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

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

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.

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.

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 
for  general  use.  It  is  larger  than  the  for- 
cing variety,  but  fully  as  good  in  quality, 
and  produces  a much  larger  crop.  Pkt.,  5c; 
oz.,  15c;  1/4 -lb.,  40c;  lb.,  $1.25. 

Oxhear-t — A thick  carrot,  five  or  six  inches

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. 
Every  dairyman  who  wants  a big  crop  of 
carrots  of  the  right  quality  and  easy  of 
culture  should  plant  our  Yellow  Giant.  Pkt.,

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 
every  grower  as  a vaiiety 
of  special  mei’it.  We  have 
an  extra  selected  stock  of 
this  sort,  and  recommend  it 
with  the  greatest  confidence.

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

much  used  with  lettuce,  to  which  its  warm, 
pungent  taste  make  an  agreeable  addition.

16  inches  apart,  on  very  rich  ground,  and 
the  plants  well  cultivated.  It  may  be 
planted  very  early.  Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  15c;  ^-Ib., 
40c;  lb.,  $1.25. 


True  Water 

One  of  the  most  delicious  of  small  salads, 
and  should  be  planted  whei’ever  a suitable 
place  can  be  found.  The  seed  should  be 
sown  and  lightly  covered  in  gravelly,  mucky 
lands,  along  the  borders  of  small,  rapid

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.,

CELERY— Continued 


Grolden  Yellow  Self -Blanching' — This  is  no  doubt 
the  b'-'St  celery  for  early  spring  market  use. 
Plants  of  a yellowish  green  color  when  young, 
but  as  they  mature  the  inner  stems  and  leaves 
lurn  a beautiful  golden  yellow,  which  adds  much 
to  their  attractiveness  and  makes  the  work  of 
blanching  much  easier.  French  grown.  Pkt.,  10c; 
oz.,  45c;  Vi-lh.,  $1.40. 

Winter  Queen — This  is  without  doubt  the  most 
valuable  variety  of  celery  for  winter  and  spring 
use  ever  introduced.  Has  double  the  amount  of 
heart  of  any  known  celery.  The  plant  has  a fine 
appearance,  of  compact  growth,  and  blanches  to 
a beautiful  cream-white.  Ribs  perfectly  solid, 
crisp  and  a delicious  nutty  flavor. 

Stored  for  winter  or  spring  use,  it  is  an  excel- 
lent keeper  and  when  taken  out  the  blanched 
stalks  will  be  firm  and  crisp;  entirely  free  from

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. 
Pkt.,  15c;  lb.,  25c;  10  lbs.,  $2.35. 


Early  White  Cory,  Mammoth— The  stalks 
are  no  larger  than  'those  of  the  White  Cob 
Cory,  but  each  stalk  furnishes  two  or  more 
large,  fine-shaped  ears,  which  are  fit  for 
use  before  those  of  most  other  sorts.  The 
ears  are  12-rowed,  very  symmetrical  and 
handsome.  The  grain  is  large,  broad,  very 
white,  and  of  remarkably  good  quality. 
Pkt.,  15c;  lb.,  25c;  10  lbs.,  $2.35. 

Early  Evergreen — An  improvement  on 
Stewell’s  similar  in  appearance  and  general 
character,  but  a week  or  ten  days  earlier, 
and  remaining  fit  for  use  somewhat  later 
than  that  well-known  sort;  equal  to 
Stowell’s  in  all  other  respects.  Pkt.,  15c; 
lb.,  25c;  10  lbs.,  $2.35.

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.

ffavor  of  both.  The  edible  part  is  a turnip- 
shaped bulb  formed  by  the  swelling  of  the 
stem.  Kohl  Rabi  is  far  superior  to  cab- 
bage or  turnips  in  the  delicacy  of  its 
ffavor,  and  is  a splendid  addition  to  every 
garden.  It  should  be  eaten  before  growth 
ceases.

be  maintained  from  53  to  60  degrees  F., 
and  that  the  moisture  be  properly  regu- 
lated. Lambert’s  Pure  Culture  Spawn  is 
far  superior  to  the  old-style  varieties,  and 
much  better  results  can  be  obtained  from 
its  use.  The  bricks  should  be  broken  into 
pieces  about  two  inches  square  and  planted 
from  10  inches  to  a foot  apart.  Bricks 
weigh  from  18  to  24  ounces.  A brick  will

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

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.

CUIiTUHE — Peas  can  be  grown  in  every  garden,  but  for  the  earliest  varieties  a light, 
warm,  moderately  rich  soil  is  most  suitable.  The  smooth  kinds  can  be  sown  as  soon  as 
the  ground  can  be  worked,  but  the  wrinkled  varieties  should  not  be  planted  till  it  is 
warmer,  or  they  will  rot.  Sow  in  single  or  double  rows  from  1 to  3 feet  apart,  dropping 
a pea  every  inch  and  covering  from  2 to  3 inches  deep.  For  a succession  sow  every  ten 
days  up  to  July.  Sow  one  quart  to  50  feet  drilled;  IV2  to  2 bushels  to  an  acre. 


