Wmmw fjepatttMuf. a f ? ' * j 1-''ODD BITS FROM BABY LIPS. Stories of infantile wit and humor are so I popular nowadays, the New York Tribune 1 is prompted to give the following: Little Harry, three years old, was informed j by his mother that his aunt and little cousin were on the steamer homeward bound from ] England, and that he ought to ask for their safety in his prayers. Accordingly, he in- } eluded them nightly in his childish petitions, until they at length arrived. The evening after their return he said his prayers, as usual, at his mother's knee. He paused a moment, and then she was astonished to 1 hear: "And, O Dawd, you needn't bother any 1 more about aunt Fanny and little Joe. They ' dot here all right." A certain mother in a Rhode Island city < selected an inauspicious Sunday to take her < small boy to church for the first time. It happened to be a communion service, and ] the last comer was deeply interested in all , that occurred. At length he exclaimed, in an audible and delighted whisper, "Mamma, ( mamma, they're going to pass the cake, ain't , they ?" The oldest son of a Harlem household had been to Europe for an extended trip, and on his return, a small brother, four years old, followed him about with open-eyed and open-eared admiration. There was a family ( dinner to commemorate the young fellow's return, and the four-year-old appeared at the table for a moment on his way to bed. 1 He was as bashAil as children usually are at i such times, until suddenly he said, "Pa, is damn a French word?" . ( "No, my child," said the horrified parent. i "You must never say that again." "Well," rejoined the unterrified infant, "Brother Charley says it's French for 'Oh, my,' and he always says it when he puts on his collar." Brother Charley's sentiment toward his youthful relative can be better imagined than described. Greater infantile acumen, however, was displayed by the small boy in a suburban town, who swallowed a penny. "Kitty," called his alarmed mother to her sister in the next room, "send for the doctor; Willie has swallowed a penny!" "No, mamma," interposed the terrified and frightened victim ; "send for the minister." "Why ?" faltered his mother. "Because papa says our minister can get money out of anybody." HIS WATCH WAS RIGHT. He was a fierce-looking, yellow-bearded son of the soil, and he drove up to the little afofinn in a riilanidated old waaron wuuwj ovh??vm mmm. m ? ? behind a still more dilapidated horse. He had two passenger for the mail train. The station agent was on the platform. ' "Guess you're late," he remarked, cheerfully. "Train hain't gone, has it ?" anxiously inquired the rustic. "Twenty minutes ago, and late at that." "Wall, I'll be duned! I sot my watch by 1 Bill Rogers, and he sot his by Joe Collins, and Joe said his was railroad time. Ain't I right?" and he held out an antiquated turn- ] ip to the gaze of his audience. The agent 1 assured him that he was approximately correct. "Now, look here," pursued the excited granger, "the last time I was down here you : told me that the train went at a quarter past one, and here it is past ten and the train's gone 1" The agent tried to persuade him that he was mistaken, but he persisted, and grew more and more wrathy. "When did I tell you that?" the agent ventured, finally. "Wall, let's see, it was about the time my daughter Lucindy got married; couldn't been longer than three years ago, I'm dead sure." The agent tried to explain to him that railroads sometimes found it convenient to change their schedule from time to time, but the agriculturalist was not pacified, and muttered, as he gathered up the lines: UI claim that the railroad hadn't oughter change its time 'thout letting folks know. But 'tain't no use to do nothing agin one of them bloody corporations." Waiting.?A Western widow owns and occupies a cottage under the shadow of a church steeple which is supposed to be in danger of falling when a high wind blows. At midnight, a few nights ago, when the wind blew fiercely, she got up and dressed, called the children up, and dressed them, and then folded her arms, with the remark: "Now, then, if that steeple falls and kills us, people will know that we were a respectable family anyhow. George, you brush up your hair a little more, and Sarah, you take your feet off the stove-hearth, and pin your collar more to the left!" a?-Abuer Stone had lived "inland" all his days,and ;knew all there was to be known about pork and beef as articles of food. His acquaintance with the products of the sea, on the other hand, was very slight. Once, however, when at the seashore, he was introduced to shad, and asked how he liked it. "**r-n ??

