good q display at this as at 1ofmer ldils' ou'
to our eyes, and it has seen them all, and all
heretofore exhibited in them with some
power to discrimin ate-ths is the best exhl-
bitior, the most complete and much the
best arranged and provided for of any.
1t will be told that the cumbrous steam
plow is not exhibited, being at WORK for
Mr.. Etfingham Lawrence, but IN place OF II
is the subsoiler for the many and not Tor the
few.
The yvinfree subsois Plow.
This is the best of all subsoil pioWs yet
seen by us, and we have used that OF Bug
giles, Nurse and Mason as far back as 1913,
and had the only one then within two hun
dred miles of us, and we have followed up
their subsolers ever since.
This Winfree plow is simple IN shape, OF
easy traction, strongly constructed, and Will
cut it's way well through the SOD, or our
Judgment, gsined by experience, is at fault.
The subsoil plow is used, as your agricuitu-
raj readers know, to break up the soil below
the ordinary furrow. The use OF ii restores
worn lands to fertility, and increases the
Weld of good lands. The best Of land gets
''tired,n but this plow brings up the wealth
which has not yet been touched, and puts 1t
in use.
The Winfree plow has attachments called
"opeaersn and "scrapers," which are ad-
Unstable, the first leaving a well broken dull
row for seed or fertilizers, and the second
acting as scrapers. These car be put higher
or lower as NAV be preferreG,
In noticing the brooms shown by NJ. j.
Z. Night, We forgot to make mention OF his
Southern broom corn, from which. despite
that Sthe manufacture or broomS is new
with US, large portion OF his brooms nave
been made, and that in the interest OF
Southern cultivation as well as manufacture,
he last year put forth circular, showing
how to sow, cultivate and raise broom corn,
aud proving that it is far more profitable
than cotton or sugar. because in our eli
mate constant succession OF crops can De
made.
Planters and farmers should seek him out
and get his circulars and get seed from MN,
as well as see his superior brooms, better
than any usually brought to this market.
We shall shortly have occasion TO mention
his steam engines. ETC., which Will be on eX-
hibition before the close OF the fair.
We again took a look at Cares portable
houses. The use Of these is somewhat new to
Ms hare. but they are in most extensive use il
tie West, where men must not only take
up their beds and walk" sometimes, when
they emigrate. but must carry their houses
with them always when they go TO prairie
regions.
Here. where our planters do not know
how much accommodation their laborers
will require from year to year; where men
move often to "new places,7 and wherever
our Opelousas and Texas prairies can fur
nish no homes which are not carried there.
| the portable house must come into great
request,
Messrs. W. ". Carre Co.'S portable
| houses, exhibited at this as at former fairs,
| supply the great want. They are good
| houses, made Of the best lumber, ana fur
| nish two ffteen-feet rooms, with al things
complete for use for from 3145 to $40.
They can be put up easily, and taken
| down easily, and, it strikes Us, could be used
| quite well for seashore or pine woods resi-
| dences for the summer, and be taken dow
| and put away during the winter.
| A couple of such cottages would answer
| the purposes of small family, intent chiefly
| on outdoor amusements aud exercises dur
| ing the day, and needing the shelter only as
| dOrmitories in wet weather. Bat for The
| planter and contractor they must be Jus
| the thing"

The Sewing Eachinet.
|! These attract the greatest attention, th'
| ladies' in particular crowding heavily arount
them. They are indispensable now, anc
| though it is we'll that many inventors hav'
| tried their hands in varying their work anC
| diyersifying it. Among them is the new
! Perham Sewing Machine,
| Intended for light manufacturing and gen
eral family sewing. 1t possesses the pat
| ented improvements Of W. c. Parham, VIII
has been connected with the sewing ma
| chine manufacture from their first introduc
| ton, and who has studied out many grea
improvements, which are embodied III thl

It makes the lock stitch, is noiseless, sew!
the lightest fabrics as well as the heaviest
| and runs very light-no small consideration
to the operator. The elegant machine OF
| exhibition at the fair is under the eXper
fenced hands of Mrs. Pauline Gregory
whose skill and experience as an operator
OF sewing machines is we'll known, and sh
| prOnounces it the best III machines.
There is an opening for an agency TOR thes
machines. ass the treasurer Of TIE Parhan
Manufacturing Company, of Philadelphia,
here looking up agents, and VIII be GLAD Il
close with a competent one.
We come again across that "paganlnlan
single thread machine of Wilcox Il Gibbs
| shown by M. S. Hendricks, OF 81 Cana
| street. For a long time it was thought tina
no single thread machine could MAKE
| close, firm and reliable stitch, but th
twisted loop stitch of these inventors ha
| accomplished the desired object and no'
the simple thread, taken from the ordinar
, spool Of cotton without need Of rewindin
} or putting into shuttles, and having no con
plications, does all the work. This is 8 yer
| great saving of time, which IS money, an
| of patience, which is more. The simple ma
chine is always the best if it does the sam
work with the complicated one, and this
assuredy the. case with that OF the WilcC
& Gibbs, i'll family work.
The Howe Sewing Machine.
