A BASE IMPOSTOR.
A farmer from the vicinity of Hempstead
appeared in front of the Stock Exchange,
and entered into conversation with
a citizen who was waiting in the door, by
asking:
"The convention in there breaks up at
three o'clock, don't it?"
"Yes, that's the hour," was the reply.
"Do you know Jay Gould when you see
him?"
"Oh, yes."
"Is he in there?"
"I presume so."
"Well, I wish you'd point him out to
me when he ?Dmes out."
ml ?*' ?i .1. .L?_
rnecuizen promiscu to uo mis, uuu ?imiu
a few minutes he kept his word. The
farmer took a square look at the railroad
and telegraph prince, and then turned
and asked:
"Are you dead sure?"
"Yes."
"Can't be no mistake?"
"No."
"Well, it's about as I suspected. A few
days ago a big slouch hat of a fellow halted
at my gate and began measuring my
ground with a tape line, and squinting
around in the most mysterious manner. I
went out to see what was up, and, after
being around for a while he said he was
Jay-Gould, but I didn't know what he
looked like."
"It must have been a fraud."
"Iam sure of that now; I pumped around
to find out what he was up to, and he finally
said he wanted my place for an orphan
asylum. He was going to build one as big
as a palace, and take care of all the orphans
in the country."
"And of course you treated him well?"
"Didn't I? Why, for three days he
lived on the fat of the land and slept in
the parlor bed-room. He was going to
give me twenty-five thousand dollars for
my laud, and the way we killed chickens
and turned out sweet-cake for him made
the old woman sick. He finally jumped
the house and took my Sunday suit, and a
fiddle worth eight dollars."
"I don't believe Gould would steal a
fiddle."
"That's what I thought, and so I came
over to look at him. It wasn't Gould at
all, but some base impostor!"
"And you are so much out?"
"Well, it looks that way, but the experience
is worth something. It may not be
a week before some one else will come
along with a ten-foot pole in his hand and
a theological seminary in his eyes, and
claim to be Russell Sage, and the way
I will knock him down and step on him,
and walk over him, and drive him into
the sile, will pay me a profit of fifty per
cent, on the investment."?[Wall Street

W3f* A boy about thirteen years old stood
outside the fence and received a hatful of
cherries from a boy of nine or ten on the
inside. There was something so sweetly
friendly and charitable in the action that a
pedestrian crossed over and said to the
small boy, after the big one had moved on:
"Sonny, did you sell him the cherries?"
"No, sir."
"Gave them of your own free will, eh?"
"Yes, sir."
"Well, he looks like a poor boy who
can't buy fruit, and it was a noble action
of yours."
"That's what I think, too, sir. He's
been licking me all summer, and?"
"And you heaped coals of fire on his
head ?"
"No, sir. I fixed to heap a quart of halfripe
cherries into his stomacn, and if he
doesn't howl, and twist, and yell, and tie
up in hard knots before night, then he's
too mean for the colic to tackle ! He's
the third one I've paid off that way this
week.?[Detroit Free Press.
V3F Among the guests of a New York hotel
was a maiden lady from the rural districts.
The landlord noticed that about
nine o'clock every night she would come
down stairs, get a pitcher of ice-water,
and return to her room.
"One night," he said, "I made bold to
speak to her, and asked why she did not
ring the bell for a hall-boy to bring the
ice-water to her."
" 'But there is no bell in my room ?'
"Pray, let me show you."
"And with that I took the pitcher of ice
watet in my hand and escorted her to her
apartment.. Then I pointed out to her the
knob of the electric-bell. She gazed at it
with a sort of horror, and then exclaimed:
" 'Dear me! Is that a bell ? Why, the
hall-boy told me that it was a fire-alarm
signal, and that I must never touch it
except in case of fire !'
"And that is how the hall-boy saved
himself the trouble or going ror ice-water."

