"But you should always look into the misty future," went on the friend, demurely. "Next winter you will want to make holes in your boot-heels, so you can get your skates on." "I use club skates,?-no straps required." "You may want to screw some boards together some time. The old-fashioned method of driving screws in with a hammer is pernicious, as it deteriorates the tenacity of the fangs of the screws, as it were." "Nothing to-day, sir." "The gimlet also acts as a corkscrew?" "I don't want it." "It may be used as a tack hammer, a cigar-holder, and a tooth-brush." "I don't wan't it." "It has an eraser, a pen, an inkstand, a for oomnutinc comuound interest, and a lunch-box attachment." "I can't help it; I don't want it." "I know you don't. You're one of those mean men that won't buy a gimlet unless it has a restaurant, a trip to Europe, and an Italian opera company attached. You're the kind of a man who would live near an electric light to save a gas bill." And the peddler walked out with his mental plunge on the perpendicular. Milk in the Cocoanut.?Whether the familiar saying about "the milk in the cocoanut" had its origin in a trick f)layed upon a city marshal by a Maine iquor dealer, or merely acquires therefrom a new application, the story is worth telling, and the Somerville Journal tells it very well: "One night the liquor-dealer made a wager with the marshal that he could bring a large quantity of liquor into the city and sell it in small wholesale lots without the latter's being able to catch him. The next day the liquor-dealer disappeared, only to reappear as suddenly a couple of days later. The marshal's myrmidons soon detected a very strong odor of whisky in the public breath, but after vainly hunting the source of supply for a week, the marshal suddenly thought of his wager, and made a descent on his friend, but found nothing illegal on the premises. After dismissing his officers, the marshal said: " 'Look here, X , this town is just chuck full of whisky, and I believe you are at the bottom of the barrel. Now, give us the racket, and, if you have won your wager, I'll pay up and say nothing about it.' "With a broad grin, the other replied, as he selected a cocoanut from a basketful in the corner: " 'Here; take that home and sample it. I passed five thousand of them under your very nose last week, and this is the last of the lot.' "The marshal paid up, and left with his 1~ 1? etaiupic. Too Business-Like.?Some people deserve the imputation of being "too sentimental," but others, alas! lose some of life's best gifts through an excess of practicality. Two girl-friends were one day discussing a young man who had offered one of them somewhat marked attention. "What made you discourage him, Kitty ? I know you did," said Elinor. "Well, you see," answered Kitty confidentially, "he was a little too matter-offact. He sent me his photograph in an unsealed envelope, just as if it had been a circular." "Perhaps he felt stingy, and didn't want to sacrifice an extra cent," suggested Elinor. "No, that wasn't it; he merely took such a business-like view of all transactions that it simply didn't occur to him to pay more than postal laws require. And then?now, Nell, you won't tell?" "Never!" "Not as long as you live ?" "Not if I should be older than Methuselah !" "Well, he actually did propose to me, in a letter written with a type-writer! I can't be sure it wasn't dictated to an amanuensis. Now. Nell, could any reasonable girl be expected to say 'yes' to a question put in that way?" Elinor agreed that so prosaic a young man might not be acceptable to some girls. Sold.?"I had an amusing experience once when I was a boy," writes a young farmer to the Atlanta Constitution. "I confess that I was pretty green at the time. I lived with my father upon a farm near Columbus, and used to haul wood into the city and sell it. "One day I had entered town with my customary load, when, as I passed a large building, some one poked his head partly out of a window, and asked if the wood was for sale. I replied in the affirmative. " 'Well, throw it over this fence,' came back from th e upper window. "The house was surrounded by a high wall, but I managed to pitch it over, and then went around to the front gate to get my pay. I could not get in ; I hammered and called in vain, when some passer-by, attracted by my frantic efforts to gain entrance, enquired what was the matter, and informed me that the building was the jail. "One of the prisoners had played a joke upon me. I could not get my money or the wood back, and returned home with empty wagon and pockets." Timid.?Thero is such a thing as too much ingenuity in finding excuses. A prisoner at the bar, who was charged with stealing a dozen apples from a poor woman's fruit stand, was cross-examined by the prosecuting attorney: "You admit that you took this fruit from the woman's stock without paying her?" "Yis, sir." "What did you do that for?" "I didn't know how much tho price wuz." "Then why didn't you ask the woman ?" "Oh, ye see, sir, I wuz alluz terrible bashful with tho ladies." The court thought such excessive bashfulness a criminal offence, and sent the man to jail.

