HAD BEEN DECEIVED.
When Col. Aberdeen announced himself
as a candidate for the legislature, there
was, throughout the county, an almost
universal expression of approval, for the
colonel had oeen so kind and patient in
his dealings with the negroes that many
of them were willing to throw aside politics
and vote for him. There was one old negro,
however, that shook his head and
muttered in opposition.
"Why, what do you mean by opposing
the colonel, Dan ?" a white man aslcedone
morning when he met the old negro in
the roaa. 4
"I reckon I'sgot a privilege ter do whut
I'se doin', sah. In dis y ere Tree country er
man ain!t got no right ter tell er pusson
how he mus' vote ur how how he musn't."
"Of course not, Dan, but we counted on
your vote as a sure thing."
"How come ?"
"Why, the colonel has always been your
friend. Last year, when your wife died,
he paid the funeral expenses, didn't he ?"

a fellow dat owed him ter make de coffin

"That may be, but you should consider
the spirit of generosity that prompted the
action. Ana, hold on a minute; here is
another thing: Ijast spring, when you had
the rheumatism, he sent a number of hands
in to your cotton-field."
"Yas, cazehe knowed dat er third o' de
cotton would 'long ter him an' dat de mo'
it wuz worked de mo' he would git."
"I must say, Dan, that you are one of
the most ungrateful men I ever saw."
"You'sgot er right ter yo' 'pinion, sah."
"Yes, every man has a right to his opinion
when his opinion is honest, but is it an
honest opinion that causes you to oppose
the colonel's election ?"
"Yas, sah, I kin stan' right yere flatfooted
an' say it is."
"Would you mind telling me what
caused you to form an ill opinion of him ?"

Not Homesick.?There are some feelings,
innocent enough in themselves,
which nevertheless a man does not like
to express in so many words. If he acknowledges
them, he prefers to do it indirectly.
not taking a straight course, but, as
the old saying is, going "round Robin
Hood's barn."
The captain of Company G, Twelfth
Vermont regiment, was strolling in the
woods just out of camp, says a writer in
the Salem Witch, when he came upon a
member of his company sitting on the
stump of a tree, and looking as tliough he
had fought his last fight.
"What's the matter, Bill?" said the captain.
"Oh, nothing," was the reply. "I am
all right."
"You look as though you had a tit of
homesickness."
"No, sir," said Bill, with some resentment,
"nothing of the sort."
"Well, what are you thinking about?"
asked his questioner.
"I was thinking," said the Vernionter,
"that I wished I was in my father's barn."
"In your father's barn! What on earth
would you do if you were in your father's
barn?"
The poor fellow uttered a long drawn
sigh and said, "I'd go into the house
mighty quick!" ^
The Free Pass Fiend.?Roland Reed
tells a story of a would be friend who asked
him for free seats one night. Reed
assured him that he could only get tickets
by paying for them himself. But the
man was persistent.
"Oh, pshaw! see if you can' squeeze me
out two seats."
"I tell you 1 can only do it by buying
them."
"But anywhere will do. Can't you fix
me in the gallery ?"
"If you must persist, come with me to
the box office ana I will show you what I
can do."
They went to the box office, and Reed
passed in saying: "Give me two seats."
His friend seemed to be surprised to see
that Reed really had to pay for the seats.
"Is that right, Roland ?"
"Why, of course it is ; don't you see my
money there?"
"Well, if you have got to pay for them,
you might as well make it three?my
wife's sister would like to go, too."
Cause for Thankfulness.?In the
Theater Royal, Dublin, when the Italian
company came to play Faust, the actor
who took the part of Mephistopheles neglected
to try the size of the trap-door by
which he was supposed to descend into the
infernal regions. His figure, which "he
had not lost, but which had gone before
was too large for the opening, and at the
supreme moment he discovered that he
could not go down above his waist. To
heighten the awkwardness of the situation,
and to relieve the strained feelings of the
audience, one of the gods in the gallery,
in a rich Irish brogue, exclaimed, "Begorra!
hell's full."
I?* "Well, Dennis, did that porous plaster
help your lame back ?" "Fwell, doctor,
Oi can't say that it has helped me
much yet, but mebbe it will. You know
it was only last night Oi tuk it." "Took
it! What do you mean?" "Oi mane
that Oi chawed 'n chawed fur half an hour

took with him his sharp little first-born,

sat down to read the payer, while the
youngster went to play with some other
children. On their way home Brown inquired,
"How have you enjoyed yourself?"
Very much, papa." "What did you say