t6P "Yes," said the farmer to the keeper
of the "store" in his village, as he came
down to report the effects ot using a new
preparation which had been recommended
as sure confusion and sudden death to
insects of all sorts whatsoever; "it works
like a charm. I never saw anything that
so discouraged the bugs. I tried it on my
potatoes and squash vines, and there ain't
a bug in either patch."
"Good!" said the storekeeper ; "killed
'em all off, didn't it, just as I told you ?"
"Not exactly," said the farmer, "but it
killed every vine on the place, and then
the bugs got discouraged and left. Got
any good, quick-growing squash seed in
your stock ? Aud how about good planting
potatoes? It's pretty late to start
crops again, but I reckon if the season
holds off until late I shall realize something.
And if the agent for that bugkiller
comes around, tell him he can get a
boss recommend if he'll come up to my
place."
S@F In the good old town of Newburyport,
Mass., it was formerly the custom to have
"up notes" in the pulpit on Sunday mornings,
which was the vernacular for the
act of sending a note to the pastor requesting
prayers for special occasions. Not
long ago a good brother from the country
occupied one of the pulpits in that town,
and on opening the Bible came across one
such note, and, after reading it, announced
to the congregation that Mr. A. requested
the prayers and sympathy of the congregation
in the sudden death of his loved
wife, and in the prayer that followed he offered
up a fervent petition for "the brother
sitting lonely and desolate in his pew," etc.
He noticed a movement in the congregation
that almost amounted to a panic, and
to his consternation he afterwards learned
that the note had been shut up in the Bible
a year, and that Mr. A. had his new wife
for the first time in the pew. He is very
careful about giving out notices now.
i??Some time ago a rich old man, who
was dying, sent in great haste for the editor
of this paper. The editor knew that
the old fellow had no relatives, and fondly
mused as he went along, over the probability
of a large inheritance.
"I am glad you've come," said the old
man, in a deathly whisper. "Come
closer."
The editor approached.
"You know that I have worked hard,
and that I have earned every cent I have
got. Some time ago, you remember, I
subscribed for your paper for six months.
There is just one more number due me,
and as I am dying, and can't wait till youi
next issue comes out, j ust give me a uickel
and we'll call it square."?[Arkansaw
Traveller.
A gentleman went into a gun store
for the purpose of buying a gun. He saw
a fine sample of the stock on the showcase,
and attempted to pick it up for examination.
The German store-keeper who saw
the movement, shouted
"Mine friend, dots besser you look pooty
veil out. Dot gun vas loaded, un vhen he
goes off he kicks like der tuyfel.'
The gentleman, thinking to have some
fun with the German, replied:
"A gun can't kick; it has no legs."
"Vat!" said the store-keeper. "He
don't can kick? Yoost vait. I dells you
sometings, und I gif you a leedle intiaraations.
I vas in der pishness, und I know

^-"Landlord, this bill is downright extortion."
"How is that?"
"Why, I can stop at the Grand Pacific
for less than you have charged me!"
"Yes, sir; but is the Grand Pacific
among the hills? Is it surrounded by
pines? Has it a boiling spring? Canyou
walk over a precipice within 200 feet of
the Grand Pacific? I charge two dollars a
day for the precipice, another for the hills
and the spring, and if twelve shillings a
day for hotel rates are not dog cheap, then
I don't know how to please you. Why,
sir, if the Fifth Avenue hotel was on the
brink of a precipice 200 feet high, you
couldn't stop there for $8 a day !" * 1

