in the market, and we invite farmers Ill
want of Drill to call and satisfy them
selves OH this point.
CORRUGATED RUBBER ROLLERS
which form forced feed, unequaled by
any in use, and which has now stood the
test of Yeas.
The corrugation of these rollers has been
an Improvement over the first built, and
by means of slide and regulators the
flow of seed is constant ard regular.
There can be no choking, for the reason
that it is Il positive force feed, and all the
"white caps" strawS, or any foreign sub
stance that shoIld chance TO be IN the
wheat, is fed through without stOppagc.
In this way the "skips," which are so
frequent in fields of drilled wheat, are en-
tirely avoided, and there will be found Il
regularity in the grain over the field and
that, tco, without the necessity of being
constantly watched to see if the feeding Is
all right.
TIE GUANO ATTACHMENT,
patented by j. B. Crowell, which is con-
ceded by practical farmers to be the best
vet introduced to their notice.
The great difficulty encountered in SOW
ing some kinds of guano is, that the agita-
tion of the mass in the hoppers renders it
sticky, and it will not, in consequence,
feed downward.
BY the use of CrGwell's Guano Attach
ment this is overcome, and us experience
has proven,
ALL KINDS OF FERTILIZERS
in use can be Sown, without even mixing
with any substance to render it less sticky.
Its simplicity is one of its great point.
THE GRASS SEED SOWER
is attached to the rear of the hopper, and
has zinc bottom, which is perforated for
the grass seed to pass through. \ light
wooden slide, with indcntations cut
trausversely, agitateS the seed which
should be clean tC SOW with regularity.
The grass seeder can also be attached,
forward of the hopper, or if it is specially
ordered can be left off entirely, in when
latter case there is Il deduction of five dol
lars from the price list.
TIE SURVEYOR
measures correctly the number of acre
sown, or parts of an acre down to sixteen
this. In making the turns at the end of
the field, the holster puts the working
parts out of gear, and in consequence the
surveyor does not move in the least, and
can, therefore be relied upon to measure
correctly.
ZIGZAG ARRANGEMENT.
The Zigzag arrangement, has recently
been adopted, will be put on only where
specially ordered, for which five dollars
will be charged i'll addition to the regu-
lar price.
The change can be made from a zigzag
to a straight line and vice versa, in mo-
ment, without even hoisting the shovels,
without removing bolt. 1t is simple i'll
its construction, and will not easily set
out of repair.
The entire machine is so well balanced
that the horses necks do not become gall
ed. This is accomplished Oy the manner
in which the hopper is set upon the frame.

sleep Is the Best s.imulant.

Tie best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry any
thing through is to 60 to bed and sleep
for week if he can. This is the only
recuperation of brain power, the only
actual recuperation of brain force: be-
cause, during sleep, the brain is in .
state of rest, in a condition to receive
and appropriate particles Of nutriment
from the blood, which take the place Of
those which have been consumed or In;
previous labor, since the very act Of
thinking consumes. or burns up solid
particles, as every turn of the wheel or
screw of the splendid steamer is the re-.
suit of consumption by fire Of the fuel
in the furnace. The supply of consum-
ed brain substance can only be had from
the nutritive particles in the blood, which
were obtained from the food eaten pre-.
viously; and the brain is so Constituted
that it can best receive and appropriate
to itself these nutritive particles during
state of rest, of quiet, and stiffness OF
sleep. Mere stimulants supply nothing
in themselves; they goa0the brain, and
force it to greater consumption of its
substance, until that substance has been
so exhausted that there is not power
enough left to receive supply, just a.
men are so hear death by thirst and stare
vation that there is not power. enough
left to swallow anything, and all is over.

there is no question that it can be done

The Liberty Cap.

!.
When slave was manumitted by the
Romans, small red cloth cap, called
piIeus, was placed on his head. So soon
as this was done he was proclaimed q
freedman, (li6ertinus, and bis name du
ly registered. When Saturnius took the
capital, in the year 263, he hoisted cap
on the top Of his spear to indicate that
all slaves who Joined him should be free.
Marius employed the same symbol when
melting the slaves to take up arms
against Sylla, and when Caesar was mur-
dered. the conspirators marched forth in
a body, with cap elevated on spear,
as token of liberty. The Goddess of
Liberty in the Aventine Mount was rep
resented as holding in her hand cap,
the symbol of freedom. In France the
Jacobins wore red cap, (6onnet rouge J
but in England the cap of blue, with a
white border, is the symbol of liberty,
and Britannia is sometimes represented
as holding such cap on the point OF
her spear. The American cap of liberty
is also of blue, with white band or bor-
der on the bottom, upon which thirteen
stars are placed, and has been adapted
from the British. There is no absolute
or positive regulation in regard to this
cap, beyond its shape and color, SO far
as America is concerned. It.. is in the
the shape of an old fashioned night.cap

How the French Disposed OF Mex.
lean Robbers.

When the French were in Mexico the
stage rebberies in the vicinity of Mon
terey became almost as frequent as they
are getting to be between here and King
bury. With the practical common sense
for which the French are distinguished
when they 60 about killing people, the
French General at Monterey devised a
plan that worked like charm. He pick
ed out half a dozen of his smallest Zou.
laves and dressed them up as females, and
put them in the stage. Each unprotect-
ed female had short breech loading
carbine concealed under his pettipants,
and they covered their demure faces by
wells. OF course the robbers surround
ed the stage, and the ladies with an ex.
cess of feminine modesty, climbed out
of the stage and fell in line with the rest
of the passengers, when of sudden an
epidemic broke out among those Mexi-
caD patriots, for each lady, on an aver
age, destroyed about three of them, and
tie rest lost all taste for female society
and went away disguised.
The ladies returned to town in high
glee, but for a long time the Mexican
bandits entertained such lofty yenera.