Does Wheat Ever Turn to Chess?
Many intelligent persons believe that
growing wheat will, under unfavorable
circumstances, change to chess. In proof
of this they cite cases where before an unseasonable
frost or storm was a promising
growth of wheat, could soon afterward be
found only a growth of chess. This is no
proof of transformation of wheat into chess!
Wheat belongs to the genus Triticum; chess
belongs to the genus Bromus. There is no
more connection between, or dependence
of one upon the other than there is between
the sheep and goat, or between copper and
iron. One of these latter is just as likely
to change to the other as wheat is to chess*!
If wheat could turn to cheas we would
sometimes find in a field stalks having
upon it wheat and chess grains, but no
one has ever seen such a monstrosity. The
undersigned will pay a handsome reward
for such a specimen. The reason why
chess appears where wheat should be is
because either the ground was already
stocked with chess seed or the farmer sowed
chess^as an impurity with his wheat
seea. ine season proving uumvurnuic iu
wheat, the chess, which is very hardy, got
the upper hand and smothered the wheat.

Household Recipes.?A thorough
washing of the mica windows of stoves in
vinegar will remove the smoke.
For a grass stain on children's clothes,
while it is fresh, wash it out in alcohol.
Damp salt will remove the discoloration
of cups and saucers caused by tea and careless
washing.
A strong solution of alum, to which has
been added a little glycerine and vinegar,
is a cure for mosquito bites.
Keep nickel, silver ornaments and
mounts bright by rubbing with woolen
cloth saturated in spirits of ammonia.
To make fly paper, mix together, by
stirring, equal parts of castor oil and melted
rosin, and while yet slightly warm

Ac.
The stains of ink on books and engravings
may be removed by applying a solution
of oxalic acid, citric acid or tartaric
acid upon the paper without fear of damage.
These acids take out writing ink,
but do not interfere with the printing.
Benefits fkom Mulching.?The benefit
derived from mulching fruit trees are
many. The mulch checks evaporation and
thus retains moisture in the soil, which is
a decided advantage in a dry time. The
soil, therefore, does not bake, but remains
open and porous for the free admission of
air, while the earth worms and microbes
are doing their work to enrich the soil.
The mulch used gradually decays and furnishes
needed humus. It also aids materially
in the process of nitrification?that
i9, in combining the nitrogen of the atmosphere
with other elements, and thus
fitting it fnr nlnnt food. This secures one
of the most costly of plant foods, not because
nitrogen is not abundant, but because
it is so hard to fix and fit for the uses of
the plant.
Ladies who find it difficult to preserve
the blossoms and leaves they delight
so much in wearing as a garniture to evening
dres3, will be able to wear them much
longer without fading if they surround
the stems with moistened powdered willow
charcoal, which may be wrapped in a little
bed of moss, and covered with a bit of
green tissue paper to prevent the charcoal
from shifting through the moss. A teaspoonful
of powdered charcoal put in a
ewer of water will preserve a boquet of
cut flowers for several days if the stems of
the flowers are cut each day, as the broken
end of the flower stem withers and closes
the opening through which the blossom receives
its nourishment.?[Exchange.
The Dust in Hay.?There is, as all
farmers know, more or less dust in all hay,
and this, if taken into the lungs, is very
injurious to horses fed on it. Clover hay
and that of timothy cut in the bloom are
especially liable to be dusty, and often give
horses the heaves when fed on either of
these. Slightly wetting the hay will prevent
this injury. The better way is to cut
the hay, slightly moisten it, and throw on
it a little corn and oats ground together,
taking care not to give more than will be
eaten clean at each feed. Between meals
the rack may be filled with fresh straw,
which the horse will pick over, and which
may then be used for bedding.
As to Rented Farms.?Somebody
tells a deal of truth in these six sentences':
Never rent a farm when you cau own one.
The man who rents a farm must necessarily
add much to the premises from which
he*cannot derive any benefit. If he attempts
to crop a rented farm without doing