VETCH FOR FORAUE?HOW TO PLANT.
\V. J. Dennis, of Augusta, Ga., in Southern Farm.
With your permission, I would like 1
say a word in favor of the forage plai
knowu as vetches or vecht, as in the wr
ter's opinion, there is no species of plai
so well adapted to the needs of the peopl
or to the climate of the South. On evei

other grass or rather clover or peas, (for
belongs to that family) can compare wit
it. It is one of the richest forage croj
that can he grown, rating higher both as
fat forming and muscle-producing fee
above all others grown in the world, e:
cepting lucerne only.
Its nature is that of the pea, only itgrov
only in fall and winter, ripening its hay i
May in this latitude. It never interfer<
with the cultivating of any summer croj
it is self-seeding and will never die out c
pasture lands. One good plowing in spriti
destroys it.
There is no stock of any kind that is n<
fond of, and eat it as quickly as they wi
pea vines.
On Bermuda soil it will produce a goo
crop of hay, and will be ready to cut f
early as the middle of April, on up land
But as a winter growing hay its value
unsurpassed to sow in conjunction wit
winter oats.
I have known it to grow four feet big
in oats and both cut when the oats wer
just in the dough, and have never know
less than one ton of hay per acre whe
this method is followed. And I have ofte
cut two or three tons per acre and hav
never sold it for less than $16.00 per toi
and mostly $18.00 and $20.00 per ton.
This mixture makes the richest forag
grown, and the analysis shows moro fi
and muscle, milk and butter forming feet
than any grown.
Vetch is one of the oldest of the cult
vated legumes. It has been grown and
highly prized by English farmers for stoc
of all kinds, especially dairy stock, an
sheep pasture in winter and early spriuj
It has been grown there for more than
century, so you see it comes to us with
pedigree.
I have found it one of the simplest gras
es grown and one of the easiest grasses I
get rid of. It forms no sod; like peas
lives for a season at a time, that is, it
strictly an annual, ripening us seea i
April till June. Peas only rival it as
land improver; they do not excel it in an
particular. It grows from September ti
June; it seeds itself by dropping its seet
as they ripen. The seeds are hard to sa\
on account of this simple law of natui
they obey in aceaseless, all day longsprinl
ling of their fruits, as it were, to preserv
their kind. Seeds of this plant that swe
and pop under the action of an Apr
shower and a midday sun, do not germ
nate till the cool and dreary nights <
September. They lie dormant all the Ion]
hot days of summer, and every surnrac
shower is only aiding them to hide beneat
and mingle with the soil, be it sod land (
fallow; they will not grow till the cool fa
rains of September come on apace, but 5
soon as the nights grow long and there
enough moisture to germinate oats an
small grain, they spring into lifelike maj
ic, and soon, very soon, every hill and va
will be green with the small vine-like plai
that puts forth its kinky head to enjoy 11
kiss of the fall winds and winter's rain:
All nature may sleep in the long nights <

full well that the grasses that grow abo\

As to cultivation, there is none after
good preparation of the soil as for sms
grain ; and, allow me to say, the prepa
ation must not be (as is too often the case
as careless as a poor set of tools and a car
less negro can make it. Plow the land i
for oats in August; harrow or drag ar
cross plow; harrow again; drag or rol
and sow. A peck to two pecks per acre
plenty; sow evenly and run a light harro
over it and your dearest hopes will be ri
alized, for it is almost impossible to fail i
getting a good catch of vetch when th
method is followed. Any kind of so
will suit it that will suit peas. I ha\
known of it growing on all kinds of sc
that one can find in the county of Kiel
mond, from the damp, river lands to tl
stiff clays, stony soils and sand ridges; a
seem to suit its taste. It owes its adapti
tiontoall kinds of soil to the season :
which it grows?i. e., fall, winter an
spring, escaping our long, hot summers.

There is a spring and fall vetch, but

you will harvest a crop as worthy for m?

