Humorous fqiavtmcut. DAN AND THE SINNERS. Old Liza, as hard working a woman as ever lived, married "Guinea Nigger" Dan, the evangelist. Liza was not handsome. Her nose, at a distance, resembled a flatiron, and her mouth was not encircled by lines of Grecian grace. She married Dan, she said, on account of the big church standing such an alliance would give her. Dan, however, was not drawn to the altar by a motive so ennobling, but suffered himself to be married in view of the fact that the woman owned a cabin and a few acres of scrub oak land. "Now honey," said the bridegroom, "Jis as soon as I gets through 'vangelizin' down at de bayou I'll help you wid yer 'ronn' de house. It stan's us mightily in hand ter git dis lan' cleared up, an' I wishes ter goodnes dar wa'n't so many sinners in this here curmunity. Tole de bredren tuther day dat I wushed da would send erway an' git another preacher an' let me rest erwhile, but day tole me dat I ought ter be willin' ter do de Lawd's wnek. sol couldn't hab no mo'ter say in 'siderin' o' dat fack." 'Dan, de Lawd knows dat I doan rain' clearin' up de groun', but I would lack ter go to preachin' some time wid yer." "Yas, honey, yes; jis' ez soon ez we sorter git things in shape. I wouldn' lack fur yer ter come down dar now an' see how yer po' husban' haster scramble ter keep ole Satan frum stickin' his fork in dem sinners. Jis' wait erwhile, honey, an' eberything'Il be sweeter'n er pie. Will, sho's yer born'd ter 'herit de kingdom o' de heaben an' w'ar de crown an' b'arde cross." Liza went about her'work, sighing deeply when she thought of the pleasure she was dbmpellgd to forego. Dan, after putting on his best clothespurchased with money acquired by the sale of Liza's cow?hurried to the place where the sinners stood in such great danger. Thus, day after day the woman worked until the land wasnearly all cleared. She could not attend church on Sundays, for then she had to stay at home and prepare an extra dinner. "Howare the sinners getting along.'" she one day asked, sitting down with a sigh of weariness. "Sorter po'ly, honey; sorter po'ly." "I wuz in hopes dat I could soon go 'roun' 'vangelizin' wid yer." "So wuz merse'f, an' de diserp'intment o' hit hez cheated yer po' husbun' outen er mighty heap o' sleep. I doan think it will be laung now, fur in las' day ur two I's been puttin' in some monstrous fine licks. Da kain't stand it much launger, for I sees many 'pearances o' de glo'us Hack dat ole Satan has gunter weaken an' lose his awful holt." "Dan, de groun's nearly all cleared up, so couldn't yer let me go ober ter ae bayou wid yer ter-day ?" "Honey, lemme tell yer, I would be de happies' pusson in de worl ter do dat fack, but de truf is, ef yerse'f wuz ter go 'laung I would hafter pay so much ertention ter yerself dat I'd 'gleet de sinners, an' ded old Satan would spit on his ban's, take er fresh holt an' ruin dem po' pussons whut de Lawd has told me to look arter. Let us b'ar up un'er dis 'flickshun, honey fur de clouds gwine ter roll erway arter while an' de sun gwine ter shine out." "De sun dun been er s'ninin' mighty hot, too, out dar in dat new groun'." "Honey,* yer musn't fling 'proach at er figger o' de speech what de Lawd hab erp'inted." "De Lawd 'peers to be doin' er heep fur dem sinners," she replied, "but He don 'peer ter be doin' much fur me." "Gracious er libe, Liza, yer mus'n blassfe dat er way. De Lawd know whut it am bes' ter do." "Dat mout be, Dan, but I's tired o' workin' heah by myse'f. I wants ter go ootan' 'joy myse'f er little." "Dar yer goes wid yer fanity. Doan yer know dat we's both workin' tergeder an' dat ebery time de Lawd puts down one mark fur me He puts one down fur yerse'f?" "Ain't seed none." "Dar yer goes er gin. I tell yer dat de Lawd gwine ter rub all dem marks out ef yer keeps on er blassfe'in' dis way." "When I maird yer I thought dat I wuz gwine ter git some standin' in de church." "W?ll xrer haa Wv rla pIHan an' flo scribes an' Republicans talks erbout yer at ebery meetin'." "W'y'n't some o' dem folks 'suade yer ter bring me, den ?" "Dar yer goes er gin, I tells yer. I hopes dat do Lawd won't recolleck all dis er gin yer: