The farmer who buys either the New Deere Gfc.ng or Sulky
Plow gets absolutely the finest, most servicable implement of
its kind ever produced. Before buying such a tool you'll want
to know how it's built, how it? works and what it will do for
you. As to quality of the material and workmanship the name
Deere on it is a sufficient guarantee for you on those points.
For ease of operation and light draft the New Deere will be a
happy surprise to you. The many new features which enable
the operator to do work with it he never could do before, with
a sulky or gang plow, are marvels of simplicity and effective
ness It takes a whole book and a lot of illustrations to
explain them all, and we know you will want to read the book.
We feel sure we have just
what you want in

A brieflcBs lawyer not long past
his bar examinations was waiting
for business when a farmer drop
ped in.
"Say, young man, i see oy uie
sign outside that you're a lawyer,"
was the salutation. The briefless
lawyer looked very wise and nodded
his head.
"Well, if you're a lawyer you can
tell me something. If I sell a man
a horse and he gives me a promis
sory note in payment and he doesn't
pay up his note can I go to his barn
and take his horse away?"
"You certainly can't," said the
lawyer. "You'll have to sue him to
recover the value of the note ?"
"Can't, eh? Well, I guess I'll get
another lawyer. I've done it."
