THIS LOOM treads the Treadles, throws
Il the Shuttle, let's off the Web, and
takes up the Cloth by simply moving the
baton back and forth. It weaves Jeans,
Blankets, Tweeds, Satinet, Kersey, Plain
Cloth ,Towsling, Birdeye- Diaper, Carpets, de-,
dc. The weaver has only to change TIE Pins
in the Treadle Wheel to make the different
kinds Of Cloth. By an arrangement Of the
machinery of this Loom, that no other has,
the weaver can make as much or as little Of
the Shed when the Baton is coming forward
as is required, completing the Shed as the
Baton goes back; or, it can all be made as
the Baton comes forward, for the purpose of
weaving Woolen Warp that clings.
BY this arrangement, the Filling is always
beat up after the Gross is made, Making bet
ter Cloth and better Selvage than can be
made by the open Shed, because, it prevents
the Filling from being drawn out at the edge
towards the shuttle after it is beat up.
These looms are made of the best black
walnut lumber, got up in the best of styls
and oil finished. They are furnished with
$50 of the best Wire Heddles, one Steel
Reed, any hundred desired; one Wheel Shut
tie OF the best manufacture, twelve Hobbins,
Temples, Rattle, de-, all complete, ready for
weaving. They are made to weave 40 inches
wide.
Persons wishing these looms, in the eoun-
ties of Gallia, jackson, Vinton, Ross and
Lawrence, can be accommodated by sending
their orders to me. Warranted to perform
as recommended. Can be seen at Fsnner's
building.

On one occasion, fox having been sur

with such etactness, that the owner of the
slaughtered poultry thought that Master
Rey had overgorged himself, and per
ished of surfeit, like one of our own
kings. Congratulatiug herself on the fate
of the robber, she picked him up by the
tail, and threw him out of the hen-house,
when the fox picked himself up and
scampered of. Another time, peasant,
finding fox in hen-house, aimed blow
at him, which apparently killed him. The
man then took the fox up by the tail, slung
him over his shoulder, and carried him
out of the farm yard, intending, most prob
ably, to decorate his house with the brush,
his barn with the head and paws, and his
person with the skin. If so, his medita-
tions were speedily destroyed, for the fox
had only slammed death, and, finding his
inverted position uncomfortable, took
measures to relieve himself by administer
ing q severe bite where his head was

How q Boy Bought . Farm.

SEVERAL years ago, q youth of sixteen
years, of good sense, and good English
education, not having profitable employ
ment at his fathers home in Kentucky,
sought for employment among his enter
prising neighbors few miles distant and
although wages were low in those days of
gold and silver currency. he saved from
his first years wages seventy dollars. He
was then seventeen years old, healthy,

He had already learned that money loaned
at high rates of interest was Oppressive
to the borrower, and reacted on the lOaner,
and in the falling of prices of nearly all
articles in the commercial world; that
men sought Qualifications for their bank
ruptcy and delinquency in the fact that
they had paid large rates OF interest:
Feeling, therefore, that liberality, Is well
as Justice, was necessary to every mans
dealing with his fellow men, he loaned his
$40 to an exemplary, enterprising and
prosperous trading man in his neighbor-
hood, at the lowest rate of interest known
in business in that State, viz. six per
cent. per annum. He worked another
year, clothed himself in neat Kentucky
jeans, and other cheap but neat articles OF

liberal farmer evenings and mornings to

second year, or when he was eighteen
years of sge, he had saved sos more: His
Character for integrity and industry began
to be better known in the neighborhood,
and his services were sought for.
He worked on farm and rode a. col

Auxiliary Crops.

If the corn crop over considerable ex.
tent of country ID short; apd the small
grains are injured. as seeris likely, by an
exaggerated growth of straw At the et-
pense Of berry, it will be well to engage
more than usual in such of the later sown
crops, as may, in measure, take their
places. 1t now seems that the grass crop
Is to be In exceedingly heavy one, 80 that
Hungarian and Millet viii not be heeded
for fodder except as with their abundance
of seeds they may take the place OF grain.
If thought best to have them on hand, 1t
is not now too late to put them in, and
the land intended for corn or where the
seed has failed, may be used for that pur-
pose.
Buckwheat will help the farmer out
amazingly, and may be sown anytime for
two weeks yet. It is not the equal Of
corn, oats or barley for feed, bat ia not to
be despised, while in the household and
for poultry 1t is Quite desirable. A patch
of it is a good thing to have to fall back
on.
The Ruta Baga is still more va liable is
not difficult of cultivation, and yields well
on all the lighter prairie soils, or where
sand Is q component part, but not prepon-
deratipg. Now is the time to put them in.
Make the soil mellow; roll it, and use the
drill to put in the seed. The rows should
be from two TO three feet apart. The Gull
tivation may be done principally by the
email pillow or cultivator, thinning out
and pulling the weeds in the row by hand.
The common Turnip should not be
overlooked here, though there is plenty
of time to put in the seed for month yet
In connection with hay, turnips are good
for all kinds of stock. All are fond oil
them; sheep especially SO. Therefore
where sheep are kept and Corn is scarce,
flock masters should provide themselves
with turnips, as substitute cheaper than
ANYTHING else. "Ten cent" corn and oats
are better, but such we are not likely to
have soon again. They may be put in
broad cast or in drills, but in either case,
avoid getting them too thick, or if thick
at first for the fly and poor seed, take
pains to thin out after the stand is &C.
cured.
Pumpkins, or as our English friends
have it of late "Cattle Melons" are moi
to be ignored as one of the helps. They
are good to make beef, fed with hay and
grain, or even with hay alone. Hogs like
them and will fatten on them. Good
crops of pumpkins may be grown on
prairie breaking. At the East good crops
are grown In connection with corn, but
we believe with our large growth of stalk
and leaf, almost completely shading the
surface of the ground, the best way Is to
give the pumpkin the whole of the ground
and let it have q chance.-Prairie Farmer
