Come to the Fair.

We learn that preparations are being made in va
r;ous quarters to attend the State Fair next week.
and that the number of articles and of persons in
attendance will in all probability be larger than on
any former occasion. This is gratifying. Let those

designed. 1t can be used as a surface pillow alone,

be made to do the work of surface and subsoil

lance of deep blowing, for every farmer knows by
experience the benefits resulting from it, though it
should be done in such way as to leave the soil
and clay in their proper places. This is insisted

tent The subsoi attachment can be taken from the
pillow, put to simple wood work, and used as SUBJ
soil pillow or coulter, for all purposes for which such
implements are used on farm.
This pillow will be on exhibition at the State Fair
next week. and in the meantime it may be seen at the
Store of Mr.. Towles in this place. Let all who are
engaged in the cultivation of the soil examine it !;
and let US always patronize our own inventors and
mechanics in preference to those from other States.
