Scientists and experiment stations have determined that the value of manitf is from $8 to $10 per animal. Ordinarilv half of this is lost through absorbtio- in the barnyard and through improper spreading with a fork. Save this by using a New Idea Spreader and you'll save $300 to $400 a year even on t eu acre larm more on a larger place. That'p why you should increase your profits by spreading with the Registered iU.5.Pat.0ff, , Spreads 7 Feet Across 3 Corn Rows The wide spreading New Idea saves you half a mile of travel per acre. It spreads bcyoi; 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 per acre merely by pushing a lever. , , The double cylinder's and distributor take two whacks at the manure. Every parftc f oes onto the ground none left to freeze or rot. There is no danger of clogging so the Yy dea can be loaded as high as the ordinary wagon box. Strong chain; conveyor brings L, manure unfailingly to cylinders. Cannot slip from under load and will not race going up v Chain drive no gears to freeze, break or strip. Power to conveyor and spreader ni anism is derived direct from rear axle no side strain or lost power. i t.
