We issued a 48-page book entitled "Practical Experience With Barnyard Manures." which explains the whole situation. Our Flan is not a theory. It is an actual fact, backed up by actual experiments extending over period of 18 years. To five you an idea of what this book contains, we show results 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 $5.60 per acre, and on a clover and timothy meadow, a gain of $8.00 per acre. Tkia Book will be sent free to anyone writing us. It is worth $100.00 to you, bat it won't cfest you a cent. If it doesn't do yon any good, it won't do yon any harm. Write us now and let us mail it to you. It is brimming full of valuable information. Tho Smith Great Endless Apron Manure Spreader Spreads all kinds of manure, straw stack bot toms andcommercial fertilizer regardless of their condition. Spreads as much in a 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 fi.r and produce better results; makes all manure fine and immediately avail able for plant 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 H apron) therefore always re idv 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 is a great advantage in making long hauls. i There Is no Gearinif 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 Bile. Spreads evenly from start to finish and cleans out 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. It has a graduatzitr Irer and can be regulated while in motion to spread ihiJi or thin, 3 to SS loads per acre.

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.

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.

Highest Market Price T H E SILL AR of LIGHT CHAPTER L XIi night long the great bell of the lighthouse, slung to a stout beam projecting " seaward be neath the outer platform, had tolled its warning through the fog. The monotonous ticking of the clock work attachment that governed it, the sharp and livelier click of the occult ing hood's machinery, were the only sounds which alternated with Its deep boom. The tremendous clang sent a thrill through the giant column Itself and pealed away into the murky void with a tremolo of profound diminu tions. Overhead the magnificent lantern, Its eight ringed circle of flame burning at full pressure, illumined the drifting vapor with an Intensity that seemed to be born of the sturdy granite pillar of which it was the fitting diadem. Hard and strong externally as the everlast ing rock on which it stood, replete within with burnished steel and polish ed brass, great cylinders and powerful pumps, the lighthouse thrust its glow ing torch beyond the reach of the most daring wave. Cold, dour, defiant it looked. Yet its superhuman eye sought to pierce the very heart of the fog, and the, furnace white glare, con centrated ten thousand fold by the en circling hive of the dioptric lens, flung far into the gloom a silvery cloak, of inoonlike majesty. At last an irresistible ally sprang to the assistance of the unconquerable light About the close of the middle watch a gentle breeze from the Atlan tic followed the tide and swept the shivering wraith landward to the north east, while the first beams of a June sun completed the destruction of the routed specter. - So once more, as on the dawn of the third day, the waters under the heaven were gathered into one place and the dry land appeared, and, behold, it was good. On the horizon the turquoise rim of the sea lay with the sheen of folded silk against the softer canopy of the sky. ' Toward the west a group of Is lands, to which drifting banks of mist clung in melting despair, were etched in shadows of dreamy purple. Over the nearer sea floor the quickly dying vapor spread a hazy pall of opal tints. Across the face of the waters: glisten ing bands of emerald green and serene blue quivered in fairy lights. The slanting rays of the sun hrew broad cast a golden mirage and gilded all things with the dumb gladness of an English summer's day. ; , A man. pacing the narrow gallery be neath the lantern, halted for a mo ment to flood his soul afresh with a beauty made en trancing by the knowl edge that a few brief minutes would resolve it Into maturer and more fa miliar channs. He was engaged, it Is true, in the unromantlc action of filling his pipe, a simple thing, beloved alike of poets andyihavvies, yet hla eyes drank In the mute glory of the scene, and, captive to the spell of the hour, he murmured aloud: " "Floating on waves of music and of light. Behold the chariot of the fairy queen! Celestial coursers paw the unyielding air; Their filmy pennons at her word they furl And stop obedient to the reins of light." The small door beneath the glass fane was open. The worker, within, busily cleaning an eight inch burner, ceased for an instant and popped his head out. "Did you hail me?" he inquired. The matter of fact words awoke the dreamer. Ila turned vrit!i a pleasant smile. "To be exact, Jim, I did hail some body, but it was Aurora, Spirit of the Dawn, not a hard bitten sallorman like you." "Oh. that's all right, cap'n! I thought I heard you singln' out for a light." The other man bent his head to shield a match from a puff of wind, thus con cealing from his companion the gleam of amusement in his eyes. His mate sniffed the fragrant odor of the tobacco longingly, but the Elder Brethren of the Trinity maintain strict discipline, and he vanished to his task without a thought of broken rules. He left a piece of good advice be hind him. "If 1 was you, cap'n," he said, "I'd turn in. Jones is feelin' Al this morn in. He comes on at 8. You ought to be dead beat after your double spell of foa.last two days, .I'llkeep break Paid for Butter Fat ... By ... Louis Tracy, Author of "The Wings . of the Morning Copyright. 1904. by Edward J. Clode fast back untirtnree Delists? 