A WORD OF APPRECIATION
This makes the 49th year in which we iiave served Central New York people in helping
them to make an annual success of their harvests.
The fact that the children and grandchildren of my fiist customers are now my regular
patrons, proves that the house of Ebeling has not only won but has held the complete confi-
dence of its customers.
For 49 years our policy has been to import, conti'act for and handle only the highest
grade seeds, bulbs, and supplies for the farm, garden, greenhouse, lawn, dairy or poultry yard.
We wish to take advantage of this opportunity to thank you, the reader, for the kind words
in our behalf that you have extended to your friends and neighbors. It is valued far more
than the profits of the business to which it has contributed. As a result of your co-opera-
tion, the year just passed has proved most successful.
Assuring you that my heartiest hope is that this, my latest Catalog and Seed Book will
in turn more than do its share to make your 1917 the happiest and most prosperous of all
years, I remain Tours very truly,
January 1, 1919. F. H. EBELING.

EBELING’S EXTRA LAWN GRASS MIXTURE
This mixture will insure a beaiuiful, compact, evergreen sod on any lawn where the
essential requirements of grass culture have been complied with. Its component parts are
the grasses peculiarly adapted lo lawns and door yards, including choice selected strains of
Kentucky Blue, etc., along \^■ilh the best known creeping or sod forming sorts. We have
included a little tvhite clo\ or in the mi.xiure, regarding it as essential. Full provision is made
for a succession of growtli, so that there shall be no break in the richness of the verdure from
spring until autumn, and experience proves that Ebeling’s Extra Lawn Grass Mixture is now
perfect. Nothing better can be purchased on the American market, no matter what claims
may be advanced by other seedsmen. This is because we employ the choicest and heaviest,
strains of grass seed in making the mixture. As to preparation of the soil, we recommend
a thorough working and manuring to a depth of 8 or 9 inches, and a regular semi-annual
application of top dressing afterward. It is a good practice to use Slieep Fertilizer and
Ground Bone in the spring and fall; also, to renovate the lawn every spring with a little fresh
Per lb. 30c. Special price for quantity.
How to Make a
Lawn
Have soil thoroughly
spaded up, enriched
with commercial fertil-
izer or well rotted man-
ure, level and roll it
well to make compact.
Select a still, damp day
for seeding; sow one-
half of the seed from
north to south and half
fi’om east to west, rake
it over and I’Oll again,
when grass comes up
re-.seed the bare spots.
When grass is 2 inches
high cut it, and as nec-
essary thereafter. Don't
rake up short clippings,
as they make a good
mulch. Always thor-
oughh' soak a lawn
when sprinkling, when-
eve’’ re(juired, but never
sprinkle lightly.

iViangei ▼▼ ur farmers in Canada and Denmark and grow root crops much more
extensively for stock feeding, which produce the greatest results for the labor and money
invested.
See page 19 for the shape of this wonderful Mangel.
_ _ It is a perfect chunk of a beet, being as large at the
bottom as at the top. Stands two-thirds above ground. Is easily harvested even on hard
soils. This new and original Mangel has been tested alongside thirty other Mangels and by
strict laboratory tests on trial grounds and field demonstrations, has proven to be IDEAL
and superior in quality. Tb. $1.75.

Is one of the very best soiling crops of the North. The most satisfactoi’y dairy result.s
come from sowing it with oats. I’ye or baiiey. It makes good ensilage, and is an admirable
food either green or drj^- for cattle, being highly nutritious and rich in milk-producing ele-
ments. It is quite hardy and may be sown eaidy in the spring, and will be ready to cut in
May or .Tune. The seed should be sown at the rate of 1 to IS bushels per acre.
BUCKWHEAT

Buckwheat is mostly used for filling in fields remaining unplanted after the middle of
June. It is well to bear in mind that on worn-out soils a plowed under buckwheat field is a
great soil fertilizer and improver. Sow 1 bushel per acre.

ROSEN RYE
This Winter Rye has a wonderful history, being
brought by a Russian student from. Russia, who
.gave a handful to Prof. Spragg of the Michigan
Agricultural College, who produced from this
small beginning the most prolific and wonderful
Rye ever known in the United States. Rosen Rye
produes a strong, vigorous straw, stools to a re-
markable degree. The grain is large, plump,
heavy and of beautiful color and commanding a
premium on the market at all times over the
common rye usually sowed. Less seed is required
on account of its vigor, and one bushel to the acre
will produce the best crops. Seed should not be
swon until after the 10th of October. Rye is the
strongest of all the grain crops, and will endure
more cold and ill-ti*eatment than any other grain.

ALBERTA Cluster Oats
THE FAMOUS, HEAVY YIELDING, HARDY VARIETY
FROM THE GREAT NORTHWEST
These oats were grown and shipped to us direct in car lots of about 2000 bushels,
from that wonderful Alberta country of the Canadian Northwest. The soil is a deep,
heavy, rich loam, free from foul weeds, and which produces the very best of all grain
crops. These oats have captivated the modern grain-growing farmer in every part of
the country because they have proved themselves a big success. It’s well ^own that
seed oats grown in the Alberta country are unequaled in hardiness, height, yield,
vigor, in freedom from rust and from foul seeds. Canadian growers are extremely
careful in seed selection and the Canadian government, through its rigorous seed
laws, has greatly benefited our American farmers. It is safe to say that a more
profitable variety of oats was never offered before in Central New York.
The two main handicaps in the growing of oats are foul weeds and the sowing of
degenerated oats. Both problems are solved by our Alberta Cluster Oats. The virgin
soils of the Canadian northwest are as yet free from the many foul weeds that affect
our farmers, and these oats constitute a remedy for the farmers who have had trouble
with their annual yield because they have continued to sow run-out and rumdown sorts
year after year. Alberta Cluster Oats compare with the majority of seed oats in the
same way that a blooded Holstein compares with a common, scrub animal.
KERNELS MUCH FATTER— -WEIGH 45 POUNDS TO
BUSHEL
These oats yield from 75 to 100 bushels to the acre.
They have big, strong, stiff straws that stand up well on
any ground. Their spangled heads are 12 inches long
and ripen early.
The season of 1918 showed splendid results from our
Alberta Cluster Oats, which have produced two or three
times more than the common oats.
Here’s an opportunity for you to sell to your neighbors
at. a good price these remarkable oats for next season.
We suggest that you order early.
Price $2.50 per bushel. Special prices for large lots.
Mr. F. H. Ebeling; Lysander, N. Y.
The Alberta Cluster Oats purchased of you last spring
were more than satisfactory and yielded seventy bushels
to the acre. There was at least five bushels per acre on
the ground, owing to the fact that 1 was obliged to mow
ihem with a mowing machine.
This shows the value of purchasing the “high quality
Alberta Cluster Seed Oats.’’ My neighbors threshed
from thirty to fifty bushels per acre, which indicates
more clearly the value of your splendid ALBERTA
CLT:'^STER OATS. Yours very truly,
F. M. CUDDEBEC.
Seneca Falls, N. Y.
.Mr. F. H. Ebeling, Syracuse, N. Y.
Dear Sir: — Will say in regard to the “Alberta Cluster
Oats” that I am very much pleased with them as they
yielded beyond my expectation. I had 26 acres and had
1560 bushels, and weighed 40 pounds per bushel. The
weather was bad to gather them and was obliged to cut
them with the mowing machine and rake with a horse
rake, and we *surely left 10 bushels per acre on the
ground. Very truly yours, W. D. HILL.
Geo. A. Courbat, Mallory, N. Y., sowed 30 bushels of
our Wonderful Alberta Cluster Oats and grew one thou-
•sand bushels. This was a record-breaking oat crop for
Oswego County, and which has never before been
equaled.
. You are welcome to write any of the above, who will
gladly verify the above.
TO PREVENT SMUT IN OATS. Formula— 1 pt. of forma-
lin to 20 gal. of water, wet 20 bu. (or in that proportion) of
oats with this solution, mix thoroughly by shoveling, then
pile in a mound, cover up well with blankets, etc., for 12
hours. This forms a gas that will destroy the Smut germ.
After 12 hours spread out the Oats to dry. They will then be
ready for sowing.

