to Build a Rural Telephone Line,"

you should also have your wife study

goods, etc.

The Enterprise Manufacturing
Co., 335 Dauphin St., Philadelphia,
Pa., will send you free a 25-cent cook
book and catalog of meat choppers,

Now that farmers have more
money, they should buy more pianos
and other household luxuries if
good music really ought to be reck
oned a luxury. You should write the
old reliable Mathushek Piano Manu
facturing Co., New Haven, Conn,
(catalog free), and you should also
ask for Booklet "F," of the Ludden &
Bates Co., Savannah, Ga., describing
their offer of $400 pianos for $287.
We Take None But Reliable Ads.
This standing announcement is
made by The Progressive Farmer:
"The advertisers in The Progres
sive Farmer are men and firms of
known reliability, and will do as they
promise. When writing for catalogs,
prices, etc., and especially when you
write to make purchases, please re
member to say, 'I saw your ad in The
Progressive Farmer.' "
And we mean just what we say. No
amount of money can tempt us into
taking an ad that we believe to be
fraudulent. Every week we refuse
paying ads because we do not know
them trustworthy. You may write
to anybody whose announcement ap
pears in our columns, and you have
our guarantee that you will get fair
treatment.
And all we ask and this we do
most earnestly ask is that you will
never, never fail to say, "I saw your
offer in The Progressive Farmer."
Planting for Winter.
In planting for winter comfort
must receive the first consideration.
The rude north wind must have its
force broken. This may be accom
plished by planting evergreens for
wind-breaks. But it is best to at
tain the end without the formal ar
ray of a straight border, which is
often too assertive. The outbuild
ings should be placed to do part at
the work, but so as not. ttfsshow too
plainlv that this was m view. Be
tween the buildings groups of ever
greens may be placed, so as to make
a pleasing variety, add a beauty of
their own, and effectually complete
the wind-breaking circuit. In all
our -Northern States the northwest
wind is the enemy whose assaults
must be guarded against. But we
have severe winds from the north
and northeast, and these points
should also be effectually covered.--James
Wood, in the Garden Maga
zine. . -
Bffl
ERMANENT MEADOWS should have
an annual dressing of 500 pounds per
acre of a fertilizer containing eleven per cent.
Potash and ten per cent, available phos
phoric acid.
This will gradually force out sour grasses
and mosses from the meadows, and bring good
grasses and clovers; thus increasing the quality
as well as the quantity of the hay.
Our practical book, "Farmer's Guide," gives valuable facts for every
sort of crop-raising. It is one of a number of books on successful fertiliz
ation which we send on request, free of any cost or obligation, to any
farmer who will write us for them.

Country Home
The telephone in the country home is not a luxury it's a
money-saving investment that brings returns every day.

tages like their city cousins.
