Poole’s Spring 1921 Catalog

To Our Old Customers and to Those New Customers:

We extend a personal message of thanks for, and we must express our continue<l appreciation of, the confidence placed m this organization since its inception and foun- dation nearly thirty years ago, by its founder, Frank S. Poole.

And with the thought of thi& well-earned confidence, so valuable to us, in mind, we, the sons of that founder who so merited your confidence, bespeak for ourselves the continued expression of your good will and trust.

WE ASSURE YOU:

That we are proud of our ability to meet the demands upon us in this line of en- deavor, and that we can so conduct this business that it will reflect the confidence and trust that you repose in it.

We aim to, and do, stand squarely on our efforts to bring to this service, merchan- dise of the best quality obtainable in today’s markets. A fair price for every article, based on the cost of same article plus a reasonable and necessary charge for the service rendered in maintaining this business. And in connection with this, we most emphati- cally state that all our merchandise is priced on this basis, and at no time will this house lend its support to any combination or attempt to combine to enforce arbitrary prices on any combined basis.

NOW A WORD ABOUT SEEDS

Our long experience in the handling, growing, and sale of “SEEDS” has convinced us that it is only by long service of this character that we can hope to become compe- tent to recommend to our customers the varieties and qualities necessary for their requirements. This training has been invaluable in detecting the difference between “SEEDS” that are just seeds and “SEEDS THAT GROW” to make you a rich return for every kernel planted.

While every precaution gained from our long experience, including the testing before hand for germination, and the buying only from those growers and distributors who are reliable, we in common with other responsible seed houses, sell our goods subject to the following disclaimer, it being that adopted by the American Seed Association, i. e.:

“We sell no seeds with warranty, expressed or implied, in any respect, and will not be in any way responsible for the crop. If the purchaser does not accept the seeds on these terms they must be returned at once.”

We invite you to use the enclosed order blank, which is for your convenience, and we would ask that your specifications and orders be submitted to us as early as possible, so that we may give them our best consideration, and that you may not be disappointed in the fulfilling of your requirements.

YOURS FOR BETTER SERVICE,

Poole’s Seed & Implement Co.

When and How to Order

USE ORDER BLANK in the front of your Catalog, carefully filling out the blank spaces at the top for shipping directions. Be sure to’sign your name.

PRICES. — The prices named in this catalog are those prevailing at the time the catalog goes to press and are subject to market changes in value. Your order will be figured at the price prevailing at the time same is received and where lower you will be protected and refund made according to price. As prices usually advance on many items, toward the planting season, it will be to your advantage to order early.

OUR TERMS ARE STRICTLY CASH WITH ORDER where arrangements for credit have not been previously made.

Send MONEY by Postcffice or Express Money Order, Bank Draft or Registered Letter. Postage stamps wiQ be accepted fer small amounts. Money sent in any other way is entirely at sender’s risk.

NOTE CAREFULLY that seeds in packets, ounces and quarter pounds are postpaid; all other items are F. O. B. Tacoma, Wash., unless the price is stated otherwise, and money should be sent to cover transportation if sent to a station without an agent or if sent parcel post, balances will be promptly returned. A compliance with this will save expense and annoyance and insure quicker deliveiy. Advise how you want your goods shipped.

SPECIAL QUOTATIONS ON LARGE ORDERS. Any dealer, market gardener, institu- tin or individual wishing seed in large quantities, is requested to mail us a list of what is wanted, and we will promptly return it with the very lowest market prices. A letter of inquiry may save you dollars if you want to buy in quantity. If in need of something pertaining to agriculture not herein listed, write us before ordering elsewhere.

EXPRESS AND FREIGHT. Seeds sent by freight or express means that we deliver the goods to the express or railway company. The purchaser pays all transportation charges on goods. On moderate sized orders we advise express shipment rather than freight. Upon delivery of goods to transportation company, a sale is completed. In event of loss or damage to goods in transit the purchaser must have notation of such loss placed upon his receipt, and maj- then file claim for loss at his station, or may send the necessary papers to us v/hen we shall gladly enter claim for him, remitting to him as soon as the claim is paid. Remember that our responsibility ceases on delivery in good order to the transportation company, and it is therefore imperative that every purchase be carefully examined for loss or damage before receiving it.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE REPLACEMENT OF GOODS SENT BY MAIL. An addi- tional remittance of five cents will insure any mail package.

PREPAY STATIONS. When you send in orders to go by freight or express be sure that you add money enough to pay freight charges if your station is a prepay point, which is always the case where there is no regular agent.

COMPLAINTS OR PRAISES. If you are well pleased with our goods and the manner of doing business, tell everyone. If you are not, tell us, so we can please you. Our best efforts will be put forth in filling all orders carefully and promptly in a way that will please you.

KEEP A COPY Cr YOUR ORDER. Check goods when received. We use the greatest care in filling, checking and packing o:^ders, but in spite of all, mistakes may occur. Should any happen in your order, advise us promptly, giving order number, and same will be promptly rectified. Do not ret urn goods until you hear from us.

PRICES — In these days of advancing prices, it is with pleasure that we call your attention to our pre-war prices on our seed packet goods. This is not done by lessening the size of the packet nor of reducing the quality of the seeds, for we use none but the best seeds in our packets. Our seeds are all tested for purity and germination and only those seeds that are above the standard are used. Our seeds are not sold on commission, there- fore we do not have a quantity of unsold seeds returned to us or carried over. Packets are put up fresh each season and you can make no mistake in using POOLE'S Quality Seed.

VEGETABLE SEEDS

We catalogue only the very best varieties of both the newer and the older strains, those that are especially adapted to the peculiar conditions on the Pacific Coast,

ASPARAGUS

Culture — Sow the seed thinly in rows 1 foot apart in April or May ( 4 or 5 lbs. to the acre), and keep down all weeds. To secure strong, healthy plants, thin the seedlings to 3 or 4 inches in the rows, saving only the strongest. The one-year-old plants should be set out in spring in rich, sandy loam, dug 18 inches deep, into which has been worked plenty of well-rotted manure. If a stift clay is all that can be had, add plenty of sand and sifted coal- ashes to loosen it up, and see that it is well under drained. In planting for private use, set out in beds 5 feet wide, three rows in a bed, the outer being each 1 foot from the edge, and allow 18 inches between the rows; set the plants from 4 to 6 inches below the surface. If set out in autumn, top-dress with 6 inches of manure. For market, on a large scale, set out 4 by 1% feet. Every fall apply a good dressing of coarse manure, after the tops have been cut, and in spring fork in. Never cut too closely. The roots need the benefit of some foliage during the year, else they will weaken and die. Slugs are easily destroyed by apply- ing air-slaked lime or paris green. Asparagnis from seed does not always come true to name.

Colossal — The approved standard sort. The famous Argenteuil of the French is identical with it. Oz., 10c; ^-Ib., 30c; lb., $1.00.

Palmetto — Of southern origin; a very desirable, bright green Asparagus. Oz., 10c; 30c; lb., $1.00.

Columbian Mammoth — Very large shoots. Oz., 10c; ^4-lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

All 5 cents per packet.

Palmetto — 2-year-old roots. Doz., 20c; 100, $1.00.

BEANS

DWARP OR BUSH— YELLOW PODDED When ordering' Beans by mail, add 10c per pound to cover postage.

CULTURE — About the first of May, if the ground is perfectly warm, select a warm, dry, sheltered spot, dig and manure slightly; make drills 2 inches deep and 18 inches to 2 feet epart; drop the beans 3 inches apart in the drills, .and cover not more than 2 inches deep. Hoe well in dry weather to keep down the weeds Sow every two weeks for a succession. One uaart to 100 feet of drill; one bushel to the acre, in drills.

Improved Crolden Wax — One of the most popular garden varieties in cultivation. Pods are long, nearly straight, broad and flat, and golden-yellow; seed white, more or less covered with two shades of purplish red. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

Wardwell’s Kidney Wax — A hardy, strong- growing vine; handsome, long podded vari- ety. A few days later than Golden Wax; pods long, golden-yellow, brittle and en- tirely stringless; seeds white, with dark markings about the eye. Market gordeners find this bean one of the most profitable. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

Prolific Black Wax — An improvement on the old Black Wax or Butter Bean. Very vigorous and prolific; pods fairly long, golden-yellow, very brittle, and stringless; seed black. Pkt., 15c; lb., 3Cc; 10 lbs., $2.50.

Da-vis Kidney Wax — The most hardy and productive wax bean. The pods are long, white, straight, crisp and tender. The vine is rustless and very vigorous, bearing the pods in clusters. For canning this is un- excelled on account of purity of the pod and bean. It is a remarkably good variety for shipping; seed white, and on this account is desiiable for a shelled bean in winter. Pkt., 15c; lb. 30c; 10 lbs., $2.50.

Dwarf Horticultural, or “Cranberry Bean” —

Refug-ee, or Thousand to One — Of great value on account of its hardiness, vigorous growth and wonderful productiveness.

Pods of per- fect form, dark green; veined purple. Pkt., 15c; lb., 30c; 10 lbs. $2.50.

String’less Green Pod

Dutch Case Knife — A little later. Has large, green, flat pods; good for “snap” or shelled green. The large Lima beans are too late for our climate, and the Dutch Case Knife is the nearest ap- proach to them of any here. Pkt., 15c; lb., 35c; 10 lbs., $3.00.

