THE STORY I TOLD BILL.
He was six years old and his name was
Bill. I took him up on my knee, and I
asked him if he would like to hear the story
of the flood, and he said he would.
"Well, Bill, once there was a man named
Noah, who "
"Noah what ?"
"Simply Noah. He had no last name."
"How did they find him in the directory,
then?"
"There were no directories. Noah lived
a great many years ago, and "
''Didn't live before the centennial, did
he?"
"Yes, thousands of years before."
"Did he wear pants?"
"I don't know. He lived in a country
where "
"Somewhere in Indiana, wasn't it ?"
"In Asia Minor, where everybody was
very wicked, excepting Noah and his
three sons."
"Were they all boys ?"
"Yes, and "
"Could they whistle on their lingers?"
"And Noan knew there was going to bo
a flood."
"In Rancocas Creek ?"
"No; I'll tell you directly if you'll
wait."
"Did it sweep away the mill-dam ?"
"And so Noan and his sons went to work
to build a huge boat, which "
"A steamboat ?"
"No; of course not. Which they allied
an ark."
"What did they call it that for?"
"And while they were building it numbers
of people -came to see them, and "
"Reporters, were they ?"
"And laughed at tnem for supposing
there would be a flood."
"Did you say it wasn't in the Rancocas?"
"But they went on building the boat,
without minding the people, so that "
"Had she a jib-boom ??
"Oh, I don't know. And so one day it
began to rain, very, very hard."
"I know wnat you're going to say. Noah
left his umbrella at home."
"Oh, phsaw! They had no umbrellas in
those days."
"No gum shoes either ?"
"And it rained, and rained, and rained,
and rained, until "
"What rained?"
"So that the water began to cover the
whole surface of the ground."
"Why didn't it run into the sewers?"
"So Noah and his family went into the
ark, and took all kinds of animals with
them, and "
"Not spiders ?"
"Yes, SDiders."
"And eels, too ?"
"Yes, and "
"Bat not potato bugs?"
"I guess so."
"And pelicans ?"
"Oh, yes, everything."
"What did he take iif bed bugs for?"
"Oh, do hush! You ask too many questions
!"
"Did the billy-goat butt Noah's boys?"
"So when they were all in, Noah shut
the door, and the ark floated."
"Was the whale towed behind ? Where
did he keep the tadpoles ?"
"And it rained harder and harder all the
time."
- "Was there a Mrs. Noah ?"
"Of course."
"Well, how did she dry her washing
when it rained ?"
"And so the ark sailed along upon the
water for many days."
"Did they row it?"
"No."
"What did Noah and the boys do ?"
"Nothing, that I know of."
"Maybe they fished off the side of the
boat."
"Very likely they did."
"What did they fish for?"
"To catch fish, of course."
"Did they get any?"
"Oh, I reckon so."
"You think they really caught some ?"
"Oh, certainly. And I think it's not
worth while telling a story to such an inquisitious
boy as you."
"Well, now, how could they catch fish
outside, when you said that they took all
the animals of every kind into the ark
with them ?"
"Why, you see, Bill "
"It's outrageous !" said Bill, jumping off
of my knee, and moving towards the door.
"i oeueve you're a seanuaious story-wjiier,
and that you made up the whole thing.
I'm going to call mother, and tell her
you're setting me a bad example. Father'll
make the fur fly off of you when he
comes home."
Then Bill flitted up stairs, and I went
away. I am beginning now to catch a
glimpse of some of the difficulties in educating
youth.?[Max Adeler.
Bit Me Too.?The old doctor and the
old captain were fast friends, both inveterate
jokers, and both, despite their aggregate
six-score years, rabid sportsmen. The
doctor's frightful stammer did not seem to
impede the flow of a joke, nor did the captain's
equatorial girth lessen his agility.
One afternoon the old men set out on a
rabbit hunt. As they passed through an
orchard something scurried into a burrow.
"A r-r-^wist?rabbit!" shouted the doctor.
"L-l-let's p-pull him outand kneeling
at the hole, ne thrust his arm in up
to the shoulder. "S-s-say!" he remarked,
after a moment's fumbling; "I c-c?wist?
can't q-quite g-get h-him. Y-y?uh?you
t-try it, John; y-y?uh?your arm's longer
than m-m?wist?mine.''
The captain knelt and thrust his arm
down. In an instant he was executing a
war-dance around the tree, waving a
bloody finger.
"Blankety-blank-blank! That's 110 rabbit
: it's a ground hog."
"D-d?wist?did he bite you, J-John?"
queried the doctor.
"Bite f Blankety-blank! Don't you see
he took off the whole end of my finger?"
"Wh-wh?uh?why, that's t-too b-b?
wist?bad," said the doctor, taking his own
hand from behind him and showing a sadly
lacerated thumb. "H-he b-b?icist?bit
me too /"
How tiie Horse Got His Drink.?A
great many men who get their conveyances
from the livery-stables become very
good drivers without ever learning how to
get the harness on or off a horse. A young
man of this sort, from the East, was driving
out one day with the young lady to
whom he was engaged, whose home was
on an Illinois prairie, ond who could on an
emergency harness a horse as well as the
most expert stable boy. In the course of
the drive they came to a watering trough
Wy the roadside, and the young lady with
true humanity, the afternoon being warm,
suggested that the horse have a drink,
whereupon her escort reined up to the
trough accordingly. But the horse, being
checkod up, could not reach the water, and
the lady again suggested that her companion
get out and let the animal's head down,
which he proceeded to do. He made a
careful survey of the harness, considered
the various straps that ran along the animal's
back from his head to his tail, and
after due thought reached a philosophical
and ultimate conclusion, and proceeded to
unbuckle the crupper. The horse got his
drink, but the country girl, who sat in the
phteton and watched the operation, was so
nearly convulsed with ill-concealed merriment
as to be wholly unfit for ordinary
conversation for the next half-hour.
A few years ago the Episcopal diocese
of Kentucky appeared to be torn up
with dissentions about high and low
church views. The bishop unfortunately
allowed his sympathies to be drawn out
by one of these parties as against the other,
and thereafter becoming disheartened and
discouraged, resigned the bishopric.
The present bishop, when called to the
diocese^ was determined to ignore these
dissentions, and if possible to harmonize
his people and to bring them into the
broad liberal views of the church.
For some time neither of these parties
was able to discover whether his sympathies
were with one or the other party, until
an occasion presenting itself in a social
circle, a lady (with the curiosity of her
sex) said: "Bishop, what are your views?
We cannot find out. Are you high church
or low church ?
Instantly the bishop replied, "Madam,
I am high, low, jack and the game."
It is needless to add there are no dissensions
now. The game has been won ; jack
is forgotten. High and low, rich and poor,
are in harmony under his ministry.
The Clove Cure.?She was talking
confidentially to her bosom friend. "Now
that we are married," she said, "John has
stopped drinking entirely. I have not detected
the odor of liquor about him since
our wedding day."
"Was it difficult for him to stop?" inquired
the bosom friend.
"Oh, no; not at all. He just eats cloves.
He says that is a certain cure.?[Life.

