Live Stock vs, Crops
Feeding crops is much like
feeding live stock. The farmer
who feeds his crops heavily of
the right kind of plantfood will
have the largest crops of the best
quality. Our showmen know
that if the baby flesh is once lost
from the calf, pig or colt, it is
an expensive process to get it
back and the young stock never
mature into such Bplendid animals
as they would have done had
they been kept growing from the
start Plenty of feed gives the
calf a quick sure start. An ab
undance of the right kind of
plantfood gives the plants a run
ning start, enables them to keep
ahead of the weeds, helps them
to resist disease and to mature
their crops, easily. These are all
important but the one that we
often lose sight of is the first,
namely, giving the crops quick
start. The man who sees that
his soils and crops are well sup
plied with the right kind of plant
food will have the earliest, best
matured crops of highest quality.
About noon Monday of last
week, the roof of Howard Zim
merman's dwelling house in Han
cock was discovered to be on fire
and the wind was blowing a reg
ular gale. It was with much
difficulty that the firemen saved
the building. The damage, which
is covered by insurance is about
$400. It was supposed the fire
originated from a spark from a
locomotive on the We3tern Mary
land railway.

Pays for Itself in Better Crops
Even if you have only a small farm the New Idea Sprcadc:
will make you enough money to pay for itself and give you s
profit besides.
Scientists and experiment stations have determined that the value of manure
is from $8 to $10 per animal. Ordinarily half of this is lost through absorb
in the barnyard and through improper spreading with a fork. Save this hi
by using a New Idea Spreader' and you'll save $300 to $400 a year even on t
eu acre iarm more on a larger place.
That'? why you should increase your profits by spreading with the
LI 1 Registered JJu.Pat.Oft
Spreads 7 Feet Across 3 Corn Rows
The wide spreading New idea saves you half a mile of travel peP acre. It spreads bcydt
. the wagon tracks and you don't have to drive over the spread manure. It spreads uniform''
and the spread can be varied 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 loads rJer acre merely by pushing: a lever. , ,
The double cylinders and distributor take two whacks at the manuro. Rvprv cartiC'1
goes onto the ground none left to freeze or rot ' There is no danger of clogging so the iV
Idea can be loaded as high as the ordinary wagon box. Strong chain conveyor brings tJ.;
manure unfailingly to cylinders. Cannot slip from under load and will not race going up n':
nam drive no gears to treeze, DreaK or strip, rower to conveyor and spreader um
onJcm io HorivoH lirort frnm fiwir ivtnnrt cirln ctMin rr rot nnwrnr
The New Idea is made by spreader specialists with more than 16 years experience, v
have the confidence to back their machine with a 1 year guarantee on workmanship
material. We unhesitatingly recommend it
See This Spreader
Let us show you how it works and you'll understand why we're
so enthusiastic about the New Idea. It costs you nothing to inves
tigate and you will not be urged to buy against your wUl.
Special Book FREE
When you come In be sure you ask for a free copy of "Helping: Mother
Nature" the special book which has been prepared by the manufacturers. This
is not a calaloar. but is a book of Information on the proper way to spread man
ure to get the best results. This book is really worth money, but we'll give
you a copy free if you'll call at the store.
