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.

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.

of similar form, though not so pointed, but of
equal solidity as the original Jersey Wakefield,
While they grow half again as large, reaching
full size about ten days later. Per Pkt., 10c; oz.,

Danish Ball Head or Cannon Ball Dong'
Stemmed — This is one of the liardiest cab-
bages in cultivalion and endures both frost
and drouth that would destroy other va-
rieties.
Plants rather long-stemmed, but com-
l)act: leaves very smooth, but thick; head
of medium size, round and very solid, be-
ing- the hardest heading' cabbag'e 'we kno-w

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.,

Danver’s Half Dong'--Grown largely on ac-
count of its productiveness and adaptability
to all classes of soil. Tops, medium sized,
coarsely divided. The smooth, handsome
roots are of medium length, tapering uni-
formly to a blunt point; flesh, sweet, crisp,
tender; deep orange in color. Although the
roots of this variety are short, they pro-
duce as large bulk as the longer field sorts
and are more easily harvested. Pkt., 5c;
oz., 10c; 1/4 -lb., 30c; lb., $1.00.
Early Scarlet Horn — The best early kind

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.

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.

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. Its
earliness, compact habit,
large-sized heads and snow-
white color recommend it to

DANISH GIANT — DRY WEATHER CAULIFLOWER
Danish Giant is an early, large, solid white Cauliflowei- than can successfully withstand
a drouth that would prove fatal to other varieties and will thrive splendidly in dry sections,
being peculiarly adapted to their growing conditions, but like all cauliflower must have
rich soil and cultivation to give best results. Danish Giant can also be grown under moist
conditions and is a dependable market variety. Pkt., 25c; ^-oz., 80c; i/^-oz., $1.40; 1 oz., $2.50.
LARSGE ALGIERS

streams, hinder favorable conditions they
increase very rapidly by self-sown seed
and extension of the roots. Pkt., 5c; oz.,
60c; 1/4-lb., $2.00.
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.

White Plume
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.
WMte Cob Cory — An improvement on the
Red Cobbed Cory, as well as being equally
early. The ears are larger, and It has the
further advantage of having both a white
cob and white grain. A splendid market
garden variety, and excellent for the table.

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. As fast as the cucumbers attain suitable size they should be taken from the vine,
whether required for use or not, as their ripening >soon destroys the vine’s usefulness.

PARSLEY
Parsley is very generally used for gar-
nishing, and seasoning soups and stews.
It can be used fresh from the garden, or
dried and rubbed into a fine powder when
it can be bottled for Winter use. It be-
comes finer and more beautifully curled
if cut frequently. As the seed germinates
slowly, it should be soaked a few hours
in warm water, and sown in drills a foot
apart and half an inch deep, as early in
Spring as possible. Thin to three or four
inches apart. Thrives best in deep, rich
soil.

The Parsnip is nutritious and wholesome,
with a sugary sweetness peculiar to itself,
and is desirable both for the table and
stock feeding. It yields a large crop, and
is said to be more valuable for dairy cows
than either the carrot or turnip. As the
seed germinates very slowly, sow as early
in Spring as possible, in drills fifteen
inches apart on deeply cultivated, rich,
loamy soil. Keep clear of weeds and thin
to three or four inches apart. The roots
of the parsnip are improved by freezing.

rows 8 to 12 inches apart, every
week or ten days for a succes-
sion, up to the middle of June,
after which they are but little
used, unless a cool northern spot
can be had, where the ground is
shaded during part of the day.
They should be sown in light,
rich soil, as a crisp Radish can-
not be produced in heavy soils.
Sow also in early fall for late
crops and Winter use. Sow 8 to
10 lbs. to the acre. Radishes
should be eaten quite small; it
is a mistake to let them grow
too long and too large. This
applies particularly to the French
Breakfast and small turnip-shap-
ed sorts.

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;

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

Thresh like wheat, only not so closely.
Can be feed whole, rolled like barley, or

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

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.