hopes dat, ezsho'syerborn'd, I does, but I tell yer whut's er fack, yer's in a f'ar way ter ruin all dis fine work ef yer keeps on. Wall, honey,demsinnersiser waitin' fur me, an' it's time I wuz gwine. We'll 'range dis matter putty soon now." Shortly after Dan had left the house, Liza set out for the bayou, some four miles distant. A drizzling rain was falling, but she paid no attention to it. As she neared the church she heard loud talking and laughter. Turning aside, she approached a blacksmith shop and peeped through a crack. There was Dan engaged in playing marbles with several of the sinners. "Shoot and vencher round'nce," said Dan. "Knock dat middle man many mo' times an' I'll hafter go home an' strike de ole gal fur some mo' money. Dese niggers winnin' all dat po'lady's sheep. Er haw, haw !" ) "Bet Dan ain't erfeerd o' his wife," some one remarked. "Dat I ain't. Neber seed de 'oman I's erfeerd ter order 'roun'. Got dat lady's p'ints down finer dan silk. Venture round'nce." Liza took up an ox-yoke and stepped into the shop. Just as Dan turned toward herjShe hauled off and let him have it." "Hole on heah! Hole on! Liza?" Bip ! "Oh, Lawd, take dis lady erway!" Bip ! When Dan regained consciousness he sat up and looked about him. Liza, grim Nemesis, sat on the anvil block. "De Lawd," said Dan, "dun wiped out all dem?" She seized the yoke, and Dan, placing one hand on his head and imploringly waving the other one said: "Fa'r creeter, I's your slabe." "Den come on heah- I's got er grubbing hoe at home an' ebery time yer drap it 'cep' when I tells yer I's gwine ter drap you. Come on heah!" "Fa'r creeter, yer slabe is wid yer."? [Opie P. Read, in Arkansas Traveler. Justice not Blind.?Chief Justice Beasley, of New Jersey, who prides himself on the novel character of his dress and appearance, while on a visit to this city, says the N. Y. Star, the other day, was, during the later hours of the afternoon, standing on the steps of an uptown hotel, when he was accosted by a perfect stranger, whom he at once sized up as a confidence operator. "It has been a long time since we met," said the newcomer in an affable manner. "Yes," said the chief justice, musingly, "quite a long time." "Are you enjoying yourself as usual ?" asked the man, evidently feeling for an oportunity to run in his little game. "Yes, as usual," answered the chief justice, with a sunny emile. "Still in the same old business, eh ?" "Yes, still in the same old business." "What business is it? It's been so long since I've seen you that I declare I've quite forgotten." The chief justice's eyes sparkled merrily as he replied, with an assumption of innocence which would have done credit to a first class actor: "Sending rogues to jail." The confidence man stared at him and then suddenly shot down the street, while the chief justice looked after him with all the innocence and benevolence of a Jersey farmer totally ignorant of city wiles and delusions. Knew a Cheaper Way.?Opposite Memphis, on the Arkansaw shore, and about ten miles inland, I asked the owner of a cabin for a drink of water, and went to the well with him to get it. He didn't have to eo down over fifteen feet, and there waswater to thedepth of five feet in the hole. It was neither stoned up, nor was there a curb around it, and as there were several children around, and the well near the door, I said : "I should think you would have a curb around this well." "What fur?" he asked. "Don't the children run a risk of falling in ?" "I reckon." "And wouldn't a curb lessen the chance ?" "It mout, but 'twould take a heap of lumber and time. I've got a cheaper way. Look at that." He pointed to a pole stuck on end in the well,Jtod while I was trying to make out what it was for he said: "That's fur 'em to climb out on when they tumble in, and it beats a curb all $hc Jfarm aud fireside. THE FARMER'S WIFE. A most touching aDd beautiful tribute has been paid farmers' wives by Larry Gantt, of Athens, in a speech before the Bethlehem Alliance. Mr. Gantt's speech was famous for many good things, but there was nothing in it truer than, or more just, than that said of our noble country women. The following