gumotflusi Department. GIVING NOTICE. During a long debate in the house of representatives, which preceded the war of 1812, party spirit became so violent that political opponents threw aside courtesey, and treated each other as foreign enemies. An anecdote, reported by the late Henry A. Wise, of Virginia, illustrates the excitement in that congress. Among the members of the house were Governor Wright, of Maryland, a strenuous advocate of the war, Timothy Pickering, of Massachusetts, a leader of the Federalists, and an opponent of the proposed declaration of war. One day, John Randolph, who had been riding, came to the door of the house, whip in hand, and began conversing with several members. During the talk Govera rirtoui-osl with a nilp nf hnfllf S T? * U|/^U?V\4f % w. ^ ? under each arm, which prevented him from using either hand in salutation. "What does this mean, Governor?"asked Randolph, pointing to the books. "It means that I am going to convict Tim Pickering of high treason," answered the Governor. "But, sir," said Randolph, "you do not mean to attack Mr. Pickering without giving him notice?" "Do you think etiquette demands that of me ?" asked the Governor, a little alarmed lest he should be guilty of an unchivalrous deed. "I thought you were always for a declaration of war before beginning hostilities," replied Randolph, slightly sarcastic, for he also was opposed to the war. "Well, then, sir, he shall have notice, and that, too immediately," said the Governor. He stalked down the aisle, stopped at the seat of the Federal leader, a digni tied, elegant gentleman and nudged his elbow. Mr. Pickering, turning at the unexpected movement, was greeted with, "Look here, do you see that ?" and the Governor pointed with his right fore-finger to the books under his left arm. "Yes, sir," said Mr. Pickering, coldly. "And do you see that ?" pointing with his left fore-finger to the books under the right arm. "Yes, sir." "With these I mean to give you a trouucing!" said the Governor, walkingto his seat. Indefinite.?A case was being tried in court, and the particular question at issue was the number of persons present when a certain event occurred. An nonest but simple-minded German was on the stand. He had never taken an oath before, and was not a little disconcerted. The lawyer who conducted the cross-examination saw his opportunity, and badgered him with questions after the manner of his kind. "How many did you say there were present?" he shouted, bringing his fist down upon the table as though the fate of empires trembled in the balance. "Veil," meekly answered the witness, "off course I gould not chust say, but I dinks dere vas betveen six undsefen." "Tell the jury what you mean by that!" roared the lawyer. "How could there be between six and seven ? Were there six, or were there seven ?" "Veil," answered the witness, "maybe I vas wrong. There vas more as six, but dere were not so much as sefen. One vas a very leetle boy." Open or Shut??Riding on a railroad train, a gentleman, sitting next an open window, was tapped on the shoulder sharply by a woman behind him who said, "I wish you'd shut that window right off, mister. I'm freezing," "Freezing!" exclaimed another woman, who occupied the same seat with the gentleman ; "you aint doing anything of the sort. I'm just suffocating with the heat." "I'm freezin', I tell you !" "And I tell you I'm suffocating !" "I'll tell you what to do," said an elderly man in the seat in front, turning around impatiently; "shut the window, by all means, until this one is suffocated, and then open it until the other freezes to death!" This was decidedly a rude remark, but it emphasizes the need of courtesy if one wishes to travel pleasantly on railroad trains. 16?* An old preacher, after service one Sunday, announced his reading for the following Sunday. During the week some mischievous boys obtained his Bible and pasted two of the leaves together right where he was to read. Sunday morning nAnonofl VllG honlr UUUllU^) U1U a^CU UiTlUV vjyvuvu 4?SU vvvuf and readas follows: "And Noah took unto himself a wife who was"?and here he turned the leaf?"forty cubits broad, one hundred and forty cubits long." With a look of astonishment, he wiped his glasses, reread and verified the passage, and then said: "My friends, although I have read the Bible many times, this is the first time I have ever seen this passage, but I take it as another evidence of the fact that man is most fearfully and wonderfully made." Good Standing.?Philip, seven years old, is proud of his standing at school. "Well," said his uncle, who had heard the boy speak rather delightedly about his school triumphs, "what is your relative rank in your class ?" "I?I don't know what vou mean, uncle." "Why, I mean where do you stand in your classes ?" "Oh ! In the reading class I stand near the stove; in the spelling class I stand on the crack juskin front of the big desks, and in the 'rithemeticclass I don't stand at all, 'cos we just siton the recitation bench!" Politeness.?Two men were riding through a lane. "See," said one of them, pointing to an old negro who, upon seeing them, had taken off his hat, those "downtrodden people never forget their politeness. Nothing could induce that old man to keep his hat on in our presence." The old negro (having concealed his hat under his coat) bowed and said : "Genermen, kaint