Scarlet Runner — Especially used as a flowering bean. Pkt., 15c; lb., 35c.

CABBAGE

CITIiTUliE — The requisites for com- plete success are; First — Good seed. There is no other vegetable where the seed has so much influence on the qual- ity of the product, and gardeners should always use the best procurable. Second — Rich, well prepared ground. Third — Fre- quent and thorough cultivation. A heavy moist and rich loam is most suitable, which should be high- ly manured and work- ed deeply. Cabbage is universally grown and speciflc direc- tions regarding the time and method of planting applicable to all localities can- not be given. In gen- eral, the early sorts should be sown very early in hot beds, hardened off by grad- ually exposing to out- side air, and as early as ciic ground is in good condition, trans- planted. setting 1.8 to 36 inches apart, according to size of variety. The late Autumn and Winter varieties may be

sown from the middle to the last of Spring and transplanted when four to six inches high. Shade and water the late sowings in dry weather to get them up.

Early Jersey Wakefield — The earliest and hard- est heading of first early cabbages. Most ga,r- deners depend upon it for the bulk of their extra eai’ly crop. Its exceeding hardiness not only to resist cold but other unfavorable conditions, in- sures the greatest likelihood of profitable and satisfactory results.

Our stock is grown and selected with the great- est care; there is none better, and few as good. Head conical, very compact, solid and of excel- lent quality. The thick, stout leaves and com- pact habit of the variety make it the best sort for very earlj^ setting. Highest quality seed. Fkt., 10c; oz., 50c; Yi-lh., $1.50; lb., $5.00.

Copenhagen Market — A new extra early globe- shaped Cabbage slightly flattened. The large solid heads are very uniform, with few other leaves, keeps well and stands handling. Copen- hagen Market originated in Denmark, where it is the favorite market variety, and we recommend it to our customers as the best early round head. Gardeners should give it a trial. Our stock is direct from the originator. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; Vi-llo., $1.50; lb., $5.00.

Early Winnigstadt — A desirable variety, having- conical, solid heads; a sure header under almost any condition, and keeps better than most early vai’ieties. Fine appearance and of excellent qual- ity. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; 14-lb., $1.50; lb., $5.00.

CARROTS

CULTUBB — A sandy loam is the best soil for the carrot, but any good land if thor- oughly and deeply worked, will produce satisfactory ci'ops. Sow as early iir the Spring as the ground is fit to work, though good crops mtiy be grown as late as June 15. For ta.b]e use, sow the si-nallei- kinds in rows 1 fJ to 18 inches apart, and for field culture prepare the ground thoroughly and sow in drills 18 to 24 inches apart. Cover one-half to one inch deep and see to it that the soil is well firmed above the seed.

Orang’e, Improved Dong' — Popular- for I'ar-r-n use on deep, mellow soil. Our stock is an improvement obtained by years of careful selection of the best formed and deepest colored roots, which grow to a large size, seme specimens averaging twelve inches in length. Enormous crops can be grown under fair culture; one of the best \'ar'ieties for feeding stock. Pkt., 5c; oz., lOc; 1/4 -lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

Danver’s Half Dong'--Grown largely on ac- count of its productiveness and adaptability to all classes of soil. Tops, medium sized, coarsely divided.

Cliantenay — The market gardener’s favor- ite. Tops, medium sized; necks, small; roots, tapering slightly, but uniformly stump-rooted and smooth; color, deep or- ange red; flesh, very crisp and tender. Al- though this is a medium early sort, it fur- nishes roots of usable size as early as any; is a heavy cropper, and is undoubtedly one of the best for both the market and pri- vate garden, while its great productiveness makes it very desirable as a field sort. Pkt., 5c; oz., lOc; i/4-lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.

YELLOW GIANT, Specially Adapted to Moist, Heavy Soils — This new carrot orig- inated at the Sydney, Australia, Experi- mental Station, and has proved itself to be the earliest and most productive stock car- rot offered to date. It is a half long variety, with an immense broad shoulder. The car- rot penetrates less than one-half the depth into the ground, which saves about one-half the expense of harvesting the crop. The color is bright yellow, and is perfection it- self for giving the proper color to butter. Every dairyman who wants a big crop of carrots of the right quality and easy of culture should plant our Yellow Giant. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Vi-lh., 30c; lb., $1.00

CAULIFLOWER

CUIiTURZ: — The same as for cabbage, except that extra manure and plenty of water will pay upon cauli- flower. If the soil be dry, water frequently, and, if the plants have a heavy mulch of hay or straw, it will keep the soil moist, and tbey will not suffer from drougnt.

The early kind should be strong enough to plant out not laTer than the middle of April; the late kinds may be planted out the same time as cabbage.

Early Snowball — This va- riety is much in de- mand by ma, ket gar- deners for main C7op.

CELERY

CULTURE — Sow the seed early, about February, in a hot-bed or cold frame. When three inches high, transplant, setting them four inches apart. When grown six inches, and fine, stocky plants, set in richly m.a- nured, deep soil, in rows three and a half feet apart and about nine inches from plant to plant. Water if dry weather follows transplanting. During the next two months all the attention that is required is to keen down the weeds. Blanch by placing boards along the rows, or earth up a little, and continue doing so at intervals until only the tops of the leaves are visible late in Autumn. Never hoe up the earth when plants are wet. One ounce of seed produces about six thousand plants.

White Plume, the Leading White Celery

—A handsome, crisp sort, of very easy cultivation. Natuially its stalks and por- tions of its inner leax es and heart are white, so that by closing the stalks either by tying or by simply drawing the soil ujj against the plant and pressing it together, the work of blanching is completed without the troublesome process of "banking” or "earthing up.” It is the earliest celery known. Pkt., 5c; oz., 25c; ^-Ib., 75c; lb., $2.50.

SWEET CORN

CUIiTURE — Corn should not be planted until the ground is warm, as the seed will rot in cold damp soil, or if planted too deep. Late April is early enough for the first plantings and for succession plant every two weeks through May and June. Cover the first planting very lightly, increasing the depth a little for the later plantings. For the Dwarf Early varieties, rows should be three feet apa.rt; for later large varieties, four feet, and the hills two to three feet in the rows.

Sweet or Sugar varieties are used botli for table and stock feeding, some of the large later sorts being preferred for silos and fodder.

Field Varieties are grown for fodder and for ensilage in the Pacific Northwest more than for grain, but of recent years im- proved early varieties have given good re- sults and splendid crops are reported from many sections where it was thought corn could not be grown.

CUCUMBERS

CULTURE — Cucumbers need a warm, rich soil, and should not be planted in open g-round until the weather is settled, as otherwise they will not thrive. Plant in hills four feet apart each way, thinning to three or four of the strongest plants, after danger from insects is passed.

Swedish Select

A SPI.ENDID VARIETY; UNEQUAI.Z.ED IN QUALITY

Swedish Select has long- been popular, and a splendid variety for Puget Sound country. It yields very heavy crops, makes a very sturdy growth; the straw is of medium height and is extra large, making it less liable to lodge than any other variety. In quality it is by far the best of any oat that we have tested. It has a large spreading head, and the grain is large, plump, and very heavy. It is one of the very earliest varieties, and on ac- count of its exceptionally hne quality and heavy yield is probably the most valuable variety grown in the great oat growing sections in Washington. Price per lb., 5c; Write for Prices in Quantities.

GRAY WINTER

This Oat is planted extensively through- out the Northwest as a Fall or Winter Oat. Is well and favorably known, being a good yielder, and the Oats are large and plump. Write for Prices.

BEARDLESS BARLEY

Beardless — The earliest barley known. The straw is about the height of the Com- mon Barley, but better, and will stand up on any land; with good season and land, has produced 80 bushels per acre. Sow as early as you can; frost does not hurt it. Many farmers will not grow Bai-ley on account of the long, harsh beards which are so disagreeable in threshing, although it is a profitable crop. This is beardless, and as easy to grow and handle as oats. It is becoming more popular each season. Per lb., Write for Prices in Quantities.

White Hulless, or Bald Barley — A grand barley for stock feeding. Grain plump, heavy and when threshed is hulless, like wheat. A heavy cropper. When grown and cut for hay it produces a magnificent fodder, which is very rich and almost equal to a grain feed. Much relished by horses and stock of all kinds. An excel- lent hog feed. Per lb., 7c; Write for Prices in Quantities.

Field Peas — Field Peas are a very profit- able crop and are grown here very exten- sively. They can be grown alone or with oats. When planted with grain and cut green they make a large amount of very rich feed; also very valuable for enriching the soil if plowed under. The dry peas make excellent hogfeed and are quite fat- tening. Sow, if alone, 120 pounds to the acre; if with other grain, 60 pounds.

Yellow Canadian — These small, round, smooth yellow peas are the most generally grown field peas for stock food, and great quantities are also used for human con- sumption. Per lb., 8c; Write for Prices in Quantities.

WHEAT

BLUE STEM — Spring

The best known and one of the most profitable Spring varieties for the North- west. Heads are large and well-filled, stools freely. Grain very hard. Although a Spring variety, can be planted as a Fall Wheat in sections where Winters are mild. The Blue Stem of the Pacific Coast has a white grain and smooth chaff, quite unlike the Velvet Chaff and Red grains of the states East of the Rockies. Better results are had with this Wheat East of the Cas- cade Mountains, as it fas a tendency to lodge in the moist sections on the Coast. Price lb., 5c; Write for Prices in Quan- -ti-ties.