improvements of the soil from which
the owner receives the benefit, in the
course of time, at the expense of the
renter. All farms should be rented by
mutual agreement, and all conditions
plainly stipulated.
One Remedy for House Colic.?A
Georgia correspondent vouches for the
remedy for horse colic here reproduced
from rlhe Southern Cultivator. He says :
"Take a blanket and cover the bowels of
the horses with it. Then secure it in position
with two girts tightly to the horse.
Apply hot water, or as hot as the horse
can bear it, freely. The bowels are relaxed
and the horse relieved of the colic like
a charm."
Make Trees Beak.?Mrs. Mary Brandon,
says The Tennessee Farmer, gives her
experience in making fruit trees bear in
the following words: "I had a quince
tree that was full of blooms every year
but bore no fruit. 1 removed the dirt from
around the tree and put brine and salt from
a fish keg into its place and that year it was
full as it could hang."
*fc7M)ne of the best things in the world to

Harris, after twenty years' trial of it.

big game in the toils.
Oih' morning in September, while 1 was
mgaged in the survey of the Sierra Hi Sal,
1 had ridden down to a cattle camp, a few
niles below us, to deliver and get our mail,
vhich was brought there by special messenger.
Sitting on my horse in the shade
>f the cotton woods, I was talking for a monent
with William Little, the "herd boss."
Suddenly interrupting the account which
le was giving me of the last Navajo attack,
Little exclaimed, "Hallo! thunder in the
vinter! how did that steer get up there ?"
He pointed up the valley, and toward the
)pposite side, where a solitary animal
seemed to la1 peacefully grazing.
Now the camn had been nlaced in that
mrticular spot m order to restrain the catle
from wandering up to the head of the
alley and straying into the foot-hills. The
tides of the valley were so steep that the
inimals could not climb out, and the cow)oys
formed a living fence which kept
hem within bounds.
A steer seldom strays far from its fellows,
ind Little was very much surprised to see
his one at least two miles from the nearest
'hunch."
"Wonder if 'tain't that ole line-back we
jot in that hunch from the May hoys ? lie
s such an unsociable i itter, he's alluz a
itrayin' oil' by himself. Take a squint at
ini through yer glass, an' see what lie's
ike."
Unslinging my field-glasses, 1 looked at
he creature. Then I handed them to Litle,
and said, "See if you think that looks
ike 'Old Line-back." He steadied the
jlass for a moment, and then ho suddenly
Iropped it and called out, "A grizzly, by
ing! We'll have some fun now. Bob!
Jharloy! Kid ! wake up! here's a grizzly!"
Three cowboys, who were making a late
ireakfast, jumped up and came rushing out,
hatching sight of the bear, they hurried to"
he corral where their horses were tied.
These rough and ready riders, as they
tune out, made a picturesque group of
nen. Just following Little, the "boss,"
tunc "The Kid," the youngest, and the
>et of the whole "outfit." The rest took
lelight in his boyish jollity, and looked
in with pride at his harum-scarum ventureomeness.
He was sixteen, Texas born
md bred, or as he says, "born in the saddle,
md riz in a corral," he knew nothing but
torses and cattle, and like the ancient
Persians, thought that a liberal education
(insisted in being able "to shoot straight,
ide a horse and tell the truth."
Then came "Broncho Bob," so called
rom his ability to ride and conouer the
vorst bucking broncho. Close to him was
'Jaybird Charley," who has received his
tame from his partiality for bright colors,
md especially for his showy blue scarfs
md neckties.
They were dressed much alike, with
iroad-brimmed white hats decorated with
iidlion fringe, blue shirts, with a handkerliief
loosely knotted around their throats,
nd pantaloons tucked into their highopped
boots, over which last, when ridng,
they wore the. Mexican calzoneros or
iveralls made of calf-skin, and buckling
oosely around the leg. They all used the
leavy bit, the high-peaked roomy saddle,
nd the long, sharp-rowelled spurs of the
Mexican vaquero. They were rough and
loisterous, and given to horse-play and
ude railery, save Charley, who seemed to
e of quieter ways than the rest, and was a
nan of some education.
"Where are your, guns?" I asked, as
hey were about to start.
"(tuns nothin'!" said the Kid; "here's '
vhat'll do the b'ar's business for him!"
le whirled his lasso around his head. 1
"Indeed!" I answered, somewhat inredulously.
"I think you'll find there's
. difference between a grizzly and a Texas
teer."
"Reckon there is; but, just the same,
ve'll ketch the b'ar with these yer riatas,
nd fetch him into camp alive !"
"Honestly do you really intend to 'rope'
hat bear?" * ,
"Right you are!" lie shouted, as we
lashed away to cut the bear off from the
lills, from which lie was distant about one
mlf a mile.
The big beast appeared not to see us unil
we were within two hundred yards,
vhen, with a grunt of surprise, he left off
ligging his afternoon lunch of crickets and
leld-mice, and shambled toward the little
avine through which he had come down
nto the plain.

