The horse-back traveler, amused at the old fellow's productive resource of strong adjectives, stopped, threw one leg over the horn of his saddle and without saying anything sat watching the performance. The covered wagon to which the team was attached was the ''mover's" typical vehicle, with two chairs tied behind. A woman, three children, a mule colt and a dog belonged to the outfit. "If I just had enough money to take us fifty miles I'd cut your infernal throats!" the old fellow shouted as he leaned for a moment's rest on a piece of rail with which he had been belaboring the horses. "You can pull out of here easy enough you in- 1 fernal scoundrels. Why, a jack rabbit and ! a sick cat hitched up together could pull out of here." "Anderson," said the woman, "why don't you hold some fodder befo' them ?" "Confound it, didn't you see me do that jest awhile ago?" "Wen, wny uon'i you suck a pm in their flanks?" "Haven't you got any sense at all ? | Didn't you see me stick 'em with a darnin' needle jest now ? You better go off some | where an' run with the sucklin calves." "Thar's one thing I know you ain't tried." "What's that?" "Twistin' their under jaws." "I'll twist your under jaw if you don't hush." The old fellow, turning about, addressed the man on horse-back. "How long have you been here watchin' me?" he asked. "Don't know exactly." "Putty good while?" "Yes." "Servin' your second term, ain't you ?" "Second term at what?" "Bein' governor of this State." "I'm not the governor." "No! Wall, you must be secretary of state." "I am not, however." "But you must be a great man of some sort." "No, I am simply a country merchant." "It's mighty strange, then." "How strange? I don't in the least understand you. Why do you take me to be a great man ?" "Because a fellow that can set an' watch a balked team and not offer any suggestions must be great?in fact, you are the first man of that sort I ever did see. You deserve greatness anyhow, I'll tell you that, and I feel it my duty to do somethin' for you. I've got a fine rifle and a good dog and they are yourn if you'll take them." "No, I thank you." Jtiere's a nve aonar om, an me money I've got, but you may have it." "I won't take it." "Well, I feel like givin' you somethin'. Say, you wouldo't mind me namin' a boy after you, would you ?" "No." "All right, what's your name ?" "Worthinton P. Billin9ham." "Good enough. Becky!" he called. "Yes," a woman answered. "Where's the baby ?" "In the wagon asleep." "Wall, wake him up an 'name him after this man. Good day if you are gone, mister. Don't care if you don't hold no office, you are the greatest man I ever saw." That Spoilt It.?An eccentric clergyman in Cornwall, says London Pick-MeUp, had been much annoyed by a way his congregation had got into of looking round to take stock of later comers. After enduring the annoyance for some time, he said, on entering the reading desk one day: "Brethren, I regret to see that your attention is called away from your religious duties by your very natural desire to see who come9 in behind you. I promise, henceforth, to save you the trouble by naming each person who may enter, and I hope that the service will then be allowed to proceed without interruption." He then began, "Dearly Beloved," but gaused half-way to interpolate, "Farmer tubbins, with his wife and daughter." Farmer Stubbins looked rather surprised, but the minister with perfect gravity resumed his exhortation. Presently he again paused. "Sam Curtis and William Diggle." The abashed congregation Kept their eyes studiously bent on their books. The service proceeded in the most orderly manner, the parson interrupting himself every now and then to name some new comer. At last he said, still with the same perfect gravity: "Mrs. Symonds, of the Red Lion, in a new bonnet." In a moment he felt his mistake, but it was too late. Every feminine head in the congregation had turned round to look at the new bonnet. He Couldn't Strike.?He stood on a step-ladder trimming the dead limbs out of a fruit tree, when a man came along with some tools in his hand, stopped and asked: "How many hours are you putting in for a day's work ?" "I'm busy from daylight to eight or nine o'clock at night," was the reply. "Don't you know that nine hours is a day's work ?" "I've heard so, but he won't let me off at that." "Then strike on him." "I can't very well." "Dasn't you kick?" "It wouldn't do any good." "Some rich old cuss who wants to grind you into powder, eh ?" "Well, he keeps me at work. I believe I put in thirteen hours every day." "Then you are a fool !" "Maybe so." "He ought to be talked to." "Yes." "Why don't you quit?" "I would, you see, but I am the 'old cuss' you are talking about, and though my man can get his day of nine hours, I have to put in three or four more or things will get behind."?