Now in use irrespective Of Price.

Now in use irrespective of Price.
We ask attention to the following points Of
excellence in WEST Wilson's Machine.
LIST. Its simplicity, and the directness with
which the power is communicated to the needles.
This is great desideratum andin this we claim
decided superiority over all other machines.
I'd. The needle and needle bar are both
straight and the motion direct the needle bar
is attached 10 n small wheel driven by n larger
one, instead Of 10 the long arm of n lever, as in
most machines with power upon the short one.
The latter arrangement necessarily makes tho
motion OF the needle both circular and weak,
while the former gives strength and directness.
81. The great power and directness Of the
motion enables ms to sew all fabrics, from gauze
to four thicknesses of leather, with almost equal
case, and the Machine can be made 10 run.
without changing needle or thread through ali
the different thieknesses, from u sheet of paper
to heavy leather, and back and forth without
dropping a stitch or breaking thread Wo
know of no other family machine of equal ca
pacity.
4th. IL uses silk, cotton or linen thread from
the original spools; unlike most machines, it
will permit the seam to be turned at right an
giles at its highest speed; il has much more room
than amy other family machine for passing goods
through, thus allowing to pass freely the heavi-
est garments, bed-quilts, &c., and il will turn UP
readily upon hinges attached to the stand, tho
this is seldom necessary, as both tensions are
regulated from above.
9Th. The Machine will do greater variety
of work than can be done by any other stitch.
II will HEM, QUILT, GATHER, EMBRoID-
Err and CORD, and will do neatly and rapid
ly every variety of sewing that can be done by
a similar stitch upon the highest priced machine
No machine win make and put upon garments
the finishing cord as neatly as ours.
Send for circular COMMUNICABLE particulars,
prices, testimonials, illustrations Of stitch, &c.
Machines warranted and full directions given,
for using, without charge.
Orders for machines and circulars will receive
prompt attention, by addressing

WHAT FARMERS SHOULD Do.-No Pc
Rod has occurred in our history within
the last half century when greater obliga-
tons rested upon the farmer to SOW fields,
broad and wide, with grain that may be
converted to food, and plant largely Of
potatoes, corn, &c.,-in short to cultivate
every available acre with something that
will afford sustenance for man and beast.
So many of our hardy yeomanry have
armed themselves for the defence of the
country that productive agricultural Ia
Dor will be greatly diminished, rendering
it mother of necessity for those that do
remain to do their utmost TO bring from
the bosom of mother earth food for the
millions, including those and the families
of those who have bravely volunteered
TO fight our battles for us. Let there be
plenty in The land.
