PLEASED WITH THE CHILLS.
Down in certain sections of the Mississippi
river Iwttoms there is such an air of
unconcern that the first thought of a traveler
is: ^Theee people are too lazy to entertain
a hope." It is, however, not wholly a
condition of laziness that produces such an
S&rance of indolence. Laziness may
its part, and, moreover, may play it
, bat it cannot-hope to assume a leading
role. What, then, is the principal
actor? Chills. There are men in those
bottoms who were born with a chill and
who have never shaken it off.
Borne time ago while riding through
the Muscadine neighborhood, I came upon
a man sitting on a log near the roadside.
He was sallow and lean, with sharp knob
cheek bonetf'and with hair that looked
Ufcrfsoifeclcdtton. The day was intensely
hot, but he was sitting in the sun, although
near him a tangled grape vine casta most
inviting shade.
"Good morning," said I, reining up my
horse.
"Hi."
"You live uere, i suppose."
"Jest about."
*'Why don't you sit over there in the
shade ?
"Wilt when the time comes."
"What do you mean by when the time
cornea?"
"When the fever comes on."
"Having chills, are you ?"
"Sorter."
"Haw long have you had them ?"
"Forty-odd year."
"How old are you ?"
"Forty-odd year."
"Been shaking all your life, eh ?"
"Only half my life; fever was on the
otherlialf."
- "Why don't you move away from here?"
"Becaze I've lived here so long that I'm
afeerd I might not haye good health
nowhar else."
"Gracious alive, do you mean to say
that having chills all the time is good
health?"
"Wall, health moot be wuss. Old Nat
Sary$r moved up in the hills some time
ago,. was tuck down patty, soon with
some new sort of disease and didn't live
more'n a week. Don't, b'lieve in swappin
off suthlh' that I'm used to fur suthin' I
don't know notbin' about Old-fashioned,
everyday chills air good enough lor me.
Some folks, when they git a little up in
the world, mout want to put on airs with
dyspepsia and bronkicnns, and glanders
and catarrh, but, as I 'lowed to my
wife the other night, old chills and fever
war high enough fur us yit awhile. A
chill may have its drawbacks, but it has
its enjoyments. too."
..YJIaNt't.see now anything about a chill
catfoeeoioyable." *
"Jest owfn' to how you air raised, as
the feller says. When I have a chill it
does me a power of good to stretch, and
I tell you that a fust rate stretch when a
feller's in the humor ain't to be sneezed at.
I'd leave watermilon most any time to
hnvea good stretch. High-o-hoo!" He
gaped, threw out his legs, threw back his
arms and stretched himself across the log.
"It's sorter like the itch," he went on.
"The itch has its drawbacks, bat what a
power of good it does a man to scratch.
Had a nncle who cotch the itch in the
army and he lay th&r and scratched and
smiled and asratched agin. In order to
keep ufFwith the demand of the occasion
he sprinkled a lot of sand in his bed and
tack off all his clothes, so that every time
* ? * a-- a.i a _ 11
ne rarnea ne'o oe scraicneu an over, xzo
kep' this up till the itch killed him, but he
died a-scratchin' and a-smilin' and I reckon
he was about as happy a dead man as
ever lived. Wal), my lever is corain' on
now and I reckon Pi! gtt up thar under
the shade."
He moved into the shade and stretched
himself again.
^kecf ' your fever last?" I
"Wall, I don't know exactly; three
hours, mebby."
"Then what?"
"Wall, I'll funter around awhile, chop
up a little wood to git a bite to eat with,
swap a boss with some feller, mebby, and
then fix myself for another chill."
"Have yon much of a family?"
"Wife and grown son. He's about the
ablest chiller in the country; w'y, when
he's got a rale good chill on he can take
hold of a tree and shake off green persimmons.
W'y he wins all the money
the niggers have got, shakin' dice. Wall,
have, you" got to go ?"
"Yes."
"Wait till my fever cools down a little,
and, I'll beat you outen that nag you're
ridin'."
"No," I don't care to walk."
"Good-bye, then. When you git tired
livin' up thar among them new-fangled
diseases, comedown here whar everything
is old-fashioned and honest."
HUSTLED FOR IT.
A man with a sort of "down-in-Egypt"
appearance got on a Chicago cable car at
the corner of La Salle and Monroe streets,
and, after gazing for a moment at a fat
representative of the board of trade,
asked:
"Does this car go over a bridge ?"
"No; goes under the river."
"Ah, hah. Now, sir, do you know
what's the matter with me ?"
"No."
"I'll tell you. I haven't got a nickeL to
pay my fare."
"Get off, then."
"I don't want to get off; I want to go
'way out yander. Say, will you let me
have &, nickel ?"
"No."
"Give you my note for it. Is it a
trade?"
"No."
~ "You are a rich man, I reckon."
"I'm not a beggar."
"Bet I've done more work in one yearmore
real, genuine work?than you ever
done in your life. Did you ever split
rails?"
"No."
"I thought not."
"Ever work in the field with a hoe that
would weigh five pounds?"
"I have never worked on a farm."
"What do you do?"
"I am a member of the board of trade."
"What's your line mostly?"
"Wheat."
"When does the fellow come around to
snatch the nickels?"
"When we get to the tunnel."
"And if I don't show up with a nickel
he'll out me off, won't he?"
"He undoubtedly will."
"But will you sit here and see a contemporary?that's
a good word, ain't it?"
"First-rate."
"Weil, win you sic nere ana see a contemporary
put off on account of not having
a nickel?"
"I am going to sit here and if he puts you
off I may Bee it."
"Without the slightest feeling of regret,
too, I reckon."
"Yes."
"Now, sir, if you was down in my country
and needed a nickel as badly as I do
I'd give it to you."
"Perhaps so."
"Then why won't you give me one?"
"Because I believe in the great American
principle of hustling."
"Then you think a man ought to hustle
and get what he wants."
"I do."
"And it doesn't make much difference
how, eh ?"
"Not a great deal."
"Well, er?." With a movement quicker
than a drop in wheat, the "contemporary"
snatched the board of trade man's
watch and disappeared in the crowd. He
wanted a watch and hustled for it.
A Strong Writer.?"Stephen," said
the colonel, speaking to an old negro who
had come to cut the grass in the yard, "I
am told that you intend to give your son
a good education."
"Dat's whut I does, sah. I knows whut
it is ter struggle erlong widout l'arnin',
an' I is 'termined dat my son shan't travel
b'ar-foot ober de same flint-rock road dat I