RED RUSSIAN — Winter

This is extensively grown in Western Washington, where conditions are favor- able. It grows vigorously, maturing late, and gives a heavy yield of both grain and foliage. It is a superior variety for chok- ing out weeds, growing close and luxur- iantly. Price lb., 5c; Write for Prices in Quantities.

VETCHES OR TARES Greatest Forage Plant

Common, or Spring (Vicia Sativa) — One of the best forage plants that can be grown on the Pacific Coast. Often called Fall Vetches. This is a species of the pea, and is grown very extensively. It furnishes an abundance of excellent feed, either green or cut and cured for hay. The seed should be mixed with an equal weight of some variety of wheat, oats or rye hav- ing a stiff straw, and the mixture sown at the rate of two bushels per acre. Vetches weigh 70 pounds per bushel. Sow in the Fall or early Spring. Per lb., 10c; 100 lbs., $9.00.

Sand, or Winter Vetches (Cicia Villosa) — This variety thrives on poor, arid, sandy soils. It is sown either in the Fall or early Spring, and is generally mixed with rye, which serves to support the plants. It grows to a height of three or four feet, and can be cut twice; first, as soon as the bloom appears, and afterward for seed. The- plant is perfectly hardy and makes a very nutritious food. Per lb., 30c; Write for Prices in Quantities.

Rape, Dwarf Essex — We offer you true, pure seed. One of the best forage plants, on account of the large amount of green feed it will produce at a season of the year when everything else is dried up. It has yielded ten tons of green forage per acre, and has twice the feeding value of green clover. Sheep, swine, cattle and poultry eat it readily. Rape will do well on almost any soil. Prepare the ground as for turnips, and sow any time from May till September; or plant it with grain. Sow, per acre, four pounds, in drills; or, if broadcast, eight pounds. Lb., 25c; 100 lbs., $16.00.

Speltz — It will grow well and produce immense crops on poor soil. Dry weather seems to have no bad effect on it. After the. grain is threshed out, the straw makes good hay. The grain has a hull, some- thing like barley. Sow in the Spring, the same as wheat, at the rate of two bushels per acre. Cut when the grain is past the middle stage of milk, when it will make

“POOLE’S QUALITY”

FLOWER SEEDS

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR CULTURE

Flowers generally succeed best in a sandy loam, made rich with well-rotted manure, which should be made flne and thoroughly mixed v/ith the soil. A soil thus prepared will remain moist and loose, so that flower seeds, which are generally small and delicate, will germinate and grow with vigor.

The mistake is often made of working the soil when too wet, so that in drying it bakes and cracks. The soil should always be dry enough to work up mellow, and crumble when struck with a spade.

If flne seed is to be planted, make the surface even with a piece of board; sow the seeds, and then carefully sift a little dirt over them, after which water with a watering-pot, having a flne nose. Shade from the hot sun until well up. Larger seeds should be planted deeper. A hotbed or cold frame is very convenient to start seeds in, as the temperature and moisture can be so regulated as to make their germination and rapid growth more certain. Most seeds do well if sown in boxes in a sunny window in the house. Plants are usually ready to be transplanted when they have made a growth of two inches. It is a very common mistake to let them stand so close together as to crowd each other. Give each plant plenty of room, according to its habit of growth.

All plants, and especially annuals, exhaust themselves in maturing seeds, consequently, to insure the health of the plant, and concentrate its full vigor in the continued produc- tion of an abundance of the finest blossoms, the flowers should all be taken from the stem when ’'1 full bloom, or at least as soon as the petals begin to wither or fail.

Many annuals, in warm climates, or when taken in or protected during the Winter become perennial, with, however, but short lives.

HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS

The Base Is Bone Meal and Tankagfe — No Cheap Filler. Every pound Is Good Fertilizer.

DIAMOND QUAIjITY Fertilizers are complete fertilizers of the highest grade and concen- tration, no inferior ingredients cr cheap fillers are used in their preparation. Bone Meal and Tankage forming the base to which is added the necessary Potash, Nitrogen and Phosphoric Acid. Each package is marked plainly, showing the percentage of available plant food.

Our fertilizers contain generous supplies of vital plant food. Being highly concentrated and readily available, small quantities only are needed for the production of the finest crops. TMEY AEE QUICK IN ACTION, KELIABEE AND ECONOMICAE.

FERTILIZING ELEMENTS

NITROGEN

Nitrogen is necessary for the production of plant life, and without it there can be no plant growth; it is a powerful stimulant, and, when present in excess, causes a rapid and excessive, but watery and unnatural growth, which is made at the expense of fruitfulness. Too much nitrogen on wheat shows its ill-effects in such a rank growth of the plant, and later, of straw, as to be unable to sustain its own weight until the grain is matured; on hops, by great growth of plant and but few blossom.s, which mature fewer burrs; on fruit trees by a rapid and sappy growth which produces little fruit.

Leguminous crops (such as clover, beans, peas, etc.) draw their supply of nitrogen principally from the air, and, therefore, an artificial application of nitrogen fertilizer to this class of plants is rarely needed.

PHOSPHORIC ACID

Phosphorus in the form of phosphoric acid is necessary for the healthy growth of plants, and is essential to the best production of straw and seed. Its deficiency in a soil is shown by the want of vigor in its plant life. To produce its full effect, however, it must be used

on a soil already rich in nitrogen, or to be associated with nitrogen in the fertilizer; other-

wise it will produce a tall, pale and spindling growth of straw with very small increase of grain or fruit. It has a marked effect in hastening maturity and should be used freely on all crops which should be ripened early and is especially useful for increasing all crops of seed grain.

Acid Phosphate contains lime, which is valuable on such soils as would be improved by

the use of land plaster, and if prepared from bone also contains nitrogen, which gives

it an additional value.

POTASH

Potash is found in greater or less quantity in all soils. It is essential to the develop- ment and growth of the plant. In combination with Nitrogen and Phosphoric Acid, Potash contributes to the full and perfect development of plants. Excess of Potash does not show any special effect on the plant, but a weakened growth, a lack of fruitfulness, and especially a slow and unsatisfactory development of starch and woody fiber, follows its deficiency in the soil.

LIME

Lime is not a direct fertilizer but improves the condition of swampy and peaty soils, which consists largely of organic matter and are consequently rich in nitrogen, but this nitrogen is unavailable, owing to the slow decay of the organic matter in some of these soils, so lime furnishes the conditions necessary for a more rapid decay. Such soils sometimes need phosphoric acid and potash as well as lime.

Lime also performs a valuable office in the sweetening of soils. When a soil betrays excess of acid, lime is needed. It also makes heavy clays light and more porous, and renders the plant food in them as well as in muck soil more available. Quick-lime, marl and ground oyster shells are the more common sources of lime. To produce the results above noted lime from stone or oyster shells is more effective.

A 100-Pound Bag of High Grade Commercial Fertilizer will contain more soluble afid available plant food than 4,000 pounds (two tons) of stable manure of average quality. How much easier and cleaner to handle one 100-pound bag than two tons of manure,, and there are im weed seeds to worry over. Always remember that the commercial value depends upon the available or soluble contents of a mixed fertilizer, and the price is govei’i'Cd' thereby. The figures giving the soluble, insoluble, totals, etc., unless understood, are often misleeding, apparently giving a greater percentage of the various elements . than are actually available.

NOTE — As Fertilizers are sold on a small margin, prices are subject to market changes, but you will always get FULL VALUE for your money.

INCUBATORS

PETALUMA ELECTSIC INCUBATORS

The Petaluma Co. were the first to introduce a real practical electric incubator. One that does not require an electrician to operate it. One that is simple enough for any person to understand. One that is unique in construction, safe, reliable, and using but a small amount of current. One that controls the heat perfectly and will not get out of order. One of very few parts and very simple mechanism, and will hatch anything that can be hatched. If you owned one you would not take five times its cost if you knew you could not obtain another like it.

The Petaluma Co. hatched chicks at the California State Fair in 1906, in electric incubators and have been operating them ever since, improving them from time to time so as to minimize the consump- tion of electric current, and therefore reduce the cost of operating them, their desire being to make a machine so perfect and so simple that no trouble could possibly arise. Patents which are very broad and specific, cover all the good things in 'electric incubators.

Petaluma Electric

Many of the largest and best Hatcheries in the World have been completely Electrified by them by converting the machines they have been using, into Electric Incubators, enabling them to hatch bigger, better and stronger chicks than they have ever been able to do previously. Early in the season of 1919-20, they converted in a few weeks sufficient machines in the big Hatcheries of Petaluma and else- where, to equal 1500 — 504-egg machines, with more to follow. This would not have been possible except that the Hatcherymen recognized that nothing in the world equaled the Petaluma Electrics. If these men of long years of experience in hatching are adopting these machines, it ought to be safe for you. No Hatcheryman will spend several thousand dollars in m.aking the change unless he is satisfied he is getting something superior to

anything he has previously had.

