SATISFIED HER APPETITE.
An old man was walking to and fro in
front of a small frame house that stood
near the roadside. 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."

TO THE RESCUE.
Muscular strength is largely influenced
by mental condition. 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

Neatness and Dress at Home.?The
importance of neat and tasteful houseIressing
cannot be overestimated. The
natron who appears before the members
>f her family in a shabby, soiled wrapper,
ind makes the excuse, if indeed, she takes
he trouble to make one at all?that "?t is
so much more comfortable," has Lttle
dea of the possible consequences of such a
jourse. Could she but realize that her
Iress is an evil example to her daughters,
md one productive of consequences that
will reacn far beyond her own span of
life; that her husband and sons cannot
ail to draw comparisons between her dress
md that of the ladies they meet in other
lomes, and that these comparisons cannot
fail to decrease their respect for her, she
might be induced to give more attention
to ner personal appearance. Not even the
jurden of care and constant employment
jan furnish a sufficient excuse for careless
personal habits, for few things are more
important to the well-being of a family.
There is an old saying to the effect that
an untidy mother has disobedient chiliren;
and while neither parents or children
may realize the why nor wherefore
>f it, yet there is always a lack of respect
md an indifference to the authority of a
mother who takes no pride in her personal
appearance. And it is not the mother
done upon whose shoulders rest the burden
of responsibility for home neatness
md order in dress; the father has his duties
to look after as well, and should never
fail to insist upon the younger members of
the family presenting themselves with
well-kept hands, clean faces, neatly-brushed
hair and orderly dress at least at every
meal where the family assemble.?[Indies'

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 ? 'dl.asn in mtr noLrhl^Arh
iuurc aru aovoim umcia m ...j
who have taken out policies in the Kalamazooi
and who are thinking of doing the same thing.
They are convinced that the Legion of Honor
is thoroughly reliable, and they can see that
they are paying two prices for an article ol
doubtful value in the Kalamazoo."
"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."
"Well, I must start home. Good bye. I
will see you again and we'll talk insurance
some more."
"Joe, don't forget to send all who want to be
posted in regard to the Legion of Honor, to see

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.

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. I keep a few No. 7 12-dlsk harrows
on hand and can till orders promptly. I also
have SEEDER ATTACHMENTS on hand.
