A BEWITCHED BEDROOM.
"Sam Sly" tells bow a friend of his, an
inn-keeper, fond of practical jokes, handled
a young Scotchman who stopped at his house
last Christmas Eve. The guest was treated
with extreme hospitality. He was helped
to everything to excess; his glass was never
allowed for a minute to stand empty, and
the result of such potations was that "Sawney"
soon became more than "half seas
over," and hi this condition he was conducted
to his chamber, a lofty Gothic apartment
with a bedstead of dark mahogany, its four
posts extending completely to the ceiling of
the chamber. The bed, however, was not
more than two feet from the floor, the better,
to enable the party to get into it. The

"If my husband went in the baggage car

She managed to choke down her indignation
when told that no such change could be
effected, but later on, in the waiting-room,
she was giving her husband fits, and it was
probably because he was satisfied with the
rule of the road.?Detroit Free Press.
A Woman's Tact.?The New York Tribune
says the Rev. Dr. Clinton Locke, the
popular Episcopal clergyman of Chicago,
made a bad break the other day, but was
helped out by the quick wit of his wife. On
the day in question he saw a lady about to
call whom he was anxious not to meet. So
he said to his wife : "Now I'm off, my dear.
I'll run up stairs and escape until she goes
away." After about an hour, he quietly
tiptoed to the stairlanding, and listened. All
Mas quiet beloM\ Reassured, he began to
descend, and while doing so he thoughtlessly
but emphatically called out over the banister
: "Well, my dear, has the old bore gone
at last!" The next instant a voice from
below caused the cold perspiration to bedew
his ministerial brou' and rooted him to the
spot. There came a response which sounded
inexpressibly SM'eet to him just then. It
was the voice of his wife, who, with true
womanly tact, replied: "Yes darling, she
M-ent away over an hour ago; but here is
our good friend, Mrs. Blank, M'hom I am
sure you want to meet!"
MST It is not often that a lawyer receives
other recognition of his services in behalf of
a client than a retainer and a fee. The
feelings of most people nheu they get through
with a member of the legal fraternity is
more akin to sorrow than gratitude. A
Court street attorney has had a contrary experfefici*
One of his clients, an Irish woman,
who has been indicted several times,
but never convicted, for keeping a kitchen
bar room in the West End, dropped in on ;
him vesterdav with a Christmas cresent. It |
was a handsome silk muffler. "But you've
already paid me, Mary," said the lawyer.
"Niver mind, sor," she replied, "but tuck it
around your foine throat and kape your
tongue glib, for I may need them agin."
A Fallible Sort of Test.?Until recently
a grocer who does business at Bay
City, Mich., has tested the eggs offered him
by shaking. Under this rule, the other day
he rejected about half the "hen fruit" offered
him by an ancient granger of the vicinity.
The next morning the same farmer appeared
with another lot and the shaking test failed
to rattle a single egg. But the grocer was
rattled later on when a lady sent back a basket,
saying she wanted raw eggs and not
boiled ones. The honest farmer is still at
large. .

|6r This story is told on an office-seeker
who said: "A man can't stay long in Washington
without becoming an inventor."
"Why, how do you make that out? You
have been here over a month," said somebody,
"and you have not invented anything."
"That's all you know about it."
"Well, I'd just like to have you tell me what
you have invented?" "Well, sir, I hadn't
been here a month before I invented a plan
for fastening a paper collar to an undershirt."
A shabby-looking tramp was in the
habit of calling at the office of a local lawyer
and receiving a small sum on account of
former acquaintance. Last week the mendicant
called as usual, but the lawyer said : "I
can't assist you any longer, as I've got a wife
now, and need all the money I can lay my
hands on." "Well now, that's just coming
it a little too strong. Here you actually go
and get married at my expense," responded
the indignant tramp.
IA little girl was trying to tell her mother

