We issue! a 48-page book entitled "Practical Experience With Barnyard Manures." which explains the whole situation. Our Plan is not a theory. It is an actual fact, backed up by actual experiments extending over a period of 18 years. To give you an idea of what this book contains, we show result of experi ments made with various crops where 5 loads of manure were spread per acre by the. old method, and 5 loads by the new method, on corn ground. The latter shows a gain of $4.80 per acre. : On another field and in another state, it shows a gain of S5.60 per acre, and on a clover and timothy meadow, a gain of $8.00 per acre. ' .

It it doesn't do you any good, it won't do you any harm. t Write us bow and let us mail it to yon. It is brimming full of valuable information. - - . - Endless Apron Manure Spreader Spreads all kinds of manure, straw stack bot toms andcommercial fertilizer regardless of their condition. Sfrrads as muck in et day as IS men can by hand. Spreads the largest load in 2 to 4 minutes. Makes the same amount of manure go three times as fur and produce better results; makes all manure fine and immediately avail able for plane life. Non-Bunchable Rake forms a hopper, holds all hard chunks in contact with beater until thoroughly pulverized. Endless Apron is one continuous apron, (not a J. apron) therefore always re.idy to load. You don't have to drive a certain distance to pull it back into position after each load or wind it back by hand ; it i a great advantage in making long hauls. - There la no Gearing about our Endless Apron to break and cause trouble, it is always up out of the way of obstructions as it does not extend below axle. Spreads evenly from start to finish and cleans ont perfectly clean. Hood and End Gate keeps manure away from beater while loading; prevents choking of beat er and throwing out a bunch when starting and acts as wind shield when spreading.

The team is as near the load as it can work. Front and rear axles are the same length and wheels track; beater shaft runs in. ball and socket bearings, therefore no friction. Beater is 23 inches in di ameter, seat turns over when loading. Machine turns in its own length. Simplicity. There are only two levers on our machine. One which raises the hood, locks it and throws the machine in gear at the same time. It can then be thrown in and out of gear without lowering the hood. One lever which changes feed to spread thick or thin, making it so simple that a boy who can drive a team can handle it.

ThiJti YcillaiV'Afeajwv&sg&t Stgnatorwof CASTORtA f in. .l v ;"r.;.s;-;; Lincoln's "When Mr. Lincoln first came to New Salem be employed a woman to make Mm a pair of pantaloons, which, proba bly from the scarcity of material, we cut entirely too short, as his garments usually were.: Soon afterward the wo man's brother came to town, and she pointed Abe ont to him as he walked along the street The brother's nam was James Short ..' "Without the necessity of a formal lntroduction,w says Short, "we fell in together and struck up a conversation, ; the purport of which I have now for gotten. He made a favorable impres-. sion. upon me by his conversation oc first acquaintance through his intelli gence' and sprightliness, which impres-; sion was deepened from time to time as I became better acquainted with him." . ' 'v - 'A Great Com Husker. . -,.J This was a lucky Impression for Abe. Short was a fast friend, and in the day of trouble a sure and able one. At the ' time the judgment was obtained Shorl lived on the sand ridge, four miles from New Salem,, and Lincoln . was in the habit of walking' out there almosl daily. Short was then unconscious ol " the main reason of Mr. Lincoln's re markable devotion to him., There .was a, lady in the house whom Lincoln se-s. cretly but earnestly loved. If the host had known, however, poor, Abe would have been equally welcome, for he made himself a strangely agreeable guest here, as he jiid. everywhere else. , In busy times he pulled off his round about and helped Short in the field with more energy than any hired man would have displayed. ''He was," said Short, "the best hand at husking corn on the, stalk I. ever saw.- I used to consider" myself very good, but he would gather two loads to my one." These visits increased Short's dispo sition to help him, and it touched him sorely when he heard Lincoln moaning, about the catastrophe that hung oves him in the form of .Van Bergen's judg ment "An execution was issued," says he, ''.and levied on Lincoln's horse, sad dle, bridle, compass,; chain and other surveyor's instruments. He was then very; much .discouraged and said-.ihe would let the whole thing go by the board. 5 He was at my, house very much half the time. I did all I could to, put him In better spirits. I went on the de livery bond with him, and when the, sale came off, which , Mr. . Lincoln did not attend, I bid in the above property at $120t and immediately gave it up again to him. Mr. Lincoln afterward repaid me . when he had . moved to Springfield. Greene also turned in on this judgment his horse, saddle and bridle at $125, and Lincoln afterward repaid him." But, after all, Mr. Lincoln had no friend more Intimate than Jack Arm strong and none that valued him more highly. Until he fitlly left New Sa lem for Springfield he "rusticated" oc casionally at Jack's hospitable cabin, situated "four miles In the country," as the polished metropolitans of New Sa lem would say. Jack's wife Hannah, before alluded to, liked Abe and en joyed his visits not less than Jack did. "Abe would come out to