WASHING MACHINES =
In August last, Mrs. D. B., of.Nashyille
H., desired Us to stir up: the men of renIus
the inventors Of, labor saving implements, t.
do something for the household, with yie1
OF putting The Kitchen ON even footing viii
the farm, and especially IN the department q
Washing. The request was reasonable one
and Will receive full share Of our attention
We have several washing machines an
wringers on trial, but it requires time 10 sci

Will only state thaf al Of thewrincers ar
mora or less valuable, and that some Of th
washing machines arc worthy of attention
but the great fault is with thehrmers, wfvc

several letters to tho household, touch,no1! q;

I see from IsadlnG Tho above mined discussions
that the practice is to steam the coneords as well as
the more delicate growers. Now this may

Il is possible that the atmosphere Contained
some other elements, In the districts Where
tho rot prevailed, that proved so destructive