FOOD FOR THE HORSE.
The following foods are always recommended
for feeding horses. Oats stand at
the head of the list of articles of the horse's
feed. Shelled oats contain about seven
hundred and forty parts of nutritive matter
to the one thousand. They are easy of
digestion, healthy in the effect on the system,
improving the condition generally,
and enabling the horse to perform his work
without injury to his health or spirit.
The quantity required per day for a horse
of ordinary work, with proper allowance
of hay, is about sixteen pounds. The allowance.
or ration, of the United States
cavalry norse is twelve pounds of oats and
twelve pounds of hay. Cut oats is very
good for a horse not working.
The common Indian corn is very extensively
used in the West as an article of
diet for the horse, but alone is too stimulating.
It may be used in winter, and especially
with horses that are worked hard.
The rpeal, used with chopped feed or oats,
is good. Indeed, it would be the best and
most economical at all times to have the
corn ground. None of its nutriment is
then lost.
Beans may be fed to the horse alone, or
ground up with other food. In the one
thousand parts they contain five hundred
and seventy parts of nutritive matter.
They are a very invigorating article of
diet. They are very stimulating and also
astringent. The use of beans alone would
cause inconvenient costiveness. It would
pay well for our farmers to give more attention
to the culture of beans for feeding
purposes. Two pounds of crushed beans
a day added to the horse's feed during the
winter will greatly increase his strength
and endurance.
Peas possess similar properties to beans.
They are not quite so stimulating. They
should be crushed or ground. They contain,
in one thousand parts, five hundred
and seventy-four parts of nutritive matter;
but like beans, this is by no means the
standard of their invigorating and sustaining
quality. They are much more
valuable as an article of food than this
would indicate. In some parts of this
country buckwheat is ground with other
feed, and is considered very nutritious
and healthy..
The better part of the wheat flour is too
expensive for horse feed; it is only the
shorts and the bran that are given the
horse. Shorts are mild, non-stimulating
and nutritious. Mixed with cut or chopped
hay shorts are valuable feed. Scalded
shorts are often recommended as the flrst
feed after recovery from sickness, and
also during sickness. They have a laxative
effect on the bowels.
Bran is not so nutritious as shorts, but
mixed with hay is very much relished,
and makes good feed. Barley contains
nine hundred and twenty parts of nutritive
matter in the one thousand pounds.
It is the common food for the horse in
some parts of the continent of Europe. It
is very stimulating and laxative. It
should be bruised and given with cut hay.
Boiled barley is a good laxative.
Potatoes contain two hundred and thirty
parts of nutritive matter to the one thousand
pounds. They are given raw and
sliced in cut feed, but they are best boiled
or steamed. It is best to give them in
mixed feed.
Carrots are regarded as promoting the
strength and endurance of the horse in a
high degree. They are much esteemed as
a feed for sick and convalescent horses.
In health, carrots may be given sliced in
cut feed. Haifa bushel a day is sufficient,
if other strong food is not given. Boiled
carrots are given to sick horses. Carrots
are much used in feeding racing and other
sporting horses. They greatly improve
the horse's wind.?[Western Rural.
Potatoes in the South.?Mr. Ullathorne
shows how rapidly the new practice
of growing seed potatoes is extending
in the South. Only a few years ago we
thought that it was absolutely essential to
get Northern grown seed for the early potato
crop. Now we know that potatoes
raised in autumn here from Northern seed
planted in spring give us our best seed, but
1 do not think it advisable to extend the
process further. Enough Northern grown
potatoes should be planted in spring to
furnish seed for the late crop, or deterioration
will set in. All the Northern potatoes
we are now getting here (March 15) are
badly sprouted and unfit for table use, but
I am eating North Carolina grown potatoes
dug in December last, which have not
started an eye and which, upon cooking,
show by their dry and mealy condition
that the starch is still unchanged. It will
not be long before the Northern markets
will seek a spring table supply of these
magnificent potatoes to take the place of
the clammy sprouted potatoes of spring