"You considered it unwomanly and indelicate, I believe." "Very." "And you don't see how any man could allow his wife to do anything of the kind." "Yes, I think so now." "Well, Mr. Smithers, in view of all the facts in the case, I feel justified in asking you for a new silk dress." "A new silk dress?" "Yes; for the last eight years I have had nothing better than eight-cent calico, and I want something else. I'm tired of getting into print."

The New Orleans Cotton Exchange Thinks Cotton Bagging has Come to Stay. From tin: New Orleans Times-Democrat. On July 23 the New Orleans Cotton Exchange appointed a committee to make a reply to a communication from the Liverpool Cotton Association on the subject of the use of cotton bagging for covering bales of cotton. The communication suggested several difficulties in the way of its use, all of which appear in the reply made thereto by the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, which reply is appended. i The feeling of the Liverpool Cotton Association is apparent in the concluding paragraph of their communication, which reads as follows: "While asking for this information, with : 1 * ? tn r? An f Ko on nc f inn i il VltJW U1 iCglOIUlHlg VLl U1U VjUVJUV/u, I should it unfortunately become necessary ! to do so, the board respectfully urge upon | your Exchange to do all in its power to encourage a return to the use of jute bagging, and so obviate the necessity of meeting the almost insuperable difficulties which the adoption of the new bagging would raise." New Orleans Cotton Exchange, ) New Orleans, July 29, 1889. ) | John Itoxburgh, President Liverpool Cotton Association, Limited, Liverpool, Eng.?Dear Sir: Your communication of loth instant, relative to the use of cotton bagging as a covering for cotton bales came to hand in due course of mail. I now beg to reply thereto, first to the "several difficulties" you enumerate as in the way of its adoption,and secondly to your inquiries. The first difficulty : "That some underwriters, in consequence of tests made last year, think itsuseinstead of'jute bagging' undesirable." The best information on the merits of the cotton bagging, from an underwriter's point of view, is to be found in the report of the test made in this city, September 17, 1888, by several representatives of insurance companies. You will please find a copy of that report hereto annexed, and marked "A." That test was certainly decidedly favorable to the cotton bagging and adverse to the jute, and demonstrates that the use of cotton bagging will positively diminish fire risks. To second difficulty: "That it will not afford sufficient protection against damage." The report of experiments on this point indicate that it is a good covering. The thread of the cotton bagging is hard twisted and the meshes are small, while the jute is loosely twisted and the meshes large. Water poured on a cotton covered bale is less absorbed than if poured on a jute covered To third difficulty: "That if the weight suggested in the information laid before the board, three-quarters of a pound per yard, it will not be strong enough to resist rough handling en route, and this will increase the cost of mending on arrival." It is claimed that the combination of light weight and great strength is a favorable feature in the cotton bagging. Exporters have never objected to bales covered with it. To fourth difficulty: "That great inconvenience will arise from the use of two kinds of bagging, even though some temporary arrangements be arrived at for the ensuing season.As cotton bagging will be very considerably used this season, the incidental inconvenience cannot be avoided. The cotton factor here cannot dictate to his clients, planters and merchants, the kind of bagging to be used in covering the cotton crop. It is to the interest of all concerned to have established without delay a proper basis of adjustment of the difference in value, arising from the difference in weight of covering,and then all inconvenience will terminate. To fifth difficulty: "That the absence of similar bagging here for mending purposes and the doubtfulness as to whether it could be obtained for some time to come, will complicate the question of allowances for tare." The cotton bagging can be readily supplied from here or can be quickly manufactured by English mills, or second-hand bagging can be obtained for mending purposes. To sixth difficulty: "That the increased cost of supplying such bagging will cause a distinct loss to the importer on every pound of bagging