I am mailing you one peck of Alberta Cluster Oats raised from the seed purchased from
you last spring. 1 had one acre of these oats that I took extra care of, using 240 pounds of
fertilizer and one ton of limestone. This acre yielded 91 bushels of fine Alberta. Cluster
Oats. T expect to have fifteen acres of just the same as this one acre the coming season of
1919. Yours very truly. 1^. T.^. BEN.TAMIN.

Last spring 1 purchased 24 bushels of Alberta Cluster Seed Oats and threshed 934 bushels
from this field. These oats were the best we have ever grown and yielded more than double
over the ordinary varieties. Based upon th weight of over 40 pounds to the bushel, you can
readily see that the yield is remarkably large. I would recommend the Alberta Cluster Oats
to all farmers. The straw stands up strong and stiff thick meats and thin shells — valuable
assets in oat raising, as well as money makers.

PRIDE OF THE NORTH
85- Day Yellow
We believe Pride of the North will mature
farther north than any other Dent com.
Strong, hardy, vigorous grower, can be
planted thickly and still make good-slxed
ears. For husking crop it ripens early, dries
out quickly, and is an all around very satis-
factory kind. Pride of the North hots a bright
red cob, ears medium size, with deep kernel.
Many of the stalks have two good ears.
Price per bushel, $4.25.
IMPROVED LEAMINO
This variety was originated by a Mr. Learn-
ing of Ohio and at once became a very popu-
lar and well known variety. It is probably
more largely used in the East than any other
variety for ensilage or fodder purposes.
Stalks grow to good size, nine to twelve feet,
and produce ears nine to eleven inches long,
containing from sixteen to twenty-one rows
of dark golden yellow grains. It is a late
variety and will not mature in the northern
states, unless the season is very favorable,
but it is early enough to make it very valua-
ble for an ensilage corn. Price per bu., $4.SB.

LUCE’S FAVORITE
DENT FIELD CORN
Luce’s Favorite, Minnesota King, Barly
Triumph, Poor Man’s Dent. These four vari-
eties are all one and the same thing.
This variety combines the best in the
Western Yellow Dent and Eastern (White)
Flint of which it is a hybrid. It combines all
the good points in the family stock in that
its stalks are tall, slender with many wide
leaves. The ear has a long small cob filled
with large broad dented kernels flattened out
to the size of your finger nail. You can plant
it as late as May 25th and it will ripen with
ordinary seed Flint sorts.
You will find Lucie’s Favorite to be a
strong growing bright yellow dented corn,
which breaks off very easy in husking. It’s
the heaviest yielder you ever saw, the stalks
often have two or three ears. It’s extra good-
for fodder as the leaves are very broad and
long. Like all hybrid of this class there are
from eight to twelve rows to the ear. We
have seen a bushel shelled that weighed 34i
pounds and equal to 69 pounds of shelled com
to 2 bushels of ears. Price $4.50 bushel.

IOWA BOLD MINE
ENSILA6E CORN.
The Deepest Grained, Purest Yellow
Corn Ever Grown. Every Year This Corn
Puts Thousands of Good Gold Dollars In
the Pockets of Our Customers.
Every year you have read in our catalog the
extraordinary things we have had to say
about our Iowa Gold Mine Corn. Every year
our confidence in it has increased, and our
only wish is that we knew how to make a
stronger plea for this, the king in the com
family.
We honestly believe it is the biggest mar-
ket producer and money maker on the Amer-
ican continent.
This real wonderful variety of corn grrows
14 feet high and it matures with your field
varieties. Of all ensilage corn known to
modern seedmen this has the largest kernel
and smallest cob. You will find the grain
value to be almost double of the Learning or
Pride of the North because of their immense
cobs and small kernels. Iowa Gold Mine En-
silage Corn possesses every desirable feature
of the Learning and Pride of the North and
in addition the great grain producing quality
we have told you about.
We earnestly advise you, the reader, to sow
this corn this year and we know that you
will be as enthusiastic as we are about this
world-winning corn. Price $4.25 Bu. SheHed.

EUREKA ENSILAGE CORN
The above picture shows a field of our GENUINE and CELEBRATED EUREKA
ENSILAGE CORN; also the family of the grower, Mr. H, F. Daboll of Clyde, N. Y.
This shows a wonderful growth of this celebrated variety which has produced such
immense crops for our New York farmers. We are offering again our genuine Eureka
Ensilage corn, which we have secured from our growers in Virginia, and is not to. be
compared with the ordinary Southern Horse-tooth variety which is often substituted.
This Wonderful Variety of Ensilage Corn was originated and grown under special
supervision on the bottom lands of Virginia. It is especially famous for abundant
leaves and extreme height. Some of you will remember having seen this variety at
our State Fair exhibit three years ago. The corn measured 19 ft. in height.
This season we have been fortunate in securing another carload of this won-^
derful corn.
As it is grown beyond the frost line it insures a perfect seed stock, as our short
season does not allow it to mature and our Northern soil produces an extremely
heavy growth of stalks and leaves, which makes it especially valuable ensilage and
nearly double in quantity.
Bear in mind that this is the genuine Eureka, not the common Southern horse-
tooth variety — and remember that our stock will be exhausted early.

ilton, N. Y.
The Eureka corn we had of you this year was nearly shoulder high on July 19th
and growing rapidly and will probably be 17 or 18 feet high when ready to put into our
silo. We have used this for years and consider it one of the best for ensilage.
SEEBER BROS. Hastings, N. Y., Nov. 1st, 1916.
Mr. P. H. Ebeling.
Dear Sir: — I am pleased to say that the Eureka ensilage corn which I have had
from you has proved more than satisfactory. The germination of the seed has been
remarkably good, and the yield of corn for silage very satisfactory.
With our system of growing, the ears mature fairly well and make good sweet
silage.
We are now cutting something over 160 acres of alfalfa each year. The first com-
mercial seed which we purchased came from your predecessor, Mr. Perry, over 35
years ago, and we have had more or less seed from your store each year since. Th^
fact that we have continued to make our purchases from you surely indicates that we
have been well pleased with the seed and with the service you have given us.

ALFALFA— THE BIG MONEY CROP
It has been said many times and in many different ways that there is more money
In alfalfa than in other crops. However, large numbers of farmers have been discour-
aged in growing alfalfa because of weeds and because they have taken chances with
inferior seeds. The truth is that alfalfa is very seldom run out by weeds. It’s only
the tender strains of seed that are affected. In Minnesota farmers even kill out Cana-
dian thistle patches by seeding to alfalfa.
It’s poor economy to gamble with unknown alfalfa seed when you can sow the
seed grown in the great Northwest and have the results insured.
You have been warned by the U. S. Department of Agriculture against the pur-
chase of commercial Turkestan and other inferior alfalfa seed, and you should profit
by their advice.
We have a carload of the famous western grown Alfalfa — Dodder free — which we
do not hesitate to say is the finest ever received in Syracuse. We trust that our
customers will avail themselves of this opportunity.
FOR DESTROYING DODDER IN ALFALFA FIELD
Use a spray consisting of four parts of water, one part of crude carbolic acid.
Mix thoroughly in hot water. Spray this on the infected spots with an ordinary paris
green sprayer. If necessary spray the second time. This will kill the dodder and
save about 75 per cent, of the growing Alfalfa. I am indebted to J. C, Osborn, Port
Byron, N. Y., for this valuable disicovery. — F. H. E.