30 a. m.), an' there's fresh eggs an haddick." "Just a couple of whiffs, Jim. Then I'll go below." Both men wore the uniform of assist ant keepers, yet it needed not their manner of speech to reveal that one iwas a gentleman born and bred and the other a bluff, good natured, horny handed A. B., to whom new laid eggs and recently cured fish appealed far more potently than Shelley and a sum mer dawn at sea. He who had Involuntarily quoted "Queen Mab" turned his gaze seaward again. Each moment the scene was be coming more brilliant, yet nearer to earth. The faroff islands sent splashes of gray, brown and green through the purple. The rose flush on the horizon was assuming a yellower tinge, and the blue of sky and water was deepening. Twenty miles away to the southwest the smoke of a steamer heralded the advent of an Atlantic liner, and the last shreds of white mist were curling for lornly above the waves. The presence of the steamship, a tiny dull spot on the glowing picture, peo pled the void with life and banished poetry with the thinly sheeted ghosts of the fog. In a little more than an hour she would be abreast of the Gulf Rock light. The watcher believed was almost certain, in fact that she was the Princess Royal, homeward bound from New York to Southampton. From her saloon deck those enthusiasts who had risen early enough to catch a first glimpse of the English coast were al ready scanning the trimly rugged out lines of the Scilly isles and searching with their glasses for the Land's End and the .Lizard. In a few hours they would be in Southampton; that afternoon in Lon don London, the Mecca of the world, from which-two years ago he fled with a loathing akin to terror. The big ship out there, panting and straining as if she were beginning, not ending, her ocean race of 3,000 miles, was carrying eager hundreds to the pleasures and foIHes of. the great city. Yet he, the man smoking and silently staring at the growing bank of smoke a young man, too; handsome, erect, with the clean, smooth profile of the aristocrat had turned his back on it all and sought and found peace here in the gaunt pillar on a lonely rock. Strange how differently men are con stituted. . And women! Bah! A hard look came into his eyes. His mouth set in a stern contempt. For a little while his face bore a steely expression which would have amazed the man within the lantern, now singing lustily as he worked. . But, as the harp of David caused the evil spirit to depart from Saul, so did the music of the morning chase away the lurking devil of memory which sprang upon the lighthouse keeper with the sight of the vessel. He smiled again, a trifle bitterly per haps. Behind him the singer roared genially: "Soon we'll be in London Town, Sing, my lads, yeo ho-o! And see the king in his golden crown, Sing, my lads, yeo ho!" The man on the platform seemed to be aroused from a painful reverie by the jingle S3 curiously apropos to his thoughts. He tapped his pipe on the iron railing and was about to enter the lantern and so to the region of sleep beneath when suddenly his glance, trained to an acuteness not dreamed of by folk ashore, rested on some object seemingly distant a mile or less and drifting slowly nearer with the tide. At this hour a two knot current swept to the east around and over the treacherous reef whose sunken fangs were marked by the lighthouse. In calm weather, such as prevailed just then, It was difficult enough to effect a landing at the base of the rock, but this same smiling water race became an awful, raging, tearing fury when the waves were lashed into a storm. He pocketed his pipe and stood with hands clinched on the rail, gazing in tently at a white painted ship's life boat, with a broken mast and a sail trailing over the stern. Its color, with the sun shining on it, no less than the vaporous eddies fading down to the surface of the sea, had prevented him from seeing it earlier. Perhaps he would' not have noticed it at all were It not for the flashing wings of several sea birds which accompanied the craft fll : mnernu escort.' J Even yet a landsman would hare ! stared Insolently in that direction and I declared that there was naught else ! In sight save the steamer, whose tall masts and two black funnels were now distinctly .visible, 'b"ut "thef Bghthouse keeper knew he Vas nqjt mistaken. Here" was a boat adrift, forlorn, de serted. Its contour .told him that it was no local craft . straying adven turously from island or mainland. Its unexpected presence, wafted thus strangely from ocean wilds, the broken spar and tumbled canvas, betokened an accident, perchance a tragedy. "Jim!" he cried. His mate, engaged in shrouding the gleaming lenses from the sun's rays, came at the call. He was lame, the result of a wound received in the Egyptian campaign; nevertheless, he was quick on his feet. "What do you make of that?" The sailor required no more than a gesture. He shaded his eyes with his right hand, a mere shipboard trick of concentrating vision and brain, for the rising sun was almost behind him. "Ship's boat," he answered laconical ly. "Collision, I expect There's bin no blow to speak of for days. But they're gone. Knocked overboard when she was took aback by a squall. Un less them birds" He spoke In a species of verbal short hand, but his meaning was clear enough, even to the sentence left un finished. The craft was under no con trol. She would drift steadily Into the bay until the tide turned, wander in an aimless circle for half an hour thereafter, and then, when the ebb re stored direction and force to the cur rent, voyage forth again to the fabled rpalm.of Lyonnesse. (To be Continued) Additional Local. The absence f a sea breeze was proba bly all that saved the Strong saw mill and lumber yard from destruction by fiie, Wednesday afternoon. The smokestack at the mill blew out, scattering sparks in all directions, and almost instantly there were fires in a dozen or fifteen places. The sawdust dump was ignited, as was also the slab pile, the mill roof and many other places. Fortunately there was no breeze and the promptness of the fire de partment and their good .work saved the day. The damage was very slight. The lawn social given by Miss Marjorie Richards at Cauthorn Hall, Wednesday night, was a very enjoyable affair tor th9 large party of guests pres ent. Games and refreshments were features and the occasion was voted de lightful. An unfortunate incident was a badly sprained ankle sustained by Mias Merle Hcllister, who stepped in a hole on 'the lawn.