added for mending, the cost of cotton bagging per pound being considerably in excess of the same weight of cotton." Competent authority states that cotton bagging can be manufactured per pound at a price not much above the price of good ordinary cotton. That any loss will come to the importers by the use of cotton bagging seems to be very improbable. The exercise of their traditional intelligence and their usual observance of such facts as are likely to effect net results will be ample protection to them. To the several questions you ask I beg to reply as follows: Answer to the first interrogatory : It is uncertain what portion of the cotton crop of the current year will be covered with the cotton fabric, but present advices indicate a considerable quantity. IIow much cannot now be reported. Answer to second interrogatory: Wheth er more bands than are at present used will be required for the proper protection of bales covered with this description of bagging? There seems to be no reason for any increase of bands. It is stated by persons engaged in the actual handling of cotton bales that this bagging is a good substitute for the jute and no increase of bands is needed. Answer to third interrogatory: What weight per yard is it likely to be? The weight of cotton bagging is designed to be not less than three-quarters of a pound per yard, and 37* or 44 inches wide. A sample of the cotton bagging is forwarded to you, in compliance with your request. Last season several qualities of cotton goods were used to cover cotton, such as sheeting, osnaburgs and other inferior goods. These light fabrics were clearly unequal to the rough handling, and the bad condition of bales covered with these goods have been indiscriminately quoted to discredit the bona fide cotton bagging. However, the bales covered with sheetings and osnaburgs were freely bought without objection by all exporters. They will be bought as willingly again if they can be had at same advantages as to tare. The lighter covering is clearly a source of certain and considerable profit to the Liverpool importer under the last season's method of sale here, and his gain represents a corresponding loss to the planter. This is an improper condition, and it is necessary that it be corrected. The numerous and powerful planters' organizations in our cotton States, "The Farmers' Alliance" and others, have declared their intention to use cotton bagging and?they will use it. They expect their cotton-covered bales to be sold as advantageously as their jute-covered bales. This is not impracticable or an unreasonable expectation. They have eight to nine pounds less bagging than the jute-covered bales, and also five and a quarter pounds of cotton that is susceptible of conversion into some other goods. It seems inevitable that these valuable considerations must command the recognition of every buyer and seller of cotton. The Liverpool importer can scarcely insist upon a discrimination against the lighter covering because of any inconvenience arising from the use of two kinds of bagging. It does seem that the several dilliculties in the way of the use of cotton bagging, as recited in your letter, are scarcely of serious gravity. Your suggestion of insufficiency of strength seems the only one that seems open to discussion. The inquiries inofifntnfl flna l<Velionf*n /Iiar>lnoori unmn conflict of opinion as to the ability of the cotton bagging to bear rough handling. However, the preponderance of opinion and the most substantial opinion of careful observers of this fabric in actual use is in favor of its sufficiency. Unless the objections to cotton bagging are well founded upon its intrinsic unworthiness, the opposition to its use ought to be of short duration. It is remembered that when iron bands for baling cotton were first substituted for rope, exporters, ship agents and ship masters and insurance companies denounced the innovation. Cotton bales secured with iron bands were hauled to the ship's side and refused. The iron bands were required to be removed and rope substituted before the bales would be received in the ship. The change from jute to cotton in covering for cotton bales is not so radical as the change above mentioned, and there seems to be no good reason why any improvements should stand in the way of the uso of any cotton fabric suitable for covering cotton bales. The U9e of the two kinds of bagging will be some inconvenience to both buyer and seller in this market. However, its use to some extent being inevitable, and