Southern products Most of our growers
plant this late crop too early. \Ve had
potatoes last fall which did not appear
above ground until after the middle of
September, and yet made a better crop
than some planted in July. The proper
time for planting here is loth to 20th of
August.?[American Garden.
Watek Youk Horses.?Horses drink
once or twice a day, and the horse may be
trusted to gauge his thirst, except on occasion
of extreme exertion, such as a hunting
morning. That all horses are the better
for being watered before fed, writes L.
F. Herrick in The Ploughman, is an admitted
fact with all veterinary surgeons and
intelligent grooms. Colic and gripes are
thus avoided. The explanation given is
this: when the stomach is full, water,
passing rapidly through the stomach on
the way, is very apt to carry with it, into
the small intestines, undigested corn, and
this produces local irritation. There is less
danger in watering a horse actively warm
than when the system is somewhat lowered.
In the latter case there is not enough
vitality to raise any considerable quantity
of cold water up to the body; hence sc
many chills supervene, bowels are deranged,
and the coats of such horses look unthrifty,
or, as we call it, "stares." Sofl
water is better for all stock, and on no account
let horses drink dirty wrter; it is
most objectionable.
Eating Vegtables.?Good Houskeeping
says on the subject: In a substantially
vegetable diet, cream and cheese should
occasionally be used, all of which contain
much solid nutriment. About one-third
of the egg is nutrition, and good eheest
contains a still larger proportion. Buttei
is also food. An eminent chemist declare.there
is "more strength stored up in an
ounce of butter than in two ounces o
meat," although butter will not furnisl
material to build up the tissues of the body
like bread and meat. Yet butter, witl
eggs and cream or cheese in a moderate
amount, will generate all the animal heal
and force needed, just as coal and wood
generate heat under the boiler of an engine