I should like to know why Sallie Jones is always at the head of her class and you are always at the foot." Mollie hesitated for a moment, and then, looking her mother squarely in the face said, demurely, "You seem to forget, mamma, that Sallie Jones had very clever parents?" A French Lie-Fight.?"Fancy X. is so fat that he has not seen his feet for the last ten years." "Nothing extraordinary in that. I know a student that is so tall that he has to climb on a ladder to take off bis hat." "That's noting at all. I have a cousin whose legs are so long that when he catches cold on the 1st of January, he does not begin sneezing till the 24th or 25th of the same month." iSf In a battle our army was, atone point, closely pressed by the enemy, and as the general was riding about encouraging the men, he espied an Irishman running away. "Surely, Pat, you're never running away from the enemy?" Pat replied, "Faith, gineral, they tell me the world's round, so I am running round the world to attack the enemy in the rear!" "If you lost the nomination because you refused to buy the delegates," observed the sympathising friend, "you have nothing to reproach yourself with. You did right to refuse, and it is better to be right than to be president." "Yes, I know," said the disappointed aspirant, "but it hurts like thunder to be right and then get left." I?-A chemist in Albany, expatiating on the late discoveries in chemical science, observed that snow had been found to possess a considerable degree of heat, whereupon an -1J 1-1- -1 J nkamictr,, out muy uuHcrvciij uiav uuij vuvujiovij was a vaiuable science," and anxious that the discovery might be made profitable, inquired of the professor what number of snowballs would be sufficient to boil a tea-kettle. IST There was an old lady in New England once who was wont to say that she never "felt so happy as when she could sit right down in all her misery and enjoy it." This same lugubrious old female, when she was told that there was no such thing as eternal punishment, no literal hell, expressed her disgust, saying she had hoped for better things." tST "I see by that sign," said the man in the chair to the barber, "that you hone razors for private use." "Yes sif. Have you some that you want honed ?" "No, but I was wondering why you didn't hone the razors you use on your customers." VST Fashionable Wife?Did you notice, dear, at the party last evening how grandly our daughter, Clara, swept into the room?

This will ft e the grass plants a good opportunity to well established before cold, freezing , ither sets in. The better the growth in . j fall the better able the plants will he to rj hstand the winter, hence the importance jetting a good stand in the fall. But so ch depends upon the season and the con- ^ on of the soil that no set time can be en as being the best. One year it may ~ t to sow in the first week in September, * ile another year it will best to delay even 1 lie latter part of the month. j'. t is only in exceptional cases that it can considered best to sow grass or small ^ in seed Unless there is enough moisture ;be soil to insure a good germination of r| seed. Of course, under favorable con- j is, seed will often remain in the ground is a considerable time without germinating ^ I yet grow later on, but in nearly all es there is more or less loss of vitality ^ en this happens. It is, therefore nearly rays best to delay the seeding until the . j iditions are such that a good germina- ^ i and growth can be secured from the p ?are should be taken to have the soil well spared. With all seeds this is important? securing good germination, and the small- ' ar finer the seeds the more the necessity thorough preparation. Whether sown ne, or on the winter wheat, use plenty of d, and be sure it is of good quality. One ^ the most important items in growing a ifitable crop of hay is to have a good, ^ sn stand of grass, and this cannot be se- j ed unless plenty of seed is distributed . snly over the surface. If sown with wheat i broadcast grass seeding attachment can used, and this will distribute the seed ^ re evenly than can be done by hand, g , if sown alone, a broadcast seeder can be ^ id to good advantage. With the soil aldy well prepared the seeding can be done ^ y rapidly, so that if only a reasonably ^ ge acreage is to be sown there is no neces{ to sow until the conditions are favora- ^ Clover and orchard grass make a good ? Kture to sow together for meadows. In tj ting grasses for meadows, it is important to a i such varieties as ripen at about the same le; otherwise a part of the crop will need to sut too green or part too ripe. For pastures, >vever, it is an item to have a large num of varieties that mature at different p ' * ?i r les in order 10 Keep up a suppiy ui gruss long as possible. One advantage in sow- ^ ; grass seed with clover is that it helps to c ;p the clover from falliug down so badly, n 1 this is in some seasons quite an item.? rmer. 1 " ' r liVhat to Do With Non-Heading Cab- g ge.?Last autumn I was mourning over unusual number of half-developed cables, which were only fit to be fed to cows, 1 mentioned the fact to a Duchess county mer, who is in business in New York, and ' i lately bought a furm near us, asking if crop had turned out badly. His answer s that he had no more soft heads than he b nted, or to the effect that he would feel c appointed if he had not a considerable ^ mber. Now, we neither of us raise cab- e ;es for market, but for our own consump- r n mainly, and I was utterly at a loss to v ow what he could do with a quarter of 1 crop that failed to make heads. He told me that he dug a wide trench, so 8 ?p that after some top soil was thrown in, c could set the cabbages out in the trench e close as they could stand, and their heads ^ uld not come up level with the top of the b lund. When planted, he covers the trench c ih boards and some brush, corn-stalks, 8 t-hay, and earth ou the top, keeping it n jn at the ends or elsewhere until cold & ather, and then covering it in close. He J1 d they would have firm, solid heads in 8 s spring. [ tried it, at the time I write (April) we c ! enjoying the best cabbage we ever ate. * ey are small to be marketable, say 4A to ? uches in diameter, solid and sound, crisp " 3 tender, and as delicate as cauliflower, u 3 what is most remarkable, I never know * len we are going to have cabbage for din- v p until I see it upon the table. The great- d objection I have to this most wholesome d delicious vegetable is, that it usually ^ s the house with its perfectly detestable 0 3r, so to have cabbage without this draw- F jk is worth all the trouble that it costs. 1 these winter headed cabbages could once r :ome known in. the market, I am confident ^ sir merits would command for them a I idy sale all through the spring. The cab- F ;es in market at this season are pretty a 5r. They are very apt to be slightly de- P ped, will keep but a little while, as they 8 It at once and soon rot. I wish I had F )ugh to test the market with, but I have 1 t, and write this in the hope that some3y will do it next year. 11 , m , 1< ECONOMIC WEIGHT OF A HOG. 1 A writer in The Inter-Ocean says that a g ;at majority of the fanners, in fattening j, ;s, adhere to the notion so often expressed 'hen you get a hog a-going, keep him at p is long as possible." This means practi- s ly that a hog should be fed to a large ight. Experiment made for the purpose of demining the economic weight of a hog o >w conclusively that he should never be t d beyond eight or nine months of age, b 3 that the largest profit is found, as a rule, a a weight not to exceed 200 pounds, b hat is known as the food of support plays a 'ery important part in the prolit or loss I h large weights. Suppose, as many farm- i t i say, that a resolution is made to turn ! v i hog when he reaches 300 pounds. He j a ist take from his food an increasing! a louut each day to support the weight al- t idy gained, or else he drops hack. The j. rman experiments indicate that 2 per t it. of the live weight in food must be i :en each day to support that liye weight, t the hog weighs 300 pounds, this amounts n G pounds of food daily. The only profit! c in the food that is applied to make new 11 ight. A recent pig-feeding experiment at i j. } Maiue station illustrates this principle I h cellently. The pigs were taken at agesj i iging from 5 weeks to 8 weeks. During jr i first hundred days of the experiment t t far from two pounds of digestible, food i t] iduced one pound of growth, while during ii i last fifty days the ratio was four pounds a digestible food to one growth. I v Every pound of pork made during the I f> t fifty days cost double in expense of food t that made in the first one hundred days. E rhe lesson taught by this principle is ictically stated that the most money can e made from young hogs turned at a medi- c l weight. j t j.v riiK Disposal ok Wkkds.?Weeds are t rsistent foes of crops, and much of the la- 1' r expended on the lields consists in dc-jb oying weeds. In the nature of things' <1 ;y cannot be wholly extirpated, but they j v 1 be reduced to a minimum by repeated v isonable cultivation. Many of our most r ublesome weeds can be greatly lessened in sir number by preventing their propagation j m their seeds. Burying useless vegetation v the soil by ploughing it under is sometimes 11 vocated in preference to burning it on the j t >und that in the former case all of itsfer-' j: zing elements are preserved, while in the 1 j: ter a portion is lost. Circumstances alter , t ;es, and each farmer should determine for i h nself from the nature of the stuff wheth- a to burn it or bury it in the soil. At this j n ison the greatest care should be taken to t ;vent weeds not only in the fields but in J t ; fence corners and out of the way places 1 f m maturing their seeds, for unless they : r ; cut down at an early stage, weeds may ' n expected to follow.

