advantage Of this arrangement, securing the
very lowest freight tariffs, and entire immu-

cannot be too highly estimated. 1t will be
hailed with satisfaction by the dealers Of the
far west, as well as by those in Kansas and
Missouri, as the same rule will apply to the
most distant points on the Pacific Railroad.
The Peoria & Rock Ipland railroad is now
being pushed forward to completion in the

This spring the Rock Island Piow Works
have commenced using lately discovered
mode Of hardening mould boards, which
is claimed 10 be one Of the greatest
inventions Of years in this department
Of manufactures, and enables them to
| wholly eclipse any competitors in the west.
Of its peculiar character it Is not our prov.
ince to speak, but the difference between the
Rock Island Plow, aud any other now in
use, can be readily distinguished by the ap.
plcation Of knife or file to the mould
board While almost every other pillow can be
easily cut or inden,ed, the Rock Island pillow
will resist the severest application. And
here we might state that the manufacturers
invite the public to test their plows in this
manner Wherever found. If they do not
prove this merit to be substantial one,
then ell farther preteusions will be with
drawn.