that one pound of boiled beans contains

|@*We are accustomed to be told thai
the most impure water will be renderei
pure by boiling, and that in this we have
an absolute safeguard against the dangei
of water containing disease germs. Now
while it is true that boiling will kill th<
germs of disease, yet the fact has beei
brought to our notice, says Annals of Hygiene,
by so high an authority as Dr. C'has
M. Cressen, that while boiling kills th<
germs of a particular disease, it yet, ir
reality, renders the water more impun
than it was before, because by the verj
death of these germs, dead organic mattei
is allowed to remain in the water, which
is polluted by putrefaction. Hence, whih
boiliny is a most excellent nreeautioi
against the occurrence of typhoid fever oi
similar diseases, when we have occasion t<
think that the germs of these diseases ex
ist in the water that we drink, yet we mus
remember that this boiling does not purify
the water; it simply removes from it th<
specific power to produce a specific dis
ease.
A Blessing if True.?The following
remedy for diphtheria is said to be th<
best known, at least it is worth trying, foi
physicians seem powerless to cope with tin
disease successfully. At the first indica
tion of diphtheria in the throat of a chile
make the room close, then take a tin cuj
and pour into it a quantity of tar and tur
pentineof equal parts. Then hold the cuj
over a fire so as to fill the room with fumes
The little patient on inhaling the fume
will cough up and spit out all the mem
branous matter, and the diphtheria wil
pass oft'. The fumes of the tar and turpen
tine loosen the matter in the throat, ant
thus afford the relief that lias buttled tin
skill of physicians.?[Scientific American

A SOLDIER'S LIFE.
While in the army, writes a eorrespon
dent of The Transcript, 1 had experienc
in both infantry and cavalry, and by obser
vation I came to know something of th
artillery branch of the service; so that
am tolerably competent to express an opin
ion as to the comparative advantages o
each one of the three. As between infantr;
and cavalry, I am constrained to conside
the former, all things considered, the inor
desirable. On a march, there's no denyinj
it, it is pleasanter to have a horse to carr
you than to have to carry yourself, hand!
capped by gun, equipments and other im
pediments; but on the other hand, at th
end of the march, the infantryman has n<
horse to care for, to picket, to rub dowi
and to feed, before looking out for hiinsell
Again there is something exhilarating ii
charging upon the enemy, with a hors
under you. The animal is excited lik
yourself; there is a bond of sympathy be
tween you and him, a community of inter
est, a oneness of feeling, which makes acen
taur of you for the time being; both yoi
and the horse are drunk with the wine <i
excitement: it is .grand, glorious, mi
then a small injury either to yourself o
horse may send you to the earth, to b
trampled upon in a most unheroic man
ner. Furthermore, the cavalry charge i
of infrequent occurrence. The cavalry
man's fighting is mostly on foot, like th
infantryman, but with this difference: h
has more to carry, and his load is a mos
awkward one. On one side he has havei
sack, canteen and sabre; on the other, cai
bi ne and cartridge-box. To trudge throug!
the woods and undergrowth with all thes
things is anything but agreeable, and whe
retreating before an enemy, the dismount
ed cavalryman's load is particularly vex
atious. I remember one day, four of u
had dismounted to destroy a bridge. Be
fore we had completed our work, the Cor
federate cavalry appeared coming aroun
on the far side of the wood to our right
Our regiment fell back, and wo four start
ed after it on the run. We couldn't inak
much progress, however, embarrassed a
we were with sabre and carbine, not t
mention other weighty matters hangin
from our shoulders. The men who nel;
our horses showed* 110 disposition to wai
for us. On the contrary, they appeare
doubly anxious to get out of the way (
the enemy. The Confederates certainl
would have corralled us four had not ou
colonel's watchful eye taken in the situi
tion. Instantly he ordered the horse-lioh
ers to ride to the front, which they (li
sorely against their own will and the wi
of the horses, for the cavalry horse is
gregarious animal, and yearns to go wit
the gang. However, the horses wcr
finally brought out to meet us. Withou
loss of time we had swung ourselves int
our saddles, and away we went after th
regiment amid a shower of musket bail:
which fortunately had no other effect tlia
to quicken our gallop.
Often-times, after a hard day's ride, v;
were obliged to stand with our bridle-reii
on our arms for hours, while the infantr
men, who no doubt had envied as durin
the march, were drinking their coffee, an
munching their salt horse and hard tacl
and making preparations for passing th
night as comforta bly as possible. A ma
could not sit, much less lie down? withoi
danger of being stepped on by his own c
somebody else's horse, although I mut
give the animals the credit of never stej
ping on a man if it could be avoidet
Sometimes the order was given for ever
man to sleep with his bridle-rein 011 h
arm, the understanding, of course, bein
that his horse should be at the other end <
the rein. When the night was particularl
dark, we used to obey the order in its lettc
but not in its spirit. We would picket 01
horses to some convenient tree, and the
retire with the bridle-rein 011 our arm
and snatch a nap away from the horse
hoofs. It was wrong to do so, and had tl