our house," she says, "drink milk, eat mush, corn bread and butter, bring the children candy and rock the cradle while I got him something to eat I foxed his pants and macle his shirts. IT? hns jror.e with us to father's. He would tall sto ries, joke people, girls and boys, at par ties. He would nurse babies do any thing to accommodate anybody. I had no books about my house ; loaned him none. We didn't thi"fc about books and papers. We worked; had to live. Lincoln has stayed at our house two or three weeks at a tim." Yet Jack frequently came to town, ".here his sportive incli nations ran riot except as they were checked and regulated by the amicable Interposition of Abe, the prince of hla affections and the only man who was competent to restrain him. Lincoln's Kind Heart. The children at school had made a wide sliding walk from the top of Sa lem hill to the river bank, a distance of 250 or 300 yards. Now,- It was one of the suggestions of Jack's passion for Innocent diversion to nail up in hogs heads such of the population as In curred his displeasure and send them adrift along this frightful descent Sol Spears and one Scanlon were treat ed to an adventure of this kind, but the hogshead In which the two were caged leaped over an embankment and came near killing Scanlon. After that the sport was considered less amusing and was very much discouraged by that portion of the community who feared that in the absence of more convenient victims, the boys might light on them. Under these circumstances Jack, for once In his life, thought It best to aban don coercion and negotiate for subjects. He selected an elderly person of bibulous;, proclivities and. tempted him wtth a, great temptatlod- 'Oia man' Jor dan afreed to be rolled down the hill for a gallon of wtitstyi ' bfci&cata2 r"Wresed. with thellttjK c the puijme and tttrOaaser to ftre old mi 1 ii ! i M pry WUjUWU K. WARD HILL LAM ON, His Friend Partner eaid Bodyguard , Birthplace T remember once," says Mr." Ellis, "of seeing Mr. Lincoln out of temper and laughing at the same time. It was at New Salem. The boys were having a jollification after' an election. - They had a large fire made of slftivlngs and hemp stalks, and some of the boys made a bet with a fellow that I shall call Ike that he couldn't run his little bobtail pony through the fire. Ike took them up and , trotted s his pony back about a hundred yards to give him a good start, as he said. The boys all formed a line on either side to make way for Ike and his pony. Presently here he came, full tilt with his hat off,' and, just as he reached the blazing fire, Ike raised in his saddle for the jump straight ahead. But the pony was not of the same opinion, so he flew the track and pitched poor Ike into the de vouring element Mr. Lincoln saw it and ran to his assistance, saying, 'You have carried this thing far enough.', 1 could see he was mad, though he could not help laughing himself. The poor fellow was considerably scorched aboul the head and face. Jack Armstrong took him to 'the doctor, who shaved his head to fix him up and put salve" on the burn. I think Mr. Lincoln was a little mad at Armstrong, and Jack himself was very sorry for it. Jack gave Ike neSt morning a dram, his breakfast and a sealskin cap and sent him home." One cold winter day Lincoln saw a poor fellow named Ab Trent hard at work chopping up a house which Mr. Hill had employed him to convert into firewood. Ab was barefooted and shiv ered pitifully while he worked. Lin coln watched him a few moments and asked him what he was to get for the job. Ab answered, "One dollar," and, pointing to his naked and suffering feet said that he wished to bay a pair of shoes. Lincoln seized the ax and, ordering the boy to comfort himself at the near est fire, chopped up the house so fast that Ab and the owner were both amazed when they saw it done. Ac cording to Mr. Rutledge, "Ab remem bered this act with the liveliest grati tude. Once he, being a cast iron Dem ocrat determined to vote against bis party and for 1 Mr. : Lincoln, but the friends, as be; afterward - said, with tears In his eyes, made him drunk, and lie had voted against Abe. Thus he did not even have an opportunity to return the noble conduct of Mr. Lincoln by this small measure of thanks." . ... Champion of the Oppressed. . We have given some Instances of Mr. Lincoln's unfailing disposition to suc cor the weak and the unfortunate. He never seems to have hesitated on ac count of actual or fancied danger to himself, but boldly espoused the side of the oppressed against the oppressor, whoever, or whatever the latter might be. In a fisticuff or a rough and tumble fight he was one of the most formidable 1 men of the region In which he lived. It trnk n hler hmllv and n nerseverln nn ! to force him into. a collision; but, being in, his enemy found good reason to be ware of him. He was cool, calculating, but swift in action and terribly strong. Nevertheless he never promoted a quarrel and would be at Infinite trouble any time to compose one. An unneces sary broil gave him pain, and whenever there was the slightest hope of suc cessful mediation,-, whether by soft upeech or by the strong hand, he was Instant and fearless for peace. His good nature, his humor, his fertility in expedients and his alliance, offensive and defensive, with Jack Armstrong made him almost irresistible in his be- aevolent efforts to keep the ordinary ruffian of New Salem within decent bounds. If he was talking to Squire Godbey or Row Herndon (each of them gives in cidents of the kind), and he heard the