Cincinnati is becoming grease-spo, on the earth
in seeking to squeeze what we need out Of the hog
cop, and Western Pennsylvania is going crazy n sink

Prof Sanderss water gas to DO introduced into Pba-

far from being potential. In this emergency new
elimmer Genes from England. The lime light, first
known as the Dummond Light, has been there re-
vived by Mr.. j, II. Bastable, with improvements by
Mr.. Posser. This light is produced by the combustion
of certain gases in bnaton with me and is 30 in

country, but its er,a'es. iampos were achieved in
England where Drummond made lis light visi Die

An association called the Line Light Company is about

This hook attached TO the whifle-tree by an iron
strap, and plays loosely up and down, turns quite
round behind the whifhe.tree where alone the trace

A corn-knfe, or ree.pruning knife, in shape
what ike the sickle, has been shown us. The i'm
provement consists of an iron attachment the end Of
the handle which is made to reach up along the uuder-
aide of the arm nearly to the elbow where is loosely
buckled This gives all the strength and leverage Of
the forearm to relieve the strain upon the wrist OF
course it is Yankee invention and though exceed
ngly simple will DO doubt prove equally acceptable
with thoie of greater tkill and cost
new charm has appeared, which, we believe, viii
give greater satisfaction than any of its almost unuu
cradle predecessors. Heretofore have found no
substitute for the old hard working effective dasher
chun; but one has, we think, at last been invented.
This new churn will make more, and better butter,
from given quantity of cream, than any other we
have ever seen, and In reasonable time, usually less
than half an hour Nor has il any machinery to adjust
or keep in order, and nothing bat plain, smooth

it, ehurn it, empty it. wash it, with less strength than
il takes to lift bucket of water 1t has no dasher, but
il simply plain barrel, of any required size, hung
upon iron pvots in frame, and made to revolve end

One end Of the barrel is made movable and convenient
to take of and is fastened by thumb screw, air
tight. After the put in and the cover fastened
down, email airpump is attached, and the barrel
charged with air andthen revolved. Without attempr

markable and beneficial effect upon the cream, and
apparently improves the quantity and quality OF the
butter This cburn lie not yet made known to farmers