"A noble resolution, Stephen. There is
something beautiful in the uncultivated
mind that has a reverence for knowledge.
Is your boy learning rapidly ?"
"Ez fast ez er hoss ken trot, sah. W'y,
last week he writ er letter ter his aunt dat
libes mo' den twenty miles frum yere, an'
atter while he gwine ter write ter his udder

"Why doesn't he write to her now ?"
"Oh! he kain't write so fur yit. He
ken write twenty miles fust-rate, but I tole
him not ter try ter write fifty miles till he
got stronger wid his pen. But he gwine

EMERGENCY REMEDIES.
There are many accidents constantly oc- s
curring among the little people, for no matter
how careful older ones are to place dan- t
gerous things out of reach, there's apt to b
be a time of forgetting, and then the dire
consequences. Now it is hot water, again
the hatchet or a sharp knife"; possibly con- ?
centrated ley is swallowed, or buttons or
thimbles find their way into strange places
in baby's economy. b
For scalds from hot water or stove there o
is nothing more apt to be handy than baking
soda; wet it up soft and apply freely. n
If the burn is superficial or of slight ex- n
tent, bindingit up with this is all that will
be necessary. If ley has been drunk it is '
seldom that vomiting does any good; the P
amount is usually small. The best treat- "
ment is sweet oil or even melted lard if i
you haven't the oil, to counteract the caus- h
tic effects of the ley. The after inflamma- o
tion of stomach and bowels which some- j
times follows will need specific treatment jj
quite beyond the power of the laity. v
Usually when any foreign or poisonous
matter has been swallowed the first indica- '
tion is to produce emesis. If you have no n
syrup ipecac in the house, add a little mu9- ?
tard and salt to lukewarm water, and 1
make the child drink considerable. It is ci
one of the promptest, most easily obtained II
emetics known.
When the injury is a cut, the treatment
will depend on locality. If the hemoi- ?
rhage is severe, an artery may need tying, *
but until a doctor can be secured, tie a
handkerchief, or something around the J
limb, above the wound, and place the limb h
in an elevated position. tl
For bee stings, probably the best dress- h
ing is mud, as it is for most bites or stings j
from insects. $
Mud frequently removed is excellent t,
dressing for snake and dog bites after they j,
have been properly bled and cauterized.
Foreign substances, in nose or ears, of J
course, demand removing. But, unless *
you are sure of success, don't attempt it v
yourself, and by pushing the obstacle out w
of reach make a bad matter worse. Call j
on a surgeon at once. b
If the not unusual accident of a "bug in ti
the ear" occurs, waste no time trying to ?
drag the offender out, douse in sweet oil, .
salad dressing, or molasses even, if you J
haven't the others handy, anything to en- *
tangle and quiet the intruder before it
makes the victim wild. It can then be
syringed out with warm water. j
HINTS ABOUT HORSES. ?
Once during a life time is all any man T