after bidding him good-night and removing
the eandle, for fear of accident.
When the door was closed the host made
his other companions acquainted with the
structure of the bedstead, which he considered
his masterpiece, and a scheme by which
he expected to have "loads of fan." Upon
touching a spring ontside the door, the bed
was so acted upon by a pulley that it ascended
slow and smoothly through the four posts
until it came within two or three feet of the
ceiling.
The loud snoring of the guest was the
signal for touching the spring, and he was
soon at the proper altitude.
The servants had been instructed how to
act. In a moment the house was in an uproar,
and cries of "Fire! fire!" were heard
in different directions.
At this moment the guest was heard to.
foil and bellow out. Then a sudden silence
took place, every light was extinguished,
and the whole house seemed buried in the
most profound repose.
The guest continued to bawl, and at length
two of the men servants entered the room
with a candle, yawning as if jnst aroused
from their first sleep. They found Sawney
sprawling upon the floor.
"O, my dear sir, what is the matter with
you?" said one.
"Matter!" said he. "Why, isn't the house
oh fire ?"
"Bless you, sir, you must have been dreaming.
There isn't so much as a mouse stirring,
and the master and his whole family
have been asleep these three hours."
' The guest now gave up all credit in the
testimony of his own senses.
"I must ha' been dreaming, indeed, and
ha' hurt myself foiling out of bed.

The bed is so low it doeeen't seem possible
for of course ere this it had been made to descend
to its first level before the light had
been brought in.
The guest was quite dumbfouded, and
ashamed at having disturbed the family,
begged a thousand pardons, accompanied
the servants to the door, and closed it after
them, and was once more left in the dark.
But the last act of the pantomine was not
yet performed.^ The spring had been immediately
touched upon closing the door, and
the bed was soon beyond the reach of the
guest. He could be heard groping about and
muttering frequent ejaculations of astonishment.
He easily found the bedposts, but vain
was the endeavor he made to get in the bed:
He moved his hands np and down, his legs
was often lifted by way of stepping in, but
it always encountered the floor upon its descent.
He uttered exclamations of surprise,
not loud but deep, for fear of again disturbing
the family. IJe concluded himself to be
in the grip of some evil spirit. '
When it was found by his silence that He
had given up the task as hopeless, and had
disposed himself upon one of the chairs, the
bed was allowed to slide down again, and in
the morning Sawney could not but express
his astonishment at not being able to find it
in the dark.
Of course he has never told of the trick
that had been played on him, but the story
- is enjoyed by a pretty large circle of practical
jokers.
Wanted to Exchange.?A solid, sensible-looking
woman, who was bound east,
entered the baggage rooms of the Third
street depot leading a dog, and asked :
"Caa this dog go in the car with me ?"
"No, ma'am."
"Has he got to go in the baggage car ?"
"Yes'm." ,
"Is it extra ?"
"Fifty cents."
"Well, it's a shame ?"
"Yes'm, but its the rule."
She walked about for five minutes, the
dog smelling at her heels, and then returned

HOW TO CLEAN BLANKETS."
If bound with colored ribbons, rip them
off, and thus prevent the color from running
into the blankets while they are wet.
Prepare the following mixture in the forenoon
: Shave one pound bar and a half of
any good laundry soap into a thin small
shavings. Entirely melt it in a saucepan of
water on the fire. Strain the melted soap
through a colander into a tub half full of
lukewarm water. Add half a pound of
powdered borax and a tablespoonful of molasses.
Thoroughly stir the mixture; put in the
equal of one double blanket, and notice as
you do so where the stains are. Leave the
- - - * ?? a
blanket simply soaxmg, wen w*ereu ? who
nice soft suds, for nearly twenty-four hours.
Next morning look for the stains. If they
are not all soaked out, pat them and gently
wave them in the water, but never rub them.
Rubbing makes wool harsh like felt. When
the stains are gone, press what water you
easily can from them, and lift them into a
tub of clean rinsing water. Wave the
blankets in that till most of the suds is gone,
then put them into another rinsing water.
Sometimes two rinsings are enough to clear
them. If a third is needed it may be blued
a little, if one likes.
Have a strong clothes-lines stretched as
tight as possible out in the yard. Strong
sun is apt to fade the colored borders of
blankets, so choose a shady, breezy place to
dry them in. If you can take them out in
a tub, do so, otherwise lift them, saturated
with water into a basket, and carry them
full of water to the clothes-line. Hang
them exactly through the middle lengthwise
on the line; then* the colored iwrder of the
blanket will hang vertically. See that the
fold of the blanket lies over the line, else the
middle of the blanket will be found to dry
stretched longer than the edges. The
blankets after this process will be clean, soft
and not shrunken.?Good Housekeeping.
How to Take Care of a Piano.?With
proper care and attention a good piano
should last a lifetime. If this is not given it
the piano will in time become harsh and
"tin-panny," and afford little satisfaction or
delight to its owner. Ordinary practice,
whether by a child or a grown up person,
will not injure a piano in any way. It is
not necessary to be a professional piano
player and to know exactly with what force
to strike the keys in order to keep the instrument
in good condition.
Of course it will not be improved by
thumping the case or by striking the keys
with any hard substance. Neither does this
remark apply to schools and institutions
where playing is taught, and the instrument
is used continuously for ten or twelve hours
every day. In the latter case the felt portions
will wear out sooner than if it was
used in a private family.

