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.