EARLY  PEAS 

AliASKA,  OR  RARIcIEST  OP  AIiXi- — -By  careful  selection  and  growing  we  have  developed 
a stock  of  this  smooth  blue  pea  of  unequaled  evenness  in  growth  of  vine  and  early 
maturity  of  pods  which  are  filled  with  medium  sized,  bright  green  peas  of  good  flavor.

AMERICAN  WONDER — The  earliest  of  the  dwarf,  wrinkled  varieties,  vines  branching, 
about  ten  inches  high  and  covered  with  well  filled  pods  of  medium  size,  containing  five 
to  eight  large,  exceedingly  sweet,  tender  and  well  flavored  peas.  A great  favorite  for 
planting  in  the  small  garden  on  account  of  its  short,  compact  grow'th.  We  have  taken 
great  pains  in  growing  our  stock  and  know^  it  to  be  much  better  than  that  usually  sold.

spects is  cultivated  in  same  manner  as 
cucumbers.  Avoid  planting  near  other

ches in  diameter;  round  flattened;  skin,

Early  Scarlet  Turnip  (White 
Tipped) — An  exceptionally  fine 
strain  so  largely  grown  by  mar- 
ket gardeners.  Its  color  is  of 
(he  deepest  scarlet  with  a prom- 
inent white  tip;  superb  flavor. 
Pkt.,  5c;  oz.,  10c;  i/i-lb.,  30c;  lb., 
$1.00. 

Early  Scarlet  Turnip — One  of 

the  standard  sorts  for  general

ground  is  dry  in  the  Spring,  in 
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

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; 
Write  for  Prices  in  Quantities. 

GRAY  WINTER 

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

BEARDLESS  BARLEY 

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

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

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

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

Green,  or  Bluebell — The  seed  is  larger 
than  the  Yellow  Canadian,  and  it  has  a 
bluish  color,  but  is  very  similar  in  all 
other  respects.  Per  lb.,  10c;  Write  for 
Prices  in  Quan-tities. 


splendid  grain  and  lots  of  rich  straw  hay. 
Thresh  like  wheat,  only  not  so  closely. 
Can  be  feed  whole,  rolled  like  barley,  or 
ground.  Per  lb.,  6c;  100  lbs.,  $5.50. 

WHEAT 

BLUE  STEM — Spring 

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

RED  RUSSIAN — Winter 

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

VETCHES  OR  TARES 
Greatest  Forage  Plant 

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

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

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


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


Japanese — Ripens  early — is  hardy  and 
yields  the  largest  crops.  The  grains  are 
extra  large,  dark  brown,  very  thin  hulled 
and  makes  the  highest  grade  of  flour. 
Good  seed  stock  has  been  very  scarce  for 
several  seasons,  but  we  now ‘have  a fine 
Jot  which  we  can  offer  at  a verv  low  price

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Burns  Coal  Oil — Has  a clean,  steady  blue  flame  that  gives  an  abundance  of

'THE  52.incli  GrAIiVANIZED  STEEE  HOVER  will  care  for  any  number  of  chicks  up  to  1000. 

THE  WICKLESS  BURNER  has  a visible  oil  feed  that  is  easily  regulated  and  controlled. 
The  oil  container  is  glass  and  is  outside  of  the  hover — the  oil  being  fed  to  the  light- 
ing ring  in  the  center  of  the  hover  only  as  needed  and  cannot  become  heated  or 
ignited  by  the  burner. 

THE  VENTILATOR  in  the  top  carries  out  the  foul  air  and  keeps  the  air  in  the  hover  fresh 
and  well  ventilated.  It  also  allows  ready  access  to  the  heater  without  raising  the  hover. 

THE  RELIABLE  has  proven  safe  and  dependable,  is  well  made  and  we  recommend  it  as 
being  the  most  satisfactory  of  the  oil  burning  hovers.  Wgt.  packed  48  lbs.  Price  $27.50

LACTEIN  FOR  POULTRY 

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

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

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

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

Prices:  5 gallons,  $4.25;  10  gallon  keg,  $7.75;  Vz-bbl.,  $17.50;  bbl.,  $31.20.

MILK  MASH 

SHOULD  BE  EVERY  CHICK’S  FIRST  FEED 

BLATCHFORD’S  Milk  Mash  is  the  favored  starting  and  grow- 
ing feed  of  the  most  prominent  poultry-raisers  in  the  country. 
It  contains  all  the  feeds  and  nutriment  chicks  need  right  from 
the  start  It  shields  them  from  white  diarrhea,  bowel  trouble 
and  leg  weakness. 

This  mash  is  neither  a tonic  nor  a medicine 
but  a nutritious,  wholesome,  palatable  body- 
builder. It  promotes  health, vitality  and  growth 
by  building  up  sturdy,  disease-resistant  frames. 

It  does  not  force,  but,  by  supplying  proper 
nourishment  to  each  and  every  part  of  the 
body,  promotes  steady  and  complete  develop- 
ment in  the  shortest  possible  time. 

