smooth. oily tongne Of the agent soon gets . do
cison in his favor, and there arc two sales cifec-
ted instead Of ope-fsr the farmer is sold and the
agent sells his wares. VIXEN We glance over the
list Of patent gates, and bee-hves, ox-yokes, and
3 thousand and one other worthless things that
hav: been sold to farmers, and are At the present
time being hawked about the country, We cannot
help urging every man to acquire the habit Of
saying NO!
There may be one or two better -churns than
the old fashioned one used by our grandfather,
but how many Thousands Of worse than useless

The same is true Of nearly all Of the smaller
implements used abOut the household and farm !;
the inventors, manufacturers and peddlen Of the
same have Hourirhed amazingly, simply because
the farmers could not or did not say no. All the
vile nostrums that arc distributed through the
country were sent there by the manufacturers
simply because they know the weakness Of the
masses; and swindlers of all kinds, from wine
plant peddlers down to the counterfeit money
DEALER. who send boxes Of sawdust to their dnpes,

did introduce new plant, fruit or vegetable,
they will be dipped less often. When any one
calls IN you and pretrnsls that he has something