the ground; this is not only the most nat- 11
ural position, but it prevents the proper 01
elevator muscles of the shoulder becoming i
rigid and fixed, which by constant use of ei
high mangersand tight reining is frequent- n
ly the case. How often do we see horses h
worked in towns to heavy carts or light h
carriages unable when turned out to grass l
to get their heads to the ground without a
setting the fore feet out wide, sometimes ^
going down on both knees, or setting one
leg forward with the other as far back as ^
possible.
Twelve quarts of good, clean old oats, 1
with twenty pounds of good, clean old d
hay, with a sprinkling of salt, is sufficient a
ration for an ordinary-sized horse for one *c
day. Beans are the most muscle produc- fe
ing food given to horses. a
Horses in the habit of swallowing food j
without thoroughly masticating can be tt
cured by covering the bottom of the feed- w
trough with loose stones about the size of si
an egg. w

good deal to lose if it dies. Before 'ventur- .
ing to use or prescribe a medicine* become 11
thoroughly acquainted with its nature n<
and action; better leave a sick animal ?(
alone to nature than impose blind assist- J
ance. bi
Never buy a horse afflicted with a mu- gi
cous discharge from one or both nostrils; tj
by general observance of this much could ei
be done to prevent spread of glanders, t\
in some districts.
Never trot or run a horse suffering with ff
tympantic colic, which presents a swol- J:
len appearance. Walk the animal slowly, ^
or allow it to roll at pleasure, taking care Y'
to provide a suitable place. zj
Carrots?about one pound each morning,
au hour before breakfast?is good for a l
horse troubled with worms. Valuable 2<
horses have been sacrificed by the iguorant tl
practice ofadministering medicine through it
the nostrils. Ground oil cake in single Q
handfuls at regular intervals for all kinds ii
of stock is a first-class condition powder. j

THE SHIFTLESS^FARMER. w
Are you acquainted with him? Did 1
you ever see him ? Is he your neighbor? c?
The editor of the Navasota (Texas) Tablet
gives such a full and accurate description G
of one, that should you meet him you could ?
hardly fail to recognize him. The editor "
says the shiftless farmer has a life-long j
ambition to gain a reputation for wearing
a dirty shirt. ^
He will alarm the neighborhood by get- f
ting up two hours before day, and then ^
sit around and not go to work until after
sunrise. fC
He will ride around a week looking for
a two dollar hog. j
He will complain of hard times, then al
tear his pants climbing over a fence where
a gate ought to be. 3"
He will pay $3 for a new bridle, and 11
then let the calf chew it to pieces before al
Sunday. w

