THE AMERICAN WASHER

THE AMERICAN WASHER SAVES MONEY
TIME, AND DRUDGERY.

The Fatigue Of Washing Day no Longer Dread
ing, Sure.
In calling public attention to this little machine,
a few OF the invaluable qualities, mot possessed
by any other washing machine yet inyented) are
here enumerated.
1t is the smallest, most compact, most portable,
most simple in construction, most easily operated.
A child ten years old, with few hours practice,
can thoroughly comprehend and effectualy use It,
There Is no adjusting, no screws to annoy, no de-
lay in adapting II is always ready for use 1t
Is perfect little wonder! II is miniature giant
doing more work and of better quality, than the
most elaborate and costly. One half OF the labor
is fully saved by its use and the clothes will last
One-half longer than by the old plan OF the rub
board. 1t will wash the largest blanket, or three
shirts at a time, washing thoroughly! In word
Curtain or Cambria Handkerchief, are equally
in the capacity OF this LITTLE GEM! 1t can be
fastened to any tub and taken off will.
No matter how deep. rooted a prejudice may
exist against Washing Machines, the moment this
little machine Is seen to perform its wonders, all
doubts OF Its cleaning efficacy and utility are BAN
ished, and the dOubter and detractor at once be-
come the fast friends Of the machine.
We have testimonials without end, setting forth
Its numerous advantages over all others, and from
hundreds who have thrown aside the unwieldy,
accomplish the object promised In prominent and
loud sounding advertisements.
1t Is as perfect for washing as n wringer Is for
wringing. The price, another paramount induce
ment to purchasers, has been placed so low that
IT is within the reach OF every hOusekeeper, and
there Is no article OF domestic economy that will
repay the small investment so s0On

DD- When King James was once pass

that the Mayor should compliment him
on his arrival,
1t so happened that this chief magis-
trate was eminently stupid, which is look
ed upon as no strange thing in England.
The town clerk was appointed to at
tend him at his back, and whisper what
he was to say to the King. When they
came into his Majesty's presence, the
clerk, desiring to encourage the Mayor,
whispered in his ear:
q" Hold up your head and look like a
man p So.
"Hold up your head and look like a
man r did the Mayor bawl to the King.
The clerk, astonished, whispered .
What the deuce do you mean?"
The Mayor balled out ...

The clerk, sweating with fear and vex-
alton, whispered:
BY heaven, you will ruin us all"
The Mayor Immediately repeated
By heaven yow UW ruin as air. VI
"The clerk, in a violent rage, said -
Oh, yOn laundering puppy, l wish
you had never come here"
The Mayor again bawled: r5

Save the COrnfOdder.

We have long been of the opinion,
says the Germantown Telegraph, that
there was not that attention paid to the
curing and saving of the cornfodder
that its value demanded. Every good
farmer must know that cattle eat it
greedily through the winter, and if cut
and steamed it is as good for them as
the best hay, and really more milk pro.
ducing.
Where is the necessity of allowing it
to remain in shocks until the middle OF
end of November? Corn should not be
cut down until tho stalks are dying, and
the grain is pretty hard, and then it
should remain no longer in the field than
is absolutely necessary for the dying OF
the grain. 1t should be husked as early
as possible, and the fodder tied up in
bundles, and either carefully stacked
asar the cattle stables, or put under
shelter 10 sheds.
1t is welLknown, too, that horses pre-
fer it to the best hay; also that the
blades are especially sought for to feed
racing animals, strengthening their wind
and bottom beyond any other food. 1t
Is besides wholesome provender, and
helps most benefcially in making the
winters supply Of hay hold out till late
in the spring, with the addition of roots,
which every farmer, who shrewdly looks
to the main chance, ought to cultivate
for feeding in the early part.
