YNHE simplicity and practicability of this new
i Plow commends it favorably to the special
notice of every farmer. 1t possesses a decided
superiority over all other plows now in The
wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the
unplowed land. Its entire construction is in
way complicated. The plow is managed in every
manner with ease, and requires only two levers
to be used in making any alteration. The supe-
riority of the Gay Piow will be clearly shown
by the following certificate
We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county.
Oregon, having purchased and used upon our
farms the Gay Plow, hereby certify that the
has given entire satisfaction. Its facility
for adju-tng to suit the depth of furrow without
moving from the seat, is simple and easy. We
like the plow for its draught, because the same is
brought to bear directly upon the plow- beam in
stead of the carriage also, because it is strong
and durable, all except the woodwork being con-
structed of wrought iron-no castings are used.
The wheels running upon the solid land is an ad-
vantage other g-plows, in striking off
land and in plowing, not having to make the nee
essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is
always level, not thr wing the driver forward or
, sideways as in other plows. Better work and
more of it can be accomplished by the use of this
Plow than by hand.
We take pleasure in recommending the ''GAY'
PLow to brother farmers, one having no
superior in Oregon.

Causes of Sudden Death.

Very few Of the sudden deaths which
are said to arise from diseases of the heart
do really arise from that cause. Toascer
tain the real origin Of sudden deaths, an
experiment has been tried in Europe and
reported to scientific congress at Stras-
burg-Sixty-six cases of sudden death
were made the subject of Il thorough post
na0rtem examination in these cases only
two were found who had died from dis
case of the heart. Nine out Of sixty six
had died from apoplexy, while there were
forty-six cases of congestion of the lungs
that is, the lungs were SO full of blood
they could not work, not being room
enough for a sufficient quantity of air to
support life The causes that produce
congestion Of the lungs are cold feet, tight
clothing, costive bowels, sitting still until
chilled after being warmed with labor or
rapid walk, going to suddenly from a
close room into the air, especially after
speaking, and sudden, depressing news
operating on the blood. These causes of
sudden death being known, as evidence of
them may serve to lengthen many valuable
lives which would otherwise be lost under
the verdict Of heart complaint. The Dis
ease is supposed to be siekly and incura
BILE; hence, many may not take the pains
they would to avoid sudden death, if they
knew 1t lay in their power. Ne3icaI J0aor-

How to Sweep the Floor.

In the days of our puritan grandmoth-
ers, no girl was considered fit to receive
proposals for marriage until she could
make good hemlock broom; but in these
later times, many a young lady not only
offers herself in the matrimonial market,
but absolutely gets married, and under
takes to manage her house without know
ing how to use broom that some one else
made. We have seen broom used so I'M
slzillfully that one would think the person
using it was endeayoring to tranferr the
dust from the floor to the furniture. 1t
requires some science, or at least skill, to
use broom we'll To do this skillfully,
the handle should incline forward and not
backward. If the top of the broom in,
cline forward beyond that part next the
floor, it will prevent much of the dust
from rising into the air, and will carry it
along by gently sliding motion towards
the place where it is to be disposed of.
If on the other hand, the handle of the
broom inclines backward, the dust is sent
into the air by kind of jerk, to the det-
riment of everything in the apartment.
More than this, it wears off the threads of
the carpet quicker, Injuries the paint more
if the room is unexpected, and destroyes
the broom sooner, than if the sweeping is
done in a rational way A brush of bris-
ties is always better to sweep a carpet
as it is less liable to "kick up a dust" or
to injnre the texture of the carpet.-O5

you want safe horse, avoid one that IS

not to scare, but he will have too much

not white hair about him. IF his face