months. q
He will sprain his back lifting something tt
to show how strong he is.
He will go in his shirt sleeves on a cold J
day to show how much cold he can stand, ai
and then return home at night and occupy ai
two-thirds of the fire-place till bed-time.
He will ridicule the mechanism of a "
corn planter, and then go out and smash ^
his thumb nailing a board on the fence. "
He will go to town on Saturday and ai
come home with fifty cents' worth of coffee, l
a paper of pins and a dollar's worth of h
chewing tobacco. it
He is economical; economy is his forte; O
he will save ten cents' worth of axle grease w
and ruin the spindle of a $70 wagon. w
He won't subscribe for a newspaper, but ci
will borrow from his friend and forget to t?
return it. {
To Tell the Age of Cattle.?A oi
heifer has no rings on her horns jntil she ai
is two years of age, and one is added each JN
year thereafter. You can, therefore, tell 2,
the age of a cow with tolerable accuracy ?
by counting the rings on her horns and P'
adding two to the number. The bull has c?
no rings, as a rule, until he is five years
old. To tell his age after that period, add .
five to the number of rings. The best way a,
to tell the age is by the teeth, which is, of _
course, the only way with polled cattle. ej
What are called the milk teeth gradually ^
disappear in front. At the end of three *1
years, the second pair of permanent teeth
are well grown, at four years the third j:
Eair, and at five the fourth and last pair ^
ave appeared, and at this time the cen- *
tral pair are full size. At seven years the 1
dark line, caused by the wearing of the si
teeth, appears on all of them, and on the o(
central pair a circular mark. At eight h<
years this circular mark appears on all of nc
them, and at nine years the central pair w
begins to shrink, and the third at eleven, tc
After this period the age can only be de- h:
termined by the degree of shrinkage gen- el
erally. At fifteen years the teeth are near- tl
ly all gone.??0. J. Farmer. 01
To Get Rid of Lice.?A correspondent
of an exchange gives the following simple j
method of getting rid of lice on poultry: a!
Much is written about whitewashinghous- P1
es and using kerosine for destruction of
lice and keeping houses free from foul odors. ^
I have kept 500 to 1,000 fowls for several
years, and have never used a spoonful of ni
kerosene or a gill of whitewash in these ai
houses, and I have not seen a hen louse P'
in years and think one cannot be found aJ
on my premises, and I know some who 81
have small lots of fowls and use all preven- P(
tives recommended by fancy poultry i
keepers and they are always troubled with w
them; but they are like the leper who was vi
directed to go wash in the river Jordan? w
they think my plan too simple. All I ever ir
do for deodorizing or for destruction of ver- ti
min is to use plenty of coal or wood ashes, c?
land plaster or air-slaked lime sown on ct
and under the roots, and thrown into ev- c?
ery crack or place of lodgment of the para- a
sites as often as once a month at all seasons ci
of the year, which not only has the desired vi
effect, but increases value of the manure, ir