as the use or disuse of cotton bagging is beyond the control of this Exchange, a quick understanding about the difference resulting from difference in weight of the two kinds of coverings is very desirable. Very respectfully, Stanley O. Thomas, President New Orleans Cotton Exchange. A SENSATIONAL AFFAIR. At Lathrop, California, on the 14th instant, occurred a bloody sequel to the famousdivorce proceedings, instituted about four years ago by an adventuress, Sarah Althea Hill, against the California millionaire, Senator Sharon,'Miss Hill claiming to be his lawfully wedded wife. The decisions of the courts were adverse to Miss Hill's claims, and subsequently she married Judge David S. Terry, who had warmly espoused her cause during all the years of her litigation to establish her claim to a share of the Sharon estate as the wife of Senator Sharon. The story of the tragedy is thus told by dispatches from Dathrop, California: Upon the arrival of the Southern overland train at Lathrop on Wednesday morning, 14th instant, at 7.20 o'clock, Associate Justice Stephen J. Field, of the United States supreme court, and Deputy United States Marshal Nagle walked into the depotdiningroom for breakfast and sat down side by side. Soon afterwards Judge David S.Terry and wife (formerly Sarah Althea Hill) came in. They were proceeding to another table, when Mrs. Terry, evidently recognizing Justice Field, did not sit down, but retired to the train. Before she reached it, however, and as soon as she had left the dining room, Judge Terry approached Justice Field, and stooping over him slapped his face. At this juncture Deputy Marshal Nagle arose from his seat and shot Judge Terry through the heart. As he was falling the deputy marshal fired at him again, but missed him, the bullet going through the floor. The shots were fired in quick succession. Judge Terry did not utter a word after being shot, lie hardly had fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body and threw herself upon it. Then ensued a scene of the wildest excitement. People rushed from the dining room and others rushed in. During this time Justice Field and Deputy Marshal Nagle retreated to the sleeping car, where they were securely locked in. At times Mrs. Terry would call upon the citizens to arrest them. After the shooting, Deputy United States Marshal Nagle backed up against the wall of the dining room and warned everyone not to arrest him, saying he was a United States officer in the discharge of his duty. There was no semblance of attempt to molest him at any time. Nagle was arrested at Tracy, by a deputy sheriff, and lodged in the jail at Stockton, aud District Attorney White ordered the arrest of Justice Field upon his arrival in San Francisco, and telegraphed the order to the sheriff of San Francisco. On the arrival of the train at Oakland, Justice Field gave a press representative the following account of the affair: "I can tell you the story in a few words. For the last few months all manner of reports, both public and personal, have reached me that Judge Terry had threatened to subject me to some form of indignity if he should happen to meet me. This caused the United States marshal to decide to provide such protection as ho could during my stay in the State. When I started to Los Angeles to hold court, Deputy Nagle accompanied me. He seemed to be a quiet, gentlemanly official, though I only met him twice while away from Los ADgeles. He asked me in that city when I intended to return, and he accompanied me, taking a seat in the sleeping car opposite to me. We heard this morning that Judgo Terry and his wife were on the train, but paid no attention to the fact. When we arrived at Lathrop we entered the eating station to get breakfast. I took a seat at the end of the table, while Nagle sat on one side of me. Terry and his wife came in the room soon after. As soon as she saw me she went out of the room, as I afterwards learned, going to the car for her satchel. Judge Terry rose and I supposed he intended accompanying her. Instead of doing so he walked back to me, and struck me a heavy slap in the face. I was completely astonished, and seeing he was making ready to strike again Nagle cried out 'Stop! stop!' but Terry did not desist, and as he was raising his arm a second time Nagle shot at him, the bullet entering his heart. He fell to the floor, Nagle shooting a second time, but tho shot did not strike him. Nagle was arrested at Tracy, and taken to Stockton to await the inquest. That is the complete story