you gib de ole man fifty cents to buy er hat wid ? Lost my hat er munt ergo an' ain't had money nuff ter by er nudder. Gib me de money an' de Lawd ain't gwine ter furgit you." Simple.?Some children are bright enough to discover the cross-cuts to knowledge at a very early age. "What is a diamond?" asked a teacher. "Carbon," replied the class. "Yes, a diamond is pure carbon; but you must remember that coal is also carbon. That was taught in the last lesson." "Yes'm." "Now, how could you be sure to tell the difference between the two kinds of carbon ?" "Ask the price!" piped up a small boy. # ? ? . Not of His Raising.?"Uncle Ben, yourson was found fooling around my hencoop last night, and 1 came very near catching him. He had his hand on a chicken, but he let it go when he heard me." "Boss, did yer say he had a hand on a chicken an' den let it go?" "I did." "Den 'twar'n't none ob my son. Dat nigge' war'n't none of ray raising." Cruel.?"I was very sick, wasn't I?" said Snivins to his wife. "Yes; the doctors had about given you up." "Weren't you afraid of losing me ?" "Not in the least." "Why not?" "Because I learned years ago that it is nlmnst imnnssihle to lose or f?ive awav anything that is absolutely worthless." 16?* Augustus.?I)-do you know, Miss Oclara, I don't s-s-stutter half so m-much as I used t-to do ? Clara?Ileally. "Yaas. Been under t-t-treatment, you know. S-s-simplest t-t-thing in the world. All you have t-t-to d-d-do is to t-t-think before you s-s-speak, and exerc-c-cise your will p-p-power.

"Bid Mr. Oaderson?er?speak to you, papa?" ,4Yes; he told me he had asked you to marry him, and you had consented; and then he wanted my permission." "And what did you say papa, dear ? You consented, of course?" "No. I told him if you had said 'yes' that settled it. Anything I might say or do wouldn't make the slightest difference." t@p A man, last Sunday, was about to lay his hand upon the door of the church, when a little girl in the street said, "You can't get in there, mister." "Why not," he said; "isn't this a church?" "Yes," said the little girl, but the preacher has gone to Europe for six months, and taken &od with him." 7 ?he ?faM and ^fireside. PROTECTION AGAINST FLIES. The plague of Hies touches a very tender spot?the pocketbook?for it causes animals to lose flesh, or at least to make less gain than they would otherwise. By affording protection to the animals, we save money as truly as we do by giving them comfortable shelter. The best protection for hogs is the wallow. Though cattle have tough hides, flies occasion them much discomfort, and it is humane and is profitable to make a smudge. In some situations, this is actually necessary at certain seasons. The animals soon learn to take advantage of the smoke. Horses suffer greatly from flies, on account of a tenderer skin and sensitive nervous organization. When we have them at work, their struggles against their tormentors are annoying to us. It is unpleasant to use animals kicking, biting and stamping at flies. For farm teams the cheapest protection is leather nets. With reasonable care, these will last for years. They should be cleaned and oiled of loocf nnpp ? mnnfh while thev are in use, or the sweat of the animals will rapidly rot them. They increase the warmth of the animal as little as any efficient protection. Cotton nets are a good protection to the carriage horse, but are not strong enough for farm work. Those who can not buy leather nets should get the coarsest gunny sacking. This, being very open, does not much heat the animal. The cover should reach over the neck, with pockets to cover the ears. These covers should be washed once a month while in use, and when they are put away at the end of fly time. Gnats infest the inside ol horses' ears. Pure lard is a good protection, applied once a day. The deposit by the hot fly of its eggs under the jaw, makes many horses almost unmanageable. A cloth can be tied to the bridle in such a way as to protect the jaw. The legs of horses require protection even more than their bodies. Flies choose the legs, as the skin on these parts is thinner, and the blood vessels are nearer the surface. It is strange we do not oftener see the legs of the animals protected, as the flies are not much disturbed by stamping. Leggings from old overalls, or made of gunny sack, are good material, and the man ashamed to drive a team so protected about his farm, has far more false pride than good sense. Leggings made like the leather nets for the body are in the end, the cheapest, and can be made by any harness maker.?["Exchange. RILES FOR THE^CARE OF THE EARS. 1. Never put anything into the ear for the relief of toothache. 2. Never wear cotton in the ears if they are discharging pus. 3. Never attempt to apply a poultice to the inside of the canal of the ear. 4. Never drop anything into the ear unless it has been previously warmed. 5. Never use anything but a syringe and warm water for cleansing the ears from pus. 6. Never strike or box a child's ears; this has been known to rupture the drumhead, and cause incurable deafness. 7. Never wet the hair if you have any tendency to deafness; wear an oiled-silk cap when bathing, and refrain from diving 8. Never scratch the ears with anything but the finger, if they itch. Do not use head of a pin, hair pins, pencil tips, or anything of that nature. 