The Harvest.

Some of the farmers commenced their
spring wheat harvest Monday and by the
end Of the week it will become quite gsner.
al ia this section of the state. Repor IS
differ so much that it is difficult task to
arrive at the amount of yield. While it is
quite certain that the crop in many locali-
ties is making return largely above the
average yet it is true that in other places
the crop Is turning out poorly and will not
produce near an average yield having been
injured by rust, chinch bugs aad blight,
principally the result Of the excessive heat
and extreme moisture during the past few
weeks We find but little if any complaint
regarding the quality of berry, it being uni
formly regarded as plump and good, indi-
eating that most of our spring wheat this
year will be No. in quality, although
the yield on the whole may fall short Of
expectations a month ago. A general
summary, then, of the harvest for this i'm
mediate vicinity leads to the opinion that
in the amount of production there will be,
perhaps, slightly above full average with
No. berry.

Saladee'S "ECIiDse, .

SalddeeS Eclipse,
Either as pleasure or business Buggy, has
never yet been approached in the art Of car
riage building. 1t is superior to all other
buggies for its Simplicity, because the com
plete running gear OF these buggles is con-
structed with fewer parts and pieces than
the ordinary side or elliptic buggies, and
hence, Lightness, Strength and Durability
are secured. There being no rigid connec.
tiou between the axles no violent shock or
strain can be impaired to the wheels or any
other palt of the vehicle.
An ease of motion is impaired to the
body never before equaled in any kind or
class of Pleasure Carriages, while, at the
same time, the buggy presents an elegance
in appearance, and Style OF Finish never
yet approached. The Eclipse is positively
an Anti-Rattling Buggy, there being no
piece or part about the entire gearing that
can ever wear so as to become loose or
'shaky."
A New Coupling is substituted for the Or
binary "ifth wheel" which is a novelty for
its simplicity, safety, durability and ele-
gance, Perfect Track. The Eclipse is
the first Side Spring vehicle ever yet pro-
duced without rigid perch, that will not
throw the hind wheels out of track when
one spring is more heavily loaded than
the other, causing the: Wagon to pull
hard through mud or heavy road. There
is positively no side motion to the body
when the weight is more on one side than
on the other.
