Be CAREFUL.-We notice that teams are
crossing the newly made ice bridge, across
the hole, opposite the gas works. This is
rather hazardous. l. may be safe to-day, and
break tomorrow. The current is very pow
erful, at this point, and we should think the
bridge would be improved and rendered more
secure and durable by sending down more ice
from the slough and filing the space up as
high as the ferry landing or above that point

which some of our hotels and boarding

STALK CUTTERS AND SEED SowERs.-The
first implements farmer wants in the
spring, to put in his crop, are stalk cutters
and seed sewers, and Mr.. Geo. W. D. Har-
ris wants US to say to our readers that he
has the best machines of that kind. as well
as all the best agricultural implements of
every kind. Stalk cutters are not yet in
general use, and farmers resort TO various ex-
pedients to get rid of their stalks, chief among
which is that of scraping them into piles, in
some way and burning them. The introduce
ton of sharp knives on large cylinder
| wheel which revolves and cuts them all into
short bits, of about foot long, is a valuable
improvement, as they can then be plowed I'M
der, where they aid in enriching the ground !;
or, if a man wishes to SOW grain on corn
ground without blowing, the stalk cutter pre-
pares the ground and cuts up the stalks so
| that the seed sower can follow and make a
good job. Mr. Harris says that Coles Stalk
| Cutter is the best machine and he thinks no
farmer should be without one.
The sower he recommends is called Row
ellis Broad-C Cast Seed Sower and Cultivator
| over three hundred of which were sold in
this vicinity, last year, and SO well are they
| liked that large number has already been
engaged for the coming spring. Farmers
who were disappointed in getting them last
spring are recommended to give their orders
now, so that they may be in season this time.
Mr.. Harris saws that the entire absence of
any India rubber CONFERENCE.-THE wear out
in a single day,-and the knowledge that the
Rowell does good work in corn-stal!1 ground,
and don't grind the grain in sowing, is the
| secret of these unparalleled sales. His grea'
| agricultural warehouse is situated on the
| levee in Rock Island, and is already cramm
ed with every desirable machine the farmer
wants, and he wants the people to call and
see him, look at the machines, and buy il
they like them.