CIVILIZING AFRICA.
A singularly interesting experiment is
about to be made in Africa. Some British
capitalists have applied for a charter to
take possession, for trading purposes, of
a large tract lying in the central basin of
the Zambesi river. It is the vast region
in which Doctor Livingstone made his
most important discoveries, and where,
worn out with toil and privation, he died.
It has appropriately been suggested to call
the country Livingstonia.
The object of the projectors of this company
is not simply to make money nor to
acquire territory. They aim also to civilize
the negro, to defend him from the rav
ages or me siave-nunier ana me grecu or
the liquor-seller, the two worst enemies
of the African race. In other words, they
propose to co-operate heartily with the
missionaries already laboring in, or about
to go to, this region.
Now it is no new thing for a commercial
company to undertake to develop the resources
of a barbarous or semi-civilized
country ; nor is it an experiment for a society
to attempt to elevate a savage people
by teaching them the truths of Christianity.
But these two great agents for the
spread of modern civilization, the trader
and the missionary, have hitherto always
worked independently, often as antagonists,
never, we might almost say, in concert.
The first and most successful of the great
mercantile companies, the Mast India company,
for a long time prohibited Christian
missionaries from laboring in its dominions.
The directors feared that it would
be impossible for them to govern the myriad
inhabitants of the peninsula, if these
bigoted Hindus and Mohammedans should
eveu suspect their rulers of a wish to
Christianize India.
Though they were at length forced, by
public opinion in England, to withdraw
their prohibition, they never encouraged
the missionary work, and even now the
Indiagovernmont preserves strict neutrality
where religious qustions arise.
In Africa, however, the majority of the
traders jiave always been either openly or
secretly hostile to the missionaries. Even
if they are indifferent, their traffic in liquor
and arms makes the missionary's
work well-nigh hopeless, for the negro
uses the one for his own destruction, the
other to enslave his brethren.
The new company proposes absolutely
to nrohihit the sale of these articles in
their dominions. No alcoholic drink shall
be permitted to cross i's frontiers, nor
shall arms and ammunition he sold to the
natives.
A commercial company operating on
these principles will certainly be a far
more powerful civilizing agent than the
most efficiently manned missionary society
in a country like Africa. The preacher
of the Gospel is, above all things, a man of
peace. He may defend himself if attacked,
but it is doubtful if he can rightly do more.
It was Doctor Livingstone's rule never
to interfere except as peace-maker, in tribal
contests, even to defend the weak and oppressed.
Accordingly, in a country where
contiuual war between neighboring villages
is almost a normal condition, and
slave-hunting raids are well-nigh certain,
a missionary is liable to see his life's labor
swept away in a night.
A well-managed commercial company,
with sufficiency of means at its disposal,
will not suffer from this danger. Its prosperity
and existence, therefore depends on
the facilities which it enjoys for trade, and
these again are dependent primarily on
peace. Tribal wars must be prevented,
by force if necessary, and defense against
the attack of foreign enemies must be provided.
It is no part of the missionary's work to
train his negro convert to fight even the
Arab slave-hunter, but one of the first
duties of the company will be to raise and
drill a native home-guard. That is, it is
the company's interest to seek the material
prosperity of the people with whom if
trades. But if there is in addition a hearty
cooperation with the missionary in his
higher aim, the mental and spiritual elevation
of the negro, it is difficult to overestimate
the influence which the two together
will exert in Livingstonia.
It is not unlikely that the two great companies,
the lioyal Niger, which operates
on the river of that name, and the British
Last African, which has acquired a large
territory on the east coast, will adopt the
same policy. In that case we shall have
every reason to look for an immense advance
of civilization and Christianity in
Africa.
Ocean Racing.?The passenger steamships
crossing the Atlantic Ocean seem tc
have entered with renewed zeal upon the
task of breaking the record of quick voyages.
Hardly a week passes without some
surprise in this line, and the record goes
steadily down.
The first steamship driven wholly by
steam power was the Sirius, which, in
1838, crossed the Atlantic in seventeen
days. It was considered a wonderful
achievement (as indeed it was), but when
the enthusiasts declared that the record
would eventually be lowered to ten days,
they were laughed to scorn.
By 1815 the time had been reduced tc
twelve days, and during the next six
years the record was slowly but steadily
lowered. In 1851 the run was made from
New York to Liverpool in nine days and
twelve hours. In 1807 a voyage in eight
days and three hours was considered remarkable
time, but years later oue was
made in seven days, twenty hours and
thirty-three minutes.
There was very litttle reduction made
from these figures until 1881, when the
Arizona won the name of the "Greyhound
of the Atlantic" by making the run in
seven days, five hours and seven minutes,
Three years later the Oregon lowered
tfie record to six days, nine hours and fifty
minutes; and from that date on the time
has been steadily lowered until the City
of Paris crossed in five days, twenty-twc
hnnra and fan minutes.
At last the time has been lowered below
six days, and it possible that the present
season will see more marked reductions in
time. It is certain that the time will be
lowered to live days, then will come a
competition to reach a limit of four days,
Such a result is not attainable with present
mechanical appliances, but no one
can tell what invention will bring forth.
Time is money, and every hour sliced oil
a European voyage is so much money
gained. This is true, however, only so An
as safety is combined with speed. It is encouraging,
therefore, to note the fact thai
steamship disasters have not increased in
an equal ratio with the increase of speed.
On the contrary, it is probable that there
has been a positive decrease. Wrecks thai
have occurred in recent years and by
which a large number of lives were lost,
havo happened to companies not especially
noted for the speed of their ships.
polyandky, ok women with MOIIK
than One Husband.?Polyandry is that
species of polygamy in which the wife has
more husbands than one, and it prevails
wherever the Thibetan language is spoken,
even in districts on the Indian side of the
mountains. Polyandry is found in many
other places, such as the interior of Ceylon,
among the Todas and Nairs of Southern
India, the Iroquois and aboriginal Tasmanians;
but Thibetan polyandry has the
peculiarity that the husbands are all brothers,
or, at least, very nearly related, so
that the woman becomes the wife of the
whole family. It does not appear to be in
any way connected with the Thibetan religion,
but to owe its existence to the poverty
of the country and the desire to limit
the population, it is practiced by all classes
of the population, rich and poor, and is
only superseded by polygamy, or multiplicity
of wives,.where the people have
miuil, Ifinrlnnc nr TVfr>.
UCCU UiUtll Jll VWJllHW It ivia w. *.1V
hammedans. Turner, the second of Warren
Hastings's envoys to Thibet, says that
the number of husbands is not restricted or
defined. At Teshu Lumbe, the residence
of the Teshu Lama, he has known a family
of live brothers living happily with one
wife, and he thinks this probably is the
practical limit. The children are regarded
as scions of the house, rather than of
any individual member of it; all the husbands
are treated as the fathers of the children,
and there is no difference in the relations
of a child to the different fathers.
The surplus women left by the system are
provided for in the Lama nunneries, where
they learn to read and copy the Thibetan
scriptures and to engage in religious services.
The choice of a wife for the family
is the right of the elder brother, and the
contract he makes involves marriage contracts
with all the other brothers. The
system is said to have existed in Thibet
since prehistoric times, so that its origin is
lost in antiquity. It has been suggested
that it arose in a state of society where
men were forced to be from home, and
where the duty of protecting the family
would fall on the brothers in turn. The
notable benefit is that it restricts population
in regions where emigration is difli
cult and where the means of subsistenc
cannot be easily increased.
Mystery ok Russia Iron.?Probabl
the only secret process which has bee
kept inviolate, and for apes openly defie
the world of science, is the iron trade <
Russia. The secret of making Russi
sheet iron is owned by the government,an
is such an immense monopoly that it
currently supposed to defray the entire e;
penses of the government.
Tho works constitute an entire city, i
olated and fortified against the rest of tt
world. When a workman enters tho se:
vice, he bids a last farewell to his fainil
and friends, and is practically lost to th
I world. He is never heard from afterwan
! anrl u/hothor ho livoa or rlins oil trcioo i
1 him is forever lost.
There have been several desperate a
1 tempts made to steal or betray the secre
| but in every instance it has resulted in tl
i death of the would-be traitor.
In one case a letter attached to a kit
which was allowed to escape, was picke
up by some peasants, and, despite the
protestations that they were unable 1
read they were at once put to death h
the guards to whom they delivered thele
ter, and it was afterward decreed that tl
guards themselves should pass the remaii
der of their days within the works.
The wonderful properties of this iron ai
so well known that it is unnecessary 1
enlarge upon them ; imitations have bee
made closely resembling the original art
icle, but the durable polish, toughne:
and anti-rusting properties are lackinj
and to-day the secret remains as hidden i
the philosopher's stone.
It has been recently claimed that a ne
discovery has been made, which, it is hi
lieved by some, will develop into an art
cle equaly as good.