and should never be entrusted to any
other than an experienced person. Incapable
tuners very often work irreparable injury
to the most perfect and costly instruments.
During the first year a new piano
should be tuned every three or four months
at least. After that it will only be necessary
to have it tuned at longer intervals.
Dampness is the most dangerous enemy
the piano has to contend against, and for
this reason the climate must be considered.
If the instrument is placed in a damp room,
or left open in a draught of air, the result
will be that the strings, tuning pins and the
various metal parts will become coated with
rust, and the cloth used in the construction
of the keys and action becomes swollen. It
is positively painful to play 011 such a piano.

What Onions are Here For.?When I
see a person habitually refuse onions at the
table from fastidiousness about their smell, I
am sorry for her and and for the camel that
is doomed to be swallowed by the one who
strains at a gnat. That this vegetable is
naturally relishing is shown in the constant
use made of it in soups, chowders, meat
dressings and compotes. If any do not like
onions, it will pay to cultivate me taste. 111
several countries of Europe, onions, with
bread, form a staple diet for the laboring people,
the two articles being a match in strengthgiving
qualities. Their virtues as a disinfectant
among the waste tissues of the inner man,
are too obvious to need more than a mention.
An all round argument lies in the
facts that Americans are the most nervous of
nations, and onions the best of nerve food.
| Allowing cellery as a nervine all the credit
| claimed for it, yet for cheapness and for bebeing
conveniently to be had at all seasons,
have much the advantage. Raw beef steak
and onions chopped almost to a pulp and
spread in sandwich fashion on slices of diet
bread, make an ideal food for convalescents
and for any one in feeble health.?The Sturdy

9&T Farmers, above all people, truthfully
| says The New Era, should avoid store accounts,
as a single crop failure is liable
to make such debt become very burdensome.
If ready money is not obtainable
the store account can often be avoided by
growing something which can be exchanged
through the season for such things as must
be bought. A little space and time devoted
to fruit or vegetables, to chickens, bees, etc.,
will often prove of much more value than
the mere amount of money derived from the
sale of the products, by enabling one to avoid
a debt. These things may be exchanged at
the store each week, in small quantities, answering
the same purpose as cash. A "onecrop"
fanner is almost always in debt for
three-fourths of the year. By a little attention
to small matters of this sort he would
be in a much more independent position, and
eventually find more profit in his work.
Removing Caterpillars' Nests.?The
caterpillars' nests should be removed from
the trees. The Country uentieman recommends
the following plan : "Take a suitable
pole, say ten feet long, and attach to the end
a coarse woolen cloth by winding it with a
twine so that it will not slip either way.
Take from one to two quarts of wood ashes,
pour on hot water and thus get a strong lye.
Take an old pail, turn in the lye, add one
pint or more of soft soap and stir well. It
is then ready for use, und I will warrant this
lye and soap to deal the death blow instantly
to all caterpillars by thrusting the saturated
swab straight into the nests. Put the jjole
and swab in a secure place for future use."
An Aid so Digestion.?Irregular feeding
of animals is extremely prevalent and
the results seem to call for some simple condiment
to repair the injury thus caused.
But in the common condition powders there
are some drugs whieh are useless, and some
that are worse. A very good hoine-made
mixture which will serve all purposes and is
free from all objectionable quality, is thus
prepared : One pound of linseed meal, eight
ounces of salt, two ounces of ground ginger,
and eight ounces of fine hickory-wood ashes.
A handful of this given twice a week will do
no harm under any circumstances, and will
relieve any ill results of simple indigestion of
the food.
Brassy Taste Means Bad Liver.?One
of the symptoms of a torpid liver is a brassy
taste in the mouth, indicating the presence
of cholesteriue. Another symptom is specks
before the eyes, and these specks are of
cholesterine deposited in the crystaline lens
of the eyes, where they intercept the rays of
light. JSometimes these specks Hoat about,
moving with each movement of the eyeball.
If these specks become very abundant they
form an impediment to vision.
To Remove Glass Stoppers.?Rub a
feather dipped in oil round the stopper, close
to the mouth of the bottle ; place the mouth
of the bottle to the tire, about two feet from it.
When warm, strike the bottle lightly on both
sides with some sort of wooden instrument,
and take out the stopper. Or, a cloth wet in
hot water, and applied to the bottle, will
cause the glass to expand, and the stopper
may be removed.
Ax Eyckm.ent Cement.?An excellent ce
ment for mending anything, unless some very
delicate article, may he made by mixing
litharge and glycerine to the consistency of
thick cream. In all cases the articles mended
should not be used until the cement is hardened,
which will usually require several days.
This cement is good for mending cracks in
stoves or iron kettles, for stopping leaks in
pans, mending jars; in fact it is good to mend
anything, as it resists the action of hot or cold
water, and almost any degree of heat.