On nil p ins there is a large amount of rubbish and 1 ii actable matter which should be cleared v and raked together in the fall, and as a ; b leral rule it will in the end be found more ' ifitablc to burn it than to permit it to de-! ; in that state. In the burning both the ; t ds of weeds and the eggs of insects will ! e destroyed, hut the remains of farm crops, y iccially of leguminous plants, should lie in-! <] porated in the soil without burning. \ h ;o aT Lime-water has a tendency to make; o ldren grow, and in countries where the li nking-water is heavily impregnated with i v the men are upt to be tall.

CONTRACTS BY CORRESPONDENCE. * A3 a first requisite to the forming of a val- . 1 I contract, there must be a meeting of finds of the parties thereto. An ofTer can COi e revoked before its acceptance, but after by tie acceptance the offer becomes a promise, bei 'he time of acceptance of the offer is the in< loment of the meeting of minds. It is not its difficult thing to determine this moment in siz le case of contracts made in the presence ? f both parties, but the question becomes difcult and very important when the offer and cceptance arc made by letter, telegram, lessenger, or otherwise. At what moment i the contract consummated ? Is it the molent of the posting of the answer or the sceipt of same ? Is it the moment the meslge is started on its way, or the moment it ;aches and is communicated to the offerer ? n general a communication of an acceptance i necessary to a forming of a contract. Is iiis essential requisite complied with when ie party to whom the offer is made does all ~ ??? Ti!o ononntnnPA (urlioflinr if, C unu lu UUUTVl Alto yn mvvuv> .? ver reaches its destination or not) or must ne acceptance have reached its destination efore it can have the effect of binding the arties ? It is now decided that the acceptance is lade when the acceptor has done ail that he an to communicate his intention. The molent, then, of dispatch of acceptance, is lie moment the contract has its beginning, j,/ nd once having dispatched the acceptance Ko i irrevocable. It is understood that one inking an offer by letter is making that offer ~ ontinuously during every instant of time "I tie letter is traveling, so that if the letter is elayed in transit, and on its receipt a letter i at once posted accepting the offer, the ontract is complete, even though in the leantime the party offering may have sold be goods which were the basis of the Offer, uppose the letter of acceptance be lost and oes not roach the party offering; is there a ontract? The logical result of the position liat the contract is made when the accep- p nice is posted, leads us to infer that the ^ uestion demands an affirmative answer, and _ ucli is the law. The settled rule in our ourts is that the time of mailing the accep- Lv ance is the time the contract is complete, and Lv lie subsequent fate of the letter is immateri1. . This is so on the theory that the post lv fBce is the agent of the person who makes n offer by post, and the delivery of the letter Ar o the post is the delivery to the agent of the ?v erson making the offer. i,v Suppose that a letter revoking the propoal is mailed before the acceptance is mailed, lv his does not affect the result unless the revo- pv ation is received before the acceptance is nailed.