is the tribute to the farmer's wife: But I will not waste all of my sympathy on the farmer. There is one class even i more deserving of pity and relief than you, my alliance friends. I refer to the farmer's wife. There is not a burden that you bear but the little woman, who is the light of your home, shares it with you. Your trials and cares pierce her tender and sympathetic heart as a dagger. She bears equally with you your every load: but, I say with pain and regret, that she is, alas! too often deprived of a share of your pleasures. Did ye horny-handed lords of creation ever consider that while you are working in the field, your wife was at the house toiling just as hard as yourself; and that niKiio vdii hoH hut mm task before vou. VTIJtAW JVU uwv* /%?? vmw ? ? j, , she has a host of duties to perform, each pressing upon her at once and the same time ? When you return to your noonday meal, and find a welcoming smile and everything ready to your hand?as if the confusion of the morning had been touched by a fairy's wand and order produced from chaos?do you ever consider the vast amount of work that these pleasant surroundings have cost the poor wife ? At night, when taking your ease, does it occur to you to look around and see if your wife is having her season of rest? You will find the old couplet verified in her case, which says: "Mail works from sun to sun, But woman's work is never done." We men are all too selfish aud self-conceited?and I am no exception to the rule. We imagine that because we are the bread-winners of the family, the woman's work is mere child's play. Never was there a graver error. There is not a farmer beneath the sound of my voice but who, if he were made to exchange places with his wife, would be | begging her to rue back in less than twenty-four hours. At night, when you are locked in the arm of Morpheus, and your weary frame's drinking in the rest that nature demands, the wife at your side is trying to quiet a fretful child lest it disturb ''poor tired papa." The dear, unselfish creature! She never thinks of her own weary frame and aching brow. By the dawn of day that poor wife is on her feet, preparing the best repast the larder will afford. You return to your work in the field, while the wife resumes the old tread-mill existence, that is rarely broken by a ray of pleasure. You men can go to town, and there meet and mingle with friends and discuss the news of the day. How many times during the year does the poor wife cross i the threshold of her home, except to at- ; 4 J J:?i ?AnH ' irua uiviuo vyuiomp uu uuuuaj * ^jluv* even then you expect her to look after or : prepare a dinner lor your friends. I do not believo there is a man living; who appreciates his wife as he should. He loves and cherishes her; but he should do even more than this. We should resolve never to take a pleasure but the wife equally enjoys it with us. She bears her full part of our toils and trials, and it is only just and rightthat she should also reap the fruits of our prosperity. It should be the duty of a good alliance 1 man, when he has lifted the mortgage from his home, to look to the comfort and pleasure of his wife. Before you add another i acre of land to your possessions; before you build a new barn ; before you purchase an i implement to expedite your work, or before you improve your stock, look through , your home?go into the kitchen, the wash | room and the dairy, and see if there is not some utensil or invention that you can buy to lessen your poor wife's labor. Lift a part of the burden from her shoulders, that she has so long and uncomplainingly borne, and see that her remaining days are ; made as happy and comfortable as your 1 affairs will warrant.?