Mr. Newton is a humorist who

tear between laughs.

Farmers’ Column.
Edited weekly by
W. B. Roddenbery.
Farm labor is scarce and high, This makes it imperative that
all successful farmers must use Labor Saving Tools.
Planting time is near at hand and every up-to-date farmer should
have a Guano Distributor, Cotton Planter and Corn Planter, but no
one should buy three seperate machines provided he can get all three
successfully combined in one machine.
Coles Universal Planter
will open the furrow and plant either Cotton, Corn, Oats, Peas
Beans or Pjnders one at the same time put out in the furrow with the
seed Guano in any quantity desired and cover the seed all at same
operation with one hand and one horse and it will be better done th an
if done by hand - Stop a moment and figure how much labor you
can save bv the use of this implement.
The Cole Planter is no experiment but has been fully tested
around Cairo by a number of our most successful farmers and i is a
prcv.en success.
Mr. H. J. Poulk, one of our most successful farmers says posi
tively that he would not take $ 50,00 for his machine if he could not
get another one like it.
I have a small lot of these machines on hand and cannot get
more unless they are ordered at once, you should therefore place your
order with me at once for one so as to be sure to get one, if you wait
you will miss it.
1 keep in stock a full line of Labor Saving Implements such as
Disc Plows, Steel Two Horse Turning Plows, Disc and Tooth Har
row's, Disc and Sohvel Cultivators both riding and walking for one or
two horses.
