When you add these three co£s together you will find that should you consider the investment of the cheaper heater, it totals up much more than the inve&ment of a high-grade heat­ ing system whose only co& is the fir& cost.

U * A The Bull-Dog Beater Wheel , This bull-dog wheel is all that its names implies. It is one of the foundations on which the Litchfield Spreader Line tirroly stands. This beater wheel is entirely unlike the ones used on all other machines in the world. The manufacturers claim THIS ONE PATENTED FEATURE to be worth more to any spreader than all the best features combined, which are controlled by all other competing machines. This is the only beater wheel used on manure spreaders that CANNOT BE CLOGGED by any kind of material that is ordinarily used in a spreader. The principle is unique and different from everything else. It operates on the plan of one set of teetli working ahead of another set. What one set of teeth fail to get the other set takes good care of. Come in and see it and we wilt explain all the de­ tails. It does the same work that TWO heater wheels would do if it were possible for two wheels to operate on the SAME SHAFT and in the SAME SPACE, one working an inch and a half deeper" in the load all the time than the other. Owingto its peculiar construction, it TAKES CARE of the material as it comes from the box, t<'ars it into pieces and iTistributes it with uniformity and WITHOUT PACK­ ING OR CLOGGING- The whole secret is the peculiar makeup of the diamond pointed LONG and SHORT teeth which are so arranged that no material gets by them and drags on the bars that hold the teeth. This beater wheel is light running, flexible apd all steel. Our owners tell us that the power it require^ to do its work is almost negligible. West McHenry F. A.