[Atlanta Constitution. , ? i GROWING AUUATIC PLANTS AT HOME. Lotuses, like water lilies andother aquat- * In rvlnnta on no n *ir ? ? fn?? in f Kof avnol !anf i\j piauuj) oajo a niiiui iu umv vavviavuu floral and horticultural, Popular Garden- 1 ing, can be grown in wash tubs sunk into 1 the ground. It will be necessary, however, to have the tub strong and well hooped, so that it will not be liable to give out, the 1 culture being the same as water lilies. We quote the following hints, concerning tubs ' and ponds, from O. J. Farmer: Many persons are not aware of the ease with which water lilies can be made to grow and bloom in all their beauty and fragrance, in the yard, with the trifling cost of constructinga small pond or sinking in the ground a tub or barrel sawn in half, kept ( filled with water during the summer, cov- ( ering up with straw or boards in the win-, ter to keep from freezing. The pobt^ should be made about two feet deep ; for lilies bloom better in shallow than in deep water. Get some healthy, knotty roots, cover but slightly with rich mud, fill with water, and the job is ended. For tubs, take any strong barrel free from tar, oil or salt; old molasses or whisky barrels are about the best, for the nature of their con- i tents presupposes them strong and well i hooped. If an old wagon tire be driven snugly on the bottom, and the tub well painted, it will last a dozen years or more. Now saw the barrel in two at the bung, fill each half full of fine loam, or if the barrel be a large one, only fill about onethird full, lay in the roots, straighten out the small fibers, and cover to the depth of about two inches, and if it is intended to put fish in, overlay it with coarse gravel to prevent the fish from burrowing down and exposing the fibrous roots, until all are well set. Now sink the tub to a level with the ground, and fill very gently with rain or river water ; well water is not natural to aquatic plants. I venture that ninety per cent, of the failures to grow plants in this way are the results of using well water. Eeplenish the tubs with water from time to time, to supply evaporation ; this is all the care they need. If desirable these tubs may be set on a platform on rollers, instead of sunk in the ground, and can be thus kept indoors during the winter. Kept filled with water, they will come out early in the spring.?[G. It. Uses for Old Paper.?Most housekeepers know how invaluable newspapers are for packing away the winter clothing, the printing ink acting as a defiance to the stoutest moth, some housewives think, as successfully aschamphor or tar paper. For this reason newspapers are invaluable under the carpet, laid over the regular carpet paper. The most valuable quality of newspapers in the kitchen, however, is their ability to keep out the air. It is well known that ice, completely enveloped in newspapers so that all air is shut out, will keep a longer time than under other conditions; and that a pitcher of ice water laid in a newspaper, with the ends of paper twisted together to exclude the air, will remain all night iu any summer room with scarcely any perceptible melting of the ice. These facts should be utilized oftener than they are in the care of the sick at night. In freezing ice cream, when the ice is scarce, pack the freezer only three-quarters full of ice and salt and finish with newspapers, and the difference in the time of freezing and quality of the cream is not perceptible from the result where the freezer is packed full of ice. After removing the dasher, it is better to cork up the cream and cover it tightly with a packing of newspaper than to use more ice. The newspapers retain cold already in the ice better than a packing of cracked ice and salt, which must have crevices to admit the air. Ducks Without Ponds.?Many peo-' pie imagine that it is an absolute necessity to have a pond in order to successfully raise ducks. Such is not the case. I have raised a great many ducks, merely giving them water in an old trough, and though I do not doubt they can be raised more satisfactorily if a good pond or marsh is provided for them, still it is not by an means absolutely necessary. And I think the Iiouen duck the best duck of all, superior to the Aylesbury or Pekin, and more satisfactory and profitable in every way?he is a more marketable bird also. Ducks' eggs are not relished by all; they do possess a stronger flavor than hen's eggs, still they are palatable, and ducklings always bring good prices, with or without green peas. A cow may put all her feed into milk and "show her ribsthat's a good sign.