ANECDOTE OF LORENZO DOW. Lv IjV A farmer came to Lorenzo Dow one morn- i,v ig as lie was preparing to preach before a Lv irge country audience, and said : Lv "Mr. Dow, I am told you know a sinner L* y his looks, and can tell a thief from his lv ountenance. Now, sir, I have had an excel- ?r jnt axe stolen from me, and I shall be for- lv ver grateful if you will point out to me the Lv ascal who took it, as in all probability he Ar rill be at your meeting to day, judging from Ar he crowd that is coming." Ar Lorenzo was not the man to deny the pos- essiou of any wonderful faculty that people * hose to ascribe to him, so he told the farmr he would get his axe. Lorenzo mounted xe he pulpit, took out of his pocket a stone as ig as his fist, laid it beside the Bible and [ ommenced the exercises of the day. His Wi ermon was on the subject of all the sins an lentioned in the decalogue, and he went on no 0 give proofs from history of the retributive tlr Listice of Providence in punishing transgres- va ions in this life. h.

They have either a church or home w /edding, with all their friends around them, H<J nd start out in their married life in an open j " bove-board manner, which, even though! he future years may bring much of sorrow, j i the only correct way to begin a venture i hat is for life. When couples elope it is their excuse that i hey loved each other so much that they saw j 10 use iu living apart any longer. Hardly i ver has the groom enough to more than pay j he minister, and nine times out of ten his ; ;reat love is for the prospective future of the | ride, who is a young thing believing implicit- j y iu his vows of love, and thinking it a very j omantic thing to defy parents and friends by i bus beginning her married life by an act of ieceit. There is not so much romance about j t when the necessaries of life seem far more ' niattainahle than did the luxuries when she | ras in her own home, and too frequently the : ;reat love that prompted the hasty step' nrno hittprnpsu hpfnrp Hip first, VCRl" of! narrie<l life ha# elapsed. Now a marriage purely for money, whetli-; r 011 the bride or groom's part, is a commcr-1 inl transaction thoroughly despicable in} he eyes of any right-mimied man or woman, et many such have proved more happy | ban the one which started out in the' ove of two young hearts with no financial; nicking, "When poverty comes in at the | loor, love flics out of the window," sounds. rery cynical, but there can be no sentimentJ rhen there is no steak, no romance without | oast beef. BST This world is full of deluded mortals I rho fancy honor and success will come to ' hem if they do but possess sufficient fortiude to wait. Hut this waiting quality will rove a very poor factor in solving the bard troblem of success. Remember the trite but rue saying that "neither birth, rank nor! ?tate constitute success in life?but get up .ml get." The road to any goal, be what it! nay, is not a flowery one through which the 1 ravcler leisurely journeys, encouraged by i he cheers of approving friends. It will be mind, on the contrary, to be exceedingly ougli and bleak, enlivened only by the nany who have made feeble but unsuccessul efforts, and who now earnestly admonish ' ou to "turnback." He of trood cheer and ircss on, notwithstanding their disheartenng words, lor since the world began, those ; rho can't catch on have ever cried "lick ichind." 1 Thk Hoots ok Tricks.?The roots of a ~ rec do not cover the same area beneath the arth as they do above.

