Shoes Shoes As you all know, shoes are advancing in price, but we are glad to say that we are still able to sell a great many shoes at old prices. As long as we have them at the old prices we will sell this way, so we think it will be to your advantage to buy early. Wire and Wire Nails. We bought a carload of wire and wire nails last October which did not reach us until the 10th of January; and it was lucky that we did buy early, for the wholesale price has made several advances since that time. We are now offering wire fence to you at prices we would have to pay, if we were buying now. As long as this lot lasts you will get it at Jan uary prices. Come end See Us.

Scientists and experiment stations have determined that the value of manure is from $8 to $ 1 0 per animal. Ordinarily half of this is lost through absorbtiofl in the barnyard and through improper spreading with a fork. Save this hall by using a New Idea Spreader and you'll save $300 to $400 a year even on an 80 acre farmmore on a larger place. That'? why you should increase your profits by spreading with the li i Registered iiu.5Pat.0ff. Spreads 7 Feet Across 3 Corn Rows The wide spreading New Idea saves you half a mile of travel per acre. It spreads beyond the wagon tracks and you don't have to drive over the spread manure. It spreads uniformly and the spread can be varied 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18 loads per acre merely by pushing a lever. , The double cylinders and distributor take two whacks at the manure. Every Par'lC f oes onto the ground none left to freeze or rot There is no danger of clogging so the Ne dea can be loaded as high as the ordinary wagon box. Strong chain conveyor brings tM manure unfailingly to cylinders. Cannot slip from under load and will not race going up nL ' Chain drive no gears to freeze, break or strip.