In my cavalry experience, I never ei
joyed myself so thoroughly as when v
were living 011 the country ; that is to so
when we foraged for food. One part
would go out at dusk for provender ft
the horses, and another for food for tl
men. Many and many a night did we s
up to cook chickens and turkeys, with ri<
and sweet potatoes for entrees. I can te
you it was delicious as well as romanti
sitting around a big iron kettle, the glov
ing fire under it serving to intensify th
surrounding darkness. It was real gyps
life and we were as nappy as grigs, ana v
ate until we could eat no more. Then
companionable smoke, and finally a r
freshing slumber until the gray of tl
morning; that is, if we were not disturl
ed; in that event away we went with tl
remnants of our feast stuffed in our have
sacks.
But the cavalryman's life was a hard on
harder on th"e whole than the foot soldier'
He was always 011 the go. In camp he wi
busy with his horse a large part of the da;
and then the vidette duty which he had 1

lonesome. To lie set upon a horse for ftv
to four hours at a stretch, away from ever;
body on a lonely road, with orders, in ca>
of the enemy's approach, to hold his po:
as long as possible, was not enjoyable
quite tne contrary. It was very nearl
true that, as one of my comrades once r
marked, "You never see a cavalryma
without a pass, the countersign, and a cai

The infantryman 011 picket has comradi

and nearly every limber and caisson is o
namented with a box of hardbread (
other provisions. The infantryman an
cavalryman have only such rations as the
can carry in their haversacks; the ligh
battery soldier has a wagon to carry all li
can lay hand to. Then the artillerymn
escapes the skirmishing which constitute
so large a share of the fighting; itisonl
in actual battle that he has to stand befoi
the enemy's fire. It is hot enough for hii
then ; but taken by and large, the arti

There were times, however, when tli
work had its incidental excitement,
never wearied watching the men of tli
engineer regiment in the Morris Jslan
works. The men would march in in tli

guns were laid aside, and all day long the

whenever by any means they exposed hea

in addition to the attentions of the sharj

Tiie Effects of the Original Pack?
age Decision in Kansas.?At Ottawa,
last Thursday evening, the citizens' corn1
mittee of one hundred unhitched the horses
from a wagon loaded with original
i- packages of liquor, which were about to be
e unloaded and transferred to a "store," and
run the wagon back to the depot. There
the packages were reshipped to the house
^ in Kansas City, where they came from.
I The committee has a watch upon another
i- consignment, which is at the depot. It is
if thought the agents will replevin the goods.
y In case they do, an indemnity bond is
r ready and any damage the court or jury
e may award will be paid,
g During the celebration of the Fourth, at
y Ottawa, at which 10,000 persons were
- present, it was reported that an agent for
. the Kan:-as Brewing company was about
e to open unoriginal package house. The
o exercises were suspended long enough to
ii denounce in unmeasured terms the sale of
f. liquor and heer in original packages, and
ii favoring measures that would prevent such
e sale.
e At Girard, on Saturday afternoon, Mrs.
s james a. omnn went iuio me rorunam
- original packing house and commenced
!- breaking bottles. When the new ugent,
u Gus Steinbach, interfered, she assaulted
if him with a buggy whip, striking him a
t half dozen times before he ejected her
r from the room. lie had her arrested. She
e was fined one dollar in the police court,
the amount being paid by the bystanders,
s Her husband has been on a protracted
r. drunk since the house has been opened.

e Foolish Talk by Sam Jones.?Rev.
Sam Jones is reported to have made the
.. following indiscreet utterances in Wash._

^ "These folks who think they can do anye
thing with the Federal election bill are
tl mistaken. A freo ballot and a fair count

ment. It would take half a million sol[.
diers to enforce it?a regiment in every
A county.
t "A negro is killed in the South once in a
^ while, killed with lead. Up in Indiana
e they kill white voters with silver. You
s buy voters up North with money. In the
"q South one gets killed once in a while; it's
~ cheaper. But a hundred are purchased in

