THE

White Sewing Machine.
ITS HISTORY AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
For nearly twenty years prior to
1875 the members Of this company
had been engaged in the manufact-
ure of sewing machines, principally
under contract with other persons
or companies, to and by whom, the
sale Of their goods was controlled in
this and foreign countries.
In the spring of 1876 an oppor-
tunity was offered to, and readily
accepted by, the members of the
company, whereby they sold all their
old machinery, tools, patterns, etc.,
to company that was DESTROYS to
manufacture for itself:
During the negotiations of this
sale new machine and new COM
pany were conceived; and, stalking
our reputation as manufacturers, and
our prospects Of success, on the
quality of our productions, we
launched the White Shuttle Sewing
Machine upon the market, and made
our first shipment in August, 1876.
With this brief summary of histo-
ry we would simply state a few facts:
1t is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands
pre-eminent among first-class ma
chimes, for it's simplicity and light
running qualities. 1t is a mechanical
fact that the White Sewing Machine
is made from the best material and
Of excellent workmanship, and allits
wearing parts are adjustable, so that
lost motion can be ''taken III" in an
instant. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the durability Of the White Sewing
Machine is sustained by a written
| warranty for five years. It is pro-
gressive fact that the White embo-
dies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing ma
chimes, together with advantages
peculiarly its own.
1t is a gratifying fact that the
White gives universal satisfaction,
and that it is steadily and rapidly
increasing in public favor. This
fact is further substantiated by the
following statement of sales, made
the third year of it's existence,
amounting to 54,833 machines. No
other machine ever had such rec
ord Of popularity. For sale by J. A.
WALTERS, agent for none, but
dealer in all frst-class sewing ma
chimes; also pianos and organs.

PREVENTING sCAB IN POTATOES.

A farmers wife, writing to the Country
Gentlemen gives the following hints in re-
gard to preventing scabby potatoes
"Housewives dislike the scabby, scurvy
potatoes. that have in the latter davs been
so common. They do not look nice, they
are Wasteful. and there is nothing pleasant
about them. Still we scrape and wash, and
wash aud strape, for baked potatoes are a
real laxury, and we do not always want
them boiled. The other day friend told
me how to prevent potatoes being so rough
and scabby. Two years before, his brother,
small farmer, fell short of manure, and
set his wits to work to provide cheap sub
stitute. He had manured part OF his po-
tatoes III the hill. He had quantity of
forest leaves that he had used to bank his
house. piled up in the barnyard; so for the
lack of something better, he finished man
uring his potatoes with the leaves These
potatoes grew fully as well; were as large,
and had more blossoms than those manured
from the compost heap. When he harvest
0d them the contrast was more marked,
The potatoes were more uniform in size,
larger and more of them, and they were
perfectly smooth.
Last year he plowed as many loads of
leaves into his ground as if it we've manure,
then he put them into the hill and planted
his potatoes as usual. The result was far
ahead of the preceding year. The pota.
toes yielded splendidly, and not scab was
found on the whole piece; these potatoes
were as smooth and good as potatoes raised
thirty years ago. lie told his brother that
he was not philosophical enough to explain
the reason, bat was satisfied that the decay
lug leaves furnished the right kind of plant
food for potatoes, and that hereafter he
should use it in preference to any other fer
tilizer. and earnestly recommended his
brother to do the same. Will it not be
pleasant to have nice potatoes again? This
method is worth trying at least, as never
knew farmers to have quite manure enough
in the spring.

THE FUTURE FARMER.

The demand for agricultural information
is constantly increasing. The farmer of to-
day is for ahead of the last generation in
everything that insures success and pro-
notes happiness, yet only the first lesson
has been learned-and the future is before
us with all its undiscovered wealth of infor-
nation and its resulting prosperity. We
have only to toll and study, read and ex-
pertinent, reflect and invent to wiring from
the bosom of the earth new treasures and
greater abundance of the old. These will
add to the wealth.. prosperity and happi-
ness of the whole world, and place us in our
proper position in the social scale.
The time is not far distant-its even now
close at hand-when an ignorant farmer
will be a rare avis. We will be so far be-
hind the times that he will lose caste among
his fellows-he will be a black sheep in the
flock and will gradually degenerate to con-
dition of serfdom.
The agriculturist is now rapidly coming
to the frent and taking rank with the intel
ligent and educated of other professions
He will soon be-yes even nova power in

CHARCOAL, LIME AND GRAVEL.

great many feeders of poultry think
that when their birds have liberal supply
OF corn wheat, ground feed and vegetables
that they are we'll supplied. And so they
are, to certain extent, but when they are
confined to small quarters they should also
have little gravel put in with their feed
it helps them to grind their food, and SO di-
gest it.. Laying hens need some substance
to assist them in forming shells to their
eggs. Oyster shells broken up answer this
purpose very well, but it this cannot be had
readily a little air slaked lime or mortar
broken to small pieces will do very nicely.
The value of lime also in the shape of white
wash is we'll known, and those who use if
literally are the ones who.keep their fiocks
healthy, and free to great extent from
lice. 1t is good plan to add little car
bolic acid to the whitewash lice and other
parasites that infest chicken houses don't
seem to like it. Air slaked lime should also.
te occasionally sprinkled on the floor and
in the nests, as it removes the unpleasant
and unhealthy odors that infest those places.
Charcoal should be kept in small box or
can where the fowls can get at it. They.
will eat it with relish and there is no one.
thing that adds SO much to their health as
this.

PURE BRED OR C0MMoN FOWLS.

The pure bred Asiatic fowl weighs from s
to l3 pounds, and some cocks can be push
ed to Is pounds. The Leghorn fowl lays
from 100 to 225 eggs per year and never
wants to set. Admitting the above to be a
fact, l think you can very readily see the
advantage they have over common fowl,
both for market purposes and as egg pro-
ducers. 1t is also satisfaction to have any
thing that you know is choice. Can you
imagine anything more handsome than a
fine flock of say Black Cochns, with their
ricn glossy plumage, or in fact any variety
that breeds true to shape, plumage, etc.
They are more expensive will admit than
they look to be at first glance, but they are
not, and as proof would call your atten-
ton to the tollowing Let two boys take
$40 each, one puth out at s per cent. in
terest; at the end of the year he has $10.sO.
The other buys trio of pure bred fowls.
He gets them early in the spring, and they
begin to lay in March. He sets the eggs
during the months of April, May, June and
July. It is safe to say that the two pullets
will average at least 20 eggs per month ,and
that at least three. quarters of thea will
hatch, and that the same proportion will
grow up to be well developed birds, which
gives him forty-five young birds, and
the three old ones, making forty eight in all.
Supposing these to be Asiatics, they will be
