1t is to the interest Of oyery planter
and stock owner that his horses, mules
and cattle be constantly provided with
an adequate supply Of fresh water, and
this dcsideratum is assured by the use of
that admirable apparatus known as
Croft's Improved Iron Wind Engine.
Through inadvertence, lazincss or other
cause hostlers may often neglect to keep
tho drink ing troughs filled, or allow
stagnant water to remain in them, thus
inficting suffering and injury upon tho
stock under their care, but this ingenious
mechanics, continuance never fails in its
important duty. Messrs. G. 3. Rcuss d
Co., Of No. AZ Union street, New Orleans,
are general Southern agents for tho
engine and will gladly furnish all de-
sired information relative to its cost,
working, ctc. One Of the Croft engines
has been III uso on tho Germania planta-
ton in this parish during the past six
mouths and has given the most perfect
satisfaction. Every plantation and
stock farm should have one.
