Deering Ideal
Mowers
HEN a farmer buys a mower he looks for three features—
good capacity, durability and absence of side draft.
Ideal mowers are so constructed that they insure the greatest cut,
tang capacity, durability and light draft.
The frame is cast in one piece. This prevents springing of
shafts and bearings, adding to the light draft of the machine and
its capacity.
The gears are so placed on the frame that the entire median
ism is well balanced. This perfect balance insures absence of side
draft and makes the machine light running. The light draft is
further increased by the equipment of ball and roller bearings.
There is also a draft rod connection with the drag bar in line
with the tongue, which saves wear and tear on the horses.
The great cutting capacity of this mower is due to correct con
struction. The entire machine has sufficient weight properly dis
tributed so that the machine has enough traction to prevent slip-
ping and choking when cutting in tough, heavy or wiry grass. At
the first turn of the wheels the entire mechanism starts in full
action.

Deering Ideal Self-dump Hay Rake
THE Ideal self dump hay rake is exceptionally durable, 95 per
* cent of the material used being the highest grade steel
When this rake-is used to gather the hay crop the hay grower can
feel absolutely certain that he has gathered every part of the crop
in the best manner and in the'shortest time. The rake is designed
for clean raking, for strength and for durability
The rake head is made of high carbon angle steel and is con
nected to the hound by malleable hangers. ,\ t russ rod is used
mi the larger sizes to strengthen the head and prevent sagging
The wheels are high so that the rake is well adapted to bunching
heavy windrows.
The frame is constructed of the best angle steel, strongly riv
eted instead of bolted. This eliminates any possibility of the rake
getting out of repair at critical times due to loose bolts.

OLD SOLDIER WALKS
Veteran of Three Wars Re-travel-
ing Scene of Conflict With
Mexico
Last Saturday Andrew Jackson
aged 92 years, a first cousin of
Stonewall Jackson and a distant
relative of ex-Prenident Andrew
Jackson, passed through Clifton
en route to San Antonio to View
again the scene of some of his
hardest fought battles.
In conversation with a Record
representative, Mr. Jackson said
that he left Richmond, Va., with
the idea of covering as nearly as,
possible, the route traveled dur-l
ing the days of theTexas-Mexican j
war. He traveled by train to the
Texas line, since which time he|
has been afoot the entire distance j
with the exception of lifts begets
along the road from buggies
and wagons. By this method he
covers an average of 30 to 40
miles per day, and e’er this time
has reached his goal.
Mr Jackson is unusually active
both in body and mind, for one
of his years, and talked very
entertainingly of the days of
struggle for Texas independent*
and the war between the Sta tes

cents on the $loo, as against 05
cents last year.
