A traveler came along, and just as he had begun to ask directions of the old fellow, there came a startling shriek from the house. "Gracious alive! what was that?" the traveler asked. "Oh, nuthin' much?jest my wife. She's in thar having her tuth pulled, but a-body out here not knowin' whut was up would think that thar was something the matter with her. She tuck up the idee some time ago that her nat'ral born teeth want good enough, an' lowed that she must nave these here teeth whut folks make. The preacher's wife had hern tuck out an' some new ones put in, an' then my wife was iest like a hen sitting on a hot gred-iron. She kep' a-digging at me an' a-digging at me, an'lowed at last that if I didn't agree to her havin' as good teeth as the preacher's wife, oKo mrrmlrln'f livo with mo nn lnntrW. Wall, I commenced to give in then, for if ' fchar'8 a woman in this world that knows how to bake a shote, she is the one, an' I jest kain't do without her. I sorter agreed, an' she sold her best cow an' a feather bed that her mother give her when she was married, an' to-day we come over here to the dentist. I don't know how many teeth he has pulled, but as nigh as I kin calculate, I have hearn her squawl about six times, an' if she haint' had but six snatched out, she's in a right bad fix yit, fur I reckon she must have ten more to come. Ah, thar comes another one," he added as the w^man shrieked distressingly. "Let's step in an' see how she's gittin' along." <fNo," said the traveler, "I'd rather not see her." i "Oh, but you must." "But I will not." 1 "All right, but if you don't I won't give you them directions, an' then you will be in a fix. You kain't find yo' way thar to save you. I don't mind givin' a man whut information I've got, but when a feller has so little intrust in my wife as you have, why I won't have nothin' to do with 1 him.1' "Oh, well, if you put in that light, I'll j go in." "All right; come ahead; an' mind now < that I want you to sympathize with her. I do reckon that she do like sympathy bet- i ter than any body you ever seed, an' as I : hain't got enough, I want you to help me. Do you understand ?" The traveler, declaring that he did understand, followed the old fellow into the < house. The woman, extremely fat, was 1 sitting on a sort of bench, and the dentist j stood over her vowing in soothing tones i that the next one wouldn't hurt at all. "How are you gittin'along?" the hus- 1 band asked. f "Very well, indeed," the dentist an- ] swered. i "How many have you snatched out?" "Seven, and I am about to begin on the ' eighth." "Doit hurt much, Mag?" the husband ' asked. "Oh, don't talk. It nearly kills me." "Wall, then, don't have no mo' pulled." 1 "What!" she snapped: "have no mo' i pulled an' let that preacher's wife have better lookin' teeth than I've got! Wall, i I reckon not. She ain't as good lookin' as ) I am, barm' tbe teeth, an' l ain't gom 10 i let her hold her head over me. Here, now"?turning to the executioner?"tear out another one." The dentist soused his tongs into her mouth, fumbled around a few moments, braced his foot against the wall and surged. The woman shrieked and the tooth came out. The husband, "nudging" the traveler, reminded him tnat it was time that the bonds of sympathy were issued. "Madam," said the traveler, stepping forward and bowing to the woman, "1?1, that is, does it hurt you very much ?" The woman looked at him for a mo mentand then said: "Have you come all | the way from the place whar you have , come frum to show me whut a fool you air ? Why, confound yo' ugly picture, I ] oughter skelp you right here." "Madam, let me assure you that I meant no harm." t "Oh, no, you haven't got sense enouh to ( mean nothin'. Why, I never saw sich a man in my life." "If I have offended you, madam, I humbly beg your pardon." "What, you come here to make fun of ; me jest because I don't want that preacher's wife to hold her head above me. Oh, you wretch! Let me get at him." She jumped up with surprising agility, , seized the traveler and jammed his head , against the wall with such force that a foot square of plastering fell. The traveler es- ( caped, after a hard struggle, and ran away. He had not gone very liar when the old fellow whom ne had just left, climbed over , a fence and approached. "I wanted to see you agin, so I cut through the woods to head you off," said he. "Well, I am glad you did not bring your wife with you." "Oh, you neenter be fretted about that, fur I never take her nowhar if I can he'p it. -1 jest want to explain matters." "I don't care so much for an explanation as I do for the directions you promis- , ed me." "All right. I'll give 'em to you." . After telling the traveler which way to , go, the old fellow said: "I reckon I am ( about the sharpest man in this commu- , nity." "How so ?" "Why, by gittin' you in thar to sympathize with my wife." "But what good did that do you ?" "Why, you see, I know'd that ef I got , you in thar an' got you to say suthin' foolish to her, it would take her mind offen me. If you hadn't went in she woulder hopped on me jest as soon as she got a