[Detroit Free Press. Fitted for Any Climate.?The traveling missionary had had a somewhat varied experience. He had been through a rough country, and his meek spirit had been sorely tried. He had found the spirit of irreverence and disbelief all over the land and the ground was stony. But he left in despair when he struck an old man at a railway station in Texas. They were both waiting for a train. He got into conversation with the grizzled veteran of frontier life. They discussed various things, and finally the missionary asked : "Areyou prepared to die?" "I guess you've always got to be prepared in this country. Yes, I'm prepared to die or get the drop on the other fellows." "I don't mean that. Are you prepared for a hereafter ?" "Why, certainly. A hereafter ! Look here, stranger. I was brought up in Arkansaw, an' I went from there to Missouri, and from there I came to Texas, an' I've lived here ten years. I guess I can stand any hereafter as may be."?[San F rancisco unronicie. "Given Up" by the Doctors.?How one phrase may be made to mean two very different things is illustrated by this conversation : "I hear," said one of two friends who met by accident, that our friend Smith has been ill." "Yes." "How is he now?" "The doctors have given him up." "Impossible! Is he so badly off as that ?'r "Badly off! Why, ho is completely cured, and that is the reason the doctors have given him up. Do you think they would give him up as long as he was sick ?" 1^* "What a fine little fellow," said the patronizing old gentleman who had been elected representative for four successive terms from his congressional district. His remark was addressed to a kind-faced lady, who held in her arms a little fellow who blinked gravely at all that was going on. "Yes," replied the lady. "His father and I set a great deal of store by him." "Well, he's a bright looking little-fellow. Maybe he'll be a congressman some day." "Maybe he will," said the mother. "But," she added earnestly, "I'm goingto do my best to raise him right." Grandma had taught "two-year-old" to answer a great many Bible questions, and was fond of "showing him off." On one of these occasions she asked him, "Who was put in the lion's den?" "Daniel," was the prompt answer. "Did the lions eat Daniel?" "No." "Why?" The answer should have been, "Because God shut their mouths," but the little fellow reflected a minute, and then said, "I dess Daniel wasn't dood to eat." ?hc .farm and ^iitsidr. CHANGES OF THE WEATHER AND IUON. After a drouth there is reason to expect a change of weather upon the so-called full of the moon or one of its phases, because these phases aro only seven and threeeighthsdays apart, and the farther we advance in time the nearer we come to the change or rain, and this time cannot be, at anv time, more than three and eleven-sixteenth days from a so-called change of the moon. But there is, in fact, no change more than about the same as occurs to the earth, and as the earth does not contract to a narrow crescent and then expand to the globosity of a full orb, so does not the moon. The moon is a globe, approximately, now and always. It iscommon knowledge that the moon has no light nor heat of its own. No light save that reflected from the sun, and as a full measure of the sun's light grows and vivifies plant and animal life as well, and a total deprivation of that light sicklies both plant and animal, so will every measure between the full power and the entire deprivation differ. The moon then by reflecting more or less light may reflect more or less variation in plant or animal life. Ihanni Vupfa eu v'tl r*nd OlJ UJUtil 1UI UJW1J . x MViu, W ^ ? grind, are stubborn things. I have kept a record of all operations for years on plants, corn, potatoes, etc.; on operations on animals, swine, male and female, horses and cattle; on fence building, house shingling, etc., and as a result, find no difference in result, no matter what the phase, apparent, of the moon may be, and my results are also fully as good as those who mind the moon. But to return to the weather business. The utter nonsense of the idea that the "moon governs the weather" is shown from the plain fact that under the power of the same moon Texas may have a two-year's drouth, Georgia good seasons, the South good seasons, the West, Illinois, etc., parched by drouths, one neighborhood good and seasonable rains, another settlement, not five miles distant, not a shower; the one rejoicing, the other disheartened. I may add that one reason why some think that the moon's power is potent, is the fact that such remember the coincidences and forget the failures of the theory to connect with the fact. Furthermore, in the time of a year's or one-half year's drouth, the moon will have apparently had its changes at many different times of the day?thus showing that the time of the apparent change has no controlling influence, but pointing to the fact that the great Organizer of the universe has appointet^agencies or powers for the controlment of the weather, more substantial than moonliglR. Certain districts will be found to be more favored by showers, and others more companioned by drouths. The valleys and landsalougstreams, lakes, woodlands, etc., being favored, while belts distant twenty miles are slighted. The continuation of the subject would not always lead to a consideration of the results of the denudation of forests and of the practice of drainage, but it is now dry enough to go to work. What I have written is not new, but some need reminders, as work is often delayed for an imaginary influence.

