FOUR HUNDRED TH0usANB

Of their Machines in use, although having ex-
listed but sic years., while the Company which
claims to have the most in use has only about
twice that number, though having existed for
t,oenty years. They are now manufacturing
over six hundred daily, or one per minute,
and at that rate can hardly supply the de-
mand.
Very many persons are in need of first
class Sewing Machine, yet do not feel quite
ready to pay the full price at once, and are
sometimes led into purchasing an inferior ma
| chine, at less cost, because machine of some
kind is really needed in every family. And
then again some say, 81 will get me n cheap
machine now; it will perhaps do my work
at present, and will learn to run a machine
and sometime ! will get better" To all,
both high and low, we would say: When you
select n Sewing Machine you should be as
particular as you need 10 be in selecting a
family horse. See that ii has a reputation
unexccptonal see that it is made for endur-
ance; see that it is sound; see that ii is always
ready TO go; see that it has no bad tricks; see
is in good health, Sc that it will not need con-
slant doctoring; see that you get one you can
depend upon to do all the work, and do it
just when you need it done and above all don't
buy balky horse, nor bulky machine. A
poor Sewing Machine is worse than none,
and constant source of trouble Many of
what are called selling points in machine are
simply frivolous, and intended to tickle the
fancy of those who are sold. il is no great
recommendation in horse for family use that
1t can walk on three legs, and so useless tricks
in q Sewing Machine should be avoided -
Substantial excelenc;es only can stand The
test of time and use. The Howe Machine has
stood the test, and to-day over four hundred
thousand are in use throughout the civilized
world. II IS not sold al an aaoaace Of
Fifteen Dollars over New York Prices,
like some Of its competitors, but is offered on
such easy terms that persons Of moderate in
come can obtain one BY paying small monthly
installments, and thus in time become pos
sessed of machine that Is not cheap in any
sense of the word, but one that will earn its
cost many times over, and bea constant source
Of relief and comfort,

POETRY
SMILE wHENE'ER YOU CAN


When .hings don't go to suit you
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fret,ng,
Bat drive away that frown.
Since life is oft pcrpexing,
IT'S much the wiscst plan
To bear all trials braycly,
And smile whenc'cr you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And thus despoil to-day2
For when you borrow trouble
You always have to pay.
1t is good old maxim
Which should be often preached
Don't cross thc'bridge before you,
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared much signing,
If you would keep in mind
phe thought that good and evil
Are always here combined.
There must be something wanting,
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket
That precious jewcl--health.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
You have an empty purse
And earth has many trials
Which consider worse
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whene'er you can.

WHAT Horse is Worm average
working life Of the horse will not exceed fifteen
years. II the average price Of the farm or
road horse at FIVE ycars-the period at which
he viii generally reach his full value be $l00,
then he will depreciate in value $40 per an
mum after that age. AT ten years he should
be worth but $50, and at twelve but S35, see
ing as at the latter age the probabilities are
that he has used up seven-tenths of the period
OF his usefulness TO man. lam speaking now
OF the average horse and of his real value at
that age as compared with younger horses of
the same grade 1t is true that horse if CON-
paraiively sound at twelve years of age will
generally bring in the market price conside-
rably in advance of this; but considering if
teen years to be the average limit of usefulness
aud considering the increased cost of keeping
rs the horse gets older, and also the extreme
liability 10 die by botts and other diseases 20
which old horses are peculiarly liable, and the
chances arc greatly against any ordinary horse
being worth at that age a sum of money much
in excess of that have named 1t is also true
that farm or work horse at even fifteen years
OF age, it still vigorous, is ofie.l worth con-
siderable sum, but as a rule, with few excep-
iions, sound horse, Eve years OF age, is as
well worth SIoo as is horse from twelve TO
fifteen worth $50 or less.

APPRECIATION OF MANuREs. -As II general rule
manure does best on heavy soils, applied as a
broadcast top-dressing; on light soils it is bet
ter to pillow it in with shallow burrows. There
has not been a sufficient number Of accurately
conducted experiments with top-dressng in
Summer TO determine satisfactorily what
amount OF manure would be thus wasted by
exposure. We suspect, however, that this
great loss is commonly oyer-estimated. Ma
Mure spread on grass land early in Autumn or
even in August, has not only proved of great
value to the grass but has had a marked effect
on the following corn crop, planted on Spring
plowed sod. We should prefer spreading to
having in heaps. When spread evenly every
shower of rain washes the soluble and enrich
ing parts into the soil, but if in heaps it would
be more likely to lose by fermenting and rains
would be no benefit TO it. Without knowing
any thing of the nature or condition of the
SOL, we should be inclined to recommend, as
the safest course, TO plow in the manure rs
shallow as practicable, after being thoroughly
spread and broken by surface harrow, leay-
ing, however, portion Of the field with the
manure exposed, by way of experimental al

returned to the pursuit in COM
pany with l.. A. Smith, and sew
eral Indian trailers collected to-
gether by the latter.
The trail was again taken up,
this time by the Indians, and fol-
lowed to a point in the wire-grass
near the Colorado where the
pursuit was necessarily very slow.
There are men now on the look
out at Smiths Ferry, and at
other points on the river, and
if the murderers are still in the
Colorado bottoms, there is pos
sibility of their being taken.
One of the assassins is believed
to be "Sanchez," the Mexican
who helped murder Reid and 9th
ers at Mission Camp in 1871,
and he is also the murderer OF o
boy in Altar, Sonora, several years
ago. His companion in crime,
also Mexican, is not known by
name. They have weighty rea-
sons, no doubt, for not going to
Sonora, and will attempt TO get
into Lower California with the
fruits Of their hellish deed.
It is understood here that $1,000
will be paid for the apprehension