USEFULNESS OF THE EARLY MEDIUM GREEN SOY BEANS.— Soy Beans have a
higher protein content than oil meal. Hay from them has a higher protein content than ^
Alfalfa. The green fodder contains a higher protein content than either alsike or medium i
red clover. Add to this the fact that it is easily possible to secure two or three, or occa- 1
sionally four to five tons of dry hay per acre; adds fertility to the soil fully as rapidly as the I
clovers or other legumes; will grow on soil too poor or acid for Alfalfa.
Time of Planting and Cultivation — Prepare and cultivate the same as for corn, giving;,]
frequent harrowings to kill the weeds. Wait until corn planting time before planting the
beans. Plant in with the corn or in alternating rows. Sow % bushel to the acre. We advise 3
planting in drills about 36 inches apart, 2 or 3 inches in the drill. Price, $8.00 per bushel. ^

.market gardeners in this vicinity.
My Dear Mr. Ebeling:
I have dealt with you for so many years that I can hardly recall when I have not done so.
It is certainly over thirty years when we began and have continued to do so ever since. The
reason why is, that we have always found your seeds to be reliable, true to name and of good
vitality. On this account you have earned the splendid reputation that your store bears in the
conamunity and wherever you do business. I would not be doing justice to myself, neither to
you, were I to say anything different. Our success in gardening and farming depends so
largely upon the seedsman that we could not afford to do business with a firm that failed us
in these important matters.
You are welcome to use this letter in any way that you think best.
Very sincerely, FYank L. Scoville.

EXTRA RE=CLEANED GRASS AND CLOVER SEED
Nothing is more important to the farmer than that the grass seed he sows should be
pure and clean. The seed should also be plump, heavy and well ripened, so as to Insure a
good stand. First-class, thoroughly re-cleaned seed, while considerably more costly the
first place, is really much cheaper in the end than the light, chaffy grades generally sold at
much lower prices — even should the latter be free from weed seeds. Heavy, plump seed,
germinating better, will produce a much greater number of strong plants.
SUDAN GRASS. Sudan Grass is strictly an annual, and dies each year like millet, and
must be seeded again each spring. This makes it fit into any system of rotation and affords
a change in crop, which is a good thing for the soil. Sudan Grass is tall, reaching a height
of from seven to nine feet, with very small stems, no thicker than a lead pencil. The plant
stools wonderfully, and produces an amazing number of stalks from a single root. The hay
crop is of great importance; stock prefer it to any other forage, and thrive on it Produces
good crops in time of drouth, and enormous ones in wet seasons. Price, 30c lb.

the few really desirable grasses that can be
depended upon for all around purposes. It is
finer than Orchard Grass, sweet and nutri-
tious, and sprouts out into fresh growth very
naturally. Well adapted to high grounds, hills

ORCHARD GRASS. (Dactylis glomerata).
This is one of the most desirable pasture
grasses for stock, and also for producing
large crops of hay. It succeeds well in quite
shady places, hence the name of Orchard
Grass. Choicest re-cleaned seed, 14 lbs. to
the legal bushel— but our seed is heavier;
3 bushels to the acre. Per lb., 35 cts., post-
paid; per bushel of 14 tbs., about $4.00.
TIMOTHY. (Phleum pratense). Of the
easiest cultivation and with us is usually

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. As is well
known, this is the grass for which the State
of Kentucky is famous and frequently in
some sections of the country it is used in
making lawns, aitho.ugh it is preeminently a
pasture grass. When Kentucky Blue Grass is
used for lawn purposes, the seed is generally
sown at the rate of two and one-half to
three and one-half bushels to the acre, and
if White Dutch Clover is desired, seed should
be added at the rate of one-half pound to one
bushel of grass seed. Kentucky Blue Grass
thrives best in well-drained or limestone
soils. Legal weight, fourteen pounds to the
bushel, and for pasturage it is customary to
sow two and one-half bushels to the acre.
Our recleaned seed weighs 20 pounds per
bushel, and hence less than two bushels are
required per acre. Per tb., 35 cents, post-
paid; per bushel of about 20 lbs., $4.50.
ENGLISH RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne).
This makes a quick growth very early In

bushels to the acre. Per Tb. 35c postpaid; per
bushel of 7 Tbs. $2.50.
JAPANESE MILLET. (Billion Dollar
Grass.) Japanese Millet is one of the most re-
markable forage plants we have; remarkable
for its marvelous, luxuriant growth, often
growing six feet tall; remarkable for the im-
mense amount of hay it produces from each
acre, and remarkable for its feeding value.
It is adapted to all sections; does especially
well on low ground; makes more hay than
German or any other kind of millet, and re-
quires less seed per acre; produces a crop In
a very short time; Is relished as hay by stock
of all kinds; or, if allowed to ripen, will yield
about as many bushels per acre as oats. The
seed can be used for feed, and is especially
fine for poultry. Sow in May for best results,
15 to 20 pounds per acre. If desired for hay,
cut just before It heads out; or It can be left
to ripen and then threshed the same as tim-
othy. Price $3.00 per bushel.
HUNGARIAN MILLET. (Panicum Ger-
manicum) Seed can be sown early In July
to produce a good crop of hay. To make the
best hay it should be cut before the seeds
become hard. 48 lbs. to the bushel; 1 bushel
to the acre. Per bushel, about $4.00.
GOLDEN OR GERMAN MILLET. This is
the favorite variety for planting in good
land to produce a large crop of hay or forage
during the summer months; of very strong
growth. 50 lbs. to the bushel; 1 bushel to
the acre. Tennessee grown. Per bushel,
about $3.50.
DWARF ESSEX RAPE. A forage plant of
highest value. It can be sown In April for an
early crop, and for fall crop In July, Augpist
and September, and still later further south;
It is sown broadcast 10 lbs. to the acre, but it
is better drilled, in which case 6 lbs. to the
acre will suffice. In a few weeks from the
time of sowing, sheep, hogs or cattle can be
turned upon it; all reports agree that they
gain weight faster on this than any other
fodder, and as it can be sown after other
crops are off, the gain in fodder is secured at
a nominal cost. Stockmen, dairymen and
farmers have proved its value. Per Tb. 18c;
10 lbs. $1.75; bushel of 50 lbs. $7.00; 100 lbs.
$12.00.
SORGHUM, OR EARLY AMBER SUGAR
CANE. This is the sorghum of the Northern
States; makes the finest quality of syrup. The
earliest and most productive variety. Height,
10 to 12 feet. For ensilage or fodder it pos-
sesses good qualities; stock of all kinds relish
it. Sow 6 lbs. in drills, or 1% bushels broad-
cast to acre. Per Tb., 10c; bu. (56 Tbs.), $4.00.
WINTER VETCHES, OR TARES (Vida Vll-
losa). Also called Sand Vetch, or Hairy
Vetch. Recommended for fall sowing with
rye, which serves as a support. It Is perfect-
ly hardy in all parts of the country, remain-
ing green all winter and maturing fully four
weeks earlier than Scarlet Clover; it can,
therefore, be harvested or plowed under, and
the ground used for the usual spring crop.
Sow 25 lbs. with one bushel grain per acre.
Price per bushel, $16.00.
CLOVERS
ALFALFA, DR LUCERNE. (Medicago
sativa). It strongly resembles clover in
habit of growth and feeding value, but with-
stands drought much better. It is a perennial
plant on well-drained soils, so that when
once established, it will continue to produce
large crops for twenty years when properly
cared for, and on some of the rich western
prairies yields four to five large cuttings In
a single season. It must be cut every time
it comes into bloom, and not allowed to pro-
duce seed if permanence is desired. The
plant is quite hardy, but will not succeed on
low wet soils. Sow from 20 to 35 lbs. per
acre. Per lb., 40 cts., postpaid. By express
or freight, 30c per lb; per bushel, $16.00.
ALSIKE OR HYBRID CLOVER. (Trifo-
lium hybridum). The plant is perennial and
very hardy, thriving equally well on wet or
dry soils. The stems are more, slender and
much taller than those of the Red Medium
Clover, and thus much better adapted for
growing with Timothy to produce a high
grade of mixed hay. Sow at rate of 10 to
20 Tbs. to the acre. Per lb., 30 cts., postpaid.
By express or freightrper lb., 30 cts.; 10 lbs.
or more at 40c per Tb.
RED MEDIUM OR MAMMOTH. This is
the common Red Clover so largely grown.

