laudanum.
Mr.. Jacobs had been e about 10
O'Clock in the morning by the inmates
of the hotel, passing into his room, with
a paper parcel in his hand. This par

This gentleman is the general agent of the
manufacturers of the Bickford & Huffman
grain drill; a machine which we have often
referred TO in these pages, and one which il
widely and tavorably known as the embodi-
ment of many effective mechanical devices
and as having stood well in a long continued
test of its capacity in many diverse sections
Col. Underhill makes specially of this
drill, combining with it but one other machine
of which we will speak below and has his
headquarters and depot at Ga S. Sharp street
Baltimore. His sales astseason as he informs
us, were double what they ever were before at
this distributing agency in single season,
and he was unable to supply all his orders.
The general features of the Farmers Fa-
vorite," which is synonym the makers give
their drill, are so well known that we need
not take space here to enumerate them. 1t
is claimed that there are continual improve
ments being made in the various parts of the
machine, or in their adaptation to the work
to be done, or to each other One ofthe latest
of these minor but still important alterations
is combined spring and brake tube. The
adaptation of the spring, and the consequent
tension, not being TO keep the tube in, but to
return 1t to, its place when it strikes stone
or root
A special claim of this drill is for its certain
ty redistribution and accuracy of measure
ment of seed sown, and its adaptation for
seeding all kinds of grain, both small and
large. new use to which it is row being
put is for planting corn in drills. All bul
two of the tubes are closed and the corn is
dropped in the rows about six inches apart
and covered. 1t is said that on land which
is in good order, and where the Thomas Har.
row is used for cultivating corn, this plan has
answered very well.
The other machine offered by Col. Under.
hill is the Wisner Sulky Rake, new candi.
date in this region for public favor 1t is
claimed that this rake is of superior construc.
ton as regards materials and principles. II
is either self discharging or worked by d
hand lever; and it has connected with it the
grass seed attachment ofthe Bickford & Huff
man Drill, an arrangement for sowing seeds
which is becoming popular.-Americdn Far.
