Farmers Awake to your interest
.-- GATLING ..
PATENT GRAIN DRILL.

THIS machine took the premium diploma and
L silver medal at the great Ohio State Far,
held at Cincinnati on the I'd, Sd and Attn days
of October last As to simplicity and effect 1t
has no equal. The machine is free from every
possible objection, and is just such one as the
farmers have long needed. by once passing
over the land it harrows the ground, sows the
seed with the most exact regularity and precIs-
ion, and covers all the seed good and proper
depth, thereby saving time and labor. In Eng
land and many other countries drilling has SUI
perseded the broad cast mode Of planting, In
many sections of the United States, especially
in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, New
York, and Ohio, the drill system is fast gaining
ground and will soon be universally adopted
1t has become a fixed fact, as the certificates
will show, thatthe above mode planting grain
will increase the yield from five to ten bushels
per acre.
For further information apply to the subscri-
Der, who has the right for the State of Iowa,
and who has innumerable certificates from
some of the best farmers in the states.

A Silnile.

A day was born. The eastern sky was mark
ed with cold, dim light. Anon the faint grey
.ssIt'. diffused; then they grew brighter, and
brighter, and brighter, till they filled the hori-
zon; then they climed the unfading sky, and lit
the world with radiance. The glorious sun
burst on the view, and earth lay bathed in gor-
geous dyes
The born morning smiled in blushing
love!iness, and nature drank the beauty of the
scene. Thus came into existence the virgin
morn.
Ere long tiny speck of shade hung far, far
away in the ethereal fields. Soon it grew dark
er and occupied a more extended space whilst
mournfu sigh came floating through the vale
Anon the feeble signing of the afflicted wind
increased into blast, Il gale, hurricane roar
ing like a mighty cataract of leaping angry,
kissing waters, while that lately tiny speck
spread wider, wider, and darker till it hung
like midnight's mysterious gloom in a world Of
blackness5 between earth and sky. Then the
lightning's blazing serpents fired, the slumber-
ing thunder woke, and split the heavens with
fire, and rain, and hail in Torrents tumb ed down.
Reveling in his savage freedom, the storm rush
ed round the earth. dealing destruction in his
course. The world sunk beneath the direful
change. and tottered in fear.
So the storm came. 1t passed.
The golden sunlight pierced the clouds again
and smiled once more on the world below.
II soon chaseu the warning elements IRON the
azure fields, and ere the day had waned, it was
robed in all its former brightness.
So it is with this life.
The morning dawns, and in the childhood
hours our way is bright and clear. The day
wears on, and as We grow older the storm speck
rises in our horizon, and obscures our sky Yet
still, life's sunshine beams above the storm and
though we bend beneath the fury of the blast,
those glorious rays will dissipate the gloom and
shed their cheerfulness again around our check
cred way.

One woman has used your Liniment with

for three years, the cords being contracted 80
that her legs were bent as much while standing
as IS natural for the position of the legs while
sitting, and she could not bend them in the