A GOOD WIFE.
In order to fill the bill as a good wife, a
woman should possess certain qualifications,
and almost any man can tell you just what
these qualifications are.
In the first place, she should. be goodlooking.
It makes a man feel discouraged to
see a homely woman around his house, and
to feel that as time goes on she will be growing
plainer right along.
She must have a good temper. A man
does not want to be nagged. It makes
home distasteful to him, and he does not
feel as if he ought to be blamed if he fre
quents the public house and the club room.
No matter how cross and ill-natured he
may be, his wife must be sweet. "A soft
answier turneth away wrath," he says; ami
when a man quotes Scripture he has got you
fast.
If he is cross he has reason for it, he will
tell you. A man's life is full of cares and
perplexities, and all a woman has to do :is
just stay at home, and see to the house, and
look after the children and servants.
She must meet her husband with a smile,
this good wife of his, and no matter if she
has the headache, or the toothache, or the
oook has given notice; or her new dreBs is a
horrible misfit, or her next door neighbor
has got a more expensive set of parlor curtains
than she has, and has been in to tell
i her about them, she must smile all the same.
She musn't ask him troublesome questions
about the lodge meeting which kept
him last night till long past midnight, and
1 - ? omall nf nlntrnc aw K5a
I Kill' 111USII b UI1UU lilt OUllll Ml V1U 1 til mi uu, |
breath. Some men's breath have a natural
clove smell.
She must always be ready to find his hat
and gloves. Hats and gloves have a mania
for getting lost, and it takes a woman to?
find them every time.
No man living ever yet found any of his
dry goods, without first turning the house
upside down, and declaring that the thing
sought for was not in the house!
She must be delighted when any of his relatives
come to pay her a visit, and take the
privilege of prying into her domestic aflfliirs,
and of telling her that she jrill certainly
send "poor brother John" to the poor house,
if she keeps on using so much sugar, and
wasting so much coal!
She must bear with equanimity the said
John's allusions to "mother's flipjacks and
"mother's gingerbread," and she mustn't
feel hurt if he lays his dyspepsia to that cake
she had for supper last night.
She musn't mind it if he reads the newspaper
and rattles it, too, when her head
I aches "enough to split," instead of petting
j her and being distracted with anxiety as lie
used to be. A husband can't be expected j
to hold this way. It is too much of a strain, i
But if "his" head aches, she must be ready
with camphor, and bay rum, eau de cologne,
and smelling salts, and the fine comb., and
the electric hair brush, and she must banish
the children and muffle the door bell, and
attend to him, and if she steps into the back
yard for a minute to get breath, and: talk
over the last fashion book with her next
door neighbor, he feels bitterly wronged, and
thinks himself the most forbearing of men if
he does not apply for a divorce.
A good wife must be on the alert at all
times to sew on buttons. She must study
the science ot connr nanus. r?nemusi never
weary of trying to get his shirt sleeves
just right.
She must not wake him up in the night to
help her listen for burglars, and she must not
think of sending him down stairs to see if
the hack door is fastened, or to discover
whether or not the cat is shut up in the pantry.
The hack entry oil-cloth is as cold as
| the ice on the polar ocean, and he might
catch his death.
She must take her colicky baby where her
husband will not be disturbed by its crying.
It always did set his nerves on edge to hear
a buby cry, he will tell her, in the voice of a
man bitterly wronged and imposed upon.
There are a great many other qualities requisite
in a good wife, but of course everything
cannot be looked for in one woman,
and if you are a wife, and want your husband
to love you, try and l>e what we describe,
and he will quote you to his second wife as a
model of all the womanly and wifely graces.
- -Clara Augusta, in Saturday Night.
Courting One's Wife.?There is fur too
little courting done in this world.
The average young man acquits himself
fairly in this respect. He goes to see his
best girl with becoming frequency, and when
with her manages to lavish a sufficient
amount of tender and deferential consideration
upon her to satisfy her natural and
praiseworthy demands for that sort of thing.
The young man must stand acquitted, therefore.
But the married man, and especially the
middle aged married man, is usually very
derelict. He does no courting at all, though
he is under special obligations to do a leal of
it, very persistently. He has pledged himself
in marriage to make one sweetheart aappy, j
and he knows perfectly that the essential
condition of every good woman's is that she
shall be courted with a good deal of regularity.
The married man does not mean to neg- j
lect his duty. He cherishes the wife of his
youth with a tenderness far deeper than any
that he felt for her in the salad days of their
wooing. But he is busy, pre-occupied, comfortable,
and he feels a calm assurance and
satisfaction in the affection which he expects
her to feel in her turn. He takes these
things for granted in his man's way, and
expects his wife to take them for granted,
too, forgetting that is not the woman's way.
The best thing a married man can do is to
| court his wife, to treat her with all the attentiveness