9. Never let the feet become cold and damp, or sit with the back toward a window, as these things tend to aggravate any existing hardness of hearing. 10. Never put milk, fat or any oily substance into the ear for the relief of pain, for they soon become rancid and tend to incite inflammation. Simple warm water will answer the purpose better than anything else. 11. Never be alarmed if a living insect enters the ear. Pouring warm water into the canal will drown it, when it will generally come to the surface, and can be removed with the fingers. A few puffs of tobacco will stupefy the insect. 12. Never meddle with the ear if a foreign body, such as a bead, button or seed enters it; leave it absolutely alone, but have a physician attend to it. More damage has been done by injudicious attempts at the extraction of a foreign body than could ever come from its presence in the ear.?[Health and Home. WHEN WOMETSHWJLD MARRY. Probably the best time for the average civilized woman to marry would be any age between 24 and 36. It is not said that no woman should many earlier or later than either of these ages; but youth and health and vigor are ordinarily at their highest perfection between those two periods. Very early marriages are seldom desirable for girls and that for many reasons. The brain is immature, the reason is feeble and the character unformed. The considerations which prompt a girl to marry at 17 would in many cases have very little weight with her at 24. At 17 she is a child, at 24 a woman. Where a girl has intelligent parents the seven years between 17 and 24 are the period when mind and body are most amenable to wise discipline, and best repay the thought and toil devoted to their development. Before 17 few girls have learned to understand what life is, what discipline is, what duty is. They cannot value what is best, either in father's wisdom or in the mother's tenderness. When married at that childish period they are like young recruits taken fresh from the farm and the work shop, and hurried off to a long campaign without any period of preliminary drill and training, or like a schoolboy removed from school to a curacy without being sent to the university or to the theological hall. Who can help grieving over a child wife, especially if she have children and a husband who is an inexperienced and possibly exacting boy-man ? The ardor of his love soon cools; the visionary bliss of her poetical imagination vanishes like the summer mist; there is nothing left but disappointment and wonder that what promised to be so beautiful and long a day should have clouded over almost before sunrise.?[Hospital. Teach the Colts.?Colts can be taught by mind as well as children, and this is the first requisite. A colt that will obey a moderate tone in the stable will obey the same out doors, but confidence is the one thing needful. A colt should be curried until he is used to the comb and brush. Should be acquainted with the pitchfork and convinced that a fork is harmless. Should let you poke the handle under or over him, or rub his back with the round side of the tines. If I accidentally prick a colt, I at once tell him I am sorry, ana rut) tne spot witn my nana. Hopes, straps and cloth should be laid, dragged and thrown across the colt's back carefully but persistently till he will hardly notice them. Then blankets and ropes may be used. If you want to roll a barrel through the stable, don't take the colt out, but go ahead of the barrel, never behind it, and gradually get it near enough for the colt to smell it. If he finds a few oats on the head of the barrel, he will never be so much afraid of a barrel again. Umbrellas and overcoats should be used in the same way, and then when your colt is old enough to hitch up you will have a safe horse.?[Farm, Stock and Home. Check-Reins on Horses.?Do away with the check-rein. The head should be free from restraint and carried naturally. The horse will not tire so quickly, and the convenience at watering-troughs is great. A horse looks just as well with its head in a natural position, and often better, and it is far more comfortable for the animal. A horse with its head free can draw a load more easily, and increase the leverage by lowering its head. A tight check will almost bring on paralysis in the neck, and it must be exceedingly painful to keep the muscles and chords strained to one tension all the time. It is cruel. If people are so unwise as to torture j themselves at the caprice of fashion, for the sake of humanity dont torture the ani! mals put in your care. It is not any the less a sin because a dumb beast is the victim. Cruelty is cruelty anywhere. 4Uses ok Salt.?Carpets may be greatly brightened by first sweeping thoroughly and then going over them with a clean cloth and clear salt and water. Use a cupfull of coarse salt to a large basin of water. Salt as a tooth powder is better than most anything that can be bought. It keeps the teeth brilliantly white and the gums hard and rosy. If after having a tooth pulled, the mouth is filled with salt water it will allay the danger of having a hemorrhage. If the fiat irons become rusty they may be made smooth and bright by placing white sand on a smooth board and rubbing the irons over it several times j ^Vansidc tStathmngis. j IST London has 14,247 policemen and 14,467 hacks. 1 HaTStilts are no better in conversation than in a foot-race. !