HE CORBIN fj DISK HARROW. is the Best Labor Saving Fanning Im- * ilement in the World, and Will do If ore to Inorease Crops and Bsduce Cost of Production than any Farming Implement Ever Introduced L Disk Harrow during the past three years in ) columns of Thk Enquirkr. Ifitwasanyng else than what is claimed for it, the peo1 would long ago have branded it as a fraud, t instead of being denounced it is endorsed and 4 ommended as tne greatest money saver and ip increaser ever introduced in this section by 3ry farmer who has tested it, and there are ires of them. The following testimonials from 11 known farmers should, we think, be sufient to convince even those who do not want be convinced. Read and then act: ^ Chester, 8. C, March 27, 1890. ax M. ORlst, Yorkvllle, 8. C.: Dear Sir: I have ned a Corbin Disk Harrow for several years, and isider it the most useful and economical forming plcraent of which I have any knowledge. Mr. bin has done more for the former than all the itlcians, reformers, etc., combined. He has done netblng practical. No former can foil to be beneed by tne use of the Harrow, and the more it Is d the greater the benefit or profit. It is almost the ly so-called improved forming implement that I re ever seen that would do all Its manufocturers Imed for it, and the only one that would do more, ery former should have one and a man who Is able Juy fertilizers for bis land Is more able to buy a rbln Disk Harrow. The time will come when the rbln Disk Harrow will be considered as much of a -jessity on the form as the wagon, sewing machine, iking stove, and I might say, the plow; and the ner it comes the better for the former. It only :es a former, who has been accustomed to the old y of doing things, about one hour to realize how ich time and labor he has literally wasted before used the Corbin Harrow. In conclusion, let me ' that I would not pretend to form without it. Respectfully, W.. Holmes Hardik. Ghovkr, N. C., May 15,1891. fr. 8a* M. Grist, Yorkville, 8. C.: Dear Sir:?i lght a No. 7 Corbin Disk Harrow from you last iober. The first time I saw it I pronounced it "a By." Now I pronounce it indispensable, would not sell it for double what it cost If I could I get another. I sowed all my wheat with It and it re entire satlsfoctlon. 'he best prepared piece of land I ever saw was a ce of stubble bottom land turned last winter with Oliver chilled plow and cut this spring with the rbln Harrow. also tried it on stubble land bottom that had not >n broken and H was a success. It is actually the it forming implement I ever saw. With two mules d one hand I can do more work, and better work, in four mules and four hands In the old way. Hods and baked ground would soon be a thing of i past if formers would all use the Corbin Disk irrow to pulverize the land. To see one at work Is -? Relent to convince the most skeptical that it whl all that is claimed for It, >"? "W trrav hMiUS fiirmpr who maw me hivrrowlnsr r Htubble that hod not been broke said, "I thought won ail talk about that harrow, but It will do." lother farmer, and a good one too, Mid, "It beat* < ything I ever saw, and I Vant one to now my wheat fhthts foil." Liter such a winter and spring on we have Just wed through, and the formers are all behind with ;lr work, nothing saves tlmeand labor like a Corbln <k Harrow. Respectfully, C. C. Hughes. Yorkville, 8. C., January 11,1802. lA* M. Grist, Yorkville, 8. C.: Dear Sir:?About i first of September I was induced to try one of your rbin Disk Harrows. I have given it a folr trial, and l say without fear of contradiction that It has no ml as a forming implement. I have sowed my ieat and oats crops with it, and I am ratisfled it s done at for less expense than the same sice crop s ever before put In on the county form, and better. I that is necessary on cotton stalk land is to rip up ; stalks, sow the wheat or oats on the ground, ana i) the harrow over it. I can lake a disk narrow and 0 strong mules and sow six to eight acres of wheat oats in a day. Now Just think what a saving of tie and labor this is?the work of at least six mules fs d six hands by the plan commonly pursued by our mersl Another point in fovor of the harrow Is Is: You can take almost any kind of lmprovod nilng implement, and in order to succeed with it u must have your land in apple pie order, while th the Corbln Harrow the rougher the land the tter the work it does?it asks no fovors. I have a at deal of wire grass on the Poor House form and 1 sure tliat by running the harrow over it about ice, I will have it in a shape that it willgiveme more trouble. It will put stiff bottom land in a ipe that It can be worked without difficulty. want to say to the formers who may read this, that u are standing in your own light when you foil to y or even postpone buying a Corbln Harrow. It II pay for itself over and over again every year. I iuld not undertake to form without it, since I have nied its value, for three times its cost. n regard to the Seeder Attachment, I will say that f * - - ?-? -J U I--II l?