QUEEN HOT WATER INCUBATOR

The Queen is the only Incuba- tor that carries out the double redwood wall construction all around, and provides a double wall front, in the way of two separate doors. The outer door is a solid panel of Redwood that is hinged entirely independent of the inner door and is fastened with a sash lock that draws it tight, thus making the loss of heat impossible.

The inner door is also of red- wood construction, containing a panel of glass the full length and height of the egg chamber.

Redwood does not absorb the odor from the hatching eggs. Cheaper woods, and pasteboard lining in iron and tin machines, retain the odors, to weaken and kill the hatching chick.

Queen Incubators are not cheap, but they are cheap in the long run. They will be turning out good hatches years after the cheap machines have been junked.

The Queen System of hot water heating prevents the drying-out tendencies found in hot air incubators and provides a soft, uniform heat over every part of the egg chamber a heat that is most natural for the hatching eggs. The circulation of water through the radiator prevents any moisture being added or taken away from the eggs. When it be- con es necessary to remove the lamp, the hot water circulating through the radiator maintains an even heat within the egg chamber without the slightest variation.

BROODERS

Petaluma Electric Brooders

There is an old saying- that “every dog has his day” and this statement may apply, with some force, to Brooders. Interview various poultrymen and few will be found who are completely satisfied with their brooding system — Kerosene, Distillate, Gasoline, Gas and Coal have been only partially satisfactory. Many people have suffered heavy loss through using some of the above named fuels, and having done so, they and their friends readily turn their attention to that class of brooding where the fire risk is totally removed and also to that system giving the highest results at lowest cost and re- quiring the least amount of labor and care. The system that surmounts all the above named ob- jections and embodies the very essentials which all are looking for, is the Petaluma Electric Brooder Temperature is perfectly controlled by our Regu- lator or Thermostat and Breaker, so that the Brooder is never too hot or too cold. Each one has a Thermometer inserted through the top of Canopy. A curtain is supplied to hang down, which is easily removed, if de- sired, when the chicks get two to three weeks old. Many persons are afraid that the Electric current is too expensive and makers of other styles of brooding devices also indulge in such statements. The very reverse is true, and where current can be purchased at any kind of a reasonable rate, it is less expensive than any other plan of heating, besides the chicks grow and develop fastei- than by any other system. All other fuels are becoming scarcer and of poorer quality and naturally will be more so, but as long as it rains and snow falls in the mountains and valleys, water will be plentiful in the streams to generate electrical current, which is likely to cost less as greater development takes place. This is worth considering, when selecting your Incubators and Brooders.

Lactein is a condensed milk product, made from buttermilk, skim milk and whey, blended together, pasteurized and the lactic acid bacteria bred or developed to their very highest degree before the product is condensed by a special process, which retains all the health giving food and tonic values, without the useless bulk of water.

One gallon of Lactein when diluted with water makes thirty gallons of feeding solu- tion, enough to feed 1000 hens two days or 100 hens 20 days,

Lactein fed with grain food makes a complete, correctly bala,nced egg-producing and body-building ration — feeding high-priced grain which fails to produce the maximum of eggs is a loss, but if Lactein is added you are assured a profit.

Lactein is put up in wooden barrels of 5, 10, 25 and 52 gallon sizes.

TSiE STANDARD OF PERFECTION IN EGG MASHES

Blatchford’s "Fill-the-Basket” Egg Mash is built upon the prin- ciple that the hen is an egg-making factory and that eggs are manufactured from the feed she receives. Con- sequently, her feed must be rich in materials required for egg -production. Scratch grains alone are not sufficient. They will maintain the hen’s life, but surplus nourishment is absolutely necessary if she is to yield her maximum of eggs.

Blatchford’s Egg Mash successfully solves the problem of securing eggs both winter and sum- mer. Every bag guaranteed to give satisfaction. TRADE-MARK

SPRAY PUMPS AND SPRAYERS— Continued THE HARDIE” ALL BRASS LEVEE

BUCKET PUMP

This pump, as shown here, is a high grade, all brass bucket pump, especially designed to meet the long felt want in this line. It is the only bucket pump on the market that has a mechanical agitator, and that is so designed as to always stand in position in the center of the bucket. It can readily be detached from the bucket by unscrewing a nut on the spider. The new device for hold- ing the pump firmly in place in the center of the bucket enables the operator to carry the whole outfit with one l^and. As will be seen by the cut here shown, the bulk of the weight is below the top of the bucket, even when the bucket is empty. This pump, as well as being held firmly in the center of the bucket, has a mechanical agitator passing directly in front of the strainer at every strobe of the handle, as shown in cut. It should be remembered that it is just as necessary to have the liquid in a bucket well agitated as that in a barrel. It is capable of develop- ing a 200-pound pressure and maintaining a 100-pound pressure while spraying with 35 strokes to the minute, and will discharge 30 gallons of liquid per hour.

Equipped with heavy wooden bucket, 3 feet best spray hose.

As meeting the demand of a first-class up-to-date Milk Bottle Filler, we olfer the Davis Special Fillers. These are espec- ially adapted to the rapid filling of from 200 to 600 bottles daily. Arranged with a ratchet lifting de- vice of Mr. Davis’ own de- sign, automatically lock- ing when valves are open, leaving operator’s hands fiee to cap the row of bottles previously filled, or prepare the next case for filling. When the bot- tles are filled all but the last row have been cap- ped. The Davis patented valves are the only valves that may be regulated to fill at any desired height. The bottles are filled just right, so that the caps may be placed on them clean and dry, and the milk is prevented from steaming over the out- side of the bottles as with most fillers. Our \aives are made of heavy 1 metal, nickel- plated, and same design and patent as on the enamel tank machines. Sold subject to guaran- tee to do the work satis- factory to the purchaser.

DAIRYMEN’S MILK CANS

AVe taJce particular pleasure in presenting our 1921 line of milk cans, for we feel that we can offer the strongest line on the market. The cans are the product of the Dairy'men’s Manufactur- ing Company, acknowledged to be the largest and most progressive manulacturer of cans in the country'. Quality' has always been their ideal, and we have adopted their cans after having made a veiy' careful investigation of the various makes offered. The material used in manufac- ture of these cans is the very best obtainable. For proof of this we call y'our attention to the construction of the covers. Seamless necks and bottoms. No material but the very best and most select would ever stand the strain of draw- ing and bending which is done in the manufac- ture of these goods. The parts are all smooth, without waves or wrinkles and are guaranteed not to split. Material that is not properly an- nealed will split and crack, but these cans are guaranteed not to do this. All parts are treated to two coats of pure block tin after being prop- erly made to size, so that all edges are tinned just the same as the fiat surfaces.

The cooler is suspended by the brac- kets from a wall or post, the cold water enters the cooler at the lower inlet pipe from a barrel or reservoir, flows to the opposite side, then up through the corrugations and passes out at the top. The milk in the reservoir flows out at the faucet,- is distributed by the per- forated trough, flows down over the outside of the cooler in a thin film into the can below. The cooler is hinged at one end, need not be taken down to wash. Having no sides or ends to the corrugations and the bottom being re- movable, there are no corners to clean. The sectional view, showing plainly the interior arrangement of Beid’s Corru- g-atecl Milk Cooler.

The coldest is at the bottom, there- fore the milk is practically cooled to the temperature of the water when it leaves the cooler. We claim that the Reid Corrugated Cooler has more actual cooling surface to the square inch in proportion to the size than any other corrugated cooler. It is absolutely the best on the market. They are made of heavy tinned copper with removable troughs.

The plates to which the latch is pivoted are riveted to opposite sides of the upper end of one of the T steel bars. The upper end of the other T Bar is provided with a spur, over which the latch catches and by which the hinged side is held positively and securely in locked position. The plates are provided with diverging prongs, which always guide the side into latched position, and also form guards to prevent the cows horns from opening the latch. The latch is easily and quickly operated by one hand. Besides this, it is made of a special shape of high carbon T steel, provided with a small rib. This rib adds considerably to its strength and prevents the wood strip from getting split or knocked off. Price $5.00

JOHN DEERE STEEL WALKING PLOWS

John Deere New Turf and Stubble Plow — Steel Beam

This series of plows is made upon a new theory of plow surface, cut and turn. They embody all the excellencies of high-grade plows. The furrow-slice is lifted and carried un- broken along the surface of the plow bottom until it reaches the wing of the moldboard. Where it is inverted, whereby the second turning and pushing forward of the dirt in front of the plow is avoided. This principle increa.ses the scouring qualities, effects a saving in draft for the team, and leaves a clean furrow.

The turf and stubble plows of this series have a moldboard with a long, easy turn, which makes the plows easy draft and equally adapted for old ground or sod. In the latter, they lap the furrows with great regularity and leave ground in good condition for the harrow.

John Deere No. 45 Tractor Gang Plow

The No. 45 is a new type of John Deere tractor plow with features that every owner of a “two-plow” tractor will appreciate. It was designed by John Deere plow specialists to meet the demand for a tractor plow of extremely light weight without sacrifice of the strength and durability necessary to stand the strain of utilizing “two-plow” tractor power in all plowing conditions.

Use of Special John Deere Steel Makes This Strong, Light Plow Possible.

To secure the desired combination of extreme lightness and great strength special steel was developed. The beams, braces and axles of the No. 45 are considerably smaller and lighter than the corresponding parts used in making the heavier types of two-bottom plows. Yet the strength of heavier construction is secured.

