The Glass MOIe.Board PlOw.

To the Editors ofthe Cedar Falls Gazette.
Some time since had an opportunity
Of examining this pillow, and l at that
time thought, as probably many Others
do, that it would not supercede the cast
cast steel pillow. have been weighing
the matter in my own mind for some
time, and have come to the conclusion
that it will eventually take the place OF
all other plows, and I here give my
reasons :-e-.s.....-. ..........-..-.
LIST. Glass Is non-conductor, there
fore all soils which contain iron will
not adhere to it,.
I'd. Glass, being a non-conductor
has a tendency to throw off soils of any
metallic combination.
3D.. A smooth plate of glass will not
become rough in any soil. Ground
glass" is made by covering the surface
with strong acids. A piece of glass held
to coarse grind stone will soon be pol
ished as smooth as plate glass.
4th. 1t is less liable to clog in wet
soils than dry, but it cannot clog in any
soil. Try the experiment by putting a
smooth bright spade in the ground and
drawing it ont, then do the same with
pane of glass, and you will see parti-
cles of soil on the spade, but none on
the glass; or take magnifying glass
and look at the surface of polished
steel mole-board and it will look like a
nutmeg crater, then look at piece OF
glass and you will find the surface per-
fectly smooth. .
9Th. 1t never rusts or becomes rough
by exposure to the weather.
9th. No prairie soil will break a
glass moleboard three-quarters of an
inch thick, with proper bearings and
fastenings.
eth. 1t is no heavier than a steel
board.
Sth. They require less power by be-
ing a non-conductor and having per-
fectly smooth surface that will not
clog.
9th. The bearings and fastenings are
greatly improved by attachments Oh
the back of the mole board, leaving the
surface perfectly smooth.
10th. The expense is ten dollars less
that first class plow.
l have no interest whatever in the
pillow, and make these statements with
out the knowledge of Mr.. Holt, the pro-
prietor.
Mr.. Holt, the inventor OF the above
plow, intends putting up large estab,
lishment here next spring to manufac.
ture his piows. t.

Sure Cure for Cancer.

DEWITT, Clinton Co., Iowa, Nov. 30, IS.
TO the Editor Chicago Eoening Journal:
I see in your paper an article headed "Cure
for Cancer copied from Philadelphia paper,
atattracted my notice, because lhave known
the same remedy successfully used in several
cases Two persons, near neighbors of mine,
tried IL with entire success, after their cases
had been pronounced hopeless by the most
skillful physicians. ! believe 1t to be a most
ally known. The address of the persons who
are referred to can he had ii desired.
Very truly, p.
The remedy above alluded to is as fol-
lows: The juice of the sheep-sorrel ex-
pressed, and exposed on pewter plate,
in the sun, until somewhat jellied. APP
ply on the skin over and around the
cancer. AS soon as the pain of the first
drawing subsidies, renew the applica-
ton, and continue repeating it until the
cancer, with the roots attached, loosens
and drops out.
The ingredients of which the pewter
is composed, combining with the acid
of the plant, are believed to be impor-
tant to the compound. The leaves of
the sheep-sOrrcl are what botanists call
Sdgittate, which is, resembling i'm shape,
the head of an arrow. 1t grows extern
sively in this country-on poor ground,
sometimes on the roadside, near fences.
The writer found it important to warm
the leaves in an oven for two or three
minutes, which softened them so that
the juice was easily wrung out with the
hands. To prevent the juice drying up
while warming, | covered the plate on
which it was placed in the oven. The
leaves of the plant, after squeezing, l
applied to my corns. 1t was cool,
comfortable application, without pain
or inconvenience. After wearing it
about six hours. they were so softened
l was able to peel them off.

a bill has been introduced in the Iowa
Senate requiring County Treasurers to

We don't think the bill better pass. A
law OF that kind would tempt printers
to become liars, and those with the
smallest consciences would take the
persimmons. AS is well known, print

it were better that they should remain
in their native purity. We believe the
prayer of respectable journalists to be,