C.: Dear Sir?I ught a No. 7 Corbin Disk Harrow from you in Oojer, 1889. I was delighted with it the first time I ed it. I now consider it an indispensable imple- ?"~ snt on the form. No farmer who looks after his own terest can atford to be without it To give an idea its value at this time, when every former is so for hind with his work, I will say that I can take my irrow, with one hund and four mules, and put 300 400 pounds weight on the Harrow, and break eight nwof corn-stalk, cotton-stalk or stubble land in one y, and prepare It deeper and better in every way an can be done with eight mules and eight hunds the ordinary way. (I nave a weight box on my irrow. It is the length of the beam, and is 9 Indies de at the bottom. 11 at the top, and ubout 10 Inches ep. It is fastened on to the beam with bolts.] Last spring I plowed up my cotton stalks, and with e Disk Harrow und two mules, cut up the stalks d pulverized my land to the depth of five Inches at e same operation, and at the rate ofan acre an hour. IV heat and oats can be put in with it much better an in the ordinary way. One liund and two mules all thnt is necessary to put in eight to ten acres a fiie best prepared land I have ever had was a piece weed stubble turned in the foil and cut up with the rbln Harrow in the spring. in conclusion, let me say that the Harrow thoroughbreaks and pulverizes the land and leaves it in a mux condition. Land that bos been pulverized th u Corbin Harrow will not bake. Respectfully, W. h. Wimcersox. Yorkyille, 8. C., JulyS, 1888. Iam 31. Grist, Yorkvllle, h. C.: DearHIr:?In rey to your inquiry as to what I think of the vuluoof e Corbin Disk Harrow as a forming Implement, I iuld say that I consider myself incompetent to do e Implement Justice, but will try to give some idea my estlmute of Its value. I consider the Corbin sk Harrow to be the most valuable larming lmpleent I have ever used, or ever expect to use. There no other lmulementof which I haveany knowledge ut will do us inuuy different kinds of work, or do e work as well. There Is no implement which will i equul sendee that I have everseen, that Is so slim e In construction or which is less liable to get out of der. It Is one of the few Improved tormina lmpleents which can be used to advantage by the ordliry negro. The Corbln Harrow will more than pay r Itself in one season If given half a chance. I now ive on my farm a 10-Inch, 12-dlsk ('orbln Harrow, 1 e original price of which wus SK). and ulthough the iplement has been In use nearly rive years, If it was N ipossible to get another, I would not take Ave times i cost for It. In conclusion, let me say that some of y assertions may sound extruvagant to some of my other farmers who ure not fkintllar with the Corbln arrow, but I will say to those who may doubt any my statements, that I will tako pleasure In demonrating the truth of each and every assertion to the tire Mutlslhctlon of all who will call at my fltrin near wn. I hope to see, or hear, at an early day, of a Corn Harow being on the farms of hundreds of fanners this section. k respectfully, w. M. Wai.kkk. 1/OWHVMvii.i.k, S. February 11,189*2. Mr. Sam M. (Jrist, Yorkvllle, K. C.: Dear Sir?You quest mo to give my opinion of the worth of the " irbln Disk Harrow as a farm Implement, after a ug experience In using one on my farm. In reply, I iuld say tliut I place a very high estimate on the nrrow. Jt does Its work so thoroughly, and so ruply, that I think It Justly entitled to he classed us one the greatest labor saving Implements used In farm isbnndry. I use my Corbln Disk llarmw to putln my small uln crop very successfully. The Harrow pulverizes c soil so thoroughly (leaving no clods behind It) at I Invariably secure a g?s?d stand of small grain, id leaves the lund smooth and in u condition to irvest the crop with machinery, without further ls>r or trouble. I'lie Harrow Is a grand implement to use with a Irof mules, hut It Is a far more eftleieiit one with in* mules attached. Iliad used my Corbln ilurinw it a short time with a pair of mules until I was thorghly satisfied that I was not utilizing Its full caluie', or In other words that it was capable of doing a iiit deal more work in a day if I would weight It wn, add horse jsiwer and give It speed. Since then have used four g<HHl. strong mules to my Corliln irrowj and have more than realized my cxpcctn>ns. The draught was so much lighter for the four ulcs, notwithstanding the Increased weight, that ey could travel at greater speed and the harrow i-omplish greater results. The area of land I can rrow In a day with four mules depends on Its charier. (in my level, samly lands, when I can sir ure ig, straight furrows, I can, with an experienced Iver, harrow an acre of land every hour, or usually i acres a day.