n front of Little, who yelled to his horse
,nd dashed at him. 1, who am not a cow>oy,
wisely decided that this was none of
ny business, and drew my horse up to an
asy loj>e, contented to watch the fun from
. distance.
I was amazed to see with what rapidity
he hear pot over the ground. Little's
>ony was a particularly pood one, hut he
lid not gain more than one yard in live on
he hear, which lumbered along at a gait
hat seemed very slow and awkward, and
-et would have left the swiftest sprintunner
behind.
Hut Little pained steadily, if slowly,
ind presently 1 saw the loop of the lasso
ircle, around his head, paining speed with
ivery revolution, till it shot out in front,
he snaky coils straightening out as it flew,
aid the loop, round as a barrel-hoop, setling
over the bear's head.
Well cast, "Little Hilly," well cast!
5ixty feet, if an inch, and not five feet left
11 coil. The trained pony stopped as if
urned to stone, made a quarter wheel,
ind, sinking back upon his haunches,
iraced himself for the coming shock.
Hut the lasso was old, and had seen too
nany years of faithful service; and as the
veight of the lunging beast came on it, it
luivered a moment, and then snapped
:lose to the loop, and the loose end whiz:ed
back.
Hardly had Little gathered up the slack
>f his useless lariat when "the Kid" dash d
by, yelling like a Comanche Indian,
lis lasso cutting the air with a hissing
ound, as it whizzed around his head.
Hie first cast missed, but the next was
nore successful, and a second time the
>ear wore a necklace of rawhide.
Hut the "Kid" was too light a weight,
md rode, that day, tbo light a pony; and
hough the horse met the shock gallantly,
he momentum of the immense mass of
lesh at the other end was too much for him.
Vfter a moment's ineffectual resistance, he
vas jerked over sidewise, and fell prone,
>utthe "Kid" nimbly cleared himself and
flighted unon his feet.
Like an automaton, the bear surged
ihead, dragging the pony after him until
lis late rider, rushing forward, cut the
ariat with his knife, and freed his horse,
vhich scrambled to its feet, putting and
ilowing, with his breath almost jolted
nit by his rough passage over the ground.
Little and the "Kid" are now out of the
ight, but where are the other two ? Turnng,
I saw that Bob's horse had stepped
nto a badger hole, and thrown his rider
>ver his head. But Bob had retained his
lold upon the lariat, and a spirited contest
?egan, the horse rearing and plunging and
lacking away, while Bob tried to catch
he bit, eager to mount and be "in at the
leath."
Charley, on the slowest and best-winded
lorse in the camp, is two hundred yards
iway, and it begins to look as if the bear
vouldgain the gulch and escape.
Kxcited by the prospect, and forgetting
ill dictates of prudence, I dashed forward,
houting and swinging my hat, and by a
ihorter cut to the left, succeeded in heading
iff the bear. This feat might have cost me
learly, for the creature came upon me
;o closely that I only avoided a collision
vith him by abruptly turning and bolting
roni his line of retreat. But I had delayed
lis flight, and Charley now bore down upon
lis heels. My rash impulse, I proudly
felt, had mended the hunt; for a moment
ater the lariat was round the grizzly's
leek, and Charley's powerful pony, seting
back on his haunches, jerked the bear
iff his feet and landed him on his back
vitli a thud that almost shook the ground.
Recovering himself, the grizzly rolled
o his feet and plunged mightily to get
'roe. But the pony gave him not an inch
>f slack, and the lariat, though it stretched
md cracked and "sang like a fiddle
itring," stood the strain noniy.
Changing his tactics, tlic bear then bolt'(1
toward iris captor. Hut a toucii of the !
leel sent the horse off at an angle, and as
he lasso tightened again, the grizzly was
nice more jerked from his feet, and landed
>n his side. Again and again this inanieu:re
was repeated, until the hear grew sulen,
and squatting on his haunches, seem'd
to he meditating his next move.
Meantime the others had gatheretl
tround, hut at Charley's request, did not
nterfere. Soon the hear, rising on his |
lind-legs, seized the lariat with his fore
iaws, and hegan to pull himself toward
lis captor. ('barley's most energetic jerks
ailed to get it from his grasp. Then spuring
hither and thither, he tried to tangle
he beast and throw him. hut to no pur>oso.
The animal slowly, hut steadily |
hortened the distance between them. If
'barley had been alone, he would have
icon forced to cut his lariat to escape; hut I
Little, watching his chance, now dashed
in, and, bending from his saddle, snatched
up the loose end of the "Kid's" lariat, as it
trailed along the ground, knotted it
around the pomel of his saddle, and, throwing
his horse back on his haunches, blocked
the bear's game.
Then Lob, who had succeeded in remounting,
dropped a dextrous loop so as
to catch an upraised hind-foot ; and now,
like Gulliver in the hands of the Lilliputians,
the formidable animal was helpless.
If he made a frantic rush for Charley,
Little's lariat checked him. If he turned
on Little, Charlie brought him up with
a round turn. If he tried to bolt, Boh
checked his horse, and the bear found
himself helplessly pawing on three legs.
If he sulked and hung back, Little and
Charley dragged him ignominiously
along, while the "Kid" and I played
vaquero in the rear.
But the creature kept up the contest, and
horses, riders and l>ear were thoroughly
blown and spent by the time the camp was
reached. Then came the question what
shall we do with him ?
The beast was full grown and in good
condition. The massive muscles of his
chestand shoulders stood out likeropesas
he tugged at the cords which held him.
One sweep of those curving sickle claws
would cut a man into ribbons. Ilis little
red eyes glowed like dull coals of fire.
Foam dripped from his cavernous mouth?
he was "mad" from head to foot?and every
separate hair on his body quivered with
rage. In short, lie was an incarnation of
immense strength and brutal ferocity.
To keep such a monster alive was impossible.
No pen nor ropes would hold him
for an hour. Sentence of death was passed
therefore, and the "Kid" stepped forth as
executioner:
"I will tell you where to shoot," said Little
to the boy. "Draw, in your mind, a
line from the inner corner of each of the
bear's eyes to the base of the opposite ear.
Have you got the point where those two
lines cross ?"
"Yes."
"Then ride close, and put a bullet an
inch above it."
The heavy cavlary Colt cracked sharply.
For a moment we thought that the creature's
thick skull had defied the ball; for
he neither stirred nor flinched a hair. But
suddenly a convulsive shiver ran through
the big mass of gray brawn and bone, the
glare of the eye died out slowly, as a coal
fades in the sunlight and the white ash
covers it; and the great brute pitched over
upon his nose?dead.?[Youth's Companion.

