the
knife weeder, as it leaves the ground
in the best of condition to prevent
washing

HEAVY WEEDS AND TRASH
Hill City, KAN. ~

Hill City, Kan, May IL, 1916
One year ago listed so acres to
corn late in the season The ground
was very trashy with a heavy growth
of old dead weeds There was also a
heavy growth of green weeds from
one to two feet high The lister
would not cover up these weeds in the
center of the ridge Wet weather
came on, and that streak of weeds
grew up as high as the horses sides,
and some of them an inch thick, be-
fore I could get into the field They
were principally lambs quarter, a
weed that is very hard and tough I
went into that field with the Adjust
able Knife Weeder and got every
weed, cutting through the trash,
weeds and all Four ponies will han
die the two-row machines all right,
the draft being lighter than other
weeders- The knives are SO easily adj
justed that they can be kept properly
set all the time to do the best work,
and to pull light on the team.

cENTERING ATTACHMENT

The centering attachment on the
two-row knife weeder keeps the driv-
er's weight exactly midway between
the two sleds all the time, and yet
does not interfere with the sfgive and
take" of the s1eds in following crook
ed or uneven rows. Other weeders
have been equipped with similar at
tachments, but the knife weeder has
the simplest and most effective CEN
tering attachment yet produced This
equipment is furnished as an extra
on the two-row machine.

1T DOES FINE WORK

Hill City, Kan, April 20, 1916.
I bought one of the two-row Adjust
able Knife Weeders one year ago and
cultivated 12O acres with it. My
neighbor borrowed it, when I got
through, and that made total of over
200 acres The machine does fine
work, leaving the row and the ridge
in better shape than any tool I ever
saw. It is the only machine that will
clean a weedy field, and it can't be
beat for the first time over, whether
the field is weedy OF not.

ALL RIGHT ON TRASHY GROUND

Hill City, Kan, May IL, 1916
My Adjustable Knife Weeder has
given me the best of satisfaction 1t
was used on about 60 acres one year
ago. It works all right in trashy
ground because you can set the knives
at any angle you want to and make
them stay where you put them. The
long knives will reach across the ridge
and the short knives will put some
dirt to the corn if they are adjusted
properly. 1t is a fine moisture saver,
leaving loose dirt mulch on the
ground and breaking the capillary at
traction l intend to use my machine
this spring before the corn comes up.
It will save the moisture, kill the
weeds that are starting the ridge,
and cover up the little weeds that are
starting in the row. If the weeds
should grow up rank on the shoulder
and ridge, before you can get into the
field, this machine will get them just
the same

DOUBLE LEVER CONTROL

This attachment, sold as an extra
on two-row knife weeders, will keep
the drivers weight midway between
the two sleds, or the driver may, at
will, shift his weight to either sled.
Very useful on side-hiH work Use
full where one row has heavier weeds
than the other. Useful in dislodging
trash from the knives Useful in
turning around, as the levers will pull
the sleds together or push them apart,
to fit the rows on starting in.

HI D. Clayton,
Hill City, Kansas.
Dear Sir:@Answering yours of
May Is regarding your 9 Adjustable
Knife Weeder-',
The two double-row machines
bought of you Last year W0rked 800
acres of corn once over ind about 60
acres second time over
We got the very best of satisfaction
out of them. both in real results and
the wide and easy range of adjust
ments, which came in handy to adapt
it to the varied conditions of last
year.
1t is doubtful if we could have
worked the above acreage, in time, IN
any other way; as we had to wait two
weeks for the corn to recover from
the hail storm of July 3rd, before the
corn could be worked without covering
it up, and of course the weeds were
busy.
1t is almost unbelievable that we
raised any corn at all, after it was
completely cut down by the hail; but
we raised 80 bushels to the acre on an
average, or a total of 5000 bushels,
and your weeders played a big part in
| the work. This year we have increased
the acreage to $50 acres, because the
Adjustable Knife Weeders are so easy
and efficient in getting over lot of
ground
Yours truly,
OLIVER MUNSON.

A KNOWN FACT

Every farmer knows that a set of
knives on a pair of runners is the
right thing for the first time over on
all listed crops. He sometimes makes
one himself, and sometimes he gets
a blacksmith to make it for him.
These homemade machines are good,
if rightly made, but they are all more
or less clumsy, and always hard to
keep in proper adjustment. The new
improved knife weeder has numerous
adjustable features that make it
quickly adaptable to all sorts of con-
ditions, and is SO substantially and
rigidIy made that the adjustments
will stay where you put them, and
the machine will stand up to the hard
est kind of work for years after all
other kinds have gone to pieces.

CUTS BIG NEEDS

Hill City, Kan, April 10, 1916
My adjustable Knife Weeder clean
ed up 70 acres of corn for me last
year. The long knives reached clear
across the ridge and cut the growth
of big lambsquarter, the toughest
weed that grows. The job was too
much for any other machine but the
Knife Weeder did the business

JACOB HESS.

The 3-row Knife Weeder is made
for 4 horses and also for six horses.
Use six if you want the long knives
to cut clear through the ridge Four
is all right for cutting the shoulder
only, and you can tear the rest of the
ridge up with the harrow. This makes
a good job If there are no big weeds
in the center of the ridge

machine for the first time. AS a weed
killer it does perfect work