chance, but as you satisfied her appetite she will let me alone for awhile, wall, I am much obleeged to you." THE YANKEEBEAT HIM. An Englishman and a Yankee were crossing on the same steamer, says the New York Herald. Like ourselves, they talked themselves out, and as a last recourse took to telling the tallest hunting yarns of which they had invaribly been the heroes. Each tried to overtop the other. Finally the Yankee got impatient. "Talk about your snipe shooting!" he cried derisively. "Why oncet down in Iowa, where I was stoppin' for a leetle spell, I went out shootin**- one mornin' and before 10 o'clock I hed broug;ht down nine hundred and ninety-nine pigeons exactly, and with a common gun at that!" "Why didn't you make it a thousand ?" said the Englishman sarcastically. "Couldn't. Ye don't think I would tell a durned lie for one pigeon?" cried the Yankee indignantly. "Aw, sir," said the cockney, "very good, indeed. But now let me tell you a story which is absolutely true, which I witnessed myself, and of which I am not the hero, but one of your own countrymen?a real, full blooded live Yankee. "Some years ago I was crossing on a Cunarder. We were close to the banks of Newfoudland and about a thousand miles from Boston. "Suddenly, quite close to us, we observed an object in the water. It was a human being, swimming for dear life. The captain stopped the steamer and hailed tne man. And what do you think it was ? A man, a Yankee, who, for a bet, had swam "II tliio ?ro,r fWkm Qrtofnn unH whn ail liiio noj Aivm .UVQIVJJj uuu H * VAw^vva to be taken on board.? "Just think of it!" he added, "a thousand miles this Yankee had swam! It was the most marvelous sight I ever saw in my life!" "Did ye really see him yerself, with your own eyes ?" said the Yankee, while his eyes twinkled merrily. "I'll take my Bible on it," answered the Cockney, with the utmost gravity. "I am glad o' that," exclaimed the Yankee, "very glad, indeed! That was me!" Outkageous.?The unknown or unusual has always great weight, and the Billingsgate fish-wife who was reduced to silence by hearing herself called a "parallelogram" showed a shrinking common to humanity. "Jim Farley's been callin' me names!" sobbed a little colored boy, coming home from school one day. "What did he call you?nigger?" asked the sympathizing mother. "No; wuss'n that." "Blackie?" "No." "Soot-bag? Ink-bottle?" "No, no!" "What was it, then ?" "He called me," sobbed the wretched boy, "he called me Ethiopian /" Irrefragable Ppoof.?"Mina, I am getting jealous of that man over there." Waitress?Nonsense, I scarcely spoke to him.

Sudden excitement, in particular, sometimes produces almost miraculous effects, so that the doer of an act can hardly believe afterward that he really accomplished it. In cool blood he might as well try to move a mountain. Mr. F. Y. Dabney, in "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War," gives an instance ol the efficacy of an encouraging word and example. The story is interesting also as setting in a favorable light one of the most famous of the Confederate generals. The incident occured on the morning after the battle of Williamsburg. Late in the preceding afternoon general orders had been issued by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, informing us of the intended retrogade movement on the next morning. Among the instructions was one to the effect that any gun caisson, or quartermaster or commissary wagon, which might become set in the mud so as to impede the line of march, must be destroyed at once. In other words, the road must be kept clear. The writer was a lieutenant in Snowden Andrews's battery of light artillery, and as such commanded one section of two funs, which, with their caissons, required teams of 6 horses each. One of the teams was notoriously weak, and when the gen eral orders were read, 1 became very anxious about it, especially as nothing is considered more humiliating to a battery than to have to part with a part of its equipment, no matter what the cause may be. "When the retreat commenced, therefore, I endeavored to keep all the men of my section well in hand, and ready to assist at a moment's notice. For (J miles north of Williamsburg the entire army was falling back over a single road, and as there had been frequent rains, this road was badly cut up, and the mud in many places was up to the axles of the guns. Finally my weak team balked, with the gun deep in a hole. Every effort was made by the driver to dislodge the gun. but without avail; and when I got to the wheels, with as many men as could be utilized, I found that the horses could not be made to work in concert. The whole line to the rear was at a dead stand-still, when I observed a party of mounted officers coming down the road from the front, and presently I recognized General Johnston at their head. We all were covered with mud and straining every muscle to extricate the gun, when the general, resplendent in uniform, white gauntlets and polished cavalry boots, rode up and halted Dy our side. I gave the military salute, and stood like a criminal awaiting