DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BROOM.
A Iiobt cone OF brass receives the corn
which is held fast by double row Of teeth
made of malleable iron, inserted between
the two rows Of corn, and drawn into the
cone Nv means of a screw entering an iron
mt in the handle. \ brass ferule covers the
mt and gives bearing to the shoulder OF
the cone. Two small brass wires, about an
inch and n quarter III length, extend from
the two angles of the center-plece,w within the
cone. to the edges otthe broom when hlled
leaving on each side small nook TO con-
meet a narrow brass band that t1attenS and
s+iffrnS the broom instead Of sewing The
difference in weight between this and the
ordinary broom is 10 more than two or three
onnces and not perceptibie. This IS the only
natpnt in which the amount OF corn can be
varied at pleasure, according as you may
wish light or heavy broom. They wear
much longer than the ordinary brooms, from
the fact that they are not injured by alter
nate wetting and drying, and cannot Work
or shake loose at the handle.
If would lee superfluous 10 tell house
keepers that the vast majority or mooms
would last twice as long if some measure
could be introduced that would secure the
corn to the handle tillit could he worn out
In our broom this end is etttctually accom-

SOME OF IT'S MERITS.
Among the many advantages which we
claim for this broom, the principal are IT'S
durability and the cheapneSs ease and dis
patch with which il may, at any time, be re-
newed. and therefore is practical economy.
ANY man or woman, and almost any child
| of ten wears. can make a perfect broom with
| out anymachineIy in ten minutes, ana re-
new il as often as it wears out. Farmers
can raise a few hills of broom corn each year
| and having purchased one broom Tor sou
| can make their own without the expense OF
| A shilling or penny. And III cities people
NAV renew their brooms at pleasure, for the
simple price of the corn, now not more than
five or eight cents, instead OF paying as they
now do. fiftv cents for "a broom that will not
| wear half SO long. We know of no reason
why a handle and fixtures may not last {
life time.
Whenever a demand is created for any
article the country produces, some on'
stands ready to respond. For 1nstance-h
the surinu we want some delIcac1eS that I'M
season does not afford, but they have beel
preserved for us, In tie summer we wan