of courtesy which he showed her
before marriage, to consider her in small
things as he does in large ones, to minister
in a thousand little, scarcely noticeable,
ways to her woman-nature. So shall he
make her happy, which, if he be at all a wellconstituted
man, is what he most wants to
do.?New York World.
Man in the Bible.?Perhaps some of our
I good sisters, who are inclined to be jealous of
the alleged supremacy of man, may find comfort
in the following little dialogue:
Wife?"The Bible says much in favor of
women, John. I thought that the Israelites
kept their women in the back ground, but if
they did, the Bible, which is their history,
| doesn't."
Husband?"Humph ! The Israelites did
I well by keeping their women in the background,
that's where women should be."
Wife?"But still the Bible says that"?
Husband?"Oh, I know there are a few
women mentioned in the Bible?there was
I . olm n'ou >i ii'nmmi "
I 1/tV.CUCI J niiv tt uo It
I Wife?"Oh, I know there was Ahub, lie
I was a man. And there was."?
Husband?"Its no use talking, Mary. The
j Bible is a history of men. Women are mentioned
only incidentally as they had influence
on the actions of men. The Book says
I little about women compared what it does
| about men!"
Wife (musingly)--"You may be right, John,
| now when I come to think of it. There is
one thing, at any rate, it says about men that
j it does not say about women."
! Husband (smilingly)?"1 thought you
would come to your senses, Mary. What is
' it the book says about men that it docs not
say about women ?"
Wife?"It says all men are liars."
Then the husband arose and put on his hat
and went out to see what kind of a night it
was.?The Voice.
Darkness for the Sick.?A more injurious
pact ice really could not be maintained
than that of darkness in the sick room. It
is not only that dirt and disorder are the rei
suits of darkness, a great remedy is lost.
Sunlight is the remedy lost, ami the loss is
momentous. Sunlight diffused through a
room warms and clarities the air. It has a
direct influence on the minute organic poisons,
a distinctive influence which is most
precious, and it has a cheerful effect upon
the mind. The sick should never he gloomy,
and in the presence of light the shadows of
gloom fly away. Happily, the hospital ward,
notwithstanding its many defects, and it has
many, is so far favored that it is messed wun
the light of the sun whenever it shines. In
private practice the same remedy ought to
he extended to the patients of the household,
and the first words of the physician or
surgeon on entering the dark sick room,
should he the dying words of (ioethe, "More
light, more light!"?I)r. II. W. Richardson.
firtT" The haughty pirdeof a haughty Indian
chief is all bosh. From old Red Cloud down
to the lowest sub-chief they will beg, borrow
and steal, and a plug oftoliaeeo thrown into
the mud will result in a scramble like dogs
after a bone. They brag and boast, hut have
110 real pride. |
DO YOU
-J - .
WANT IT ?
IT is our purpose to make another change in
our already very liberal offers to club makers,
and we are convinced that the change will meet
with the approval of the friends of Thk EnQriRER.
If is now little a more than one month
until the clubs will close for the present season,
and as an inducement to club makers to put iti
some extra good work during that time, we have
decided to offer a special premium to the person
who returns and pays for the largest number of
subscribers,
EITHER OLD OR NEW,
Between this date, FEBRUARY 4, and MARCH
9, at 1 p. in. The premium we offer is one
FIVE DRAWER IM PROVED SINGER SE WTXT/-1
Xf A CWTVW An nppurAte dosCriDtion Of
1?U .
tide machine will be found In another column, and
the machine is everything that it is represented
to be.
This premium is offered INDEPENDENT of
all other premiums, and if on the 9th of March it
is found that the person who lias returned and
jjaid for the largest number of subscribers between
now and that date, has also returned the
largest number since our prospectus was issued
on the 29th of October, that person will receive,
in addition to the Sewing Machine, the first
premium of
$50 IN CASH.
If the person who is entitled to the Machine is
found to have returned and paid for the second
largest list since October 29, that person will, in
addition to the Machine, be entitled to tho second
premium of
JS30 IN CASH,
And if the person who is entitled to the Machine
in found to have returned and paid for the third
largest list of subscribers since October 29, that
person will, In addition to the machine, receive
the third premium of
$20 IN CASH.
i If the person who is found to be entitled to the
special premium shall have returned SIXTY or
more subneribers since October 2?, including
those for which he receives this premium, but
| fails to Yeceive either of the cash premiums, he
will be entitled to ANOTHER MACHINE, and
if THIRT Y or more to a Machine and a WATCH.
It will be seen that club makers run no risk in
working for this extra premium. We are satisfied
that there is still room for effective work
j along this line, and we trust thnt club makers
i will put in the best work of the season during
I the next THIRTY DAYS, and we hope that
new workers will enter the field in competition
for this premium, as they will be on an
equal footing with old club makers, and it is well
worth all the effort that will l>e necessary to
secure it. Remember that
EITHER OLD OR NEW
Subcribers count just filename in competition for
this special premium.