The poet has truthfully said : "There is not a joy the world can givo Like that it takes away." But I am glad to reverse the force of this assertion as applied to the state of morality and intelligence that actually existed before the war, in many places and among many people of Western York. The fine church buildings and commodious school houses that stand in almost every section, fully verify the truth of what I aver. The ante-bellum worshipers, in many instances, met in old dilapidated church buildings that were a rendezvous for owls and bats the whole year round. Frequently they were without door or window shutters, and more properly resembled sheep cotes than the houses of God. The openings in the top and sides were large enough to throw a half-grown dog throu ;h, and the frigidity of the winter winus made them unendurable while the ministers delivered their messages to their congregations. It was only when these congregations could assemble themselves in the grove, or under a brush arbor in the summer time, that the true spirit of religion would manifest itself. In point of intelligence, some of the ministers were in keeping with their general surroundings. Many of them, at the present day, would be pronounced ignoramuses by the most ignorant people. But they passed current in those days, and will stand for what they are worth in these sketches. Without trying to disparage or cripple the influence of the Christian men who were leaders in the religious movements, I beg to cite a few instances that my young readers may more fully understand the intellectual power that moved this great machine. As Unity was a church at which all the different denominations met to worship, I had a betteropportunity to note the current in which things were drifting among the different denominations there than anywhere else. In many instances the preaching was like Arch. Cooney said about Mike Hooters in Georgia Scenes^: "'Twas nuthin' more'n loud hollerin'." On one occasion I heard a minister preaching about Daniel in the lion's den, when he said: "Daniel was thrown into a din of vinimous beasts, but the whole din of lions had the lockjaw and couldn't hurt him." On another occasion, a minister praying for the conversion of a young lady, is reported to have said that he hoped that "tears might run down her cheek as big as hoss apples." Were it not supremely sacriligious I could call to mind and speak of many incidents to show the ordeal through which the Christian religion has passed since my earliest recollection. It will be a pleasure yet to give some historical facts connected with the founding and building of some of the churches in Western York that to-day are monuments to the memory of their founders. Conspiciously among these are Mount Vernon and Shady Grove. All of the other houses used for public worship in my boyhood are now replaced with good and substantial buildings, and the congregations and clergy that meet in them from time to time are in striking contrast with what they used to be. j. l. s. UNCLE SAM'S POSTOEFICE. There is no department of the government with which so large a part of the people has to do, and none with which the people have to deal so often, as the postoftice. On an average every man, woman and child in the United States both sends and receives something by mail?a letter, a newspaper, a package, once a week throughout the year. Indeed, hardly any feature of the modern civilization is more striking to one who can divest himself of the feeling that the postoftice is a matter of course, than the development of the present extent of communication by means of the mail. When we remember that fifty years ago it cost twenty-five cents to send a single piece of paper, written or printed, from Washington to Boston, and the railroad system was in its infancy, and that letter-sending was a luxury not to be indulged in without consideration, we may see what a vast change a half-century has wrought. At present every one who can write at all sends letters. Children are encouraged to begin correspondence with relatives and friends as soon as they can "print" words. Business men are hardly more sparing of postage stamps than their wives are of pins.' And this modern idea of constant use of the postoffice is whollv the growth of fifty years. Let us compare 1838 with 1888. Fifty years ago the mails were carried on only nineteen hundred miles of railroad in the United States?four hundred miles less than there are now operated in the territorial small State of Massachusetts. Now the mails are carried on one hundred and forty thousand miles of raiiroad. There are, in 1888, fifty-seven thousand postoffices, against twelve thousand in 1838. The revenue of the department was four and a quarter million dollars in 1838, and more than fifty-two and a half millions in the year ended last June. Statistics were not kept of the number of letters and other parcels mailed fifty years ago, but in 188788 the letters transmitted numbered almost seventeen hundred and seventy millions, the postal cards three hundred