A BOY WHO WAS WANTED.
"Well, I've found out one thing," said
Jack, as he came to his mother, hot, tired
and dusty.
"What is that?" she asked.
"That there are a great many boys in
the world."
"Didn't you know that before ?"
"Partly, but I didn't know there were
bo many more than are wanted."
"What makes you think so?"
"Because I've been 'round and 'round
till I'm worn out, trying to find a place to
work. Wherever I go there are more
boys than places. Doesn't that show that
there are too many boys?"
"Not exactly," said his mother, with a
smile. "It depends entirely upon the kind
of boy. A good boy is always wanted
somewhere."
"Well, if I'm a good boy, I wish I knew
where I'm wanted."
"Patience, patience, my boy. In such a
?reat world as this, with so many places
and so many boys, it is no wonder that
3ome of them do not find their places at
once. But be very sure ray dear," as she
laid her caressing hand on his arm, "that
every boy who wants a chance to do fair,
honest work will find it."
"That's the kind of work I want to do,"
3aid Jack, "I don't want anybody's money
for nothing. Let me see?what have I got
to offer? All the schooling and all the
wits I've Deen HDie to gee up to tmrteen
years, good, stout hands and feet and a
civil tongue."
"And a mind and heart set on doing
faithful duty," suggested his mother.
"I hope so," replied Jack. "I remember
father used to say, "Just as soon as you
undertake to work for any one you must
bear in mind that you have sold yourself
to him for a given time. Your time, your
3trength, your energy are his, and your
best efforts to seek his interests in every
way are liis due."
The earnfest tone in which the boy spoke
3eemed to give assurance that he would
pay good heed to the words of his father,
whose counsels could no more reach him.
For two or three days longer Jack had
reason to hold to his opinion that there
were more boys than the world wanted,
at the end of which time he met with a
business man, who, after questioning him
closely, said:
"There are a great many applications
for the place, but the greater number of
the boys come and stay for a short time,
and then leave if they think they can do a
little better. When a boy gets used to our
routes and our customers we want him
to stay. If you will agree to remain for
at least three years we will pay you three
dollars a week as errand boy."
"That is just what I want to do, sir,"
said Jack, eagerly. So he was installed,
and proud enough he was at bringing his
wages home every Saturday night, and
realizing that, small as they were, the
regular help was of great value to his
mother.
It is not to be wondered at that the faithful
carrying out of his father's admonition
after awhile attracted the attention not
Dnly of his employers, but of others with
whom he was brought in contact in the
pursuit of his duties.
One day he was asked into the office of
Mr. Lang, a gentleman to whom he frequently
carried parcels of value.
"Have you ever thought of changing
your situation ?" asked Mr. Lang.
"No, sir," said Jack.
"Perhaps you could do better," said the
ather. "I want to get a boy who is quick
and intelligent arid who can be relied on,
and from what I see of you, I think you
are that sort of a boy. I want you to drive
a delivery wagon, and I will pay you five
dollars a week."
Jack's eyes opened wide.
"It's wonderful good pay, sir, for a boy
like me, I am sure. But I promised to
Irnnn on nri + Vt A/ft* T-T 511 fr\y tKmo iron m on/1
uu w i vit aiiak ivi biuuo juaiO) auu
the second year is only just begun."
"Well, have you signed a regular agreement
with Mr. Hill?"
"No, sir; I told him I'd stay."
"You have a mother to assist, you told
me. Couldn't you tell Mr. Hill that you
feel obliged t > do better when you have a
chance?"
"I don't believe I could," said Jack,
looking with his straight, frank gaze into
the gentleman's face. "You see, sir, if I
oroke my word to him, I shouldn't be the
kind of boy to be relied on that you
wanted."
"I guess you are about right," said Mr.
Lang, with a laugh. "Come and see me
when your time is out; I dare say I shall
want you then."
Jack went home very much stirred up
by what had been said to him. After all,
could it be wrong to go where he could
io so much better? Almost double the
wages! Was it not really his duty to his
mother to obtain it, and to drive a wagon,
instead of trudging wearily along the
streets ? They never had felt so hot and
lusty as they did just now, when he might
escape from the tiresome routine.
Might, but how? By the sacrifice of
bis pleged word. By selling his truth and
bis honor. So strongly did the reflection
force itself upon him, that when he told
bis mother of the offer he had received he
merely added:
"It would be a grand good thing if I
could take it, wouldn't it mother ?"
"Yes, it would."
"Someboys would change without thinking
of letting a promise stand in their
way."
"Yes, but that is the kind of a boy who,
sooner or later, is not wanted. It is because
you have not been that sort of a boy that
you are wanted now."
Jack worked away, doing such good
work, as he became more and more accustomed
to his situation, that his mother
sometimes wondered that Mr. Hil[, who
seemed kindly interested in him, never
ippeareu 10 mina 01 raising nis pay.
rhis, however, wa9 not Mr. Hill's way of
Joing things, even though he showed an
increasing disposition to trust Jack with
important business.
So the boy trudged through his three
pears, at the end, of them having been
;rusted far more than is usually the case
tvith errand boys. He had never forgotten
;he offer made him by Mr. Lang, and one
lay meeting that gentleman on the street,
ventured to remind him of it, telling him
;hat his present engagement was nearly
)ut, adding:
"You spoke to me about driving the
kvagon, sir."
"Ah, so I did; but you are older now
md worth more. Call around and see me."
On a Saturday evoning soon after, Jack
ingered in Mr. Hill's office after the other
jrran'd boys had been paid and had gone
iway. "My three years are up to-night,
lir," he said.
"Yes, they are," said Mr. Hill, looking
is if he had remembered it.
"Will you give me a recommendation
;o some one else, sir ?"
"Well, I will, if you are sure you want
:o leave me."
"I didn't knowiyou wanted me to stay.
But," he hesitated and then went on, "my
nother is a widow, and I feel as though I
>ught to do the best I can for her, and Mr.
L,ang told me to call on him."
"Has Mr. Laug ever made you an
iffer?"
Jack told him of what Mr. Lang had
iaid to him nearly two years ago.
"Why didn't you go then ?" asked Mr.
wni
' Because I had promised to stay with
fou ; but you wouldn't blame me for tryng
to better myself now ?"
"Not a bit of it. Are you tired of runling
errands?"
"I'd rather ride than walk," said Jack,
vith a smile.
"I think it is about time you were doing
jetter than either. Perhaps you think
fou have been doing this faithful work
or me through these years for next to
lothing, but if so, you are much mistaken,
t'ou have been doing better work than
nerely running errands. You have been
lAM.a! M M am n rtrvMAn^inAnll I r\ I A imtnl
erviug nu iijjpi uuLiLcauiiu irusi auu
lonesty. I know you now to be a straightorward,
reliable boy, and it takes time to
earn that. It is your capital and you
>ught to begin to realize on it. You may
alk to Mr. Lang if you wish, but I will
five you a place in the office, with a salary
>f $G00 the first year, with a prospect of a
ise after that."
Jack did not go to Mr. Lang, but straight
o his mother, with a shout and a bound.
"You're right, you're right, mother!"
le cried. "No more hard work for you,
nother. I'm wanted, you see ! Wanted
snough to get good pay, and all the hardest
)art over."
A man once saved a poor boy from
Irowning. After his restoration he said to
lim : "What can I do for you, ray boy?"
"Speak a kind word to me sometimes,"
eplied the boy, the tears gushing from his
>yes. "I ain't got a mother like some of
hem."
A kind word ! Think of it. This man
iad it in his power to give that boy money,
slothes, playthings, but the little fellow 1
craved nothing so much as a kind word
now and then. If the man had ever so
little heart, the boy must certainly have
had the wish granted. A kind word! You
have many such spoken to you daily, and
you don't think much of their value; but
that poor boy in the village, at whom every
body laughs, would think that he had
found a treasure if some one spoke a kind
word to him.