Beams Guaranteed Not to Bend or Break — You will find this guaranty stamped on the beams.

All Frame Connections Are Hot-Riveted — To secure for the entire frame the great strength and durability that each part has, all connections are hot-riveted. That assures a rigidity you are sure to appreciate. The frame has no loose joints to cause unneces- sary wear. It will not give way anywhere.

Pulls Extremely Light — Light draft means more work in the same time with less tractor power. The No. 45 pulls extremely light because of light weight, proper align- ment and most of all because of the scouring qualities and general high-grade construc- tion of its John Deere bottoms. Until you have seen this plow at work, you can hardly appreciate how light it pulls.

Simple and Powerful Lift — A clutch on the axle engages the land wheel, forcing the plow in or out of the ground at the end of the field. A pull on the trip rope by the operator releases the clutch for action. The clutch has one stop dog and, when lifting travels a full revolution. The gears used on the lift make this simple construction possible. At the same time the lifting power is greatly compounded, making it pos- sible to use a light land wheel and requiring very little traction to lift the plow. The lift works perfectly. There is no danger of dirt or trash interfering with its action.

High and level lift — The plow rises straight up on all three wheels. The bottoms are high and level — the shares do not gather trash when turning at the end of the field or when transporting.

Levers are easily reached by the tractor operator. One lever is used for controlling the depth; the other for leveling the plow.

Widely Adjustable Hitch both vertically and horizontally permits hitching the No. 45 to any standard two-plow tractor. The hitch has a break-pin for protecting the plow when striking a stone or root. A slide and pin look provides quick landing adjustment.

A Simple Reliable Plow — The Kind You Need — You will fine the No. 45 a typical John Deere plow. It does good work — the kind of work that farmers have learned to associate with John Deere plows. Remember, nothing in plow qualities will take the place of good work. Unless a plow does its seed bed-making properly, you cannot afford to own it, regardless of the price.

No. 40 John Deere Tractor Gang Plow For Fordson Tractor

John Deere Has Built the Plow You Have Been Wanting

Owners of Fordson and Sampson tractors have been wanting a special plow. They asked for a plow much lighter than usual — a plow, the weight of which would be in keeping with the light “two-plow” tractors.

Naturally, however, they wanted this light weight without sacrifice of the strength and durability necessary to enable the plow to stand the strain of utilizing their tractOT- power under all conditions. And they w'anted thorough seed bed-making all the time.

John Deere plow specialists concentrated their great resources on building such a plow. They took as a basis the standard John Deere bottoms that have made John Deere plows famous everywhere for giving the user the greatest final returns on his investment. Their purpose was to give the user the advantage of these bottoms on a plow perfectly adapted to light “two-plow” tractors. The No. 40 is the result.

To secure the desired combination of extreme lightness and great strength, special steel was developed. Thorough tests showed that this special John Deere steel permits the desired reduction in size and weight of parts without impairing strength. The No. 40’s beams, braces and axles are considerably smaller and lighter than the correspond ing parts used in making the heavier types of two-bottom plows. Yet the strength of heavier construction is secured. The beams, which take most of the strain in plowing, are guaranteed not to bend or break. You will find this guaranty stamped on the beams.

A new improvement to the John Deere No. 40 Tractor Plow is the self-adjusting hitch. This important feature is original and exclusive. The hitch, being connected to the depth lever, automatically rises or lowers to the proper line of draft whenever the depth of plowing is changed with the lever. No vertical hitch adjustment by the operator is necessary.

Automatically the plow maintains the proper line of draft, and the bottoms continue to run true and level when the depth is varied.

The self-adjusting hitch, with flexible link clevis, is a feature that every user will greatly appreciate. It is a big advantage that goes with extreme light weight, light draft and great strength in making the John Deere No. 40 “the plow that fits the Fordson.”

At the same time the sections are heavy enough to give to the teeth the proper- amount of penetration in any condition of soil. The teeth a.re fastened to the bars by four patent tooth fastener, which holds the tooth firmly in position, and yet, by slightly loosen- ing the nut, permits the tooth to be removed readily for replacing with new one or to turn the tooth to present a now corner to the work when it becomes worn. Hinge castings are attached firmly to each end of the tooth bars, and are riveted on the outside of the side bars. The tooth bars turn freely, and can be easily adjusted so the teeth will work at any desired angle.

The Syracuse frame and tooth bars are made of channel and angle bar steel of from 40 to 50 points carbon. The frame thus has great strength without disturbing the elasticity of the bars. A distinctive feature of the Syracuse construction is that the frame between the section has a small opening in front, which grows wide towards the rear. All loading or choking at this point is thus absolutely prevented. The runners have heavy steel protective shoes, and they provide twice the v/ear of the ordinary shoe on most other harrows. All Syracuse spring teeth are made of a special high-carbon spring steel, and withoi?t bolt holes.

SPRING TOOTH AND ONE-HORSE DISC HARROWS

The Spring tooth harrow furnishes the best and only practical means of pulverizing sandy, gravelly or stony ground, where deep cultivation is required. The main advantage in the use of the spring tooth harrow, as compared with the disc or smoothing harrow, is that the spring tooth will penetrate to a greater depth than the other harrows and the lower strata of soil may be dug up, brought to the surface and mixed with the top soil.

The Syracuse frame and tooth bars are made of channel and angle bar steel of from 40 to 50 point carbon. The frame thus has great strength without disturbing the elasticity of the bars. The frames of some competing harrows are of 10 to 20 points carbon, which makes a soft steel, easily bent, and such bars when once sprung do not come back into shape.

The runners have heavy steel protective shoes Vf-inch thick, and they provide twice the wear of the ordinary shoe used on most of harrows.

Imperial One-Horse Disc Harrow

The Imperial One-Horse Disc Harrow is a light weight, low priced implement for market gardeners and farmers using one or two horses. The shafts are readily converted into a pole for two horses. Few, if any, one-horse disc harrows other than the Imperial have two levers for adjusting the gangs inde- pendently. The gangs can be set for out-throw, as shown in illustration, or extended and reversed and used as an inthrow harrow or straddle row cultivator. The frame is made of steel angle bars, very strong, light and rigid. Discs are of lirst grade hard steel, 16 inches in diameter. Cleaning scrapers are regular equipment.

For the very best cultivation of orchards, vineyards and hop beds, the Model “A” is particularly fitted and meets all requirements. The disc gangs are reversible for either in or out throw, also adjustable in width from the center out, enabling the harrow to straddle rows or extend under the branches of trees. Discs can be extended out past the frame, doing away with the possibility of the frame scratching the trees when doing close culti- vating in orchard work.

In vineyards this harrow can be adjusted to work as close to the vines as desired, walking tfip ground thoroughly two feet or three feet from the row toward the center, and being reversible, you can throw the dirt either toward or away from the row, getting the weeds and stirring all the ground.

The frame is made of one solid piece of the best of steel. Disc blades are made of special high quality steel, carefully polished and ground to a sharp cutting edge and beveled back iy2 inches on the counter side. The bearings are made of hard maple, soaked in oil, giving a smoother and longer wearing bearing than a metal bearing, also inexpensive when it is necessary to have one or more replaced.

This harrow is stocked in one size only:

Model “A” 8 — 16-inch Disc Harrow, cuts 4 feet, weight, 366 ibs.

For, Foretruck in place of pole, add — See Price List.

We also have the John Deere Universal disc harrow, which is also reversible and adjust- able, and is built in the 3 foot size, with combination pole and shafts, which makes it quite adaptable for the very small ranch. The frame is built higher than on the Model “A,” and is not adjustable to so wide a throw. It has the same grade material throughout, and as on all John Deere disc harrows, it is equipped with hard maple, oil soaked bearings. It is r.tocked in 3 foot sizes only, and in 16-inch disc.

JOHN DEERE MODEL B DISC HARROW

The John Deere Model “B” is not only superior in g'eneral construction to other discs,

but there is also one most important difference in principle that places this machine strictly in a class by itself — ^its flexibility.

It is a hig’h g'rade Spring* Pressure, Flexible Harrow. A third lever with powerful spring is provided by means of which the driver can easily lower or raise the gangs at

the center so as to either cut out dead furrows or to cultivate over ridges or back furrow

without burying the harrow in the center.

Each gang of the Model “B” works independently, so that only the part passing over

an obstruction is raised out of the ground. With a rigid harrow, the entire machine is

lifted out and considerable ground left unworked. In other words, each gang of the Model “B” is controlled by a convenient lever so that the operator can readily regulate it to secure the desired penetration the full width of the harrow.

The Model “B” is a well-built harrow. The main frame is made in one piece from high- carbon steel. The gangs pivot directly from the ends without the addition of any links or extra couplings whatever. The frame is extra well braced by means of heavy bars laid edgewise. The braces also reinforce the bent ends of the main frame as they extend under and are bolted to them, securing greater strength and stiffness where it is most needed. Greater clearance for trash is provided than on any other harrow. The driver’s seat is also well up out of the dust and dirt. The disc blades are the hard-working part of any harrow. Either plain blades or cut-away discs can be furnished for the Model “B.” They are of the highest quality steel, thoroughly polished on cutting side and ground to a sharp cutting edge. Bearings are the well-known John Deere hard maple oil-soaked bearings, easier and cheaper to replace and also more durable than metal bearings.