and seventy-two millions; the newspapers and periodicals one thousand and sixty-three millions, and the packages three hundred and seventy-three millions?a total of three thousand five hundred and seventy-eight million pieces, and an average of almost sixty to each person of the sixty million inhabitants of the United States. American postage rates are by far the cheapest in the world. The English penny rate on letters is the same as the twocent rate, but the distance traversed by letters here is greatly in excess of that in the United Kingdom. Moreover, Great Britain has nothing to compare with the American system of sending newspapers to subscribers at a rate of one cent a pound. It costs a half-penny?one cent?to send each paper in England?at least six times as high a rate as that in the United States, even if no account be taken of the greater distance here. The English "parcel post" is, however, cheaper than the American. Packages of merchandise can be sent at the rate of three pence?six cents?for a single pound, and at a rate growing smaller as the weight increases, until at eleven pounds the charge is only eighteen pence? or about three and a third cents a pound. The United States rate is uniform at one cent an ounce. A four-pound package? the limit of weight?would cost sixty-iour cents ; in England it would cost fifteen cents. No doubt this country will, in time, overtake and surpass its greatest rival in this department of the postal service, as it has already done in other departments. There is no conceivable limit to the expansion of tiiis service, and as the service grows in amount it may grow cheaper. it is prooauiy too soon to iiuiik oi a uuecent rate of letters, but in a few years, at present rates, the department will overcome the deficiency between receipts and expenditures?it was nearly five and a half millions during the past year?and then the one-cent rate will come, as surely as the three-cent rate superseded the five, and the two the three-cent rate. Whether or not any of the other dreams of those who favor extending the postal servicepostal telegraphs, savings bank and the like?are to come true, is a question for the future to auswer. Queer Barometers.?"I can always tell when it is going to rain half a day ahead of any change in fair weather," said champion (leorge Slosson as ho was knocking around billiard balls in the Columbia rooms just after a recent deluge. "How's that?" asked a bystander, getting interested directly. "Why there isn't a better barometer in j existence than an ivory billiard ball or a \ good billiard cue," the billiard expert re- : plied; "they are better than a favorite corn." "J low do you tell ?" "A ball always rolls slow and with difficulty over the cloth when it is going to rain. Ivory is so sensitive to changes of temperature, particularly from dry to moist, that the effect is felt almost instantaneously. The cue will get cranky too, j when there's going to he a change, long before the dampness is perceptible in any other way. Another peculiarity of the ; ivory globes is their tendency to become egg-shaped. They contract at what are j called the top and bottom poles and swell out at the sides, so that you might as j well play with potatoes, if you don't watch the idiosyncracies. They are worse than old men in their susceptibility to ! drought. A drought will crack the ivory I and make it chip off quick as a wink,; and, like old folks, you can never get the | spheres acclimated to these droughts, j Just take a billiard bull and study its be havior, and you can beat the clerk of the weather in prophesying. You can bet on your prophecy every time." A Trek Georije Washington Marked.?Before arriving at Capon Springs, W. \Ta., about half a mile from the spring, a narrow way is seen leading directly across the road, in one direction toward the distant Ohio. This way was made by the order of Gen. Braddoek to facilitate the march of his army during the last French and Indian war which preceded the Revolution. Washington was then on Braddock's staff, serving with the rank of colonel. A tradition is carefully preserved that he and Braddoek drank at the beauty spring, which spring was well known to the Indians, and deemed by them to have great medicinal properties, especially for rheumatism. The Indian maidens were supposed to be quite fond of walking in its waters on account of the silken character which it imparts to the skin. But the great -euriosity of Capon is the only tree remaining, which has the surveyor's mark made by Washington when he measured the Fairfax estate for its ancient lord. C'apt. Vale, the proprietor of the springs, on whose lands it has stood for so long, on account of an accident which has happened to it, has had it hewn down and brought to the patcli where it is to be set up, with proper marks for recognition. Such a relic ought to be in possession of the National Museum at Washington. It is the only relic of the kind which relates to the early life of Washington, long before the era of his fame, when he wandered through the woods