and climate, succeeding equally well on
heavy, moist land and thin, dry hillsides. It
is of low- creeping growth and for green,
velvety lawns. Per Tb. 70c postpaid; by ex-
press 65c per lb.
SWEET CLOVER BOKHARA (Melllotus
Alba). This slightly resembles Alfalfa In
growth, but is much taller, with leafier and
stlffer stems. It frequently grows five to six
feet in height and branches freely, with slen-
der spies of small, fragrant, white fiowers,
which afford an excellent food for bees. Used
also for inoculating Alfalfa soils. Per Tb. 40c.
CRIMSON OR ITALIAN CLOVER. (Tri-
folium incarnatum). An annual variety pro-
viding large crops of green forage, or If cut
while in bloom will make excellent hay. It
should not be allowed to grow too old, or
the seed-heads are liable to cause hair-balls

THE RUSSET POTATO
THE RUSSET IS A LATE POTATO of mar-
velous, robust habit of growth, the rich dark
green vines cover the ground even when planted
three feet apart each way, and in a dry season.
Vines free from blight and not bothered with
bugs. No potato known can match it in this
respect. Yields enormously, producing six, eight,
ten, and even twelve large-sized, round, shapely,
white tubers, equal to the Rurals, Carmen or
Raleigh, but a much larger producer. This
potato • is completely covered with a beautiful
russet skin, and baked or boiled equal or su-
perior to the best potato you ever ate. A trial
of the RUSSET POTATO would convince you
of the facts as stated above.
The best baking sbrt ever grown.
It is the easiest to grow and of remarkable
blight and drouth resisting qualities. Vines
stand erect when growing, thus making an extra
cultivation possible over the white sprout types.
This marvelous Russet Potato is free from scab, blight and rot, being one of the very
few potato fields that passed the rigid inspection by the New York State Food Supply Com-
mission.
We are fortunate in being able to offer this lot of Improved Russet Potatoes for seed,
and urge our farmers and gardeners to order early before the stock is exhausted.
Price per bushel, $2.75. Sacks at cost. Large lots at a suitable reduction.

The following indicates the possibilities in potato-growing. Surely “Mighty potatoes from
little seedlets grow,” as shown at the Court House in November, 1917^
Mrs. Richard Pollard, 232 Hudson street, Syracuse, N. Y., planted, five hills with potato
eyes, .size of end of little finger. Simply took eyes out of the potato. Five eyes in one hill
from one potato. Had peach basket three-fourths full from 25 eyes, all of good size.
Mrs. Jessie Donaldson, Onondaga Hill, N. Y., planted 11 oz. Carmen No. 3 potatoes, cut
in 23 pieces. Yield over one-half bushel.
George W. Tarbell, DeWitt, N. Y., dug 68 potatoes, weighing 14 lbs. Planted nine pieces
in nine hills, June 7th. Sprayed with Pyrox.
George W. Tarbell planted one Irish Cobbler potato-, cut in 7 pieces, in 7 hills, and har-
vested almost a quarter of a bushel.

FOR DESTROYING DODDER IN ALFALFA FIELD
Use a spray consisting of four parts of water, one part of crude carbolic acid. Mix
thoroughly in hot water. Spray this on the infected parts with an ordinary paris green
sprayer. If necessary spray the second time. This will kill the dodder and save about 75
per cent of the growing Alfalfa. I am indebted to J. C. Osborn, Port Byron, N. Y., for this
valuable discovery. — F. H. E.

Culture — Sow early m spring in rows one foot apart; when one year old the roots may be
taken up and transplanted in permanent beds, which should be made by taking out the soil
to a depth of about 16 inches, fill in with six inches of well rotted stable manure, then six
inches of soil somewhat firmed, and place the roots on the same about 10 inches apart with
the roots well spread out and cover so that the crown will be about four inches below the

Culture— Beans should not be planted until the ground is warm, as cold and wet weather
wiU cause the seed to rot. For garden culture plant four or five seeds in hills one foot apart,
and the ipws 18 inches apart. For field culture make the rows three or three and one-half
feet apart, and cover with two inches mellow soil. Do not hoe or cultivate while the plants
are wet with dew or rain, as getting the leaves bespattered with earth causes rust, which
injures the crop.

CABBAGE, Kopf-Kohl
Y.
It is difficult to give definite cultural directions for cabbage, since it is possible to have
good cabbage at all seasons of the year in some part of the country, and seed can be planted
almost any time of the year. There are three good seasons for sowing the seed, however —
in September for late Winter and early Spring cabbages, in March for Summer and Fall
cabbages, and in June and July for winter cabbages. The seed bed should be thinned early,
or the plants become spindling, and do not head well. Transplanted to the field, they should
be put twelve inches apart, in rows eighteen inches apart. To prevent the heads splitting
open in the field before they are ready to b harvested, the plants should be loosened a little
at the root. Cabbages require considerable moisture, but too much water causes them to
rot very readily.

CULTURE. — Celery seed is slow to germinate, and ample time must be given. Sow
thinly; cover lightly. Keep constantly moist. Count on about 7,500 plants per ounce of seed,
or % pound per acre. When the seedling plants are 3 inches high they should be clipped at
the top, to favor stocky growth, or else transplanted. Celery is mostly grown under flat
culture, without trenches, in rows 4 feet apart, 6 inches apart in row. For home use celery
is often grown in double rows, 10 inches apart, without trenching, and banked for winter
storage just where It grows, without lifting.

A rich, warm, alluvial soil is the best, but excellent sweet corn can be raised on any
good, ordinary soil, if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. In the North sweet
com should be planted as early as can be done without risking great loss from frosts or
from rotting of the seed in the soil. If planted in rows, make the rows about three and one-
half feet apart and place the seed fourteen to sixteen inches apart in the row, covering ome
inch deep with fine soil firmly pressed down. If planted In hills, rnake the hills for the eany
varieties three feet apart each way and plant six kernels to the hill. For the later sorts the
hills should be not less than three and one-half feet apart each way. Hoe irequently, and
when six inches high leave three or four plants in the hill. Give frequent and thorough but
shallow cultivation until the tassels appear.

have tested many samples of Evergreen corn that were claimed
C«ariy £«vergreeu to be earlier than Stowell’s Evergreen and to be just as good, but
we have never found any of them so valuable as the stock of this variety we offer. It has
been proven both on our trial grounds and in the field to come into fit condition for use much
earlier than Sto well’s Evergreen and to remain in condition quite as long. Ears about seven
inches long, with fourteen to twenty more or less irregular, rows with very deep grain which
is of the very best quality. Plants average from six and one-half to seven feet high and in
ear resemble those of Stowell’s Evergreen, but differ in earliness and we think are more

CULTURE. — Lettuce thrives gn nearly all soils, but because the growth should at all
times be rapid to insure crispness and best flavor, the soil should be heavily enriched and
well worked before planting. Lettuce being quite hardy, seed may generally be sown as soon
as ground can be fitted, as, while prolonged or continued freezing will kill the plants, they are
but little injured by an ordinary frost. Seed may also be sown in the hotbed in gentle heat,
and the plants, if well hardened by having been often exposed to the air, may usually be set

ij TV 1 “Sweetest Melon Ever Grown.” During the fall of 1915 the first
Honey Hew ivieion Honey Dew Melons were placed on the market. The product
from slightly over two acres netted $3600.00 on the Chicago market. These melons have sold
at wholesale from 35 cents to $1.50 on Eastern Markets. The rind is a dull white when ripe.
Part of the melon shows a slight check in the rind like a tendency to net. This appears
when the melon is ready to pick. The size runs from six to seven inches in diameter from
top to bottom, and eight inches in length. The matured melons are practically all of the same
shape and size. Flesh is a light green and is almost honey sweet. This melon is the best
of all shippers and will keep several weeks, so there is practically no loss from spoiled melons
in shipping. This is one of the best market melons grown. Vines vigorous, and produces
six to ten flne melons to the hill. Oz. 30c; 14 lb. 90c; lb. $3.00.