T 1_ lieon in the hands of farmers for nioro than '
to fifteen years, and is to-day perhaps tho most
in popular farming; implement of its kind that
,i_ lias ever been ollered to thorn. It is used in
ag every State and Territory in tho United States,
' and in Canada, Russia, Mexico, New Zealand,
Australia, South America and Ireland. It has
as hoen awarded medals of superiority by the
great American Institute Fair, Tho World's
W Kxposition at Now Orleans, and at even' State
t>- and local display of agricultural implements
j. whore oxhibited.
DESCRIPTION.
? Tho above illustration gives a correct idea
of tho general appearance of thcCorbin Harrow
roady for use. It has steel disks thataro turned
to a knife edge. They are firmly and substantially
attached to theaxleby means of a special
nut and key which clamps them firmly in position.
It is impossible to loosen this nut by
any of tho accidents or operations of field work, i
but if desired to take the Harrow to pieces, a '
few moments' work will readily detach these :
parts and enable the operator to take off or got <
out any of tho disks in either gang.
It lias a wooden T beam?steel axles?woodon j
seat standards?wrought hand lover?anti-friction
balls in bearings. The Corbin Harrow j
was the first to adopt and secure by letters of :
patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for tho
journals, to prevent the wearing of tho boxes
and to lessen the draft. Tho entiro boxing is
protected by sand bands and is furnished with
self oiling boxes covered with a dust proof oil
cap. The axle revolves in a bearing formed of
nlrxro.i ..l.illn.l iwt.l l...llu url.w.l. Mm mil.
I'iiino the lightest draft harrow in tho worhi.
Two sizes of disks are usod. The smallest
sizo is l:t inches in diameter and tho largest 10.
The manufacturers mako harrows with 12, i
ml V'* 20 and 24 disks each, hue experience has
ml demonstrated tho fact that tho 13-inch, 12-disk,
st, or tho 10-ineh, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best
*s- adapted to gonoral farm work.
The price of tho 13-inch, 12-disk, Harrow
_ is $3r>.00 The price of tho 10-inch, 12-disk, is
$-10.00.
k# A Few Words oi Praise for the Harrow.
The following words of praiso for the Corbin
Disk Harrow are published for tho information
of thoso of our readers who are not familiar
with this most valuable implement. As each
witness is known by a large number of our
readers, either personally or by reputation, we
feel warranted in saying that their testimony
will be convincing to tho most skeptical:
Mr. Win. 11. Hcrndon's Endorsement.
Yohkvilt.k, S. O., July 10, 1H89.
I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and
would not be without one for four times its
cost. I think tho Disk Harrow is the most
important implement used, and will do more
work for its cost than any implement made.