as far as I am aware of tho facts." JUDGE TERRY'S CAREER. David S. Terry was born in Todd county, Ky., in 1823. He served in the Texan army under Sam Houston. He came to California in 1849, and settled in Calaveras county. In 1855 he was elected justice of the supreme court of California on the Native American ticket, and upon the death of Chief Justice Murray in 1857, Judge Terry became chief justice. He was opposed to the vigilance committee of 185G and stabbed one of the members of the committee who had attempted to arrest Malony, a friend of Terry's. Terry was held by the Vigilantes, but was afterwards released. He killed Senator Broderick in 1859 as the result of political differences, Terry belonging to what was known as the "Chivalry" wing of the Democratic party. In 1880 Terry was defeated as a Hancock elector, although his associates were elected. On September 8,188S, he was sent to jail for four months, for contempt of court, by Justice Field. Pie was at one time chief justice of the supreme court of California, and has always been a prominent figure in the political history of the State. The killing of Broderick caused at the time deep personal resentment against Terry by a portion of the people of the State, which threatened to terminate his career in California, but he always had a number of adherents and remained in tne state, mougn ne una only once or twice been before the people for position. He was married to Sarah Althea Hill, who claimed to be tho wife of Ex-Senator Sharon, while prosecuting her claim against the Sharon estate. This brought him into a resentful attitude to Justice Field, who last year rendered a decision in the United States circuit court in San Francisco, denying her claim to be the wife ol Sharon. Mrs. Terry created a scene in court during the reading of the decision, charging Justice Field with being corrupt, and, as she refused to remain quiet, Justice Field directed that she be removed from court. When the deputy attempted to carry out the order of the court she became involved in a personal quarrel with that ollicial, and Judge Terry interfered, drawing a dagger from his vest. He was disarmed and both Terry and his wife were adjudged in contempt and committed to jail. In the meantime Justice Field went to Washington to resume his duties on the bench, returning to San Francisco six weeks ago. Newspaper articles wero printed intimating that it would be dangerous for Justice Field and Judge Terry to meet personally, as it was thought that the latter might insult the former, while the fact was also recognized that Justice Field would be quick to resent an attack from Terry, knowing it could only result fatally to one or tho other, in view of the hitter's record. If Judge Terry had intended to provoke Justice Field, and to draw a weapon before the latter could turn, is, of course, not known, as Deputy Nagle, who sat opposite, prevented this by tiring, resulting in the instant death of Terry. WHY NACJLK ACCOMPANIED JUSTICE FIELD. Protection was accorded Justice Field, it is claimed, by authority of United States Attornev-tleneral Miller, who telegraphed from Washington to the marshal of the district to see that the person of the justice was protected at any hazard. The order extended also to Judge Sawyer, of the United Statcseircuit court in San Francisco, upon whom Mrs. Terry made a personal assault last year while on a railroad train accompanied by Judge Terry. The order was based upon this fact, and upon the threats declared to have been made openly by Terry against Justice Field. Deputy Marshal Nagle was directed to accompany Justice Field under this order, and is said to have given Judge Terry full warning to stop when the latter began his attack on Justice Field, and fired at Terry as the latter was about to strike the second time. WJIO NAGLE IS. David Nagle, deputy United States marshal, who killed Terry, was appointed in 18S1 chief of police of Tombstone. While occupying that position ho had frequent encounters with tho criminal element and soon earned the reputation for himself of being a man of undisputablo courage and bravery, lie shot and killed a Mexican desperado in Tombstone after a fierce encounter. Nagle was appointed deputy marshal a year ago, and when Terry made the assault on Marshal Frank last September, Nagle disarmed him. The reports circulated that Terry intended doing Justice Field some injury when they met, caused Nagle to be detailed to act as a body guard to him when he came to the coast a few months ago.