Longstreet has exploded a story ( which has been circulated for years as an , explanation of hisconnection with the Re- , Kublican party. The common report has j een that Longstreet made up his mind on ( this subject at a conference with several other well known Confederate generals soon after the close of the war ; that they j all agreed to endorse the policy of recon- ( struction ; that Longstreet wrote a letter ] following out that idea, and that in conse- i quence of the abuse which this action < ? r. i r A tit -tt. urougniupuu juuugsirvei ine umtjr v^unieu- < erategenerals who had agreed to go into | the movement with him "backed out." \ Gen. Longstreet was in St. Louis last Mon- i day, and a reporter of the Globe-Demo- i crat called his attention to the story which has been frequently told in explanation of his alliance with the Republican party. < Gen. Longstreet said : ] "That is not a true statement of the facts. 1 There never was such a meeting held in 1 my office. It was just after the military { bill had passed, and friends of the South t felt that they were in a dark hour. Tho 1 New Orleans Times came out in a strong i editorial calling upon Hood, Wheeler, t Stewart, myself and others as southern i leaders to join the paper in a plea for a reconstruction of the Union. We were asked to declare, in so many words, that we accepted the results, and were ready to 1 aid in the speedy restoration of the Union. 1 "Gen. Hood met me, and we talked * about the editorial. He said, in effect, J that it aimed at acondition that we all de- } voutly hoped for ; but he added: 'If you j declare yourself on those lines, the south ern press and the southern people will vil- < lify and abuse you. It may be very patriotic and all that, but it will be very foolish.' I replied, I don't exactly remember t what were the words, but it was to the ef- ? feet that, if it was patriotic, I was willing t to be called a fool. That afternoon I wrote my letter on reconstruction to the Times, t It was the first published in its columns, c and first read by Gen. Hood when it ap- t peared in print. However much Gen. ' Hood may have shared my sentiments, he t never trusted himself to a public expression of them. Gen. Wheeler I did not consult in the matter. He, therefore, did J not interline or make marginal notes in J my letter. There never was an arrange- ^ meut under which my letter was to be fol- ; lowed. The soldiers 'named were all pen- * tlemen, and had they made any such an 1 agreement they w.ould have carried it out. Jj If I did tread the wine press alone, I did j. so on my own motion." The statement of Gen. Longstreet will ! be accepted as final. It destroys a legend which has been repeated for years, and which many have believed. The strangest thing about the whole matter is that Gen. Longstreet did not long ago deny a story which did some of his most distinguished of his associates in the Confederate army grave injustice. It is well that the truth has come out at last.?[Macon (Ga.) Telegraph. The Coming Congressional Elections.?Nominating conventions are being held.or prepared for just now all over the country, and some members of congress are being renominated and some are being selected to stay at home. The feeling in the house is that there is going to be a change this fall?that the next house will be Democratic. The only trouble the Democrats arehavingin their'congressional districts is in sections were the Farmers' Alliance is going into politics, but where alliance men are elected they will it is w thought, generally be good Democrats, c The Republicans are having the same 81 trouble, only more ol it, the alliance movement being generally inimical to llepubli- . can policy.

The out- ^ look now is that Georgia will have an alii- i ance and anti-alliance campaign like that i in Alabama. i Hardeman has not only the anti-Northen 1 and alliance forces at his back, but he pro- 1 poses to go into his opponent's stronghold. t For years he has posed as a friend of the z farmers, and several times has been pres- c ident of the State Agricultural society, r He, too, is an alliance man, though of recent growth. He has always stood as one ofjhe strong Democratic leaders. His chances are considered excellent. flSTTired New Yorkers rizzle everyday. To rizzle is a very different thing from to razzle. A well-known New York doctor thus describes his method of rizzling : I retire to my study, and having darkened the room, I light a cigar, sit down and perform the operation. How to describe it I don't know, but it is a condition as nearly like sleep as sleep is like death. It consists in doing absolutely nothing. I close my eyes, and try to stop all action of the brain. I think of nothing. It only takes a little practice to be able to absolutely stifle the brain. In that delightful condition I remain at least ten minutes, sometimes twenty. That is the condition most helpful to digestion, and it is that which accounts for the habit animals have of sleeping after eating. I would rather miss a fat fee than that ten minutes' rizzle every day. J?" Dr. Lancaster, an eminent physiciau and surgeon of London, has analyzed a man for the benefit of his class in chemistry.