THE CORI
Is The Best Farming Ii
NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO
Right Now In th
THERE is no (lonbt of the fact that no farming
implement has ever been offered to the
farming world that has given such universal
satisfaction as the CORBIN DISK HARROW.
11 is usuu 111 ov?ry OUUU uiiu iwrnunj' miu in
heartily and enthusiastically endorsed hy every
farmer who has ever used it, and they are numbered
by thousands. Practical farmers everywhere
agree that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION,
the most profitable implement for cultivating
the soil and putting in grain yet invented.
It increases the crops, saves time, and
saves labor.
The Harrow is made of first-class material
throughout, and with proper care will do good
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay
for itself a dozen times over. 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
by rocks and the Harrow will do good work
on all kinds of land.
The following are some of the points of superiority
possessed by the Corbin Harrow :
1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly
flexible (t. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven
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
boxes and anti-friction balls.
4. It is the only Harrrow that has a successful
Seeder Attachment.
5. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder
that covers every kernel of grain in rows
like a drill.
??. The Corbin is unequaled for lightnoss 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 bo attached to it.
Tlio Seed Box and its machinery aro of the
most simple and compact character. All its
metal parts are of malleable or rehned wrought
iron. Its weight is (of the size to tit the No. 7
12-<liHk Harrow) about eighty pounds.
The Seeder Attachment is removable at
pleasure. It locks itself firmly to the Harrow
framo by simply putting it into position.
Neither bar, bolt, wedge, 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 placo it at any depth in the
ground. It is two complete implements in
onp. It prepares the field in the best possible
manner for seeding and then sows the crop.
It sows UKD ltUST-PROOF OATS capitally.
WORDS OF PRAISE.

I do not hesitate to pronounce it a most perfect
and indispensable farm implement and
would recommend it to all my fellow-farmers.
?[Cbaa. Hardy, Gouverneur, N. Y.
I have never seen anything to equal the
work of the Corbin Disk Harrow. It will undoubtedly
revolutionize our system of farming.?[Rev.
W. S. Johnson, Calhoun, <ia.
The Disk Harrow is absolutely indispensable
to a farmer who has once used it. Its value
as a farming implement cannot be estimated.
?[Geo. L. Riddle, Zeno, York county, 8. 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 Rrown, 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 ltdoes 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 more
work for its cost than any implemont made.
?[Win. H. Ilerndon, Yorkville, 8. 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 one during
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.?[K. N.
Davidson, Lominack, York county, S. C.
I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have
been using for several years, and consider it
the most valuablo farming implement of which
I have any knowledge. Ab a time and money
saver, aside from the superior quality of work
it docs, its value can hardly bo estimated at
the season at which the small grain is sown.
?nt. 10. Guthrie. Guthriesville. 8. C.
I consider myself incompent to do the implement
justice. I consider the Corbin Disk
Harrow is the most valuable farming implement
I have ever used, or evor expect to use.
There is 110 implement of which I havo any
knowledge that will do so m&uv different kinds
of work or do the work as well.?[Dr. Wm. M.
Walker, Yorkvillo, S. C.
TheCorbin Harrow is a complete success, and
overy farmer should have one, and the longer
the matter of buying is put olf, the greator the
loss to tho farmer, as it can be used to great ad- |
vantage in winter, spring, summor and fall.
I consider myself incompetent to do the implement
justice from an economical standpoint.
?[Wm. S. Wilkorson, Hickory drove, 8. 0.
I lind a wonderful difference in working land
that has been harrowed and that which has not.
The moro I use my Harrow tho bettor I like it.
It is my purpose to sow my small grain with '
it next fall, and for two reasons; lirst, I con
sow it better, and, therefore got better results;
and second, I can doit at about one-fifth the
expense and in one-tifth the time as compared
to the ordinary way of sowing grain. No farmer
can alford to be without the Corbin Harrow, and
tho soonor tho farmers lind this out the hotter.
I would not take live times tho 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. II. (Henn, Yorkvillo,
S. C.
Tho abovo testimonials, from practical fari
mors should be sufficient to convinco the most
skeptical that the Corbin Disk Harrow is a
complete succoss. No farming implement has
over received such universal praise in this
section.
The 8t. Lawreneo M'fg Co., who are tho
manufacturers of tho Corbin Harrow, recommend
tho No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted
to general farm work. It is made in two sizes,
viz.: 12 disks, 10 inches in diameter, and 0-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.
I am sole agent for the St. Lawrence M'fg
Co. for York, Chester, Falrtleld and Lancaster
counties, 8. C., and Mecklenburg county, N. C.
I am prepared to quote unusually low prices
and liberal terms. Call 011 or writo to me at