REMEDY FOR SQUASH, CUCUMBER AND MELON BUGS
Put three or four moth balls on the ground near each hill. (Do not cover moth balls.)
This will drive away the bugs. Also, sow a little buckwheat near the hills and this will also
keep away the bugs. This is a very cheap and easy way of protecting your vines from heavy
annual losses.
MUSHROOM
The Mushroom is an edible fungus of which there are numerous varieties. We handle
the ordinary commercial variety of a creamy white color with loose gills which undem«ith
are of pinkish-red, changing to liver color. The mushroom produces “seed” or spores and
there is developed a white, fibrous substance in broken threads, called spawn, which is
developed and preserved in horse manure, pressed in the form of bricks. Mushrooms can be
grown in cellars, in sheds, in hotbeds or sometimes in the open air, the great essential being
a uniform degree of temperature and moisture. Our space is too limited here to give the
necessary cultural directions, but these are published in book or pamphlet form.
^ newly discovered process of selection

The young seed pods are used in soups, stews, catsups, etc. Highly esteemed in the
South. After danger of frost is past, the ground being warm and in good condition, plant in
rows about two and one -half feet apart, covering with about an inch of fine soil firmly
pressed down. When about three inches high, thin to about one foot apart in the row. Culti-
vate and keep free from weeds. The pods are in best condition for use when from one to three
inches long.
has been cultivated with hoed crops, kept clean from weeds and well manured for two years
previous, because if a sufficient quantity of manure to raise an ordinary soil to a proper
degree of fertility is applied at once, it is likely to make the onions soft. The same result
will follow if we sow on rank mucky ground or on that which is too wet, and it is impossible
to raise either a large or profitable crop on stiff clay, very light sand or gravel.
PREPARATION. — Onions respond well to very liberal manuring. As much as forty loads
of stock manure well composted or one ton of high grade commercial fertilizer per acre
needed will vary with the soil, the seed used and the kind of onions desired. Thin seeding
gives much larger onions than thick seeding. Four or five pounds per acre is the ^ usual
quantity needed to grow large onions. We prefer a drill that sows a very close row.
CULTIVATION. — As soon as the young plants can be seen in the rows give a shallow
working either with rake or some other tool that pulverizes well the whole top soil. Work
the crop again in k few days with a hoe or tool that cuts the ground over, this time as
closely as is possible to the row without injury to the young plants; follow as quickly as possi-
ble with a thorough hand weeding.
Grows to an immense size and for fall marketing is unexcelled. Although
r of such great size, it is very hardy and a fair winter keeper, as it ripens
up hard and firm; very fine grained, and of mild, delicate flavor. The outside skin Is rich
yellow while the flesh is white. To get the best results from this onion the seed is sown in
beds and transplanted. It will, however, make a good crop if sown in the ordinary way.

CULTURE. — Sow seeds in shallow drills in
the early Spring for border, or in rows 12 to 18
inches apart, care being taken that the drills be
not more than one-half inch in depth, and that
the seed be well pressed down after sowing, as
the seed germinates very slowly, three to five
weeks elapsing sometimes before it makes its
appearance. Use one ounce to 150 feet of drill,
three pounds to an acre. Cultivate frequently.

PEAS
Piselll (It.)
For early peas the soil should be light and warm, but for general crop a moderately heavy
soil is better. Fresh manure and very rich or wet mucky soil should be avoided, as they
cause a rank growth of vine at the cost of the quality of the peas; such soil is often th«
cause of early sorts maturing unevenly. Sow as early as possible a few of some early
variety on warm, quick soil, prepared the fall before, planting in double rows six to eight
inches apart and two and one-half to four feet between the double rows. The general crop
can be delayed until later, but we have met with better success from sowing all the varieties
comparatively early, depending for succession upon selecting sorts that follow each other In
maturity. The peas will give quick-er returns if covered only one inch deep and where earli-^
ness is most important they may be treated in that way. Larger pods and more of them will
be produced if the seed be planted in trenches three to six inches deep and covered with only
one or two inches of soil; when the plants are five or six inches high fill the trench level with
the surface; -this will secure deep rooting, prevent mildew and prolong the bearing season. I
If the peas be covered to the full depth at first, or if water be allowed to stand in the
trenches, they will not germinate or grow well. All varieties growing more than one and
one-half feet do better if staked up or brushed when four to six inches high. The support
is an invaluable variety for market gardeners and canners.

pithy. They are easy to grow and frequent plantings will Insure a constant supply for tht
table. Summer varieties can be sown all spring and well into summer. Winter varieties
however, require some time to mature, and the seed should be planted In August and Sep-
tember for good radishes In November and December.

The summer varieties come into use early in the summer, but b^ing sensitive to frost
the seed cannot be sown until late in April. The seed should be planted In hills four feet
apart, using four ounces to 100 hills. The winter varieties are also unable to resist frost, a»d
should be planted at the same time. The fruit does not mature until late In the fall, and,
having a very firm, hard shell, keeps well, and with a little care squashes can be had an
winter and until late in the spring. In gathering winter squashes, it is important to protect
the stems, since if broken off the fruit will not keep so well. Plant in hills six to eight feet
apart, using two or three seeds to the hill. Use eight ounces to 100 hills, or two pounds to
an acre. Moderately rich soil will grow good squashes.
A large golden-yellow variety, thickly warted;
is eighteen inches long, brittle and tender.
This is an improved strain of the old variety and consid-
^ “o^t desirable running variety for both summar
ourpee S roranOOK oquasn and winter use. The vines are of strong, vigorous
growth and wonderfully productive. Fruits oblong in form, eight to ten inches In lengtl^
slightly ridged, smooth thin yellowish skin; flesh very thick and of a light straw yellow. If
gathered young for cooking, no other squash approaches it in flavor, while if allowed to ripen

unsurpassed. Oz. 15c, lb. $1.50.

As tomatoes are very sensitive to frost, they cannot be set in the open field until about
May 1st. The seed must be sown in well protected hotbeds, sowing same about March 1st.
A hardy and stocky plant is had by transplanting the small plants in the bed a few weeks
before transplanting to the field. Or when about four inches high, the top may be pinched
off and the plant grows stoclder.
Sow the seed broadcast, using one ounce to about three square feet of area, which will
yield plants enough to set an acre. In the field set tall varieties six feet apart and dwarf
varieties three feet apart. A slight trellis is advisable in the garden. A moderate amount
of water should be applied at the roots at regular intervals.

