MURRAY STREET NEW YORK CITY. 4M To M -r. - That's what a Spreader will do if If you hre"l2S loads of manure to spread and you are going to plant 23 acres'of corn or wheat, or have a 25 acre meadow we will tell you how you can increase the value of your crop this year front $4.00 to $8.00 per acre or more than enough to pay for a spreader. 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 op by actual experiments extending over a period of 18 years. To give 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 84.80 per acre. Ojj 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. This Book will be sent free to anyone writing ns. It is worth $100.00 to yon. bat it won't cost you a cent. If it doesn't do you any good, it won't do yon any harm. Write us now and let us mail it to yon. It is brimming full of valuable information. Endless Apron lanuro 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 timet as far and produce better results; ' makes all manure fine and immediately avail able for plant life. Nort-Bunchable Rake forms a hopper, holds all hard chunks in contact with beater until thoroughly pulverized. Endless Apron is one continuous apron, (not a apron) thereore always ready 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. 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 out perfectly clean. Hood a .id End Gate keeps manure away from beater while loading ; prevents choking of beat er and tilt owing out a bunch when starting and acts as wind shield when spreading. It has a graduating lpr and can be regulated while in motion to spread thick or thin, 3 to as loads per acr.

Clode 'WlftT the rocking of the boat the foul bilge water washed around the child's limbs and back. Instinct alone had 6aved it from drowning. Perhaps dur ing the first hours of vigor after aban donment the little one might have roll ed over in infantile search for food and human tendance, but the rush of salt water into eyes and mouth must have driven the tiny sufferer to seek instant ly the only position in which life was possible. So far as the man could judge in a first hasty glance, the child's clothing was of excellent quality. Yet he gave slight heed to such considerations. : Jim was the father of three lusty s youngsters who were snugly in bed in j Penzance, and the sight of this f or- j lorn sea waif made his eyes misty. , He reached down, unpinned the blanket, which was secured with a brooch, and lifted the infant out of Its unpleasing environment. It was pite ous to see the way In which the shrunk- . en hands at once strove to clasp his wrists, though they were all too feeble .i to achieve , more than a gentle clutch which relaxed almost as soon as the effort was made. Jones, also a husband and father, be thought him when he. reached the storeroom; hence when the windlass lowered a basket there was not only a supply of brandy within, but also a bottle of fresh milk, which reached the Gulf Rock, by arrangement with a fish erman, whenever weather permitted. Jim handed the jug to his exhausted companion. . "Here, cap'n," he said cheerfully. "Take a couple of mouthfuls of this. If 11 warm the cockles of your. heart. An' the sooner you shin up the ladder and get them soaked rags off you the better. Can you manage? ..It!s a near thing for the kid, if not too late now." Brand needed no second bidding. He did not wish to collapse utterly, and, the soft. breeze, rendered chilly by his wet garments,-" had . ..revived tlm, somewhat. The resourceful sailor did not- at tempt the f oolisS process of pouring even the smallest quantity of milk Into the baby's mouth. He produced a hand kerchief, steeped a. twisted corner In the milk and placed it between the parched, salt blackened lips.1 " This rough expedient for a ' feeding bottle served admirably. -''The child's eagerness to gulp in the: life giving fluid was only matched by the tender care of the sailor in his efforts to appease Its ravenous hunger. - He was so Intent on this urgent task that for a little while he paid no heed to Brand. Jones, forty feet overhead, took the keenest interest in the baby's nurture. ' -' ' "Mind you don't let it suck .the hand kerchief into Its little throat," he, cried. "Not too much, Jim. It's on'y a young 'un. 'Half mil".:, half water an' a lump of sugar,' ciy missus says. Pore little dear! However did it come to live, when that man must ha' been dead for days? Now, Jim, slow an' sure is the motter. S'pose you shove It Into the basket an" lot me hoist it up here. A warm bath an' . a blanket is the next best thing to milk an' water." "All right, skipper. Just hold oa a bit She's doin' fine." "Is It a he or a she?" "I dunno. But I guess it's a gal by the duds." The baby, in the sheer joy of living again, uttered a gurgling cry, a com pound of milk, happiness and pain. "There! I told you!" shouted Jones angrily. "You think every kid is ft hardy young savage like your own. You're overdoin' it, I say.'