THE CORBIN D
TIIE CORBIN DISK HARROW has now
been in tho hands of farmers for more than
iifteon years, and is to-day perhaps the most
popular farming implement of its kind that
lias ever been olfered 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 Institute Fair, The World's
Exposition at New Orleans, and at every State
and local display of agricultural implements
where exhibited.
DESCRIPTION.
The above illustration gives a correct idea
of the general appearance of the Corbin 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 special
nut and key which clamps them firmly in position.
It is impossible to loosen 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 theso
parts and enable the operator to take otf or get
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 the
journals, to prevent the wearing of the boxes
and to lessen the 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
eleven chilled iron balls, which makes the machine
the lightest draft barrow in the world.
Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest
size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 16.
The manufacturers make harrows with 12, i
16, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has
demonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-disk, ;
or the 16-incb, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best
adapted to general farm work.
The price of the 13-lnch, 12-disk, Harrow
is 935.00 The price of the 16-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, wo !
feel warranted in saying that their testimony
will be convincing to the most skeptical: ,
Mr. Wm. H. Herndon's Endorsement.
Yorkville, S. C., July 10, 1889.
I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and j
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 i ;
work for its cost than any implement made, i 1
Wm. H. Herndon. j j
Mr. Rob't E. Guthrie's Evidence.
Gutiiriesville, 8. C., July 5, 1889. ;
Capt. L. M. Grist: Dear Sir:?I have a I
Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using ! i
for several years, and consider it the most valu- i
able 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, j
can sow and cover six to eight acres in a day. |
All that is necessary is to sow the seed on the j
ground, and then run the Harrow 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 i
farmnr in nao nnn TTnlikn th? orHtmirv tooth. '
or Acmo harrow, it not only pulverizes the j <
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 j
wet to plow, without injury to the land. There s
should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow on
overy well regulated farm, and in mv opinion |
no harrow yet introduced is equal to the Corbin j
in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of i
work. Respectfully, R. E. Guthrie.