While turnips are a favorite fall and winter vegetable, they may also be had in the spring
by proper sowings. They are of easy culture, but need well-worked, rich soil to insure a
quick, uninterrupted growth, when they will be tender and free from woodiness.
For fall and winter use sow the seed in August, in rows 10 to 18 Inches apart, using oiM
ounce to 260 feet of row, thinning the plants when very young to three or four inches apart
For spring use sow in January. For field culture sow in rows about two feet apart, using

FOOD WASTE AND SEED SHORTAGE
This year waste is not merely a misfortune — ^it is a calamity. With the world’s
reserves of food and seeds at the lowest ebb in many years, no one has a right to
waste food, either actual or potential. Potential food waste includes failure to make
a garden where a garden ought to be made. It includes also two other mistakes;
making a garden too big to work successfully and planting any seeds but the best
obtainable. This year avoid waste by having your garden small enough to enable
you to see it through and by planting pure-bred seeds only. Have the yield worth
while both in quantity and quality. Plant Ebeling’s seeds. The best is always the
cheapest regardless of price.

MASTICA FOR GUZIN6 6REENH0USES, SASHES,
Etc., new and old. It is elastic, adhesive and easily
applied. It is not affected by dampness, beat or cold.
Every green house m»n has experienced difficulty in using putty for
glazing, that is satisfactory for any length of time. Putty is not adapted
for greenhouse work. “Mastica,” when applied, in a few hours forms a
skin or film on the entire mass, hermetically sealing the substance, and pre-
venting the evaporation of the liquids, and remains in a soft, pliable and
elastic condition for years. “Mastica” is of great value in going over old
houses with a putty bulb or machine on the outside of sash, as it makes
it perfectly tight and saves the expense of re-laying the glass.
The use of ‘’Mastica” avoids the necessity of repeatedly reglazing the
houses, saving mueh time and expense. With “Mastica” you can bed in or
use outside with machine.
Broken glass can bo easily removed and replaced by new without the
breakage of other glass, which usually occurs with hard putty. One gallon
will cover about 290 running feet (one si4e.)

The Greatest Insecticides
LIME AND SULPHUR— PYROX— ARSENATE OF LEAD
Every spring when the buds are swelling, but before they show green at the tips, all your fruit
trees, vines and shrubs of every kind should be sprayed with our Bowker’s Lime-Sulphur AppU-
eations made later than this may burn the foliage and cause serious injury. Therefore you should
order early and be prepared for the season.
Eiime-Slalpliar is not a poison and kills only by coming directly in contact with the
insect. It does not kill leaf-eating insects. Spray for these with our Pyrox.
Our Lime-Sulphur has fungicidal properties and is Invaluable for use on peaches, plums and
all stone fruits.
It’s in concentrated solution, always ready for Fall, Winter and Spring use. You simply
add spring water and then spray.
— Gravity (Beaume) 32 to 35 ; Calcium Polysulphides and Finosulphate 27.50 to 88.50.
1 gal. 65c.; 5 ga.1. 92.00; lO. gal. 93.50; barrels at 16 cts. per gal.
PYROX— KILLS AND CURES
Pyroz sticks like paint; kills all leaf-eating insects, and pre-
vents disease on potatoes, fruit trees, shade trees, and small fruits and
vegetables. It serves the purpose for which two mixtures were previously
used, and has done so for over ten years. Pyrox is no experiment ; it was
introduced in 1898.
It Won’t Wash Off. If it were not for the new growth coming along,
as- is usually the case with shade trees, fruit trees, shrubs, potato vines,
etc., and which of course must be protected, one spraying would be
enough for the season, tb. 35c, 5 Tbs. $1.50, 10 Tbs. $2.50, 25 Tbs. $6.00, 50

THE JAMES STALLS AND STANCHIONS
The man who depends on his cows for his living, must take advantage of every opportu-
nity to save the time of his hired help and his own time; to prevent waste of feed: to avoid
disease of all kinds; and he must use every proper means of increasing the yield of milk, and
of getting a bigger price for his product.
John Deere-Dain System Loader
The Dain System Loader is of the single cylinder type, e
tremely light draft and at the same time made very strong.

THE JAMES WAY James Watering Buckets
Every daiiyman now realizes that regardless of how well the cow may be fed and cared
for in every other way, the maximum yield of milk cannot be secured unless she has plenty
of water. The old way of watering once a day out in the yard is the most expensive that
could be devised. The cows become very thirsty, and drinking excessively of cold water,
become chilled, and are forced to use up energy getting warm that should have been used in
making milk. But the increase of milk yield is not the only advantage. There is also the
saving of time and labor of the attendants, and, as compared with other methods of watering
in the barn, a saving of water. More important is the prevention of the spreading of con-
tagious diseases through the water, for with the James Watering Buckets each cow is fur-
nished pure, fresh water, direct from the protected supply tank.
THE JAMES CARRIERS
James Carriers are “long life” carriers — built to stand the strain and wear of years —
made to forestall breakages and repairs — made to save the maximum of work and time. "We
are proud of them, believing that each is the best that can be built to meet the specific pur-
poses for which it is designed. And in this belief, we are backed up by hundreds of enthusi-
astic, commendatory letters.
The James Ventilator
The James Ventilator is absolutely storm proof —
neither snow nor rain can enter; nor can birds get
in, all openings being covered with galvanized bird
proof netting.
The James Ventilator with the open base, ventilates
the haymow as well as the stable.
Can’t Afford It
One of the most powerful of all evil influences
affecting the cause of good farming is the state of
mind in the farmer that is constantly saying “I can’t
afford it.” It begets a state of unbelief in better
things, better methods, better cattle, and all kinds of
farm stock, better buildings and better homes.
Before a farmer can take the first step towards
Improvement he has to overcome this ghost that is
constantly before his eyes, “I can’t afford it.” He
never sees the real truth behind that delusion which
is, that he cannot afford to do anything except in a
thorough and painstaking manner.
“CAN’T AFFORD IT” has kept thousands of
The James Way farmers with their noses down to the hard grindstone
of bad, wasteful methods; poor, unprofitable live stock; bad methods of soil cultivation.
In short, it Is the spirit that Is OPPOSED to more than It Is in favor of. AND IN ’THAT
SPIRIT NO FARMER EVER DID GO AHEAD.”— From Hoard’s Dairyman.
CowmatiC Self-Filling, Self-Emptying Fountains
The CowmatiC Fountains are at-
tached directly to the pipes of your
water system just the same as an
ordinary basin, sink or bath tub,
and therefore does away with the
float tank.
They are made single and double,
yet each cup of the double fountain
IS independent and separate, ena-
bling j'ou to set up and connect two
individual cups at one operation.
Each cup has a lid to keep trash
■out, and is connected with an inlet
and outlet valVe within each cup.
Raising the lid closes the outlet
and at the same time opens the in-
let valve, while closing the lid
■closes the inlet valve and opens the
outlet valve. The lid controls the
water and the cow controls the lid
on each inlet valve no matter what
^e pressure may be in the pipes.
The supply inlets are above the
highest water level in the cups.
Each bucket contains an overflow
outlet, so no water can run over
the sides onto the floor. These
fountains enable each cow to turn
clean fresh water into a clean fresh
cup from which she can drink at
any time. Besides furnishing an
abundance of clean fresh water
from clean, fresh, self- emptying
cups, the CowmatiC Fountains ab-
solutely prevent the spread or con-
traction of tuberculosis or other
•diseases through the drinking.