Hard-oil cups are conveniently located at top of frame out of the dust and dirt.

The scrapers are of an unusual type. They are independently removable, adjustable and replaceable. There are no rivets, set-screws or other objectionable features on them. The scrapers can be locked either at the center or edge of the discs,, keeping them absolutely clean, or, if not needed, locked off entirely, reducing draft. High-grade spring steel gives them ample stiffness and sufficient flexibility to do their work in the most efficient manner without breaking or bending out of shape.

WITH YIELDING LOCK

The John Deere Model “L” Disc Harrow is a good investment for any farmer who owns a tractor and who desires 3. harrow that can be controlled entirely by the man on the tractor.

Two cranks easily reached by the operator of the tractor permit the independent angling of front or rear sections. Either section can be straightened quickly when in danger of stalling the tractor in heavy pulling, or the gangs can be set in any position from a straight line to extreme working angle without stopping or backing. When you go to see this harrow, be sure to try out these cranks and find out for yourself how easily they are operated.

FIiEXIBIiZ: — DOBS A COMFIiDTE JOB OF DISKING

The John Deere Model “L” is not a rigid, one-piece frame, tractor disc harrow. It penetrates and pulverizes its entire width even when going over depressions or obstructions. It is a flexible harrow. Each section, and, in fact, each gang works independently, disking all the ground without twisting or binding the frame. Three things make it flexible — its automatic, yielding lock coupling, universal joint on control rod, and the pivoted yoke.

FATBNTED AUTOMATIC YIBZ.DING DOCK COUFDING COMFBDS BBAB DISCS TO

FBNBTBATB FBOFBBDY

This device, which connects the front and rear sections, is an exclusive feature. It compels the rear discs to do their work properly — to cut the ridges left by the front discs instead of trailing in their furrows; and it also prevents the rear section from swinging when one side of the harrow encounters more resistance than the other. The rear section is locked when traveling straight ahead, but, when turning, a coil spring yields, unlocking the coupling. There is no dragging of the harrow when turning.

STONES AND STUMFS DO NOT RAISE ENTIRE HARROW OUT OF THE GROUND

The John Deere Model “L” is provided with a pivoted yoke on the front section. The drawbars pass through this yoke. This permits the inner end of either gang to rise above the other without raising the entire harrow from its work.

The Alig’ning' Device is another feature you will appreciate. It insures good work be- cause it permits adjusting the coupling so that the rear gangs will be locked in the cor- rect position. By means of two eccentrics on the front frame, the coupling may be ad- justed to keep the rear section in alignment — just moving the two eccentric levers causes the rear section to move from either side to its proper place behind the front section so that the rear discs will always cut out the ridges left by the front discs.

CAN BE USED WITH ANY STANDARD TRACTOR

The hitch is adjustable to suit the height of any standard tractor drawbar. A forged steel clevis attached to the tractor hitch gives a range of vertical adjustment from eleven to nineteen inches. A leg on the front end of the hitch indicates the proper height of the harrow frame to secure correct line of draft for proper penetration with minimum load. The length of the hitch also can be changed to place the operating cranks in the desired relation to the tractor platform and seat. The low tractor hitch and low coupling between front and rear sections hold the discs down to their work, insuring good penetration.

DUNHAM CULTI-PACKER

The Dunham Double Gang Culti- Packer is a combination pulver- izer, roller, packer, and clod crush- er. In one operation it will make all these steps at the same time, pre- paring an ideal seed bed. In many localities this is the only tool of its kind used before and after seeding. It should be used on growing grain any time before the grain starts to joint, working the soil surface, and making a surface uulch that will remain until the crop is matured. It is also very profitable to roll meadows in the spring, firmly packing the loose dirt around the roots. Anyone using this tool finds it a profitable investment. The rear gang can be easily removed if a single roller is ac any time desired.

NO. 400— HOOVER VISIBLE POTATO PLANTER

Main Prame — Main frame is made of channel steel, in the form of a yoke, with both front and rear ends bolted solidly together, to v/hich is bolted the main axle bearings and other parts of the planter.

Drive Wheels — Drive wheels are 40 inches in diameter with 4-inch concave tires and have a tread of 35 inches. The wide, concave tires prevent the wheels from sinking in soft ground or slipping on hillsides. Both wheels are provided with ratchets for driving the main axle, which prevents side draft or extra strain on either wheel.

Boiler Bearing's — Main axle revolves in roller bearing boxes, bolted solid to the main frame. The intermediate shaft also is provided v/ith roller bearings and, as all the power for driving the planting mechanism passes through these bearings, it assures light draft.

Hopper — Potato hopper is placed at the front end cf the planter, and is provided with an agitator, which prevents the potatoes bridging. Hopper is made of sheet steel with reinforced top, making it rigid and durable. The hopper holds about two and one-half bushels, and is low down for easy hamdling of seed.

Positive Peed Wheel — A feed wheel is placed in the rear of the potato hopper for proper handling of the seed to the picking chamber. This wheel elevates the potatoes to the picking chamber. The speed of this wheel is under the control of the operator, so thar the right amount of seed is in the picking chamber, thus preventing the flooding of the picking chamber.

Picking Chamber — The picking chamber bolts solid to the main frame and extends below the axle and picker arms, and is provided with concaves to properly hold the seed for the pickers. Adjusting springs are provided to give these the right pressure on the seed to get the best results.

Accuracy — Three things are very important to the accuracy of a potato planter: First, the right amount of potatoes in the picking chamber. Second, concave spring adjustment, right for the size of the seed. Third, picker points right. All of these features are em- braced in the “Hoover,” as the whole planting operation is in direct view of the operator, thus permitting him to observe at once any adjustment necessary to the concave springs or pickers and which concave or picker that needs the adjusting.

Spacing arrangement for changing the dropping distance is very simple. It is not nec- essary to dismantle the machine or remove drive wheel. Spacing is provided as follows: 9, 11, 13, 14%, 16, 171/2, 19%, 22 and 24 inches. Any two are furnished regularly.

JOHN DEERE LOW DOWN SPREADER With the Beater on the Axle

in designing- the John Deere Spreader the inventor worked on two ideals. First: To build it low down, making it easy to load and at the same time making high traction wheels. Second: To reduce the number of parts formerly used in the construction of manure spreaders. As they studied their plans they found that one change would give them the desired results, namely — BUlIiD THE BEATER ON THE AXLE. This allowed them to lower the entire frame of the spreader, at the same time doing away with over one hun- dred and fifty working parts, 'ihere are no adjustments on the John Deere Spreader; no chains of clutches to give trouble.

All these changes from the old style of spreader construction, in addition to making it more adaptable for its work, tends to lengthen the life of the spreader and reduce the cost of upkeep.

Space is too limited to enumerate all the good features of this machine in this catalog. But we wish to mention t-w el\ e of the advantages:

1. Easy to load from the front to the rear — only thirty-six inches to top of box.

2. High Drive Wheels lighten the draft and furnish extra traction.

3. Simple beater drive — gears run in oil in dust-proof case.

4. No clutches — no chains — few adjustments.

5. Only about half the parts necessary on the ordinary spreader.

6. Main working parts mounted on axle — true alignment maintained — no binding, heavy

draft or breakage.

7. Patented apron drive prevents racing of apron under all conditions — does not act as a brake.

9. Easy to understand and operate — only two levers.

10. Turns in its own length.

11. Tractor Hitch permits of operating spreader from tractor seat.

12. With straw-spreading attachment, it spreads straw perfectly — a two-in-one machine that one man can operate.

John Deere Manure Spreader, capacity 50 bushels, weight 1826. Kindly ask for de- scriptive circular and price.

IT PAYS TO PRESESVE MANURE

Manure has a commercial value based upon the amount of nitrogen, phosphorous and pot- ash it contains. It has an auxiliary value in the organic substance which equals the plant food elements. According to our best authorities, the value of manure in normal times is as follows:

Cattle $2.02 per ton Horse 2.21 per ton

Hog 3.29 per ton Chicken 7.07 per ton

Sheep 3.30 per ton Liquid 7.00 per ton

The above do not include the value of the organic substance. The United States Depart- ment of Agriculture in Farmers' Bulletin No. 21 estimates that, if the manure from live- stock is preserved, its value each year is as follows:

Horse Manure $27.00 Hog Manure 12.00

Cattle Manure 19.00 Sheep 2.00

NOTE — At the present price of fertilizer, the value is much greater.

The ideal way to preserve manure in order to prevent waste is to spread while in a fresh state directly on the land. When that is done, there is no loss from leaching or evaporation, and very little from washing.

When conditions prevent the farmer from hauling it direct to the fields, he should use care to prevent losses. Manure wastes in two ways — leaching and evaporation.

If carelessly left in the yard or in piles unprotected, a large per cent is lost by leach- ing and washing away. That liquid is just as precious as the golden grain in the bin, and, if it is lost, the land is deprived of its just portion of food.