sentence. To my surprise he remarked, in a very kindly tone: "Well, lieutenant, you seem to he in trouble." "Yes, sir," I replied, "and I am afraid we shall have to abandon the gun." "OK nn T wv>lrnn nnt! T.pt, me see what I can do." Thereupon he leaped from his horse, waded out into the raire, seized one of the wheel-spokes, covered as it was with mud, and called out: "Now, boys, all together!" The effect was magical, and the next moment the gun jumped clear of the mudfiole. After that our Tbattery used to swear by "Old Joe." WHAT A CHAP WITH HAWK EYES DID. One day, after the editor of The Weekly Banner had returned to the office from a trip around the village, he announced to me that the paper would suspend with that issue. I was an apprentice at two dollars per week and "found," and he was in debt to me and everybody else and could raise no more subscriptions or advertising. We were discussing the gloomy outlook when a young man with hawk ^yes and thin nose came bustling in. That he was down on his luck could easily be told at a glance, but that he was discouraged was not so clear. "I want two or three days' credit for a little printing," he promptly announced. "You can't have it!" growled the editor. The young man was turning away, seeming not at all discouraged, wnen the editor asked: "Who are you ?" ? A fakir ^ "What's'that?" "A man who travels and lives by his wits." "Well, you've hit the wrong town. You couldn't raise a quarter here in a week's talking. I've worked like a jackass for a year to establish this paper, and she busts this week." "My friend," said the stranger as he sat down, "let's go pards." "How ?" "You print me some labels and dodgers and I'll do the selling and we'll whack up." 14 What have you got ?" "A liver tonic." "No good." "Best thing in the world. How many people you got here?" "Twenty-five hundred." "Then I'll sell twelve hundred bottles of my South American Liver Invigorator at one dollar a bottle." After some further talk the editor agreed to the partnership. I went to the drug store and found one hundred bottles of a certain size. One thousand more were telegraphed for to come C. 0. D. We got up a label, got out 500 dodgers and the "Invigorator" was made at the editor's house. It was a mixture of water, molasses, ginger and whisky and cost about 4 cents a bottle. When all was ready the fakir went out on the street. I circulated the dodgers and the editor give him a page advertisement in what we thought would be the last issue. Can you guess what that chap did in in 17 days ? He made, bottled and sold 2,900 bottles of that 4'Invigorator," working two other villages besides our own. In the making and bottling he had three or four to help, but he did all the selling alone. Children cried for it, and old chaps who had forgotten that they ever had a liver bought 2 bottles and then came back for a third one. I saw $1,450 counted down on the imposing stone for our editor, and he very kindly handed me my back salary and a present of $50. It was a godsend to nim, for he squared up; the paper went on, and to-day it is one of tne liveliest small dailies in the State of Ohio.?Cincinnati Enquirer. EMPEROR AND MISER. One thing the Emperor Nicholas held in particular aversion, and that was avarice as a trait of wealthy people. He was once traveling with a rich gentleman whom he had often bantered"upon his meanness in money matters. In the journey the carriage broke down, and had to be left behind for repairs. The travelers went forward on foot, and presently came to a spot where the road was flooded to a considerable depth. The emperor called a road laborer, and asked if he would not carry hini through the water. "Why not?" said the laborer, and forthwith he took the monarch in his arms and conveyed him safely across. The emperor gave him two gold pieces, and whispered, "Now go and fetch the other gentleman, but when you have got half-way through the water, stand still and ask him how much he intends to give you." The man did as he was told, and in the middle of the water demanded how much he was to get for his labor. "You rascal," cried the miser, "the other gentleman paid for us both. I saw him, you impudeut swindler! You shall not have another farthing." "What does he offer?" called the emperor. "Says you paid for him, and he won't give a farthing," replied the laborer. "Then drop him into the water," said Nicholas. The man made a movement to obey, but his intended victim held on tightly and exclaimed, "I will give you three roubles!" "Ask three hundred," interposed the emperor, laughing; "he's well aule to pay it." "The terrified rider clung still more closely to his bearer, while he protested against such extortion. The emperor by gestures encouraged the man to remain firm. "Well," exclaimed the miser, at last, "carry me across. I will pay you when we get there." "Don't you trust him!" shouted the emperor, convulsed with laughter at the scene: "make him pay at once." And so it was done. The anxious traveler, still hanging over the water, took out his pocket-book and handed the countryman three hundred roubles.

