Ed. Register-
For once we are having an old fash
ioned rainy day. We have not been
wholly without rain lately but have
not had enough TO replenish the wells
or render plowing easy. An immense
acreage of wheat is being sown, but the
obdurate drouth prevented blowing
and what was broken required great
deal of hard labor with harrow, drag
and roller, to reduce the soil to prop
er condition for seeding. The farmers
used to cons ider wheat raising here q
matter of mere luck; and 80 it was, on
account of the careless manner In
which they threw the wheat at the
soil; but they have learned, from a
very dear experience, that those who
thoroughly prepare the soil, and care
fully drill in the choicest seed, stand
far the best chance for q good cr0p OF
wheat. Some beautiful wheat drille,
in which the latest improvements are
combined, are now to be seen. must
make especial mention of one, because
I think it peculiarly suited to your sec
ton; though / believe 1t will soon be-
come the drill every where. Six steel
runners, with hollow heels, just like
those on . corn planter, are set side by
side, nine inches apart from center to
center; behind these Is an axle, upon
which are six wheels, about 20 inches
in diameter, and with q tire II inches
broad, that follow the runners, and
press the earth upon the seed, and on
this account the machine Is commonly
called press-drill. The seat IL arrang-
ed to slide backward and forward, 50
that the depth can be regulated by bal
ancing the drivers weight with the
of seed in the box. This seat
il on one end of lever. the other end
being attached to the runners, and the
axle being the fulcrum, thus introduc-
ing another corn planter feature; and
the runners are lifted in turning just ~
the planter is worked. There are also
stirrups, and stops, for regulating
depth Of seeding. A lever at the right
Of the driver throws the gearing in and
out. The feed Is forced by auger-like
screws, and the seed falls from the box

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb 'thus writes in
the Boston Christian Freeman:
wouldseby no means recommend any
kind of medicine which we did not
know to be good-particularly for
infants. But of Mrs. Winslow's Sooth-
ing Syrup we can speak from know
ledge; in our own family it has proved
a blessing indeed, by giving an infant
troubled with collie pains, quiet sleep,
and the parents unbroken rest at night.
Most parents can appreciate these
blessings. Here is an article which
works to perfection, and which is
harmless; for the sleep which it affords
the infant is perfectly natural, and the
little cherub awakes as ''bright as a
button" And during the process of
teething, its value is lncalculable. We
have frequently heard mothers say
that they would not be without it from
the birth of the child till it had finish
ed with the teething siege, on any con-
whatever. Sold by all