All of these elements combined in the following: One hundred and twentyone pounds of water, 1(5.5 pounds of gelatine, 1.32 pounds fat, 8.8 pounds fibrin and albumen. 7.7 nounds of nhosnhate of lime and other minerals. 4?"-The Louisiana house of delegates has passed a bill compelling railroads operating in that State to provide on all their trains separate, through equal, accommodations for whites and negroes. Such a law has been for some time in force in Mississippi and in other Southern States, and has been declared constitutional by the United States supreme court. Since the adoption of this law in the neighboring State of Mississippi, there has been a growing demand for its adoption in Louisiana. The New Orleans Picayune urges the passage of the bill by the senate and its approval by the governor as a move in the direction of much needed railroad reform in Louisiana. -? ? far Elias Carr, president of the North Carolina State Farmers' alliance, has issued a manifesto, which falls heavily upon the railways of the State. The alliance demands the enactment of a railroad commission law with full powers to regulate freight and passenger rates upon a just 1 LI. i iiuu rua.suua.uiu uaais, nuu lu investigate and take reasonable action with respect to damages or injuries to persons or property. They also enter a protest against the policy of convict labor. President Carr announces that these demands were submitted to the 2,200 sub-alliances and were endorsed by the requisite majority of them. He therefore declares them to be official demands of the State alliance. BST It is told of a wealthy family in New ! York that it is in their regular.custom to; apply to new acquaintances a test of breed- j ing which they are accustomed to call the "booby-trap." They seat the stranger in a rocking-chair, and stt about to watch . him or her. If the visitor rocks, the verdict is against him, and he is thenceforth cutoff from the calling list of the family. If he or she sits quietly and does not sway . ^ to and fro, the case is consider as being de- u cidedly in his or her favor. I B^-The Democrats of Missouri have de:ermined to make tariff reform the princiDal issue in the approaching election for State officers and congressmen. Tariff reform picnics will be held all over theState, *nd the services of Congressmen Mills, of Texas, and Breckenridge, of Kentucky, iave been secured for seven speeches each iurlng the month of July. These speeches will be delivered at accessible points, and tvill be heard by thousands of Missouri farmers of both parties, who are earnestly Jesiring tariff reform. t&~ The Baptists are preparing for a jreat university at Chicago and the Methodists for one at Washington, where the Roman Catholics have already one. Thus we shall have in this country something dse new in Kuropo, denominational universities. Let us hope the new institu;ions will not neglect the course in man jal training, for that is now a necessary part of a complete educational establishment. Igy President Cleveland has a strong hold >n the Democracy of the country. The Democratic State conventions recently leld in Maine, Vermont, Illinois and Alasamahave endorsed his tariff policy with jreat unanimity. He possesses the minds ind hearts of the Democratic masses who ook to him as their leader and deliverer n the campaign of 181)2. Whether he is ;he candidate or not, he is the most powerull man to-day in the Democratic party. A remarkable record was that of Jacob Fisher, who died lately in Kutzown, Pa. He was 100 years old, he had /oted for nineteen Democratic candidates or president, and was never ill in his life. Moreover, he had used tobacco and whiscy ever since he was a young man. Does t prove that tobacco and whisky and votng for Democratic presidential candilates are conducive to long life and health V Four hundred and seventy years ago wo men in Hungary went to law about i piece of land valued at $2,000. Bfct lobody was in any particular hurry, ana io the matterdragged along until the other lay, when the court decided it. The de:ision, however, is of little practical inerest to anybody, as the land in question las been covered .by a lake for the last wo hundred years. The Minnesota Alliance.?By a manimous vote of the executive commitees last Monday it was decided to hold a State convention of the Farmers' alliance or the nomination of a State ticket at St. 5aul on July 16. The alliance is strong in Minnesota, and this makes the result of the oming election a decided uncertainty.