d? Cai'T. Ij. M. Gkist: Dear Sir:?I have a
" Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using
d. for several years, and consider it the most valud?
able farming implement of which I have any
u* knowledge. I use my Disk Harrow in sowing
d- all of my small grain, and it does tho work
d* better than any implement I have ever used,
d. Land that has boon cultivated in cotton or corn,
d- may bo sown without any preparation whatd.
ever, and an ordinary hand, with two mules,
d. can sow and cover six to eight acres in a day.
d. All that is necessary is to sow tho seed on the
d. ground, and then run the Harrow over it one
d. time; but better results will be obtained if tho
Harrow is run ovor the ground two or three
times. As a time and money savor, aside from
tho superior quality of work it does, its value
. can hardly bo estimated at tho seasons at which
tho small grain is sown. The Harrow is very
;J* useful in pulverizing rough plowed land ofany
} kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any
d* farmer to use one. Unlike the ordinary tooth,
d* or Acme harrow, it not only pulverizes tho
d' surface, but will pulverize "to tho depth to
:} which the plow has gone and often deeper. It
can be used to advantage on land that is too
[} wet to plow, without injury to the land. There
d* should, in my opinion, ho a Disk Harrow on
d* ovory well regulated farm, and in my opinion
d* no harrow yet introduced is equal to tho Corbin
d* in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of