Red pepper pods or a few pieces of charcoal thrown into the pot in which onions, cabbages, etc., are being boiled will prevent the unpleasant odor. Two tablespoonfuls of washing soda in a gallon of boiling water makes a good disinfectant for the kitchen sink. Pour it in at night, while it is still at boiling heat. Tin pans can be prevented from rusting by heating them and rubbing well with linseed oil and heating again. Wood ashes or whiting (which is better) mixed with kerosene will brighten them. Make a list, in the order in which you pack them, of the contents of your woolen chest, and paste it on the outside. Then the articles at the head of the list will be at the bottom of the box. Rusty black cashmere should be sponged with equal parts of alcohol and ammonia, diluted with a little warm water. When pressing use a piece of alpaca or undressed cambric next the warm iron. If ironed when damp, and pressed till dry, table linen takes a certain stiffness which is more permanent and less subject to creases than the stiffness of starch, which is also injurious to the fabric. Lime and alkali stains may be removed from white goods by simply washing. In the case of colored goods and silks the goods should be moistened and citric acid, much diluted, applied with the finger. How to Help a Cough.?a physician who is connected with an institution which contains many children, says: "There is nothing more irritating to a cough thau to cough. For some time I had been so fully assured of this that I determined, if possible, for one minute to lessen the number of coughs heard in a certain ward of the institution. By the promise of rewards and punishments I succeeded in inducing them to hold their breath when tempted to cough, and in a little while I was myseii surprised 10 see how some of the children entirely recovered from their disease. "Constant coughing is precisely like scratching a wound on the outside of the body; so long as it is done the wound will not heal. Let a person, when tempted to cough, draw a long breath and hold it until it soothes every air-cell, and some benefit will soon be received from the process. The nitrogen, which is thus refined, acts as an anodyue to the irritating mucous membrane, allaying the desire to cough, and giving the throat and lungs a chance to heal. At the same time a suitable medicine will aid nature in her efforts to recuperat.e?[Baltimore News. JVcF1 A writer in a medical journal remarks: "The surest, quickest and most sensible way to cure a cold is to go to bed and stay there." But he adds, with a touch of sarcasm, "Not one American in fifty will apply the remedy. We are too busy. We would rather risk losing our whole life than lose a single day. Therein we are fools." For other things than colds a day in bed is a most excellent specific. For certain forms of nervous impairment, nothing will more readily restore the balance than the forced rest and quiet of a few hours in a recumbent position. The exigencies of life often necessitate overwork. The father of a family may be engaged in a business which, at certain seasons of the year, is very taxing. The mother has to meet extra burdens of sickness or company. The children are pressed with school work, and show, by their irritability, that the nervous force is being overdrawn. Better even than a holiday, as a restorative in such cases, would be the prescription herein recommended. Nature is elastic, and can stand a great many shocks if only the nervous system is given time to recover between them. Abuse of the Kye.?The abuse of the eye is the crime of the age. I am prepared to demonstrate that at least nine-tenths of the prevailing sleeplessness of which we hear so much is due to nervousness directly traceable to the optic nerve. We are wearing our eyes over books, desks and types, and the effect shows itself not only in the appearance of the organ itself, but in its retroactive effect on nerve and brain. I have a remedy for sleeplessness, and for the reason that I have never known it to fail I am fortified in ray opinion that the whole trouble arises from overstrain of the eyes. Take a soft cloth?say a piece of napped towel?and fold in it two small pieces of ice at a proper distance apart to exactly cover when the cloth is laid across them. Then lie down, and adjust the cloth with the ice over the closed eyes, and you will be asleep in a very short while. 46TThe Chicago Druggist recommends the following remedy for severe scalds and burns: Cover the injured parts freely with soft soap. If the burn be severe, apply soon after linseed oil with a plentiful dressing of flour. This cakes, and fresh ' t _ - -i-i^-i un?