THE CORI
Is The Best Fanning In
NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO i
Riglit Now In tin
THERE is no doubt of the fact that no farming
implement has ever been otlered to the
farming world that has given such universal
satisfaction as tho CORBIN BISK HARROW.
It is used in every State and Territory and is
heartily and enthusiastically endorsed by overy
farmer who has over usod 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 yot invented.
It incroases the crops, saves time, and
saves labor.
The Harrow is made of first-class material
throughout, and with proper caro will do good
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay
for itself a do/on times ovor. The wheels or
disks are made of tho vory best of steel, and
will neither break, bond or crumble. Tho
disks aro not alfocted to any appreciable extent
by rocks and the Harrow will do good work
on all kinds of land. <
Tho following aro soino of tho points of superiority
possessed by tho Corbin Harrow :
1. It'is theonly Disk Harrow that is perfectly
flexible (?'. c. one that will adapt itself to uneven
surfaces).
2. It is tho only Harrow in which tho gangs
are independent of each other?either can lit or
follow an inequality without disturbing tho
other.
3. It is the only Harrow having chilled
boxes and anti-friction balls.
I. It is the only Ilarrrow that has a successful
.Seeder Attachment.
5. It is thoonly combined Harrow and Seodor
that covers ovory kernel of grain in rows
like n drill.
t>. Tho Corbin is unoqualed 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 lie attached to it.
i no noon nox aim lis macninory aro 01 1110
most simple and compact character. All its
motal parts aro of malleable or rolined wrought
Iron. Its weight is (of the size to tit the No. 7
12-disk Harrow) about eighty pounds.
| The Seeder Attachment is removable at
pleasure. It locks itself lirmly to the Harrow
frame by simply putting it into position.
Noitlior bar, l>olt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is
used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer,
| wrench or other tool is required to attach or
detach it. Haifa minute of time will remove
and ono minute roplace it.
The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about
half as much as a Drill, and is a bettor tool.
! It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover
I it better, and place it at any depth in the
I ground. It is two complete implements in
j one. It prepares the field in the best possible
: mannor for seeding and then sows the crop.
. It sows RED RUST-PROOF OATS capitally.

