JEW OF FEEDEa ser FoR sIALL QUANTITY

vIFw OF FEEDER SIT FOR LARGE QUANTITY
rIVHE IMPROVEMENT consists of a positive
il feed So constructed that you can regulate
the quantity anywhere between One-half bu h
ell of VIII at and three bushels of oats IN an IN
slant, without any extra gears or change OF
gears. This is accomplished by an adjustable
rotary disk in the feed cup. and so arranged
that III the feeders are set TO work at once by
merely moving the indicator at the end of the
hopper. The rotary disks, with teeth on the
sides near the edge,are all fastened on the shaft
and moved latterally to vary the space be-
tween the disk and the side of the feed Gun
red. From the fact that they are all fastened
on the same shaft, when one IS moved they 81 rs
all mOved-consequentlyt the change is uniform
in all the feeders 1Ou need not change peck
at once, but can vary a little as you please
even a pint. or less II you desire. The feeder
Is so plain and simple that we think no farmer
can fail to understand and appreciate It's ad-
yantages- II Is Just what farmers have been
wanting. and just what manufacturers have
been trying 10 make-someihing that can be
adjusted Instantly without change OF gears.
What Farmers Say of 1t.
Every one who sees II give expressions like
the following: That's IL :" "Y0u have got IL
now ;""Just what we want " 1--WE are tired OF
carrying many gears. aud then have to
make change ot peek at once o" "This just
suits me aud must have IL ;" 1t is so easily
regulafed-I can vary Just as little AS please
"AnybOdv can set thus witI0ut making mi
take;''"I never saw anything feed as even as
this, just regular as q stT- am OF water
'.See /? IL will SOW anything Wheat, Rye, Oats
Barley FLAX Seed. Peas Beans. Corn, Timothy
and Clover Seed-and then it dOeS 10 50 niceiye
1t certainly does beat them AL ;" There i
satisfaction in using such Drill Such are
the expressions which farmers make when
they see the Feed-and they are not mistaken.
We ask you To examine IL. and we feel conf
dent that you will be suited. There are many
other valuable imDrOVneuts on the BuCkey C
not found on any other Drill.

About Thumbs.

LtEoM tne Baltimore Gazette H-...
We suppose that all our readers know
that man would not be what he Is with.
out the thumb. This little fact has been
so impressed upon US from our school
days that we are not likely to forget It
Without the thumb for lever, we would
be unable to hold anything tightly, and
most Of the inventions Of our era would be
useless, not to speak Of the enormous gen.
eral power that would be lost. Let US
accept the fact OF having thumbs, then
and bethankiul and rejoice over our Oar.
winian friends, the apes. We did moi
know, however, until we saw 1t in print
yesterday, that the thumb represented
intelligence and affection. Born idiots
frequently come into the world without
thumbS. Infants, until they arrive
'at an age when intellect dawns, con.
constantly keep their fingers folded above
their thumbs, but they soon know better,
and, as the mind develops, recognize the
dignity and usefulness OF the despised
digit. At the approach of death the
thumbs Of the dying, as If impelled by
some vague fear, seek refuge under the
fingers, and when thus found are an
almost certain announcement Of the end.
30, in leaving this world, 1t would seem
that our hands in their last desire for
movement assume, with our growing un.
consciousness, the same suggestive posi-
tion in which the hands Of the newborn
babe, with faculties all dormant first
shape themselves. Small thumbs denote
an afectionate disposition; long thumbs
80 with long heads /; short, thick, stumpy
thumbs mark q cruel man, and much
more Is told US Of the same kind. = = "a,

The Interests Of West Virginia In
the Centennial. { a7Nas

Our readers are not perhaps aware o.
the message and correspondence that
were submitted some time ago by Gov.
JACOB to the Legislature Of this State, In
regard to the forthcoming Centennial Of
Philadelphia. Ills object was TO show
the material interest that our State has
this great international Exposition, in
tended TO surpass oil the Worlds Fairs
that have yet been held, including the
great one at Paris in 1867. The Governor
submitted, along with his remarks, q
letter from the Hon. AIRx. r. BoFEIRR,
ol Jefferson county, in this State, one Of
tue two Commissioners appointed to
represent the State In connection with
the Centennial Celebration In this letter
hr BOTHER shows what vast prepare.
tions are Ia, progress to make this Expo.
siIioa al Philadelphia the grandest exhibit
ol modern times. It 10 to include an
apartment for every State in the Union,
and Tor all the Nations Of the earth.
Whatever Of natural or artificial resources
each State and Nation possesses Is to be
exhibited 10 tho best advantage in
their own apartments. Mr.. BoTR1ER
estimates that ten millions Of people win
visit Philadelphia during the Exposltion,
the same number that visited Paris in
1857. Its to remain open from April to
October In 1875. Hence there will be an
opportunity for West Virginia to place be-
fore the world specimens of her resources,
gathered from every county in the State,
such as she never enjoyed before and
never can hope to enjoy again. In order to
profit by the opportunity 1t Is Of course
necessary to provide ways and means Of
gathering together such specimens as viii
do justice 10 the resources Of the State |
and attract the attention Of the capital.
lists OF Europe and America who will
visit the Exposition. Mr.. BoTELER thinks
that 70 sufficient appropriation should
be made to secure the services of
one or two competent and energetic
men, whose duty 1t shall be to
visit every county in the State for the
purpose Of procuring therefrom suitable
specimens Of their respective minerals,
timber and other natural products, which
should be properly prepared for the exhi-
bition, to be accompanied by concise sta
tisical explanations in pamphlet form for
gratultous distribution" ,.er.
This is Mr.. BoTELER's programme, and
we do not see that better one can be
suggested II we are to take any very de.
clded and earnest steps to be properly
represented as State in the Exposition.
OF course very little can be done until
the Legislature meets next winter, but
meanwhile the people of the State can
turn the matter over in their minds and
commence reading up about 1t, and thus
come to some conclusion as TO whether
they want to improve the opportunity
presented to them. !. sll etla $50

IT ia the opinion of the so.called po-
litical leaders in Congress that 1t will be
utterly impossible to procure a strict party
vote at the present session on any import.
ant measure. About the tariff, the cur
,rency, and transportation questions, there
is . confusing variety of opinions among
prominent men Of both or all parties.
Mems principles on these subjects are
very much I'M q line with their interests,
and it Is impossible to bring all the mem.
bers Of either Republican or Democratic
caucus to look at them from the same
standpoint, The result will probably be
that little will be done by legislation in
these matters at the present session.

THE bankrupt law now in force is not
only ruinous, in many cases, to debtors as
well as creditors, but it causes an immense
waste of money in fees and other ex.
penSes. From partial statement made
by the Attorney General, it appears that
from March 2, 1867, to January 81, 1873,
the fees and expenses Of assignees have
been $1,OO3,O99i fees and expenses ol