SLEEPING ROOMS. In the most of our dwellings the important rooms, as far as the health of the inmates is concerned, are the kitchen and the sleeping room. In these two the mistress af the house who keeps no servant spends the largest part of her life; but it is to just these rooms that the least sanitary attention is commonly paid. We shall speak now only of the sleeping room. In this we all spend, or should spend, one-third of the day, the period designed by nature for repairing the wear of the physical and mental machinery. No greater mistake was ever made than to look on the time spent in sleep as wasted. We have improved upon such sleeping rooms as were not unusual a few generations ago; rooms forever unvisited by sunshine; rooms opening from the kitchen, so that the" spoiled air of the day was breathed over again by night; rooms in ow stifling garrets, or, worse still, mere rlosets, wholly cut olf from sunshine and "rom the pure outside air. But many housekeepers still need hints on the subject. 1. A sleeping room should never be a small one, dependent for most of its air on in open window. Such a room is seldom safe, and in certain states of the weather ;he air is sure to be shut off. 2. Few rooms are large enough not to equire continuous ventilation. The two sleepers are constantly vitiating the air. So air is pure which contains an excess of jarbonic acid, and at every breath a cer:ain amount of oxygen is converted into his poisonous gas. Think of twelve thousand such inspirations during the night! Moreover, each breath conveys with the arbonic acid and throws into the air, sffete matter thrown off by the lungs, tvhich is also poisonous. Nor is even this all. Millions of sweat ;ubes are all the time pouring their pollued waste into the room. Ventilation, it s evident, is a hygienic necessity. 3. Sunshine is essential to a good sleepng room. Sunshine is a powerful disinfectant, and every sleeping room needs to >e disinfected daily. Let the head of the amily appropriate the sunniest room ; the juest room, with its occasional occupant, s of secondary importance. 4. The sleeping room should be in an lpper story. As the night air cools, many if the diseases-producing particles sink to ;he lower strata. It is said that one may ive safely in a malarial region by avoiding the night air and sleeping above the ground floor. 5. The sleeping room should be not only me of the most spacious, but one of the iheeriest and neatest and best furnished ooms in the house. It should be emphatcally "the chamber of peace."?[Youth's Companion. RAISING PORK CHEAPLY. We need more grass and clover, and ess corn, upon which to make our pork. VIore grass and clover means cheaper growth and less disease. Just as the great ;orn and pork producing lands have been levelooed has swine disease sprung up ind increased because our swine are given t monotonous diet of dry, oily food. Grass tnd clover are the foods of nature, and the swine harvest them. They require littie ^reparation of the ground for them, and 10 cultivation. When pastured they build lp, rather than exhaust the land, and it jannot be successfully disputed that they ire essential factors in the production of she cheapest pork. Let the pigs farrowed n the Spring be put on grass and clover is soon as they are fit to be grazed, and cept on them as long as they are palatable ma the result will be a pig not fat, but in *ood condition and thrifty, that until Pall has large, healthy hones and muscle ind a vigorous appetite for corn. And :hen it may be fed corn largely, for this will put fat on the large frame the pasture las made, and the hog is vigorous enough jo digest the corn well; and if the hog is attea rapidly and marketed as soon as ally fat, it is the cheapest pork that can be made?the cheapest,.not counting loss from lisease. But swine plague rarely invades ;he pasture: its favorite place of appearmce is in the small lot paved witn cobs ind manure. The hog summered on grass ind clover is so vigorous that it rarely jickens when being fattened on corn largey, but also other food, and in clean quar:ers with pure water.?[American Agrijulturist.

