New Saw Machine.

For many years farmers have felt the
need of some improvement on the old and
laboriOus tWo-handled cross-cut saw, for
saving up bodies Of trees into any length
desired for saw-logs, slaves, rails, stove.
wood, etc. This long needed improve.
ment has at last been invented by W. W.
Giles, of Cincinnati, O., who, by the way,
is one of the greatest Of American inven-
tors. We see from our exchanges that
the editor of the Ohio Farmer, also the
editor of the Il. @. ReuieD, of Cincinnati,
called on Mr. Giles personally to see the
marvellous saw machine. They both pro-
nounce it a machine of great merit. The
curiosity ofthese gentlemen was not salts
fed upon seeing others operate the ma
chine, but they both tried i. themselves On
q large log, and they report that one man
operates it with ease, and saws much
more rapidly than two men could with
the ordinary cross-cut saw. The secret of
running this machine so easily is ex-
planned by the fact that the weight Of the
operator does fully one-half of the labor.
1t is easily moved Or carried about by ono
and practical utility wanted in such an
implement. A very large demand for
these machines is already establish ed,
and all who see them are delighted with
their superior labor-saving principles.
Many people are constantly calling on
Mr.. Giles 10 see the machine and test lis
merits for their friends in the country.
Our attention was called to one man in
Colorado, who wrote to Samuel Cary, Of
Cincinnati (and, by the way, one Of the
most distinguished statesmen Of Ohio),
asking him to call and see Mr. Giles and
his saw machine, and write what he
thought of it. MIR. Cary promptly went
to see the machine, and pronounced it o
good machine, and concluded to buy two
Of them himself. Mr.. Giles is said to be
very wealthy, being a real estate owner Of
over 100000, and his confidence in the
great merit of his invention is shown
from the fact that he guarantees every
machine to give satisfaction

The Nutmeg Tree.

The nutmeg tree is fourishing
near the equator. 1t is raised from
the nut in nurseries, where it re-
mains till the fifth year, when it
puts forth its first blossoms. 1t is
then set out permanently. The
trees are planted thirty feet apart
in diamond order. They begin to
bear in the eighth year, increasing
for many years, and they pay a
large profit. There is no nutmeg
season. Every day Of the year
shows buds, blossoms and fruit, in
every stage of growth to maturity.
The nutmeg is large and beauti-
full tree, with thick foliage and Of
a rich green color. The ripe fruit
is singularly brilliant. The shell is
glossy black, and the mace it ex-
poses when it bursts is bright scar
let, making it one of the most
beautiful of the vegetable king
dom.

Once his favorite expression was

him that he had not passed SEN