of Virginia intent only on his profession. Don't Toss the Da?y.?The throwing a baby into the air and catching him again is always a risky practice, certain though the tosser may he of his quickness of eye and sureness of hand. A sudden and unexpected movement of the child in his mid air flight may result in a cruel fall. A gay young father snatched up his baby boy one morning and tossed him to the ceiling. Twice the little fellow went flying through the air and came down safely into the waiting arms. The third time the excited child pave a spring of delight as his father's hands released him, plunged forward and, pitching over the father's shoulder, fell head downward to the floor. When the poor child came out of the stupor in which it lay for hours, it was found that, although no bones had been broken, the brain had sustained an injury that would in all probability render the child an imbecile. Another baby snatched from the floor and tossed into the air received a fatal wound in the top of the head from the pointed ornament of a chandelier. Still another child slipped between her father's hands as he caught at her in her downward flight, and, although his frenzied grasp on the baby's arm saved her from falling to the ground, it wrenched the muscles and sinews so cruelly that the girl's arm was shrunken and practically useless to her all her life. These are extreme cases, but the factof their occurring at all should be enough to warn one from the habit of relinquishing one's hold on a child when tossing it. Setting the Fashion.?Hard work will accomplish wonders, but it will not take the place of genius. Some things must be done suddenly and in a moment of inspiration. A writer in the Philadelphia Record mentions a case in point, a case in which a social revolution was wrought, so to speak, by a stamp of the foot. I once found a celebrated milliner in tears because a gem of a hat, the result of many attempts, had failed to suit a very fussy customer. Her feelings getting the better of her judgment, she threw the condemned hat on the floor and jumped on it, crushing it into an entirely new shape. A clerk, who had seen the outburst of temper, put the misused hat away in tin drawer. Half an hour later a lady customer came in, and another clerk, after showing her nearly all the hats and bonnets in the stnek and failiner to nlease her fancy, brought forth the crushed* hat, with the remark : "Here is something that will suit you." To my surprise it did suit her. She purchased it, and insisted upon wearing it at once. Calling at the same place a week afterward, I was told that some half-dozen hats had been made like the crushed one, and were being worn by very fashionable people. The House in Which Lee Surrendered.?Major McLean owned and lived on the farm on which the Bull Run tight, or the first Manassas engagement, took place. About June 1,1801, the positiou of the armies was rather close and uncomfortable, and the Major refugeed to Appomattox, with his family, and purchased tho house in which General Lee surrendered to General Grant, and was present when the articles of agreement were signed. He occupied the building until i his death, when it was purchased by Mr. N. II. ltagland, who died about one year ago, and is now owned and occupied by his widow, who has been offered i handsome price for the historical spot, but as yet has refused all the tempting propositions made. In the same room where at one time stood Lee, Grant and their staffs, have stood three brides, and the most remarkable part is that all were sisters, one of whom was married in I860, one in 1S70 and one in 1889, ten years having intervened between each marriage. The old house has been remodeled since the war, but tourists visit the place very frequently and se cure shingles and other portions of the old buildingas mementoes of the day and place that has become famous the world over. Wanted?More men like that village carpenter of whom one of his neighbors is reported to have said : "He has done more good, I really believe, in this community, than any other person who ever lived in it. lie can not talk very well in prayer-meeting, and doesn't very often try. He isn't worth two thousand dollars, and it's very little he can put down on subscription papers for any good object. But a family never moves into the village, that he does not find them out, to give them a neighborly welcome, and offer any little service he can render. He is usually on the look-out to give strangers a seat in his pew at church. He is always ready to watch with a sick neighbor, and look after his affairs for him ; and I've sometimes thought he and his wife keep houseplants in winter just for the sake of being able to send little bouquets to invalids. He finds time for a pleasant word for every child he meets, and you'll always see them climbing into his one-horse wagon when he has no other load. He really seems to have a genius for helping folks in all sorts of common ways, and it does me good every day just to meet him on the streets." pmi C ROYAL ISi'ttJ .