JOHN SOFTSNAP IS WRITTEN UP By Mr. Hnrrass for $5,000?John Gets Sick of his Investment, and our old Friend Joe Gives him Some Good Advice Which Others May Proilt by if They Will. T HAD some news on the subject of life X insurance that I intended tellingyou this morning but it escaped my memory, and as it hasrecurrod to iny mind, \ just .thought I would drop in and toll you about it. Itillustrates the point you made last spring when you were explaining to me how people are deluded by the dividend feature in the 'old line' insurance companies. You know you said that the dividend business was a 'fraud and a delusion,' and then illustrated in a very forcible manner why you thought so." "I remember all about it, Joe, and have had no reason to change my opinion on the subject. Tell me about the incident to which you re fer." "You know John Soltsnap, of my neighborhood. You know he is pretty well fixed financially, and is looked upon as a very good business man. John's father left hiui quite a handsome ainountof property, and he has succeeded very well in its management and it has grown considerably. You remember I told you about Mr. Harruss, the agent for tho Kalamazoo, being at my house last spring and how he urged me to let him write uie a policy in his company ; and you kuow I did not do it, but joined the Legion of Honor instead. Well, Harrass went to seeSoftsnap and said his little lesson to him, and presented, in a very forcible manner, from his standpoint, the great advantage of taking out insurance in a company thatpaid 'dividends'. John did notestimatelhe cost of the thing, and finally agreed to let Harrass write him out a 95,000 policy, after having been examined by the doctor. He did not have the cash to spare to pay the first premium. I believe that is what tho old line companies call their levies, and Harrass took his w)te for the amount, payable the lirat of November. You know John is getting along in years. He is 49, and the premium at that age is heavy, as it is at other ages. Tho note was for 9232.00; but John signed it all tho same, and now comes the point to my story, and it shows how some people squirm after they lind they have been taken in and done for. John came to see mo while I was sick, and I told him about my joining the Legion of Honor, and how glad I was. He asked me about how much it cost mo a year, and all about how it was paid, etc. I gave him all the information I could, and I told hitn that he could carry $5,000 in the Legion of Honor for 9105.80 a year. He looked rather sold when I told him about it, and asked me whether or not I thought he could get rid of paying his Kalamazoo premium. I told him that I didn't see how he could, as they had his note and could make him dance. He then asked me what I thought of the idea of paying the 9232.00, and then d ropping the thing and going into the Legion of Honor. I told him I thought that was the proper course, and 1 expect he will join soon. rni ?

"Joe, you gave Softsnap the right kind of adyice, and he will appreciate your kindness. He is a good fellow, but ho will allow himself to bo victimized occasionally." "That's the size of it." "I saw a statement the other day that a Northern man who investigated the matter, says that the strongest old line companies are most extravagantly managed, and that they compel policy holders to pay four dollars for every dollar paid out for death losses, and their reserve funds are used to maintain outside corporations and sometimes applied to speculative purposes. These charges were published in a leading Now York paper, and, strange to say, the companies attacked have said never a word in their defenco. The natural conclusion is that they are true."

September 10 37 4t THE COR! Is The Best Farming Ii NO OTH [ it 11MKKT WILL DO ; Right Now Is tli THERE is no doubt of the fact that no farm- j ing implement lias ever been ollered to the farming world that has given such universal satisfaction as the COKBIN DISK HARROW. | It is used in every State and Territory and is iiuHrii'y ana eruuusiiisuwuiy enuurswi ity uvury farmer who has ever used it, and they are mim- : bered by thousands. Practical farmers every where agree that it is, WITHOUT EXCEP- I TION, the most profitable implement for culti- ' vating the soil and putting in grain yet in- 1 vented. It increases the crops, saves time, and j saves labor. The Harrow is made of tirst-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 over. The wheels or disks are made of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend* or crumble. The disks aro 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 (i. 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 evory kernel of grain in rows like a drill. I). The Corbin is uncqualed 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, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, I wrench or other tool is required to attach or 1 detach it. Ilalf 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 field in the best possible manner for seeding and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST-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. ?[C'has. Hardy, fJouverneur, N. Y. I have never seen anything to equal the work of the Corbin Disk Harrow. It will undoubtedly revolutionize our systom of farm ing.?[Rev. W. S. Johnson, Calhoun, Ga. The Disk Harrow is absolutely indispensable to a farmer who has once used it. Its value hh 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. H. The Corbin Disk Harrow fills 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. 1 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 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-five 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.?[E. N. Davidson, Lominack, Yorjc 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. f ?[R. E. Guthrie, Guthriesvilie, S. C. J I consider myself incompent to do the im- M Element justice. I consider the Corbin Disk [arrow is the most valuable farming imple- W ment I have ever used, or ever expect to use. V There is no implement of which I have any i 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 comDlnte 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 advantage in winter, spring, summer and fall. I consider myself incompetent to do the implement justice from an economical standpoint. ?[Win. 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 expense and in one-fifth the time as compared to the ordinary way ofsowinggrain. 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 mv friends any further information they may desire.?[R. H. Glenn, Yorkville, S. C. The above testimonials, from practical far- ^ mers 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.