_ it,:,. oil ana nour can ue auutru. >vue? mis covering falls off a new skin will have formed and no,scar left. The same journal says that carron oil is one of the best remedies where the skin is unbroken, care, of course, being taken to exclude the air from the injured part. Instant relief can be had by the application of a salve made of soot and lard. Soap will cause severe pain at the start. BoF Horses should have at least two hours rest at noon. They should be watered often, and at night should be swabbed and wiped dry. 46?* For a black eye; paint it with a mixture of equal parts of tincture of capsici and gum arabic and some glycerine. i IHisccllaneous pleading. REMINISCENCES OF WESTERN YORK. For the Yorkville Enquirer. At the beginning of the war the people of Western York, in common with the country, found themselves destitute of many of the necessaries of life, and were thrown upon their own resources and brain Eower to meet the exigencies of the case, lut few had the ability, precaution or foresight to prepare for the struggle by laying up salt, sugar, coffee, etc., together with many other indispensable and useful articles, but when once forced to a utilization of their thinking powers, they showed themselves equal to the emergency. The smoke houses were dug up and the dirt subjected to a process of draining, from which, by evaporation, salt was procured sufficiently to meet the immediate demands of the home. Sugar cane, (sorghum,) became quite popular and every farm was supplied with it. uonee was substituted with parched rye, wheat, meal and potatoes. Salt works were established along the coast line where, by a process of evaporation, salt was made from sea water, by men who were detailed to carry on this industry. The salt procured in this way was of a superior kind for table use. It was as fine as meal in most cases. Depositories were established at different places in the country, where supplies of different kinds were furnished to soldiers' families. Heretofore I have spoken of the cloth made by the women during the war, the quantity, quality and its extra finish. The women vied with each other in the tidiness of their attire. Domesticity was their ultimatum. In fact, I have seen clothes made by hand that were woven in old fashioned looms that would astonish New England factory operatives. Botanical authorities were consulted and a practical knowledge of the coloring properties of plants, roots and flowers was generally understood among the people. But few experiments proved to be failures. Everything that promised success was properly utilized, and upon the whole, aside from the bloodshed and carnage, incident to a great civil war, our country was never more prosperous or independent. All the brain power of the country was brought into requisition. Dependence upon foreign markets was a thing of the past. Mechanics were detailed and allowed to stay at home to take care of the country by prosecuting their various trades. The wooden shoe bottom was an invention that added materially to the comfort of the slaves, and many white men, too, wore them. There was scarcely a boy or girl ten years old who couldn't plait and put up a first rate straw hat. Many such are still to be found. The scenes about home during the war? the volunteering of the soldiers and the general bustle and confusion engendered thereby?I have already elaborately described in these sketches, and will not attpmnt to reiterate them here. The erreat pulse of the southern people beat in unison to the necessities of the day, and the same chord bound thousands upon tens of thousands of hearts to the cause the country had voluntarily espoused. Women were not less active or loyal than the men, and the little children hurrahed loudly and constantly for Jeff Davis aud the Southern Confederacy. Only through private letters from, and visitors to the army, was its exact status properly understood at home. Hundreds and perhaps thousands of these descriptions were overdrawn. But the zeal of our people at home was kept up and maintained steadily until the news of Gen. Lee's surrender was received about the 12th of April, 18G5. Despair then took the place Of hope. Joy gave way to sadness and thus gloom threw its sable mantle over the down-trodden but unconquered people of Western York. j. l. s. A Pathetic Scene.?Recorder Price's court was the scene of an affecting incident in the trial of Duliss Chrismasfor assault on his brother William. The brothers had quarreled over William's desertion of his wife. William claimed he wasn't married to the woman, although he had two children by her, because she was divorced and they were both Catholics. He testified that she kept a disorderly house in San Francisco and wasn't a fit custodian for her children. The woman wept and eagerly besought the Judge not to believe his statements, saying: "I have raised my children as they should