It is used in | every State and Territory in the United States, | and in Canada, Russia, Mexico, New Zealand, ; Australia, South America and Ireland. It has i been awarded medals of superiority by the great American Institute Fair, The World's lOxposition at New Orleans, and at every State anil local display of agricultural implements where exhibited. DESCRIPTION. Tho above illustration gives a correct idea , of tho general appearance of theCorbin Harrow j ready for use. It hassteel disks that are turned to a knife edge. They are firmly and substantially attached to tho axle by means of a special nut and key which clamps them lirmly in position. It is impossible to looson this nut by any of the accidents or operations of field work, but if desired to take the Harrow to pieces, a few moments' work will readily detach these parts and enable tho operator to take off or get out any of the disks in either gang. It has a wooden T beam?steel axles?wooden I seat standards?wrought hand lever?anti-fric- ; tion balls in bearings. The Corbin Harrow . was I he first to adopt and secure by letters of patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for the journals, to provent tho wearing of the boxes and to lessen tho draft. The entire boxing is nrotected bv sand bands and is furnished with self oiling boxes covered with a dust proof oil I cap. The axle rovolves in a bearing formed of ! eleven chilled iron balls, which makes the ma- [; chine the lightest draft harrow in the world. | Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest i size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 16. I The manufacturers make harrows with 12, ( 16, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has < demonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-disk, . or the 16-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best adapted to genoral farm work. The price of the 13-inch, 12-disk, Harrow is $35.00 The price of the 16-inch, 12-disk, is $40.00. i A Few Words of Praise for the Harrow. The following words of praise for tho Corbin Disk Harrow are published for the information of those of our readers who are not familiar with this most valuable implement. As each witness is known by a largo number of our , readers, cither personally or by reputation, we J feel warranted in saying that their testimony | will bo convincing to tho most skeptical: , Mr. Win. H. Herndon's Endorsement, j Yorkville, S. O., July 10, 1889. j : I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and 1 would not be without one for four times its cost. I think the Disk Harrow is the most : important implement used, and will do moro ' work for its cost than any implement made. 1 wm. H. IIkRNDON. ] Mr. Kob't E. Guthrie's Evidence. , firmuiKsvir,i.e. S. (!., July 5, 1889. 1 Oai*t. L. M. Grist: Dear Sir:?I have a I Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using < for several years, and consider it the most valu- i able farming implement of which I havo any knowledge. I use my Disk Harrow in sowing all of my small grain, and it does the work better than any implement I have ever used. Land that has been cultivated in cotton or corn, I may be sown without any preparation whatever, and an ordinary hand, with two mules, , can sow and cover six to eight acres in a day. j i All that is nocessary is to sow tho seed on tho ( ground, and then run tho Harrow over it one i time; but better results will bo obtaiued if the j Harrow is run ovor the ground two or three j times. As a time and money saver, aside from ] the superior quality of work it does, its value i < can hardly be estimated at the seasons at which < the small grain is sown. Tho Harrow is very > useful in pulverizing rough plowed land of any kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any < farmer to use o'ne. Unlike tho ordinary tooth, or Acme harrow, it not only pulverizes the i 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 tho land. There < should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow on every well regulated farm, and in my opinion t no harrow yet introduced is equal to the Corbin j ( in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of t work.

Hliis'f. dmufitryfi a if IISK HARROW. ment, I would say that 1 consider myself incompetent to do the implement justice, hut will try to give some idea of my estimate of its value. I consider the Corbin l)isk Harrow to he the most valuable farming implement I have ever used, or oyer 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 nave ever 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 be used to advantage 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 iny farm a ld-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 get another, I would not take five times its cost for it. In conclusion, let me say that some of my assertions may sound extravagant 10 nuiut; in my uruuiui luriueia >> uu cue iiui 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 the 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. Walker. Mr. F. II. Dover's Verdict. G rover, X. C., Julv 10, IHH't. Cart. L.M. Grist: Dear Sir:?I nave owned a 10-inch Corbin Disk Harrow for the past four years and liaye put it to every possible test and it has given entire satisfaction. I had long felt the need of a harrow that would pulverize the soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, and realized that this could not be done by any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverizethe surface, leavingmany 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 tho great importance of a harrow that will pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will thoroughly pulverise to a depth of seven inches. T want nothing better 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 faster, cutting six feet at a timo, and all farmers know the importance of saving Lime at tho season when thoso crops are usually sown. I venture tho assertion that no farmer who owns a Corbin Harrow would be without it fortwice its cost. Two great advantages the harrow possess over most improved 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 was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, bv harrowingit twice, crossing the lirst work with Lho last, as well or bettor than I have ever done with a plow. Much more might be said about Lho Corbin Harrow but I think I have said 3nough to induce farmers to inquiro into its merits. All who investigate will be converted. Very Respectfully, Felix II. Dover.