I do not hesitate to pronounce it a most perfect
and indispensable farm implement and
would recommend it to all my fellow-far mors.
?[Chan. Hardy, < Jouvernour, N. Y.
T h'l Vft nntfoi- annn o it It i nrr (a Stsmal tlm
work of the Corbin Disk Harrow. It will undoubtedly
revolutionize our system of funning.?[Rev.
W. S. Johnson, Calhoun, <?a.
The Disk Harrow is absolutely indispensable
to a farmer who liftsonee used it. Its value
as a farming implement cannot bo ostimated.
?[t?oo. L. Kiddle, Zeno, York county, S. C.
The Corbin Harrow hits given perfect satisfaction
and I can recommend it as being the best
machine for pulverizing the soil that thorn is
tnado.?[Simon Hrown, Jr., ParuonlioJd, N. II,
The Corbin Disk Harrow lills a long felt
want in the farming community. As a pulverizer
it is a complete success, and its for putting
in small grain ttdoes its work admirably.? [W.
.1. Miller, Newport, York county, S. C.
I havo used the Disk Harrow for yours, and
would not bo without one for four times its
cost. I think tho Disk Harrow the most important
implement used, and will do moro
work for its cost than any implomont made.
?[Win. 11. lferndon, Yorkvillo, H. ('.
Tho only objection I havo to tho Corbin Harrow
is that I havo not owned one for tho last
twonty-tiveyours. If I had ownod one during
tho time mentioned, I would have saved lots
of hard work and made bettor crops. Now
that I havo ono I am delighted with it.?[K. N.
Davidson, Loininnek, York county, H. 0.
I havo a Corbin Disk Harrow which I havo
boon using for several years, and consider it
the most valuable farming implomont of which
I havo any knowledge. As a time and money
saver, aside from tho superior quality of work
it does, its valuo can hardly bo estimated at
tho season at which the small grain is sown.
?[U. E. Guthrie, Guthi nvillo, S. C.
I consider myself incompent to do tho implement
justice. I consider the Corbin Disk
Harrow is the most valuable farming implomont
I have ever used, or over expect to uso.
There is no implement of which I have anv
knowledge that will do so many different kinds
of work or do the work as well.?[Dr. Wm. M.
Walker, Yorkvillo, S. C.
The Corbin Harrow is a complete success, and
every farmer should have one, and tho longor
the matter of buying is put off, tho greater tho
loss to tho farmer, as it can be used to great advantage
in winter, spring, summer and fall.
I consider myHelf incompetent to do the implement
justice from an economical standpoint.
?[Wm. S. Wilkerson, Hickory drove, S. C.
I find a wonderful difference in working land
that has been harrowed and that which has not.
The more I uso my Harrow the bettor I like it.
It is my purpose to sow my small grain with
it next nil 1, and tor two reasons; first, I can
sow it bettor, and, therefore get bettor results;
and second, I can do it at about one-lifth the
expense and in one-fifth the time as compared
to the ordinary way of sowinggrain. 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 bo ,
pleased to give my friends anv further information
thev tnay desire.?[It. it. Glenn, Yorkvillo,
S.C/
The above testimonials, from practical farmers
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 MTg 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, 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 till orders promptly. I also
have SEEDER ATTACHMENTS on hand.
I am sole agent for the St. Lawroneo MTg
Co. for York, Chester, Fairfield and Lancaster
counties, S. C., and Mecklenburg county, N. C.
