All farmers know the value of keeping up the strength and fertility cf the land. And especially is this of prime importance now on account 01 the high prices to -vs-hich land has climbed. With land selling at $3C0.00 to $400.00 an acre no one can atford, through neglect, to lcr;e from five to ten bushels of grain per acre, when by protecting or renewing their land with a covering of straw or manure they could avoid it. The "One Man Straw and Manure Spreader" will solve the problem. See the machine and get full information re garding its work and possibilities for renewing and keeping up the fertility of the soil.