Mareli lit 12 ly THE CORI Is The Best Farming Ii NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO Bight Now Is tli TIIKRE is no doubt of the fact that no fanning implement has ever been ottered to the farming world that has given such universal ' satisfaction as the CORBIN DISK HARROW. It is used in every State and Territory and is heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by every j farmer who has ever used it, and they are numj bered bv thousands. Practical fanners everv! where agree that it is. WITHOUT EXCEi1j TION, the most profitable implement for cultiI vating the soil and putting in grain yet in| vented. It increases the crops, saves time, and ; na? o.-3 ituiui . I The Harrow is made of first-class material j throughout, and with proper care will do good work for fifteen or twentv years, and will pay for itself a dozen times ovor. The wheels or disks are made of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend or crumble. The disks are not affected to any appreciable extent r by rocks and the Harrow will do good work on all kinds of land. I The following are some of the points of superiority possessed by the G'orbin Harrow : ) J. It is theonly Disk Harrow that is perfectly llexible (i. c. one that will adapt itself to tin1 even surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are independent of each other?either can fit or follow an inequality without disturbing the > other. 3. It is the only Harrow having chilled i boxes and anti-friction balls. 4. It is the only Harrrow that has a successful Seeder Attachment. 5. It is tho only combined Harrow and Seeder that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a drill. t>. Tho Corbin is unequaled for lightness of draft and power as a pulverizer. The Harrow With Seeder Attachment. Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, is arranged so that a Seeder can be attached to it. The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its metal parts are of malleable or refined wrought iron. Its weight is (of the size to fit the No. 7 12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds. The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure. It locks itself firmly to the Harrow frame by simply putting it into position. Neither bar, bolt, wedgo, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool is required to attach or detach it. Half a minute of time will remove and one minute replace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it better, and place it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in one. It prepares the fieln in the best possible manner for seeding and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST-PROOF OATS capitally. WORDS OF PRAISE.

Johnson, Calhoun, Ga. > The Disk Harrow is absolutely indispensable to a farmer who has ouco used it. Its value as a farming implement cannot be estimated. ?[Geo. L. Riddle, Zeno, York county, S. C. The Corbin Harrow has given perfect satisfaction and I can recommend it as being the best machine for pulverizing the soil that there is made.?[Simon Brown, Jr., Parsontield, N. II. The Corbin Disk Harrow tills a long felt want in the farming community. As a pulverizer it is a complete success, and as for putting in small grain itdoes its work admirably.?[W. J. Miller, Newport, York county, S. C. I have used the Disk Harrow for years, and would not be without one for four times its cost. I think the Disk Harrow the most important implement used, and will do moro work for its cost than any implement made. -[Wm. H. Herndon, Yorkville, S. C. The only objection I have to the Corbin Harrow is that I have not owned one for the last twenty-live years. If I had owned ono (luring the time mentioned, I would have saved lots of hard work and made better crops. Now that I have one I am delighted with it.?[E. N. Davidson, Loniinaek, York county, S. C. 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. As a time and money * saver, aside from the superior quality of work it does, its value can hardly be estimated at the season at which the small grain is sown. ?[R, E. Guthrie, Guthricsville, S. C. I consider myself incompent to do the imEilement justice. I consider the Corbin Disk larrow is the most valuable farming implement I have ever used, or ever expect to use. There is no implement of which I have any knowledge that will do so many different kinds of work or do the work as well.?[Dr. Wm. M. Walker, Yorkville, S. C. The Corbin Harrow is a complete success, and every farmer should have one, and the longer the matter of buying is put off, the greater the loss to the farmer, as it can be used to great ad vantage in winter, spring, summer and fall. I consider myself incompetent to do the implement justice from an economical standpoint. ?[Wm. S. Wilkerson, Hickory Grove, S. C. I find a wonderful difference in working land that has been harrowed and that which has not. The more I use my Harrow the better I like it. It is my purpose to sow my small grain with it next fall, and for two reasons; first, I can sow it better, and, therefore get better results; and second, I can do it at about one-fifth the expeuse and in one-fifth the time as compared to theordinary way of sowing grain. No farmer can afford to be without the Corbin Harrow, and the sooner the farmers find this out the better. I would not take five times the cost of my Harrow for it and be without it. I shall be pleased to give my friends any further information they may desire.?[R. H. Glenn, Yorkville, S. C. The above testimonials, from practical farI mors should be sufficient to convince the most skeptical that the Corbin Disk Harrow is a complete success. No farming implement has ever received such universal praise in this section. The St. Lawrence M'fg Co., who are the manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow, recommend the No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12 disks, 16 inches in diameter, and 6-foot cut, and the other size has 10 16-inch disks and 5-foot cut. I keep a few No. 7 12-disk harrows on hand and can fill orders promptly. I also . have SEEDER ATTACHMENTS on hand. .