THE modern Road Cart is constructed on I C
scientific principles, and is one of the most |
popular vehicles now before the public. It is p
used by the Preacher, the Farmer, the Mer- v
chant, the Physician, the Lawyer, the Mechanic,
and in fact all classes of men.
Road Carts are Worth from $15 to $175. 5
The proprietor of The Enquirer, realizing u
the fact that the Road Cart is fast growing in f<

tho fact that the people of York and surround- b

has succeeded in making arrangements with the S

The Corbin Road Cart is pronounced by all who d

somest cart they have seen. There is no doubt n
that it is by far tho best that has ever been offered tl
in this section at the price, and is not intended, q
as the the manufacturers write us, "to compote p
with the cheap Western-made Cart, except in t<

ment, I would say that I consider myself in- ^
competent to do the implement justice, but
will try to give some idea of my estimate of its
value. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow to
be the most valuable farming implement I have l,
ever used, or eyer expect to use. There is no jj(
other implement of which I have any knowl- jJ(
edge that will do as many different kinds of l,
work, or do the work so well. There is no im- l,
[dement which will do equal service that I l
rnve eyer seen, that is so simple in construe- l,
tion or which is less liable to get out of order. l.
It is one of the few improved farming imple- i,,
ments which can be used to advantage by the l,
ordinary negro. The Corbin Harrow will more jJ{
than pay for itself in one season if given half l,
a chance. I now have on my farm a 16-inch, Li
12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price of jj(
which was $4Q, and although the implement has jj(
been in use nearly five years, if it was impos- a
sible 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 ,,
to some of my brother farmers who are not
familiar with the Corbin Harrow, but I will
say to those who may doubt any of my statements,
that I will take pleasure in demonstrat- _
ing 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 q
early day, of a Corbin Harrow being on the
farms of hundreds of farmers in this section.

Mr. P. H. Dover's Verdict.
Grovkr, N. C., July 10, 1889. ?
Capt. L. M. Grist: Dear SirI have owned
a lG-incb Cor bin Disk Harrow for the past four
years and have put it to every possible test ami
it has given entire satisfaction. I had long felt
the need of a harrow that would pulverize the
Boil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, L<
and realized that this could not be done by L<
any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverizethe
surface, leaving many clods or lumps L<
untouched, find these clods would be worked Li
to the surface in cultivating the crop; and all L<
intelligent farmers know that cloddy land L<
does not give the best results. Hence the great L<
importance of a harrow that will pulverize the D'
soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will
thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. A:
I want nothing better in stalk land in putting in
wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it l,
not only does better work than a plow, but is l<
bo nineh faster, enttinc six feet at a time, and T.,
all farmers know the importance of saving l<
time at the season when these crops are usually l,
sown. I venture the assertion that no farmer
who owns a Corbin Harrow would be without l,
it for twice its cost. Two great advantages the
harrow possess over most improved farming
implements is its simplicity and durability. l<
Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if l<
be has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have a
prepared stubble land for planting, where there
was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, by
harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with ?
the last, as well or better than I have ever done
with a plow. Much more might be said about
the Corbin Harrow but I think I have said
enough to induce farmers to inquire into its .
merits. All who investigate will be converted. v
Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dover. A'
Bill Arp Makes No Exceptions.
The best labor saving implement ever introduced
in the South. Rill Arp,
Calhoun, Oa.
By an especial arrangement with the manufacturers
of the Corbin Disk Harrow, we are
enabled to offer the farmers of York and surrounding
counties this most valuable implement
at unusually low prices?lower than they i
have ever before been offered. We make the ?
following proposition : To any one who will secure
FIFTEEN NEW SUBSCRIBERS at $1.75 H
each and pay us $24.50 in addition, we will fur- J
a 13-inch, 12-disk Harrow, or for FIFTEEN hi
NEW SUBSCRIBERS, and $26.50 in cash, we R
will furnish a 16-inch, 12-disk Harrow. P'
To persons who do not desire to make a club **
we make this proposition : We will send The
Enquirer for one year and furnish a 13-inch,
12-disk Harrow for $30; or a 16-inch 12 disk for qi
$2, which amounts include one year's sub- gt
icription. an
In every case the money must be paid when an
:be name of the subscriber is returned, (under 8jj
;he first offer) and the cash must be paid before h,
the Harrow is ordered under either proposition,
The Harrows will be delivered, free of any en
farther cost, to persons who have complied with
aur terms, at any railroad depot, within one
hundred miles of Yorkville.
This offer will remain of force until the 15th 1
NOVEMBER, 1889, at 12 o'clock.