HIGH GRADE FERTILIZERS— Continued
PRICES SUBJECT TO CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE
VEGETABLE FERTILIZERS
This is an all-round fertilizer, which can
be used on any crop. It is used quite ex-
tensively by our leading market gardeners,
and we recommend it very highly for the
garden and farm crops. Use 5 pounds
100 square feet.
Analysis: Nitrogen 2.85 per cent; Phos-
phoric acid 11.55 per cent; Potash 2.00
per cent.
Quantity per Acre
Vegetables and berries 400 to 600 lbs.
Grain 300 to 400 lbs.
Price: 10 lbs., 55c; 100 lbs., $4.00.
LAWN AND ROSE FERTILIZER
It promotes a vigorous and healthy
growth, giving the desired dark rich green
appearance, it can be applied at the time
the seed is planted and later as a top
dressing; one hundred pounds is sufficient
for an ordinary city lot, and is far more
effective and less objectionable than stable
manure. Remember it contains no weed
seeds. When used as a top dressing it is
best to make several light applications
about two weeks apart. Use 5 pounds to
100 square feet. Price: 10 lbs., 55c; 100
lbs., $4.25.
TANKAGE
Ground meat scraps and bone, dessicated
in a vacuum, is very rich in phosphoric
acid and nitrogen. Use 5 pounds to 100
square feet; per acre, same as General
Fertilizer. Price: 10 lbs., 55c; 100 lbs.,
$4.00.
Write for Special Quotations on Iiarge
Quantities.
SHEEP GUANO
Pure pulverized sheep manure is the
most nutritious of the animal fertilizers.
It promotes steady and rapid growth. We
recommend it very highly for use in green-
houses, as well as for garden purposes.
USE — For Flowers, Roses and Lawns,
apply at any time — just prior to growing
season being preferable — using at the rate
of one ounce to the square foot.
Price: 10 lbs., 30c; 100 lbs., $2.00.
BONE MEAL
Fine ground, is one of the best fertil-
izers. This is the only grade of Bone
Meal, and is reduced by improved ma-
chinery to an even fineness — nothing is
added. This is a very valuable enricher
of the soil, and one of the most econom-
ical at present prices. Price: 10 lbs., 55c;
100 lbs., $4.25.
NITRATE OF SODA
For immediate results Nitrate of Soda
is the very best for stimulating and forc-
ing the growth of plants or any other
crop. Use one pound to a ten-quart pail
of water. Apply this in small amounts
some little distance from the plant. Re-
peat in from twenty to thirty days. Price:
10 lbs., 65c; 100 lbs., $5.25.
SUPERPHOSPHATE
This is a concentrated form of phos-
phoric acid, and it is actually the cheap-
est form in which to buy phosphoric acid.
Our present stock contains 17 to 18 per
cent, available phosphoric acid. Price; 10
lbs., 35c; 100 lbs., $2.50.
GROUND LIME ROCK
This is the best form of lime for sweet-
ening sour soil. It is fully as effective
as air-slacked lime, is more convenient
and less expensive. Price: 100 lbs., $1.15.

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.

6 to 2 inches, and all above are 4 inches. This
makes the fence tight at the bottom, where
needed for small chicks. This fence will fit any
unevenness of ground, and because of its
strength and construction requires no top or
bottom rail and only half as many posts as
the ordinary wire netting. It is thoroughly gal-
vanized and will last for years. The wires are
not mutilated in weaving. Easy to handle, easy
to build and easy to move.

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

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.

BEID COBBUGATED MI1.K COOI.EB
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.

interior arrangement of Beid’s Corru-

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

Bouden’s Wood Bined Stanchion, shown by Fig. 937, is decidedly the best stanchion of
class on the market. The latch is exceedingly simple. 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.

The John Deere Steel Gang is built to meet the plowing requirements of the Pacific
Coast and the great wheat districts of the “Inland Empire.’’ In these territories, plowing
conditions are more difficult than in most other sections of the country; therefore, an un-
usually strong plow is required to give satisfactory service for any length of time.
The John Deere Steel Gang has this strength without unnecessary weight. It is made
entirely of steel, doing away with breakable castings and bendable pipes. The design and
construction are so simple that there is nothing to get out of order, no matter how many
horses are used, or what the soil conditions may be.

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.”

In the Deere Universal Steel Lever Harrow we offer a tool which is entitled to great
favor. The Tooth Bars are made of U-bar steel, which insures strength without useless
weight. 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. Harrow is also provided with a spring trip, which preserves the
teeth when using this harrow in stony or rooty ground.

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

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.

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:

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,

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.

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.

CASE 10-18— A 2-3 PLOW TRACTOR
The Case 10-18 is an ideal size for small or largre farms. It pulls two 14-inch plows in
hard and tough soil or three 12-inch bottoms under favorable conditions. Pulls a 7 or 8
foot tandem disc harrow, a 5 section spike tooth harrow, a 22-shoe grain drill, two 6-foot
binders or the largest manure spreader. Being light in weight prevents soil packing and
makes it well suited for seeding and discing. It is ideal for road work, pulling a Case

large baling press, small busker or sheller, feed mill, wood saw, concrete mixer and a
dozen and one other belt driven machines. The Case 10-18 is really an “all year round"
tractor, i-eady to perform the many tasks to which it is so well adapted.
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.

THE MYERS’ LOW DOWN DOUBLE-ACTING EOBCE
TANK PUMP
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.

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.

PRICE LIST, FEBRUARY 10, 1921
The prices named in this catalog, and including those on this price sheet,
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 re-
fund made according to price. As seed prices usually advance on many items,
toward the planting season, it will be to your advantage to order early. On
implements, we do not anticipate or expect any decline in price changes for
some time, therefore, we feel that you should not hesitate in purchasing such
goods as you may need.

prevents total destruction by fire. Rotting

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-