be brought up." "well," said his honori "I'll test it, madam" and he turned to the little girl, not more than three years old, who was clinging to her mother aud said: "You say your prayers." Then ensued a most touching scene. The little girl climbed from her chair, knelt on the floor with policeman, judge and her father and mother around her, aud folding her tiny hands and lifting her eyes to heaven she made the grandest de lenseoi a moiners wora possioie. oiowly, but distinctly, this child, born with the stain of shame upon her and discarded by her father, lisped in childish accents the Lord's prayer. As she proceeded, utterly oblivious of her surroundings, rough men who had not heard a prayer for years bowed their heads and many wept. Then the childish voice ended with "God bless papa, mamma and Uncle Duliss. Amen." The case was settled, and had William Chrismas sworn to a thousand oaths that his wife was bad he would have been disbelieved. It was several minutes before any one spoke, and then the recorder fined the brothers $15 each and dismissed court. ?[Chicago Herald. Entered upon Her Prison Life.? Mrs. Maybrick, the American woman convicted in Liverpool, England, of poisoning her husband, has entered upon her prison life, by being transferred to the jail at Woking. For the next nine months she will be kept on probation in solitary confinement in some county jail, probably where she is now. No one will be allowed to see her during that time, nor any letters reach her. She will be kept continually employed at such work as she can do in a cell. After her term of probation expires she will be drafted to one of the female convict prisons, though in what part of England no one will know till the moment comes to remove her. If she has been good during the probation she will be allowed one letter and one visitor each year till by further conduct she earns three letters and three visitors each year. These rules are rigidly and inflexibly carried out in England. She may be removed from one prison to another. It Makes a Great Difference.? The nomination of three ex-Confederates at the Norfolk convention has not excited the cry of rage from Maine to California thatone might have expected. Gen. Mahone, the candidate for governor, was a leading spirit in the terrible slaughter that followed the futile explosion of the "crater" at Petersburg during the siege of that place. But for him the result of the explosion might have been an earlier triumph of the Union cause instead of the destruction of a great numberof colored sol uiers. mi uiereis uuit) <i^mu?L nim num Senator Chandler, of New Hampshire, nor from Senator Sherman, of Ohio. Ingalls, too, is silent. Exceptional activity in behalf of the Confederate cause is not, therefore, it appears, a matter for denunciation in cases where the ex-Confederate is now acting with the party of high tariffs. ?[Baltimore Sun. BSyTheCorsicana Democrat says: "Many farmers become discouraged with their lot when they observe how some men in other walks of life accumulate wealth. If this matter was looked at carefully it would be found that the showing is not as good as it appears. The men who make great fortunes are the ones who come into notice; but for every merchant who counts his wealth by hundreds of thousands, there are hundreds of other merchants who have failed entirely. Now and then we hear of a lawyer or physician, whose fees in a few years amount to a reasonable fortune; but for each of these there are a hundred who never know one month where the money is coming from to pay the bills for the next. Tiie Cotton Seed Industry.?One of the most surprising features of the modern business world is the large use of cotton seed, formerly considered worthless. Over 800,000 tons of these seeds are now pressed for their oil, from thirty-six to forty pounds being obtained from each ton. The coinsumption of cotton seed oil is increasing both in this country and Europe, and new uses for the oil are constantly being discovered.

Our object in making this oiler is not to sell sewing machines but to increase the Sub, scription List of Tirn Enquirer. THE MACHINE is a strong, light-running, lock-stitch machine, well made, handsomely finished, and in every respect equal to the best and superior to most of its competitors among ?50 machines offered to the public. The parts having the most wear are made of the FIN EST STEEL, and fitted with the utmost precision. All running parts being made to exact gauge, are interchangeable. IN ITS MODEL, well-tried and approved mechanical principles have been followed and enlarged upon by tho application of the most recent improvements, and the addition of every durable device calculated to lighten the labor of running the machine or to simplify its management.

