The old days nrc past wliun the fanner tnisti-d to
blind luck in making his selection of the tools or imple
ments he used in his fanning operations. The modern
fanner is up-to-date and knows what methods and ma
chinery bhonld be us d in producing the maximum of
results.
Upon the tool or implement used depi nds a great of
the results obtained. Perhaps a good workman with a
poor tool can do a better jb than a poor workman with
a good tool, but the good workman and the good tool are
a combination that cannot be but. We have secured the
agency ol several new tools antl implements tins spring
that conform strictly with np-to-datv method. Among these, and at this time of
the year, the manure spreader and the surface packer are perhaps the two pieces
of machinery most in demand. We carry the "KOUINSON" spreader, the spread
er that is the easiest to load, (because lowest down), the easiest draft, (because it
is same track as a wagon), and the widest and evenest spread, (because it is equip
ped with a two piece beater that thoroughly pulver
izes the manure and spreads as heavy on the sides as
in the center and makes it unnecessary to drive back
in the same track so as to make it lap. In the sur
face packer we carry the " WESTERN LAND ROL
LER," unique, because it will not clog as so many
of them will, but packs the subsoil and leaves a
mulch of loose dirt on top The importance of using
a surface packer on wheat in the spring has been ful
ly demonstrated by the experiment stations and farm
ers alike, results showing that the yield has been in-'
creased 5 to 8 bushels per acre.
WE have samples on our floor of the lines we
carry and our salesmen will be glad to explain them.
