What You Want Here's your chance, to (jot exactly what you want in a manure spreader. One that is easy to load, light for your horses, free from constant repairing, and one that will laat as long as you think it ought to. What You Got With a John Deere Spreader you get a low down Spreader in which the advantage ot MR drive wheels is not sacrificed for the low down feature. You get a spri>arler that is easy for your horses because it has these_ big drive wheels together with roller bearings, few parts, the fact that the center of the load is com- paratively near the horses and the load evenly distributed over all four wheels. There are no clutches to get out of order, no chains to give trouble, no adjustments necessary. Built with a steel frame, securely braced like modern railway bridges, it is very strong and durable. Why You Get Those Things Mounting the beater on the axle makes all these things possible in the John Deere Spreader. It does away with some two hundred trouble-giving parts. It makes the spreader low down. It permits the use of big drive wheels. I t does away with clutches, chains and adjustments, It puts all the strain and stress of spreader on the rear axle, where it belongs, not on the sides and frame of the spreader. It does a lot of other good things, too. They are fully illustrated and described ia our new spreader book. Gat This Spreader Book It tells how the John Deere Spreader is made and why it is made that way. It contains illustrations of the working parts and colored pictures of the John Deere Spreader in the field. It also has valuable information in regard to storing, handling and applying maniiro to the land. Get one of these books free, by asking us for our spreader book, Y J. W. MURPHY, Agt. Madrid, N.Y. H.