JOHN DEERE DAIN SYSTEM RAKE— LEFT HAND

Follow the mower with a Dain System Side Delivery Rake — you don’t need to wait until practically all the meadow is cut, and besides, you get air-cured hay — hay that retains its natural color and richness. This is the hay that brings the best price on the market. The mower goes around the field turning to the right; therefore, the Dain System Side Delivery Rake has the following advantages over other rakes:

a — It can follow the mower, thus working against the head of the hay.

b — It places all the hay upon clean stubble out of the way of the mower.

c- — -Turns a good square corner without bunching the hay undesirably.

d — Air-cures the hay. It delivers two swaths of grass upside down in a loose continuous windrow. Thus, air can pass through it freely, curing the hay evenly with no loss of coloring, and the hay is not sun-scorched. The slow, steady motion of the teeth rakes the hay without injury. Teeth can be adjusted to rake clean in either light or heavy hay. Ample clearance is provided for making large windrows tha.t are straight and easily fol- lowed by the loader. Rake is furnished with one or two caster wheels, as desired. These help support the frame. Cushion .springs on the caster wheel posts absorb the jar when working on rough ground, and these parts also provide adjustment for height of the reel. IMain frame is made of square steel tubes, and a square tubular arch over the reel insures great strength for supporting the reel and at the same time makes the rake simple and easy to handle.

Each wheel helps to drive the w'orking parts, except when turning. Then the wheel describing the greater arc furnishes the power. The teeth are rotated at sufficient speed all the time to keep the rake from clogging.

All Adjustments Can Be Made From Seat

This is accomplished by means of a convenient shifting lever. The teeth can be angled to accommodate heavy or light hay. and points of teeth can be raised or lowered to work over uneven meadow surfaces. Fur tliermore, the teeth can be lifted up and held nearly horizontal for transportation.

Rake is thrown in and out of gear by means of a convenient lever and is readily adjustable for raking beans.

Left main wheel can be set out to give more clearance in raking unusually heavy hay.

This Rake is one of the most profitable and necessary tools in the successful curing of hay in this climate. Send for our special circular.

JOHN DEERE DAIN HAY LOADER— The “One-Man” Loader

Puts hay so far forward on the wagon that only one man- — the driver- — ^is required. It is the most popular loader of the rake bar type because it handles the hay exactly right. Its rakes are operated at the proper speed to require the least power and yet rake clean. Strokes of the rakes overlap, practically raking the ground twice. Gathers hay from Swath the full width of the machine, regardless of mower used, dividing the swath when necessary. Ground rakes quickly adjustable to any height desired so as not to gather the bottom trash. Instant change to windrow. The Elevator adjusts itself automatically to light and heavy hay. Adjustable throat opening and expansible deck prevent chocking. Converging side boards and elevating bars narrow the stream of hay at delivery point, preventing it from falling off the wagon, while the delivery action of the rake bars pushes hay toward front of wagon. The Dain does not pull or drag hay back off the load.

The Smooth Running Iioader Mounted entirely on wheels. Rear wheels caster — there is no dragging around corners. Roller bearings are used on all main journals, and principal working parts are hammock-mounted. They swing back and forth freely. Wheels are directly under loader, securing a narrow tread. Loader can be operated close to fences and ditches and moved through ordinary gates.

Built to Bast — The main frame of the Dain Rake Bar Loader combines lightness, stiffness, strength and flexibility. Steel is used for the principal parts and the whole is braced and trussed effectually. Both wheels drive the working parts. The straight chain drive is simple and reliable. Working parts of loader are easily thrown in and out of gear.

Universal coupling enables driver to uncouple loader without getting off the wagon,

HOCKING VALLEY CIDER MILLS

lu the Hocking- Valley Cider Mills are adopted the principles of the large hydraulic presses to a hand mill Ihe grinding device consists of a hard- wood cylinder, revolving lapidly with seriated steel knives running length- wise. which break down the .iuice cells and make a pomage that yields under the press every particle of juice in the fiuit. A quart of water will c’ean it after using, an impor- tant feature of these mills is the ab- sence of metal of any kind to rust and impair the quality of the cider.

ROOT CUTTERS

The feeding of roots to stock is being practiced more and more in this country. Like various other foods, roots are more valuable and convenient to feed when cut or sliced, and the ‘‘Rapid” Cutter and Slicer, shown here, is an excellent machine for this purpose, with large capacity. It is simple and not liable to get out of order.

Por Present Prices on Implements See Price Sheet In Back of Catalog

FIG 2

Bescrip-tion of Cutter — The three cutting knives on the fly-wheel follow closely after small projecting slicing or slitting knives, which cut at right angles to the edge of the cutting knives, thus reducing the material to a very nice condition for feeding. The hopper bottom is of slanting cast grating, which allows dirt, gravel or foreign matter to fall through and thus be kept separate from the cut feed.

Safety — The opposite side of the hopper is solid, and entirely covers up the fly-wheel and knives, so that children or others around the machine cannot come in contact with these parts.

For Hand or Power — 'The shaft is best cold rolled steel, with strong crank on one end and fitted for 4-inch face, 10-inch diameter pulley on the other. The frame is hardwood and strong, being bolted through at the legs with tie rods running clear through, capacity about 50 bushels per hour.

NO. 4 AND 45 STOVER FEED GRINDING MlhLS

No. 4 and 45 Stover Peed Grindingr Mill

For Grinding Ear Com, Shell Corn, and All Small Grains

These mills are lighter running and produce a larger capacity for the power applied than any other feed giinding mills of their style that are made.

Grinding Burrs — These mills are equipped with our famous universal burrs, which make it pos- sible to grind ear corn, shelled corn, oats or any small grain without changing the burrs.

Safety Lever — Shown on burr case end of mill enables the user to so set the grinding burrs that in starting and stopping the machine and also in case the hopper runs empty when the operatoi’ is away, the burrs will not drag to- gether and do each other injury. In case a nail or other foreign substance gets into the burrs, the operator can quickly relieve the burrs by throwing the lever forward. .

Safety Spring — Entire grinding load is carried upon coil spring in spring case as shown at side of mill in cut and from there upon ball bearings at the ends of the burr shaft. Should a nut or small piece of iron enter the burrs, this safety spring gives them an opportunity to get away from each other, thus lessening the liability ot breakage. Bv turning the hand wheel at the end of the spring case, the desired grade of feed is obtained.

HOW TO CHOOSE A TRACTOR

If it were possible for you to consult a group of the foremost tractor engineers on the purchase of a tractor, if you were to seek their advice and accept their unbiased opinions, here are some of the things they would say to you;

Choose the tractor with a four-cylinder valve-in-head motor designed to stand the severe service a tractor motor is subjected to. It should burn kerosene economically — it should continuously develop its full rated horsepower on that fuel without overheating.

Choose a tractor that can develop a lib- eral reserve in excess of its rated horse- power.

Choose the tractor with all cut steel, spur gears, the simplest type of transmis- sion and assurance for durability.

Choose the tractor that has all vital working parts enclosed in dust proof, oil tight housings.

Choose the tractor that provides accessi- bility.

Choose the tractor that has a high grade, high tension, dust and water proof mag- neto, requiring no batteries.

Choose the tractor that is handy for all drawbar and belt work.

Choose the tractor built by a concern whose reputation you know to be excellent and with sufficient financial responsibility to make its guarantee worth something to you.

Choose the tractor backed by a concern with active, up-to-date branch houses and dealers to give the right kind of service at the right time.

FAIRBANKS-MORSE ENGINES

The Fairbank Morse “Z” Type Engines are made in three sizes — 1%, 3, and 6 H. P. These Engines are equipped with the Bosh High Tension Oscillat- ing Magneto — the highest grade ignition system known. This is the same magneto that is used on the highest priced automobiles of today — both stock and racing cars. It gives to your “Z” engine an intense, efficient, penetrating, synchronized spark — reliable, steady, unaffected by atmosphere or con- tinuous usage. It is of master design — scientific, self-contained, simple, rugged — built of best mater- ials by expert workmen. It is the magneto you can depend upon— simply oil it and forget it.

You simply cannot get more engine value per dolla- than you get when you buy these engines. They are built especially to use kerosene, distillate, coal oil, tops and other cheaper fuels as well as gasoline. Fix this in mind. The “Z” engines are not gasoline engines built over for kerosene — they are not gasoline engines with kerosene attachment. They are real kerosene engines that will use gasoline as well. Here’s where you get your economy — these engines use kerosene so successfully that you get the same power from a gallon of kerosene as from a gallon of gasoline — and you save the difference in cost.

The “S” Engines have other very important and distinct features such as —

Throttling governor assures constant, reliable power. It makes the engine run smoothly.

1^ H. P. “Z” Tj'^pe Engine

Suction fuel feed — no pump — simple and reliable.

Convenient speed controller gives change of speed, if desired, while engine is running. Removable bushings in bearings.

Close speed regulation.

Ample positive lubrication.

Practically automatic in operation, requiring but little attendance — easily started and stopped. Run smoothly, quietly, cleanly.

Furthermore, every bit of metal in these engines is effectively used to give greatest strength without excess weight. The crank shaft is of forged steel with extra large bearing sur- faces— it is built for long life. The interchange- able die-cast liners in main and crank bearings are easy for you to replace if necessary. Need but little floor space — simple foundation.

6 H. P. ASSOCIATED ENi^INE

This is a big powerful Eugine that has established an enviable reputation for its abilit^• to do work that the ordinary 6 H. P. Engine finds impossible.