DOUBLE ACTION DISC HARROW
The farmer who realizes the importance of stirring and pulverizing the soil so that the
sun and air and moisture can reach every particle is the man to whom the CLARK’S CUTA-
WAY Double Action — the original double action — means something more than just a disk
harrow. No other disk harrow of any make or style even approaches the CLARK’S CUTA-
WAY Double Action for pulverizing the soil, for saving time, for saving horses, for giving
long service. Its superiority for pulverizing the soil and giving long service has seldom been
questioned.
The rigid main frame is the all-important feature in any double acting harrow. This
frame holds the rear gangs so that the rear disks cannot slew to the furrows cut by the fore
disks, but instead cut midway between where the fore disks have cut, thereby making the
machine pulverize every inch of the soil to the full depth to which the disks run.
The distance from the hitch to the extreme rear end of the harrow is but a little more
than one-half of that on the tandem or trailing harrows, which fact makes the draft from
25 to 50 per cent, less than in other harrows of corresponding size. By the elimination of
the tongue truck we save the buyer from $4.00 to $5.00.

John Deere-Dain System Rake
The Dain System of air curing hay is a distinct
departure from the old method. It has six tre-
mendous advantages which every farmer should
carefully consider:
1st. Ability to follow mower closely.
2nd. Raking while leaves are still active.
3rd. Placing the hay on clean stubble.
4th. Putting the hay in medium size windrows,
with the bulk of the leaves inside and the majority
of the stems outside.
5th. The adjustment of the teeth for the condi-
tion and kind of hay, making the windrows loose in the center for free circulation of
air.
6th. Preserving the form of the loose windrow until the hay is ready to store or
bale, even though it may be necessary to turn it over two or three times on account
©f bad weather conditions.

STORY AND DESCRIPTION OF THE BAR
The Universal Sickle was invented by a man who was employed on a great farm in the
Northwest. He noticed in his daily work in the fields the crudeness and inefiiciency of the
riveted type of bar in use at that time. He noticed that it was necessary to keep a small
blacksmith shop almost continuolly busy on- repair work, re-riveting blades, and tightening
up the loosened bars. He noticed that it was impossible to grind the blades of the bar clear
to the heel, and the result was an uneven cut. He noticed that oftentimes if one blade
became chipped or broken, as a result of sudden strain or running onto a rock, that two or
three of the adjacent blades were loosened. He noticed that the riveted bar had a tendency
to buckle or get out of shape and cause an unnecessary amount of work on the part of a
team of horses or of a motor on a tractor.
HAY CAPS — Insurance Against Wet Weather
The value of keeping your hay dry, and especially. Alfalfa was sharply empha-
sized during the past season of excessive rains, owing to the heavy losses suffered
by our Alfalfa growers in this county, and which ran up into many thousands of
dollars; also proving to be a heavy annual loss due to uncertain weather conditions.
To illustrate* how such losses can be controlled, we need only to refer to the Univer-
sity Farms, when apparent that heroic, measures must be used, the Chancellor used
five hundred hay caps which we ordered by express. This quick action saved the
University from a heavy loss and all of their hay was saved without damage to the
Alfalfa, and which cured perfectly under this cover.

UNADILLA SILO
Unadilla Silos not only excel in ability to convert raw forage into palatable, succulent
silage — the supremest test of a perfect Silo — but a decade of satisfactory service on thou-
sands of farms has unmistakably proved them correct in design, durable in construction and
convenient to fill or feed from.
Roof is made of durable cypress, capped with galvanized iron
ventilator, and fitted with double doors for filling Silo.
Top steel cable anchors, connecting with the middle hoop of
Silo through an equalizing saddle attached to the ground rod,
prevents vibration during high wind storms.
Fasteners being entirely on the doors permits of the latter
being left in the opening at any height, merely pushed up out of
way and conveniently at hand for use.
The unobstructed continuous door opening, 22 inches wide,
enables the feeder to shove ensilage out of Silo, instead of fork-
ing it up two or more feet to clear high doors or cross-braces.
Instead of having to refit the doors to frame, should they
ever shrink or bind, a few turns of the nuts on ends of tie-rods
readjusts frame to fit the doors.
Every hoop on Silo can be taken up 12 inches at the front,
the nuts being close by to a man standing on ladder formed by
the door fasteners.
The door fasteners make a substantial ladder directly under
opening. Rounds are 15% inches apart, stand out 5 inches from
the doors and are 14 inches wide, providing a safe hand and foot
hold.
Base anchors of steel cable hold Silo immovable on its
foundation.

THE OSBORNE WINDROW HAY LOADER
The Osborne is a remarkably simple loader
— in fact, it would be difficult to imagine a
more simple loader. The entire mechanism of
this loader consists of a gathering drum, which
picks up the hay, and and elevator carrier, the
elevator carrier is operated by the gathering
drum.
The gathering drum is fastened to the main
axle and is driven by both wheels. As a
result of this construction, the gathering drum
is raised and lowered with the wheels in pass-
ing over dead furrows and uneven ground.
This insures all the hay being gathered Irre-
spective of the condition of the ground. A
wind break is provided, which prevents the
hay from being blown from the carrier; the
wind break is very effective and automatically
adjusts itself to different conditions of hay.
A tightening device allows the tension of tl»
carrier to be properly adjusted. The Osborne
loader is equipped with a fore carriage which
carries a part of the weight of the loader.
This relieves the loader of the twists and strains which would result were no fore carriage
used. It also makes it unnecessary for the loader to be lifted when being connected to the
wagon, as the hitch may be moved to any position. It permits the driver to disconnect the
loader from the wagon without requiring him to get down off the load. When the load is
complete he simply pulls the rope which extends up to the top of the load from the hook
on the fore carriage. When disconnected from the wagon the loader Is held in an upright
position by the fore carriage. Loader can be used with any height of farm wagon without
any readjusting or changes. ASK FOR PRICKS

CLIMAX OPEN THROAT CARRIER^
With this carrier, it is possible to fill the mow closer
to the comb of the roof than with any other carrier on
the market. The throat has an exceptionally large
opening, and the simple looking mechanism is so ar-
ranged that the lifting head or pulley looks directly on
the sides or frame of the carrier, not depending on
separate dogs or locks to hold the load. It is con-
structed and operated without the use of springs, and
aegages projections upon lifting pulley in a line with
axis of pulley. This permits the pulley to swing very
near the track and enables the carrier to work under
conditions where any other carrier would necessarily
CARBORIJMOUM SCYXHR SXONES
Do away with the grinding of a scythe altogether.
They produce a clean, sharp edge and do it faster and
easier than it could be done on the best grindstone
ever made.
Carborundum Scythe Stones must not be classed
with the ordinary scythe stones that you have been ac-
customed to. The old style stones are merely sand-
stone and are of very little use. They simply RUB the
edge into shape— ^Carborundum CUTS it — cuts it fast

Rolling a Dead Furrow.
In this hillside field, sloping in
two directions, a dead furrow
was plowed to afford drainage.
This, after several years, has
been widened and deepened to a
shallow channel. No plan of
rolling such a field with an ordi-
nary rigid roller would give sat-
isfactory results without much
extra work. Notice how the
Flexible Roller goes down the

LOW 20TH CENTURY MANURE SPREADER
The Low 20th Century is a low down Spreader and has all the advantages that
go with a spreader of loW-down construction. However, the Low 20th Century has
overcome the one great objection in low-down spreaders in that it has sufficient clear-
ance space under the machine to allow it to be used advantageously any place from
which and in which a load can be drawn. The driver absolutely gives no attention to
the clearance feature. The Low 20th Century is high enough to pass over any obstruc-
tion that one would attempt to drive over under ordinary conditions.
The Low 20th Century is manufactured in four sizes. There is a size adapted to
the small truck farm, as well as one for our largest farms.
The Low 20th Century Spreader is strong because it is built of steel; the con-
trolling levers, and even the seat, are steel.
The only wood entering into the construction of the Low 20th Century is in the
sides of the box, the apron slats, the tongue and beater rails. The Low 20th Century
Is built for service and durability; this is the reason for so much steel being put into it.
The Low 20th Century spreads evenly on the turns; it has a differential similar
to that found in the hub of the Osborne Mower wheel, which allows one wheel to hold
the pivot while making short turns without affecting the action of the beaters.