sounds or saw the signs which betoken a row In the street he would jump up, saying, 'Let's go and stop it" He would push through the ring which was generally formed around the combat ants and, after separating the latter, would demand a truce and "a talk," and so soon as he got them to talking the victory was his. If it happened to be rough Jack himself who was at the bottom of the disturbance, he usually became very much ashamed of his con duct and offered to treat " do any thing else that would atone for his bru tality. Lincoln has often been seen in the old mill on the river bank to lift a box of ctones weighing from a thousand to twelve hundred pounds. Of course It was not done by a straight lift of the hands. He was harnessed to the box with ropes and straps. . It .was even said he could easily raise a barrel of whisky to his mouth when standing upright and take a drink but of the bungbole, but of course one cannot be lieve It -; Frequent exhibitions of such strength doubtless had much, to do with his unbounded Influence over, the rough er chuM of men., .: j T -m-t; -Heposessed'Jthej4' of -mind in a '"degree 'so eminent, and it wiw-eo-'rinlversally recognised, that be never could attend a hone race wUhotri fakinet tnmortooed to act.aja tiaJ xt witnees VKt without assumingtSe re sponsibility of a stake holder. The Fairest Man. " "In the spring or summer of 1S32," says Henry McHenry, "I had a horse jace i with George Warburton. I got Lincoln, who was at the race, to be a judge of the race, much against, his will and after hard persuasion.- Lincoln decided correctly, and the other judge said: 'Lincoln is tie fairest man I evei had to deal with. If Lincoln is in this county when I die, I want hiru to be my administrator, for he is the only man I ever met with that was wholly and unselfishly honest.'" His ineffable purity in determining the - result of a scrub race had actually set his col league to thinking of his latter end. But Lincoln endured another annoy ance much worse than this. He was sc genero,'y esteemed and so highly ad miret. aat, when any of his neighbors had a fight in prospect, one of the par ties was sure to insist upon his acting as his second. Lincoln was opposed tc fights, but there were some fights that had to be fought &ud these were set a day fixed and the neighborhood noti fied. In these cases there was no room for the offices of a mediator, and when the affair was preordained and must come off Mr. Lincoln had no excuse foi denying the request of a friend. . "Two neighbors, Harry Clark and Ben Wilcox," says Mr. Rutledge, "had had a lawsuit The defeated declared that, although he was beaten in the suit he could whip his opponent This was a formal challenge and was at once carried to the ears of the victoi (Wilcox) and as promptly accepted. ,The time, place and seconds were cho sen with due regularity, Mr. Lincoln being Clark's and John Brewer Wil cox's second. The parties met, stripped themselves all but their breeches, went in, and Mr. Lincoln's principal was beautifully whipped. During this per formance the second of the party op posed to Mr. Lincoln remarked, 'Well, Abe, my man has whipped yours, and I can whip you. Now, this challenge came from a man who was very small in size. Mr. Lincoln agreed to fight provided he would chalk out his size on Mr. Lincoln's person and every blow struck outside of that mark should be counted foul. After this sally there was the best possible humor and all parties were as orderly as if they had been engaged in the most harmless amusement" In 1834 Lincoln was again a candi date for the legislature and this time was elected by a larger majority than any other man on the ticket. By this time the party with .which he acted in the future was "discriminated as Whig," and he did not hesitate to call himself a Whig, although he sought and received the votes of a great many Democrats. . ., , . Just before the time had arrived for candidates to announce themselves he wept to John T. Stuart and told him the Democrats wanted to run him. He made the same statement to Ninian W. Edwards. Edwards and. Stuart . were both his personal and political friends, and they , both advised him to let the Democrats have their way. Major Stu art's advice was certainly disinterest ed, for, In pursuance of it, two of the Whig candidates, Lincoln and Dawson, made a bargain with the Democrats which very nearly proved fatal to Stu art himself. He was at that time the favorite candidate of the Whigs for the legislature, but the conduct of Lincoln and Dawson so demoralized the party that his vote was seriously diminished. Up to this time Sangamon had been stanchly Democratic. But even In this election of 1834 we perceive slight evi dences of that party's decay, and so early as 1836 the county became thor oughly Whig. We shall give no details of this cam paign,, since we should only be repeat ing what is written of the campaign of 1832. But we cannot withhold ofie ex tract from the reminiscences of Mr. Row Herndon: Abe "Makes a Hand." "He (Lincoln) came to my housiAnear Island Grove, during harvest There were some thirty men In the fielfi. He got his dinner and went out In the field where the men were at work. I gave him an Introduction, and the bts said that they could not vote for a uan un less he could make a hand. 'Well, boys,' said he, If that is alL I im sure of your votes.' He took hold of the era- He and led the way all the round with perfect ease. The boys were satisfied, and I don't think he lost a vote In the crowd. r (To be Continued.) This Means You.