January !> 2 tf THE CORBIN I fill IK CORRIN DISK HARROW has now JL been in the hands of farmers for more than fifteen years, and is to-day porhaps the most popular farming implement of its kind that has evor been offered to them. 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 been awarded medals of superiority by the great American Instituto Fair, The World's Exposition at Now Orleans, and at every State and local display of agricultural implements whero exhibited. DESCRIPTION. Tho abovo illustration gives a correct idea of tho general appearance of theC'orbin Harrow ready for use. It has steel disks thatare turned to a knife edge. They are firmly and substantially attached to the axle by means of a spocial nut and key which clamps'them firmly in position. It is impossible to loosen this nut by any of tho accidoRts 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 the operator to take off or got out any of the disks in either gang. It has a wooden T beam?steel axles?wooden seat standards?wrought hand lever?anti-friction balls in bearings. The Corbin Harrow was the first to adopt and secure by letters of patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for tho journals, to prevent tho wearing of the boxes and to lessen tho draft. The entire 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 olovon chilled iron balls, which makes tho ma ( June me :igntest urait narrow in tne worm. Two sizes of disks aro used. The smallest size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 1(5. The manufacturers make harrows with 12, ID, 20 and 24 disks oach, but experience has demonstrated the fact that the Ill-inch, 12-disk, or the 115-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best adapted to general farm work. The price of the Ill-inch, 12-disk, Harrow is $35.00 The price of the KJ-inch, 12-disk, is $40.00. A Few Words of Praise for the Harrow. The following words of praise for the 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 large number of our readers, either personally or by reputation, we feel warranted in saying that their testimony will be convincing to the most skeptical: Mr. Wm. II. Hcrndon's Endorsement. Yoricvillk, S. C.,. July 10, 1889. I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and would not be without one for four times its cost. I think the Disk Harrow is the most important implement used, and will do more work for its cost than any implement made. Wm. H. Herndon*. Mr. Rob't E. Guthrie's Evidence. Gutiiriesville, S. C.. July 5, 1889. Cart. L. M. Grist: Dear Sir:?I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using for several years, and consider it the most valuable farming implement of which I have 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, 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. All that is necessary is to sow the seed on tho ground, ana men run ine narrow over it one time; but better results will be obtained if the Harrow is run over the ground two or three times. As a time and money saver, aside from the superior quality of work it does, its value can hardly be estimated at the seasons at which the 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 use one. Unlike the ordinary tootli, or Acme harrow, it not only pulverizes the surface, but will pulverize to the 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 should, in my opinioii, 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. Respectfully, R. E. Guthrik. I)r. W. M. Walker's Testimony. Yonicvf S. (J., July 8,1880. Cai'T. L. M.

THE COR^ TIIK modern Road Cart is constructed on scientific principles, and is one of the most popular vehicles now beforo the public. Tt is used by the Preacher, the Farmer, the Merchant, the Physician, tho Lawyer, the Mechanic, and in fact all classes of men. Road Carts are Worth from $15 to $175. The proprietor of The Enquirer, realizing " - * - iu i,rAU'i nfr Hi ine inci mm. uiu iwiui i. ? 0 ... public favor in this section, and also realizing the fact that the people of York and surrounding counties always appreciate a good thing, has succeeded in making arrangements with tho manufacturers of tho celebrated CORBIN Road Cart to furnish him with their justly popular Road Carts as Premiums to Club-Makers. The Corbin Road Cart is pronounced by all who < have examined it to bo the best constructed, tho i lightest (its weight is 100 pounds), and hand- | wmest cart they have seen. There is no doubt j that it is by far tho best that has over been oilored I in this section at the price, and is not intended, I is tho the manufacturers write us, "to compete with tho cheap Western-made Cart, except in j piality." It would bo an impossibility to sell the Corbin Cart at the same price at which 1 the ordinary Western Cart is sold.

I consider the Corbi n Ilisk Harrow to ! be the most valuable far/ning implement I have ! over used, or ever expect to use. There is no j other implement of which I have any knowledge that will do as many different kinds of j work, or do the work so well. There is no im; plemont which will do equal service that I j have eyer seen, that is so simple in construc! tion or which is less liable to get out of order. ' It is one of the few improved farming impleI ments which can be used to advantage by the I 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 10-inch, 12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price of | which wastMO, and although the implement has I been in use nearly five years, if it was imposj sible to get another, I would not take five times j 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 I say to those who may doubt any of my statc[ ments, that I will take pleasure in demonstrating the truth of each and every assertion to ! the entire satisfaction of all who will cull at my j 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. Walkkr. Mr. F. II. Dover's Verdict. Gkovkr, n. C., July 10, 1S89. Cai*t. L. M. Grist: Dear SirI have owned a 16-incli Corbin Disk Harrow for the past four | years and have put it to every possible test and | it has givon entire satisfaction. I had long felt I 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 bv any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize the surface, leaving many clods or lumps untouched, and theso clods would bo 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 pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will j thorouyhly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. I want nothing better in stalk land in putting in wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it i not only does better work than a plow, but is j so much faster, cutting six feet at a time, and all farmers know the importance of saving time at the season when theso crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no farmer who owns a Corbin Harrow would be without ! it for twice 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, by harrowingit 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 enough to induce farmers to inquire into its merits. All who investigate will be converted. Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dovek. Bill Arp Makes No Exceptions. Tho best labor saving implement ever introduced in the South. Bill Arp, Calhoun, Ga.
