Tuk Cow Nr1sASeE--We are glad to know
that our structures on the obscene handbiH nui-
sauce meet the appreciation of every respecta.
alc men in the city. We hope it will be at once
md etIec!ually nbated. If it can he done in no
"ther way let the haspies aud quacks By whom
hey are posted serre month or two in thr
i,rilewell for tic healthy improvement OF tbs
public morals.
While our band is in, we wish to cali the at.
tention of the authorities to Tue "cow" nu,sanca
\ COW, it will be ngreea on all hands, is one Of
our most useful animals, and our people should
be, and re doubt not they are, nearly equally
unanimous In the opinion that they have no tusi-
uess running at large in the streets of great
city like Chicago. That they are suffered to do
50 is IN unmitigated nuisance that should have
| been abated long ogo. We know very well
/ we broach delicate subject, especially
for those who reside in the suburbs oi
the city and where the population is not
| decse. An exception should be made in their
favor, provided the cattle are kept out of the
more central portions of the city. But it is IN
| outrage that they should run at large in our
business aud more closely built residence
streets. Erea tile small towns ia New Eng.
land aud New York will not permit cattle to
run ut large in the streets, aud it is quite time
that Chicago should respect herself sufficiently
to enforce the ordinances upon this subject.
The reasons for not permitting cQws to be
commoners" must suggest themselves to ev.
cry one. If L gale is left open By Incident O,

slowed, are sure to be destroyed. In this way
citizens who do not keep cows suffer more
1amage than they are benefit to the owners
We need scarcely refer to the nuisance they art
TO the sidewalks. And besides, many Of them
are vicious and become positively dangerous to
the children in the streets. We know gentle
man who had child nearly ruined by vicious
COW, and be informed us that such occurrences
were not uncommon.
rear or two since the Common Council
passed stringent ordinance, forbiddiug owners
10 let their COWS rua At large On the South side
north Of Twelfth street. The ordinance should
be extended to the more denscly eeltled por-
tions of the North and The Vest sides, and then
be rigidly enforced. If for my reason people
desire to keep one or more COWS, let them be
committed to herdsman rs soon as turned in
the street, md be driven to the prairies. Let
the hcrdsman return eaeh to the stable in the
crcniug. and no Que would havc just cause Of
complaint. To let cattle RIM at large, however,
is disgrace to the city, which should no longer

r. F. FIELD RorARr Pow AND SEEDING
MAcuiSE-This plow and Seeding Machine,
patented by u. +. Field, Of Wisconsin, on the
18th day Of February last, and the first working
machine built in great haste, in orlcr to place
it on exhibition at The United States Fair re-
Gently held in this city, was overlooked, by
the proper committee whose duty it was to cx-
anime it thoroughly and give thc exhibitor
fair opportunity to test its capacity and give ita
name commensurate with its merits
From the best information We are able to oil
tain, Sfr. Field had no opportunity to bring his
invention before the public, and the committee
failed to give the plow trial It is true this
pIow is not propelled By steam, neither does it
require froa, tittr to seycnty-lve feet Of ground
to stand upon; still, in the opinion Of several
gentlemen who witnessed its operation on Sat
urday lust, it possesses merits Of its own that
caunot be crushed out by eren the Fawkcs or
Waters f,aias, which propose traversins the
prairies by steam, and which must have absorbed
tic entire attention Of tho committee on plows.
This rotary Plow, or, in other words, cou-
p1ete substitute for al p'ows heretofore in 1
vented {Fawks aud Waters not excepted.)
being comparatively cheap, as well rs plain and
simple, it is the opinion Of many that It will he
readily adopted, and very soon brought into
general use.
As its name indicates, it's constructed in
rotary form, being composed of three pairs 0
wheels, four and lin1f feet ir diameter, each
pair independent Of the other, working on IN
eccentric shaft, md so arranged that The spades
on the inner wheels pass out in front through
tlc apcrtures in the outer wheels, and enter the
ground to the depth of eight inches; and rs the
wheels rcvolre the spades lift the Garth fron,
one to two feet high before ejecting it from the
rear part Of the plow, and do the work as thor
ough1y as could be done by hand.
The plow above impcrlcctly described, cuts
Eve feet wide, and can be so constructed as 10

that four yoke Of oxen arc sufficient to work Ills
