All residents ot this place who
were here March 23d, 1897, have good
reason to remember that exciting
morning twelve years ago, because
most of the south side of Caual street
went up in flames. The wooden
structures made a warm fire.

The Early Purchaser
of Farm Machinery never loses anything on account of “getting into the game” early, because he has a chance to take his pick
from a large stock, gets just as low a price as he could obtain later, and has the satisfaction of knowing that he has just what he
wants &nd that it will be ready for business just when he needs it. No risk of having to wait for something to be ordered or ship
ped at the time when he is all ready to use it. Time is money. NOW is the right time to be securing certain lines of machinery and
implements for the spring season, and we have the goods ready to show and deliver to you.

BLUE BELL
Cream Separators
\
THERE are many kinds of Cream
Separators on the market. Some of
them are better than others. One of the
best, if not best of them all, is the BLUE
BELL, which has many points of advan
tage over others. Among these advan
tages may be mentioned:
1 The low supply can. The top of the
Blue Bell supply can goes only to the waist
of the operator which makes it easy to lift
the milk to the can and allows an ordinary
10-gallon milk can to be set underneath
the spouts. Every woman will appreciate
this feature.
2 Convenient location of the crank shaft,
minimizing the work of operating. The
operator can stand in a natural, easy posi
tion, which does away with the hack ache
occasioned in stooping over machines with
low crank shaft. The skim milk can sets
underneath the supply can and the cream
pail in front of the skim milk can, both on
the left hand side of the machine.
3 Co-operative separation. The patented
construction of the Blue Bell Cream Har
vester Bowl insures maximum efficiency.
!t is the only disk bowl on the market
which has co-operative separation between
the disk and the milk feeding shaft.

The advantages of using a separator are
too well understood by every dairyman to
require mention here. We would like to
have you see the Blue Bell and be con
vinced that it has no superior on the mar
ket.

Corn Planters -■*
w “■ w it necessary this spring
to buy a new corn planter. We take pleasure in calling your atten
tion to this year’s features in the planter line. We have the best
things manufactured by the J. I. Case, and Moline Compan
ies. The new Case power-drive planter is far ahead of anything
that company has ever put out and we can highly recommend it.
“ Half the Crop is in the Drop ” is an old and true saying. This year’s
Case planter has a device by which the number of kernels to be dropp
ed in a hill can be regulated at will by the operator, changing instant
ly from four to three, from three to two, or back again, or can be
set to drop 2,3, or 4 kernels alternately, and to do this it is not nec
essary to change any plates, or stop the team, nor even for the opera
tor to change his position in the seat. All he has to do is to shift a
small lever, in convenient reach, from one numbered notch to another.
Come in and let us show you how they work. They also have gauge
wheels to control the depth of planting where the ground is soft, thus
insuring all of the corn coming up at the same time. We can fur
nish these to attach to your old planter, if desired.
MANURE SPREADERS
Scientific tests show that barnyard manure contains from $2 to $7 worth
of plant food element per ton, and- if through the present practices 50 per
cent, of this value is wasted, it is evident that any machine which
will save all the plant food will soon pay for itself. That a spreader will
save every dollar’s worth of plant food in the manure cannot be questioned.
Allowing manure to stand in the pile means a loss of a large per cent, of
plant food. Spreading by hand means the loss of another large per cent.
When a spreader is used it requires but a few moments to hitch up the
team, drive into the field and spread the load.
There is no waste in the barnyard; there is no waste in the field be
cause the manure thrown from the machine is finely pulverized and spread
evenly over the soil so that a particle of the manure comes in contact with
every particle of soil. Tne first rain washes all of the plant food into the
soil. There is no over-feeding one part and under-feeding another; there
is no fermentation and decomposition which allows nitrogen to pass into
the air.