NO OTHER IMPLEMENT WILL DO
Right Now Is TI
THERE is no doubt of the fact tiiat no farming
implement has ever been offered to the fanning
world that has given such universal satisfaction
as the CORBIN DISK HARROW. It is
used in every State and Territory and is heartily
and enthusiastically endorsed by every fanner
who has ever used ft, and they are numbered by
thousands. Practical fanners 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 lalior.
The Harrow is made of first-class material
throughout, and with proper care will do good
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will piy
for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks
are made of the very best of steel, and will neither
break, bend or cnimble. 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 (L e. one that will udapt itself to uneven
surfaces).
2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are
independent of each other?either can lit 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 Harrow 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.
. 6. The Corbin is unequaled for lightness of
draft and power as a pulverizer.

The Harrow With Seeder Attariuneit.
Every Corbin Harrow, whateverthe 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 lion.
Its weight is (of the size to fit the No. 7,12-disk
1 Harrow) about eighty pounds.
I The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleas|
ure. 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, wrench or other tool
is required to attach or detach it. Half a minute
of time will remove and one minute replace it.
The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about
half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It
will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it better,
and place it at any depth in the ground. It
is two complete implements in one. It prepares
the field in the best possible manner for seeding
and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST
PROOF OATS capitally.
The St. Lawrence M'r'g 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 1016-inch disks and 6-foot cut.
I keep a few No. 7 12-disk Harrows on hand and
can fill orders promptly.,
I am sole agent for the St. Lawrence MTg Co.
for York, Chester, Fairfield and Lancaster coun- ties,
S. C., and Mecklenburg county, N. C.
I am prepared to quote unusually low prices
and liberal terms. Call on or write to me at