The proprietor of Tim Knoimkkii, realizing !
the fact that the Road Cart is fast growing in I

tho fact that tho people of York and surrounding

has succeeded in making arrangements with
ouo of the most reliable manufacturers in the

The ('art we olfor to club-makers is pronounced

the best that has ever been ollerod in this soc>n

IISK HARROW.
meat, I would say that f consider mysolf incompctont
to do the implement justice, hut
will try to give some idea of my estimate of its
value. I consider the Cor bin Disk Harrow to
ho the most valuable farming implement I have
ever used, or ever expect to use. There is no
other implement of which I have any knowledge
that will do as many different kinds of
work, or do the work so well. There is no implement
which will do equal service that I
have oyer seen, that is so simple in construction
or which is less liable to get out of order.
It is one of the few improved farming implements
which can he used to advantage by the
ordinary negro. The Corbin Harrow will more
than pay for itsolf in one season if given half
a chance. I now have on my farm a lfi-inch,
12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price of
which was$40, and although the implement has
been in use nearly five years, if it was impossible
to got another, I would not take five times
its cost for it. In conclusion, let me say that
some of my assertions may sound extravagant
to some of my brother farmers who are not
familiar with the Corbin Harrow, but I will
say to those who may doubt any of my statements,
that I will take pleasure in demonstrating
the truth of each and every assertion to
tho entire satisfaction of all who will call at my
farm near town. I hope to see, or hear, at an
early day, of a Corbin Harrow being on the
farms of hundreds of farmers in this section.
Very Respectfully, W. M. Wai.kkr.
Mr. F. II. Dover's Verdict.
Gkovkk, N. C., July K), 1880.
Cavt. L. M. ft just: Dear SirI have owned
a 10-inch Corbin Disk Harrow for thopast four
years and have put it to every possiblo test and
it has givon entire satisfaction. I had long felt
j tho need of a harrow that would pulverize tho
soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep,
and realized that this could not bo done by
any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize
the surface, leaving many clods or lumps
untouched, and these clods would bo worked
to the surface in cultivating tho crop; and all
intelligent farmers know that cloddy land
does not give the best results. 1 fence tlie great
importance of a harrow that will pulverize the
soil as ueep as me piowgoes. my narrow win
thoroughly pulverize to a depth of .seven inches.
I want nothing hotter in stalk land in putting in
wheat or oats than tho Corbin Ifarrow, for it
not only does hotter work than a plow, hut is
so much taster, cutting six feet at a time, and
all farmers know the importance of saving
timo at tho season when these crops are usualty
sown. I venture tho assertion that no farmer
who owns a Corbin Harrow would ho without
it for twice its cost. Two groat advantages tho
harrow possess ovor most irnprovod farming
implements is its simplicity and durability.
Any sleepy*headed free negro can operate it if
he has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have
prepared stubble land for planting, where there
I was 110 rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, by
harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with
the last, as well or better than I have ever done
with a plow. Much more might be said about,
the Corbin Harrow but I think I have said j
enough to induce farmers to inquire into its
morits. All who investigate will be converted, j