My Dear Mr. Ebeling; — The No. 2 Twentieth Century Low Down Spreader pur-

The Farmers’ Favorite is used for a great
variety of purposes, such as cooking grain and
vegetables for stock and poultry. Heating
water for scalding hogs and poultry. Boiling
spraying mixture. Heating water on wash
day. Heating water for washing dairy uten-
sils. Rendering lard and tallow,
sorghum.
Heating drinking water for stock. Syruping down. Boiling elder. Preserving and evaporating
fruit. Sugaring off. Boiling sap. In addition to the above, by using a top plate in place of the
boiler it converts the cooker into a first-class stove for warming a milk room, hog house,poultry
house, cellar or shop. Can you think of any other farm implement that can be used for so great
a variety of purposes? The farm equipment is incomplete without one of these cookers.

Dear Sir: — The Farmers’ Favorite Feed Cooker purchased of you is a great convenience,
for before we purchased it we had to cook the little potatoes and pumpkins in an old cauldron
kettle hanging on a pole out of doors, with a fire built around it, and we had to cover the •:
kitchen stove with kettles to heat the water to mix the feed for the hogs. When the Cooker . ;
arrived we set it up in one end of the hog house and the fire did not go out till warm
weather. We would not part with the Cooker for twice its cost, and I think it would pay any *
farmer to buy a Cooker even if it cost double what you charge for them. Yours very truly, -r

m DICK^S NEW IMPROVED “BLIZZARD” CUTTER
Hr With Superior Self-Feed Table. Also with Plain Feed Table
we feel safe hi stating that owing to the nximerous points of merit in this combined machine
for cutting, splitting or shredding feed, and elevating.it by means of a pneumatic conveyor
and deflector, the Blizzard excels all others of its class.
The gearing on this improved machine is 50 per cent stronger and has much more wear-
ing surface, while the shafts for feed gears are larger in diameter; in fact all the parts
throughout are made much heavier and stronger, and can stand more strain and extended
service than the’ former style “Blizzard." These machines are now constructed with a third
bearing for main shaft; the important feature of this improvement is that it supports the
main shaft on the outside of belt pulley overcoming the strain of the drive belt, and by this
device it cannot spring the main shaft, which remains absolutely in line with the remaining
two bearings. The feed table can be detached before removing from the machine, by simply
lowering the rear end of the table and lifting it out of its fastenings. We claim that the
“New Improved Blizzard" is ahead of all ensilage and feed cutters on the market today.

O. K. CHAMPION
TWO-HORSE ELEVATOR
POTATO DIGGER
The No. 1 Digger has a front throat which
Is a new departure in digger construction and
exclusively used on our machine. It consists of
patented, specially constructed side plates which
connect with beams that taper downward toward
the front, curving outward along the upper edges and along the top flare. This makes the
throat opening wider than the body of the machine, allowing the dirt to spread and lose itself
more freely when first entering. It also forces the vines and weeds to slide up more easily and
overcome the serious trouble of clogging. The inward extending base to which the shovel Is
bolted makes the opening absolutely rigid and strong. We have sold nearly 600 of these
wonderful No. 1 Diggers in this vicinity. Price $100.00.
O. K. CHAMPION POTATO DIGGER NO. 3 WITH EXTENSION ELEVATOR
This Digger is constructed with the view of producing the best results with the least
mechanism so as to avoid complication and cause as little friction as possible. It is amply
strong for any soil or condition of field; its capacity sufficient, having over fifteen square feet
of separating space. Its simplicity is one of the main features because it lessens the possi-
bility of wear and breakage.
The Elevator is an endless link chain, constructed of %-inch round, high carbon, crucible
analysis spring steel. This is the best material that can be obtained for this purpose. The
links of this chain are alternately raised and lowered, a feature original with O. K. Champion
Diggers, which materially adds to the separating capacity without increasing the resistance
and thereby greatly reducing the power requirements. Two sets of oblong sprocket agitators
are provided which supply the chain with a continuous agitation while in motion. Price $125.00
“HERCULES” POTATO DIGGER— Best and Cheapest
This is the age of progress. Not so
many years ago, the farmer used a

the enterprising and thrifty farmer uses
the “Hercules” Digger, which reaches
under the row of tubers and deposits
them on top of the ground in full view,
reads'- to be picked up into bags or
baskets.
The BEAJNI is made of high grade
steel, with high arch which prevents
clogging. Fitted with adjustable mallea-
ble Clevis which can be set to regulate
the depth.
The SHOVEL is formed to such shape
and set to proper angle to insure getting
under tubers.
The WINGS are rearwardly curved
and elevated to enable them to take the
row up in compact form and as it passes
back to the Trailer Fork it is turned
completely with bottom side up and with
the .trash and roots underneath, expos-
ing the tubers to view. The total width

STANDARD CYPHERS COMBINATION BROODERS
AND COLONY ROOSTING COOPS.
I4AD 1010 Cyphers Unequalled
rUJ\ Apartment Brood-
ers and combina-
tion roosting coops have the same
important ad vant^es over all other
makes that are possessed by Cy-
phers Company’s 1917 incubators,
in that they are flre-proofed and in-
surable, having the first fire insur-
ance inspection label ever granted
on a brooder.
Cypliers 1917 Brooders,
every size and style, are self-regu-
lating. self- ventilating and varmint
proof. The outdoor styles are use-
Elble also as colony coops for the
growing chicks. They are easily and
quickly converted into colony roost-
ing coops by simply taking out the
hover, which is made removable for
that purpose.
B OUXBOOR BROODER.
(Three apartments. Safest and most popular “ Foster
Mother” ever designed.)
OEMAIVD THIS EABEL.
YOUR SAFETY
Form of Brass Label to be found (in
serial number) on every Cyphers Brooder.
All sizes.
I IThis doKble iise of the Cyphers Brooder means
a considerable saving of money. It makes a safe and
comfortable enclosure for the young chicks at night
and saves the buying of a coop for them. These out-
door brooders, on account of their fire-proof construc-
tion, can be used indoors, although we supply a special ,
brooder, Style U, for indoor purposes. All Cyphers
1917 Brooders, both outdoor and indoor, contain either ■
two or three apartments. The popular Style B (shown '
in illustration herewith), contains three apartments— -
first, roomy space under the hover ; second, hover
chamber ; third, well-lighted exercising apartment. x
THEY MOTHER THE CHICKS BETTER THAW A HEW.
An Important Reason for this is found in the great practical advantage possessed by the
entire line of Cyphers Brooders for 1917 in their self -regulating feature. For years the self-regu- f
lator was attached only to the highest priced Cyphers Brooder (Style C), but It was so well received ?
tiiat now It is attached to all Cyphers Company
brooders. It automatically regulates the heat in
the brooder underneath the hover at all times,
whereas in brooders without a regulator the heat
has to be governed by a continuous watching of the
lamp and turning the wick up or down whenever
more or less heat is required.
In Addition to this unequaled line of brood-
ers, we offer separately the Cyphers Company’s
world’s challenge Adaptable Hover. This machin-
ery-made, all- metal, guaranteed fire proof heating
Mid brooding device is suitable to be used anywhfere
that heat is required for brooding chicks or duck-
lings. It can be used in a roosting coop, colony
house, shed, hen house, barn or other building with
or without any additional enclosure for the chicks,
or in a large goods case or organ or piano box.
Is pronounced by thousands of users to be the
best device thus far invented for heating home-
made brooders. Recommended especially for use
In long brooding houses, one hover for each pen.
Adaptable hover is complete in itself, baars insurance label as a separate device, and Is safe to use
anywhere. Weight, boxed for shipment, only 40 pounds.