.' "Overdoin' wot?" demanded the sail or. "You don't know who you're talkin to. Why, when, I was on the West Coast I reared two week-old monkeys this way." Soon these firm friends would have quarreled so unbounded was their anxiety to rescue the fluttering exist ence of the tiny atom of humanity so miraculously snatched from the perils of tho sea. But Stephen Brand's dominant per sonality was rapidly recovering its nor mal state. "Jim," he said, "Mr. Jones is right. The child must be made comfortable. Her skin is raw and her eyes sore with Inflammation. The little food she has already obtained will suffice for a few minutes. Send her up." The "Mr. Jones" was a gentle re minder of authority. - Np further nro- $ lO.OOO Capiral Stock test was" raided, save "uy the infant when supplies were temporarily with held, and Jones was too pleased that his opinion should be supported by Brand to give another thought to his subordinate's outburst - "Now, back up to the rock," said Brand. 4I will dress and rejoin you quickly.' The boat must be thoroughly examined and swabbed out. Jones will signal for help. Meanwhile you might moor her tightly. When the tide falls she will be left high and dry The sailor's momentary annoyance fled. There was much to be done, and no time should be wasted In disputes concerning baby culture. "Sure you won't slip?" he asked as Stephen caught 'hold of the ladder. "No, no. It was not fatigue, but sickness which overcame me. The brandy has settled that." Up he went, as though returning from his customary morning dip. . ' "By jingo, he's a -plucky 'un," mur mured Jim admiringly. "He ought to be skipper of a battleship Instead Of housemaid of a rock light Dash them sea crows! I do hate 'em!" He seized an oar and lunged so hard and true at a cormorant which was In vestigating the shark's liver that .he knocked the bird a yard through the air. Discomfited, it retired, with a scream. Its companion darted to the vacant site and pecked industriously. The neighborhood of the rock was now alive with sea gulls. In the water many varieties of finny shapes were darting to and fro in great excitement. Jim laughed. "They'd keep me busy," he growled. "When all's said an' done, it's their nater, an' they can't help it." Unconscious that he had stated the primordial thesis, he left the foragers alone. Hauling the sail out of the wa ter, he discovered that the stern board was missing, broken off probably when the mast fell. His trained scrutiny soon solved . a. puzzle suggested by the statue of the cordage. ' Under ordinary conditions the upper part of the mast would either have carried the sail clean away with it or be found acting as a sort of sea anchor at a short distance from the boat But it had gone altogether, and the strands ;of the sail rope were bitten, not torn, asunder. The shark had striven to pull the boat under by tug ging ;at the wreckage. Having made the canvas shipshape, Jim settled the next pressing question by seizing an empty tin and sluicing the fore part Then he passed a rope under the after thwart and reeved It through a ringbolt in a rock placed there . for mooring purposes ; In very calm weather like the present. - When the Trinity tender paid her monthly visit to the lighthouse she was moored to a buoy three cable lengths away to the northwest If there was the least suspicion of a sea over the reef it was Indeed a ticklish task land ing or embarking stores and men. Closehauled, the boat would fill for ward, as the tide dropped. This was matterless. By that time all her mov able contents she appeared to have plenty of tinned meat and biscuits aboard, but no water would be re moved to the storeroom. The sailor was sorting the packages wonderin;; what queer story of the deep would be forthcoming when the recent history of the rescued child was ascertained when Brand hailed him. "Look out there, Jim. I am lowering an ax." The weapon was duly delivered. "What's the ax for, cap'n?" was the natural query. "I want to chop out that shark's teeth. They will serve as mementos for the girl if she grows up, which is likely, judging by the way she Is yell ing at Jones. "Wot's he a-doin' of?" came the sharp demand. - "Giving her a bath, and excellently well too. He is evidently quite domes ticated." "If that means "under Mrs. J.'s thumb,' you're right cap'n. They tell me that when he's ashore" "Jim, the first time I met you you were wheeling a perambulator. Now, load the skip and I will haul in." They worked in silence a few min utes. Brand descended, and a few well placed cuts relieved the man eater of the serrated rows used to such seri ous purpose in life that he had attained a length of nearly twelve feet Set double in the lower jaw and sinele In tne upper, they 1 were" of