It  contains  no  screenings,  hulls  or  cheap  by- 
products from  the  manufacture  of  breakfast 
foods,  cereal  foods  or  scratch  grains.  It  carries 
chicks  all  the  way — starts,  grows  and  matures 
— without  change  of  feed. 

This  is  the  safest,  the  most  economical  and  the  best  starting  and  growing  feed  on  the  market.  Use  it,

> Egg  Mash 

TSiE  STANDARD  OF  PERFECTION  IN  EGG  MASHES 

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

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

THE  STANDARD  SPRAY  PUMP 


The  Standard  Spray  Pump 
is  in  reality  simply  a vei-y 
carefully  designed  and  accur- 
ately made  “Squirt  Gun,”  pro- 
vided with  a proper  outfit  of 
nozzles. 


Its  plan  of  operation  is  slightly  different  from  other  types  of  spraying  appar- 
atus, since  the  hose  is  used  on  the  suction  end  instead  of  the  discharge  end.  Th 
makes  it  possible  to  use  the  pump  with  a bucket,  barrel,  tank  or  knapsack,  d 
pending  upon  the  number  of  trees  or  the  kind  of  spraying  to  be  done. 

For  bucket  use  a 3V2-foot  length  of  hose  is  supplied.  To  use  H wUh  barrel  or 
tank  for  a large  orchard,  a longc’-  house  up  to  25  or  30  feet  is  desirable. 


Standard  Pump  with  “Potato”  Extension 
and  No,  3 Nozzle  Attached  to  Knapsack 


For  spraying  young  or  scat- 
tered trees  or  truck  crops 
such  as  potatoes,  tobacco, 
etc.,  the  knap  sack  and  short 
extension  are  used.  With  these 
attachments,  the  Standard  will 
spray  potatoes  one  row  at  a 
time*  at  the  rate  of  an  acre 
an  hour  or  better. 


The  Standard  is  made  en- 
tirely of  brass.  No  Leather 
Packings.  No  Iron  Castings 
to  rust  or  decay.  Nothing  to 
get  out  of  order.

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

much  you  should  at  least  have  a strip  for

it  costs  you,  in  getting  straight,  even 
combs.  You  can  use  a starter  any  width

or  prepare  the  next  case 
for  filling.  When  the  bot-

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-

1 metal,  nickel-

cur bottles  and  they  are  perfectly  annealed,  which  means  your  breakage  will  be  reduced 
to  a minimum. 

Third — Perfectly'  smooth  linish  at  top  for  caps.  There  are  no,  sharp  dges  to  cut  brush 
handles,  or  checks  in  the  glass  to  chip  off,  as  our  bottles  are  absolutely'  smooth  and  make 
a perfect  fit  for  the  caps.

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.

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

Each  Cooler  is  Furnished  With  Milk 
Beservoir,  Faucet  for  Water  Barrel,

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

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.”

John  Deere  Universal  Steel  Lever  Harrow 


TEETH  PERPENDICULAR  POR  PULVERIZING 

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.

We  can  also  furnish  larger  size  harrows. 


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

SPRING  TOOTH  AND  ONE-HORSE  DISC  HARROWS 


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

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

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

The  Imperial  One-Horse  Disc  Harrow  is  a light  weight,  low

two  horses.  Few,  if  any,  one-horse  disc  harrows  other  than  the 
Imperial  have  two  levers  for  adjusting  the  gangs  inde- 
pendently. The  gangs  can  be  set  for  out-throw,  as 
shown  in  illustration,  or  extended  and  reversed  and  used 
as  an  inthrow  harrow  or  straddle  row  cultivator.  The 
frame  is  made  of  steel  angle  bars,  very  strong,  light 
and  rigid.  Discs  are  of  lirst  grade  hard  steel,  16  inches 
in  diameter.  Cleaning  scrapers  are  regular  equipment.

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

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

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

This  harrow  is  stocked  in  one  size  only:

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

JOHN  DEERE  MODEL  B DISC  HARROW 


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

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

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

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

without  burying  the  harrow  in  the  center. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

WITH  YIELDING  LOCK 

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

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

FIiEXIBIiZ: — DOBS  A COMFIiDTE  JOB  OF  DISKING 

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

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.

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,

ROOT  CUTTERS 

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

FIG  2 


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

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

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

NO.  4 AND  45  STOVER  FEED  GRINDING  MlhLS 


No.  4 and  45  Stover  Peed  Grindingr  Mill 


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

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

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

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

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

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 
No.  3 road  grader  or  a pair  of  road  drags.  For  general  hauling  it  handles  easily  from 
5 to  10  tons  depending  on  road  and  grade  conditions.  It  drives  a Case  20x28  thresher  with

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.

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

Universal  Fump  Jack 


UNIVERSAL  PUMP  JACK 


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

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.

THRESHING 


MACHINES 


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

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

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

We  suggest  you  place  your  order  for  a Case  thresher 
as  early  as  possible^  If  you  buy  a Case  you  will  bo 
satisfied.  Come  in  and  let’s  talk  it  over.