Time after time the “Six Mule Team” Engine has been tested out with competing 6 H. P. Engines — many of the competing Engines selling at a much higher price — and always there have been two remarkable results. The “Six Mule Team” has pulled at least 25 per cent more than its rated horse power — and it has always registered more power than the competing Engine. We cannot too strongly emphasize the great working power of the “Six Mule Team” Engine — it is easily the greatest value in the 6 H. P. Engine field. For General Farm work requiring full six horse power — buy the “Six Mule Team.”

The Associated are the cheapest engines you can buy, as the only way to judge the cost of an engine is by the results obtained and the length of satisfactory service it will give.

The Associated engines last longer, need fewer repairs, cost less to operate, are stronger, simpler and easier to handle than others.

All Associated engines are of the four-cycle type and are noted for their economy and reliability. The materials used in their construction are the best obtainable. Special grades of iron are used and every operation in their manufacture is carefully watched from the time they leave the mine until they enter the finished product. Many parts, such as cam gears, cams, etc., are made of steel where iron is considered good enough in ordinary practice. Bearings are long, heav5h and fit perfectly.

THE FAIRBANKS MORSE HOME LIGHT PLANT

A SlMPIiB, BCONOMICAX., DEPENDABLE HOME LIGHT PLANT

In designing' this new plant, the special requirements of your farm service were always Uppermost in mind. It was made simple — with fewest possible parts — all standardized and without complicated or delicate mechanism, so that it would be easy for you to start at the touch of a button, easy to run and easy ttj keep running^. It was ma.de complete to give light when and where you v/ant it, conveniently and positively, or power to drive your other machines, either electrically or through a practical power pulley on the engine.

It was made efficient — the “Z” Engine running" on kerosene as well as gasoline and driving a ball bearing dy'namo. The belt drive allows the low speed engine to operate the dynamo at its best speed thus giving* high efficiency and long life. The water cooling maintains the proper cylinder temperature for best combustion and the new condensing radiator retains the supply of w^ater in the hopper, so that you seldom have to replenish it. The storage battery is especially designed to work effectively with this plant.

And linally, it was made dependable’ — through the combination of correct design, tested materials, clean-cut workmanship and desire to have it serve you honestly.

PORTABLE DRAG SAW The Drag Saw with the Disk Type Clutch

ColumlDia Dragr Saws

The Clutch on the Colximhia Drag Saw is one of the principal features. This Clutch will not allow a grabbing- effect as commonly found on various styles of Drag Saw Clutches. It -Is controlled entirely by a heavy spring pressure and when this Clutch is released the spring is simply pinched together doing away entirely with any end thrust on the crank shaft. It is also an advantage that this clutch can be thrown in gradually, doing away with the jerk on the saw. In case the saw should become pinched in the log the clutch wall give enough that it will kill the cugine more gradually and not kill it with a jerk.

This Dnglne also carries a Special Timing Device which is very Simple and very accurate.

The arrangement will not allow the plate to become fouled under any consideration.

The Spark Plug is located in upper part of cylinder, stands upright and Will not foul as

when placed in horizontally. A large per cent of gas engine trouble is caused by dirty spark plugs.

The Water Tank on the Columbia Saw has a condenser top which will cause you to use considerably less water in a solid days run.

The Prame is made of the best kiln dried lumber. The cover for the batteries and coil is mor-tised into the frame so no dampness can get in. Frame is built narrow at the front end to facilitate moving.

The Cylinder of the Engine is made of semi-steel, which gives a smoother, longer Wearing cylinder than it would from common gray iron. All material which goes into the Columbia Saw is inspected in a thorough way and is of the very best.

The Columbia meets every requirement. It has ample power, is made of the best mater- ial to -withstand long hard usage and is built in the drag saw center of the world, wherC they know how.

Columbia Drag Saw, complete with a 6-ft. saw blade. Weight about 2S5 lbs.

Capacity, 2000 gallons per hour, 5x5 cylinder, fitted for hose and 2-inch pipe.

No. 470 — Myers’ Low Down Tank Pump. The construction of this pump is such that all the valves are located on ten of the pump. Each valve can be reached independently by removing the individual cap immediately over it. This is a decided advantage, and not found in any other make of tank pump.

The valve seats are brass, with a full 2-inch water-way, which does not restrict the flow of water, and causes the pumr> to operate easily.

The valves are metal faced with rubber and are of tbe pop- pet type, which raise clear from the seat, preventing any foreign substance from lodging under them.

The cylinder is highly polished.

The piston rod is made from 13/16-inch drawn polished steel, and has a heavy brass stuffing nut.

The handle is reversible; can be placed on either end, making it a right or left hand pump.

The suction and discharge ports are fitted for hose and threaded on the inside for 2-inch pipe.

The base is separate from f'c pump, to which it is firmly bolted.

The above construction as a whole, we are satisfied, is super- ior to anything ever offered in the form of a tank pump.

FAIRBANKS-MORSE TYPHOON POWER PUMPS

DOUBI.X: ACTING

'rhose pumps are especially desif^ned for use iu mills and factories: also for use by market gardeners, farmers and ranchmen, as they are suitable for fire protection, drainage or irrigation. They are geared back in the i)roper ratio to secure best re- sults for each size.

They are compact and easily accessible.

They have a single cylinder lined with heavy brass tubing so it will not corrode or become rough, thereby cutting out pack- ing of the piston. The piston rod is made of steel for strength, but covered with brass to prevent corrosion and consequeni wear of the stuffing box packing. Any or all valves can be removed for inspection by simply loosening two nuts which allows the removal of two yokes and four valve covers, permitting free access to all valves without disturbing any other parts of the pump. All pumps are regularly fitted with I'ubber valves, but if the nature of the service requires, can be fitted with brass

valves. Valve seats are of brass and screwed into the valve decks, similar to the construc- tion of large, heavy duty pumps. All bearings are babbitt lined and gears are machine cut. insuring quiet running and durable pumps. Each pump has an air chamber of suffcient size to insure uniform flow from the discharge which can be turned to any quarter, as desired. The pistons are packed with cup leathers, except sizes iix3 and 27^x5, which aie designed to pump against 200 pounds pressure, these have pistons packed with square Flax l^acking.

CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

Pig 3000 — Gould’s Centrifugal Pumps are so designed that the total head pumped ag^nst and the quantity of water handled, can be varied considerably v/ithout affecting the mechan- ical efficiency. The Impeller is of the open type, and they are so designed to minimi/^e the end thrust. There is provided a thrust collar, which is securely fastened to tne sha.t and which bears against a babbited surface in the bearing. The shaft is rnade of open hearth, high-carbon steel, accurately machined and of ample size to transmit the maximum power required.

Universal Fump Jack

UNIVERSAL PUMP JACK

This Pump Jack is designed to be used with any ordinary windmill head pump without dis-arranging the pumps or pipes in any manner. It is mounted on a sub- stantial circular base, which surrounds the IJUiUp stand, and can be bolted securely to the platform. We believe this to be a more practical device than the ordinary cheap jack now in use, which is bolted direct to the body of the pump stand.

The Universal is fitted with 1 V2 and 114 inch, steel shafts, bulldozer machine cut ;vear v/heel and pinion, and tight and* loose pulleys. The connecting arms are %-inch 1 are steel. The wrist pins are turned steel, held in position by heavy bolts.

ITo. 425, Universal Pump Jack — Weight, 125 lbs. Price

Kandy Pump Jack

The Handy Jack is furnished with a clamp by means of which you can easily attach it to any or- dinary wind mill pump standard. It is double back geared and adapted for the heaviest work that should be put on any ordinary wind mill pump. The beaUngs of the Handy Pump Jack have large re- movable babbitt bush- ings which can be 1 e- placed when worn, a,nd is supplied with compression grease cups for good, steady lubrication.

PATENT NON-SHRINKING WATER TANKS With Round Steel Hoops and Register

Made with a deep channel or groove in the top of the staves, which is filled with water from the patent cup outlet on the supply pipe, placed right over the edge of the tank. By keeping this groove full of water at all times, the staves are kept moist from top to bottom, whether the tank is full or only one inch of water in the bottom, and there- by shrinkage and leakage are prevented on these tanks.

All hoops are constructed of round milled steel with a tensile strength of 60,000 pounds per square inch, and all hoops are fitted with malleable iron adjustable lugs. Each section of hoop has a thread about five inches long on each end, which enables the tightening of the hoops in both directions. This is a great advantage over the flat hoops, which have to be driven, a job that is not very easily accomplished, or over the round hoops, where the different sections are fitted with a square head on one end, because such hoops only draw in one direction, and the hoops are always subject to an unequal tension.

MACHINES

Case steel built threshers with proper attach^ merits which we are prepared : to furnish will thresh all grains and seeds grown,

Y^ASE threshers are sturdily built of steel, ^ insuring long life. Steel construction also prevents total destruction by fire. Rotting and warping is impossible in a Case stee! thresher. Distorted frames and disalignment of shafts and bearings from the pull of main drive belts are avoided by the Case method of construction. Galvanizing prevents rusting.

Add to this the fact that Case threshers in- sure the cleanest of threshing, thorough sepa- aration, perfect cleaning and unequaled saving and you have the reason why more Case threshers were built and sold last season than in any previous year of the history of the J. 1. Case Threshing Machine Co.