ab3e'tfi$fa ! shape ominously suggestive of the j creature's voracity. ; - "It is a good thing," . said Brand, calmly hewing at the huge jaws, "that nature did not build the Careharodon galeidoe on the same lines as -an al ligator. If this big fellow's sharp em broidery were not situated so close to his stomach he would have made a meal of me, Jim, unless I carried a torpedD." "He's a blue shark," commented the cthjer, ignoring for. ilid nonce what he termed "some of the cap'n's jawbreak ers." "Yes. It is the only dangerous species found go far north. "His teeth are like so many fixed bayonets. Of course you would like to keep 'em, but he would look fine in a museum. Plenty of folk in Penzance, especially visitors, would pay a bob a head to see him." Brand paused in his labor. "Listen, Jim," he said earnestly. "I want .both you and Jones to oblige me by saying nothing about the shark. Please do not mention my connection with the affair in any way. The story will get into the newspapers as it is. The additional sensation of the fight would send reporters here by the score. I don't wish that to occur." "Do you mean to say" . "Mr. Jones will report the picking up of the boat and the finding of the baby. together with the necessary burial of a man unknown" . "What sort of a chap was he?" In terrupted Jim. "I I don't know a sailor that is all I can tell you. He must have been dead several days." "Then how In the world did that baby keep alive?" "I have been thinking over that prob lem. I imagine that, in the first place, there was a survivor, who disappeared since the death of the poor devil out there." He pointed to the sea. "This person, whether man or woman, looked after the child until madness came, caused by drinking salt water. The next step is suicide. The little one, left living, fell Into the bilge created by the shipping of a sea and adopted, by the mercy of Providence, a method of avoiding death from thirst which ought to be more widely appreciated than it is. She absorbed water through the pores of the skin, which rejected the salty elements and took in only those parts of the compound needed by the blood. You follow me?" "Quite. It's a slap-up idea." "It is not new.- It occurred to a ship's captain who was compelled- to navigate . his . passengers and crew a thousand miles, in open boats across the Indian ocean as the result of a fire at sea. Well, the child was well nourished,, in all likelihood,' before the accident happened which set her adrift "on the Atlantic. She may have lost a few pounds In weight, but star vation is a slow affair, and her plump ness saved her life In that , respect Most certainly she would have died today, and even yet she is In great danger. Her pulse is very weak, and care must be taken not to stimu late the action of the heart too rap idly." When Brand spoke in this way Jim Spence.was far too , wary to ask per sonal . questions. Sometimes, in the early days of their acquaintance, he had sought to pin his friend with clum sy logic to some admission as to his past life. The only result he achieved was to seal the other., man's lips for days so far as reminiscences were con cerucnl. . .

Yet go helpful was he, so entertaining "ith his scraps of scientific knowledge and more ample general reading, that those whose, turn on the rock was co incident with his relief hailed his re appearance with jcy. During the pre cnririiT ir.tr:' b ntnnKr entertained tneai w'.lli iicj I; -.'.:;.: t!on of the twenty-four books of the "Iliad," and great was the delight of Jim Spence when ha was able to connect the ex ploits of some Greek or Trojan hero with the identity of one of her majes ty's ships.' In private they discussed him often, and a common agreement was made that his wish to remain incognito should be respected. Their nickname, "the cap'n," was a tacit admission of his higher social rank. They feared lest inquisitiveness should drive him from their midst and one supernumer ary, who heard from the cook of the Trinity tender that Brand was the nephew of a baronet, was roughly bid den to "close his rat trap, or he might catch something he couldn't eat." So Jim now contented himself by re marking dolefully that had his advice been taken "the bloomin' kid would be well on her way back .to the Scilly Isles." "You must not say that," was the grave response. "These things are de termined by a higher power than man's intelligence. Think how the seeming accident of a fallen sail saved the child from the cormorants and other birds; how a chance sea fell into the boat and kept her alive; how mere idle curiosity on my part impelled me to swim out and investigate matters." "That's your way of puttin' it," Jim was forced to say. "You knew quite well that there might be a shark In her wake or you wouldn't haveTakeh the knife. An now you won't nave a word said about it.