The subject was one of special interest, and well did the minister maintain his reputation as a profound reasonerand hard student. He is a man of great physical and mental powers, and his devotion to the Christian cause is well established and generally accepted. Were it at all practicable I would give a full report of his sermon ; but as the space allotted to a newspaper correspondent is too small for that, I give the principal subdivisions and Scriptural quotations, from which the reader can forma comprehensive idea of the subject he so ably and logically set forth. j. l. s. KKMINISCEXCES*~UF"WESTERN YORK. For the Yorkvllle Enquirer. Many years ago the people of Western York found much sport and pleasure in what was known as the "squirrel hunt." This was conducted upon a strictly business plan. Those who took part in it would meet at some designated spot at a given hour in the morning. Two men, known as captains, would divide the gunners and each divide and sub-divide his squad into hunting parties, with one, two or three men in each. Each group was an independent organization and could divide itself into as many minor divisions as the exigencies of the case would demand, or as tho gunners would choose. An hour and place were set for meeting in the evening. The prize consisted of a gallon or two gallons of stew, according to the size of tho crowd. Each squirrel counted one, a hawk two and a wild turkey five, and so on. A rabbit counted one. Game of any kind killed would be brought in to be counted, or if that was impracticable, the "skelp" must come. Crows, jaybirds, partridges, and, in fact, everything that would destroy corn, or was otherwise a nuisance, was killed and counted upon a specified schedule. The hour and place of meeting having been previously announced, large crowds would gather to see the gunners come in with their conquests. A large pot wouici be in readiness to cook, or fire to bake or broil the moat, and a general neighborhood barbecue was the result. When the gunners met in the morning the money was made up and some one designated to buy the liquor and have the stew ready when the result of the day's work was announced. The winning party would or would not invite their opponents to drink, just as they chose. Liquor was plentiful and cheap, and like the Irishman, they could "take a wee bit straight and drink a grog while the stew was making," and by the time these mixed drinks got a show, somebody was drunk, sure enough. One among the principal actors on these occasions was Bill Childers. lie could kill as much game and drink as much liquor as anybody. Tom Lanier, in the daytime, was an important factor, too. Hen Lolin was no slow coach, and a number of other names might be mentioned that would remind my older readers of by gonedays. My young readers may think that two or three hundred squirrels killed on one of these hunts would be an incredible number to give, but I am satisfied it was so in many cases; that is, in counting the different kinds of game and birds, scheduled with one squirrel as a unit from which to count tho result. The school house spring at Hickory Grove was a popular place for these hunting parties to resort for their fun and pastime.

THE CORBIN C .fllllH COKIJIN DISK HARROW has now! i JL boon in tlio hands of fsmnors for moro tlmn illLocn yo:irs, and ih to-day porliaps tno most | popular farming implement of its kind that j lias over been ollbred to thom. It is used in every Stato and Territory in tlio United States, i and in Canada, Russia, Mexico, Now Zealand, j Australia, South America and Ireland. It has j been awarded medals of superiority by the j great American Institute Fair, The World's I Exposition at Now Orleans, and at every State j and local display of agricultural implements i whore exhibited. DESCRIPTION. Tho above illustration gives a correct idea of tho general appearance of the Corbin Harrow ready for use. It hasstcel disks thataro turned to a knife edge. They aro firmly and substantially attached to theaxlo by 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, but if dosirod to take tho Harrow to pioces, a few moments' work will readily detach these parts and enable tho operator to tako off or get out any of the disks in either gang. It has a wooden T boam?steel axles?woodon seat standards?wrought hand lever?anti-friction balls in boarings. Tho Corbin Harrow was tho first to adopt and socuro by letters of patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for the journals, to prevent tho wearing of the boxes and to losson the draft. Tho entire boxing is protected by sand bands and is furnished with solf oiling boxes coverod with a dust proof oil cap. Tho axlo revolves in a bearing formed of eleven chilled iron balls, which makes tho machine the lightest draft harrow in tho world. Two sizes of disks aro used. The smallest size is 13 inches in diamoter and tho largest 1(5. Tho manufacturers make harrows with 12, 1(5, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has demonstrated the fact that tho 13-inch, 12-disk, or tho l(Mnch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is host adapted to general farm work. The price of the 13-inch, 12-disk, Ilarrowis $35.00 Tho price of tho 10-inch, 12-disk, is $40.00. * n +i.? u?, A rtfw vrurus ui riaisc iur uic iiariun. Tho following words of praise for the Corbin Disk Harrow are published for tho information of those 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, wo feel warranted in saying that their testimony will bo convincing to the most skeptical: Mr. Wiii. H. Herndon's Endorsement. Yoiikvili.k, S. C., July 10, 1889. I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and would not bo 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 implomont mado. W.m. II. IIerndon. Mr. Rob't E. Guthrie's Evidence. Gijtiiriksvillk, S. C., July 5, 18.89. Capt. L. M. Uuts'r: Dear Sir:?I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using for sovoral years, and consider it the most valuable farming implement of which I have any j knowlcdgo. I uso my Disk Harrow in sowing all of my small grain, and it does the work better than any implement I have ovor used, i Land that has been cultivated in cotton or corn, may be sown without any preparation whatever, and an ordinary hand, with two mules, can sow and cover six to oight acres in a day. All that is necessary is to sow the seod on the ground, and then run tho Harrow over it one time: but better results will bo obtained if tho Harrow is run over tho ground two or three times. As a time and money savor,aside from tho superior quality of work it does, its valuo can hardly lie estimated at thoseasons at which tho small grain is sown. The Harrow is very useful in pulverizing rough plowed land ofany kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any : farmer to uso one. Unlike tho ordinary tooth, [ or Acme harrow, it not only pulverizos tho , surfaeo, but will pulvcrizo "to tho depth to j which tho plow has gone and ofton deeper. It can bo used to ailvantagoon land that is too wot to plow, without injury to tho land. There should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow on every well regulated farm, and in my opinion no harrow yet introduced is equal to the Corbin in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of work.

I, niont, I would say that I consider mysolf in- j competent to do "the implement jusiico, but;, will try to give some idea of my estimato of its j value. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow to i bo the most valuable farming implement I have \ ever used, or oyer expect to uso. There is no other implement of which I have any knowl- j edge that will do as many different'kinds of work, or do the work so well. There is no im- ! element which will do equal service that I iiavo oyer seen, that is so simple in construction or which is loss liable to get out of order. Itisonoof the few improved farming implements which can be used to advantago by the ordinary negro. The Corbin Harrow will more than pay for itself in one season if given half a chance. I now have on my farm a Id-inch, 12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price of,' which was SUA. and althouirh the imnlcmcnt has i been in use nearly fivo years, if it was impossible to get another, I would not take livo times | its cost for it. In conclusion, lot mo say that i somo of my assertions may sound extravagant j to somo of my brother farmers who aro not j familiar with the Corbin Harrow, but I will j say to those who may doubt any of my state- j monts, that I will take pleasure in demonstrat- ! ing the truth of each and every assertion to | the entire satisfaction of all who will call at my | farm near town. I hopo to see, or hoar, at an ', early day, of a Corbin Harrow being on the i farms of hundreds of farmers in this section. Very Respectfully, W. M. Wat.kkr. , Mr. F. II. Dover's Verdict. Grover, X. C., July 10, 1889. Capt. L. M. Grist: Dear SirI haveownod } a IG-inch Corbin Disk Harrow for the past four I years and hayo put it to ovory possible test and it has given entiro satisfaction. I had long felt the neod of a harrow that would pulverize the 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 be worked to the surface in cultivating the crop; and all intelligent farmers know that cloddy land does not give the best results. Hence the great importance of a harrow that will pulverizo the soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. I want nothing bettor in stalk land in putting in wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it not only does better work than a plow, but is so much laster, cutting six feet at a time, and all farmers know the importance of saving tinio at tho season whon those crops aro usually sown. 1 venture tho assertion that no farmer , who owns a Corbin Harrow would bo without j it for twice its cost. Two great advantages tho | harrow possess ovor most improved farming ! implements is its simplicity and durability. 1 Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if ho has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have prepared stubble land for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, by ; harrowingit twice, crossing the first work with ! the last, as well or hotter than I have ever done ! with a plow. Much more might bo said about j tho Corbin Harrow but I think I have said I enough to induce farmers to inquire into its moms. ^ v 11 win; 111 v usiigmu win i;u muvui iuu. Very Respectfully, Felix H.
