AGRICULTURAL.-The Limckiln club. saws
the Detroit Free Press, appointed a commit
tee to whom they intrusted the query from
Indiana Are we advancing the Agricul
tnre." The committee reported that they
had spent seven weeks in investigating the
matter, and were quite ready to answerin the
affirmative. Among other instances of
progress in agriculture might be mentioned
that of hoeing corn. A dozen years ago the
plan was to lean the hoe against a stump in
the field and go off fishing 1t is now done
by giving chattel mortgage on three steers
and hiring neighbor to do the work Ten
years ago turnips were heaped up in the
barn or cellar and supposed to be fit food for
only cows and calves. To-day they are care
fully wrapped in tissue paper, laid in bereau
drawers, and are considered a fit diet for
even Senator. When wiped off with a
dish cloth and scraped with butcher knife
they furnish very bracing enervating diet.
Progress has been made in blowing, drag
ging, reaping, and many other particulars,
and the committee felt safe in saying that
the time was not far distant when the farm
er could sit in an armchair in lager beer
saloon and raise 60 bushels of wheat to the
acre.

in favor of a reduction Of taxes, but when Mr..
Conrad, democratic member of the House Of

reduce the State tax from fifty to forty cents on

:HoW WATCHES ARE MADE.

1t will be apparent to any one, who will
examine SOLID GOLD WATCH, that aside
from the necessary thickness for engraving
and polishing, large proportion of the
precious metal used is needed only to stiffen
and hold the engraved portions in place and
supply the necessary solidity and strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless so far
as utility and beauty are concerned. In
JAMES BOSS PATENT GOLD WATCH
CASES, this waste of precious metal is over
come, and the SAME soLIDrTY AND STRENGTH
produced at from one third to one-half of the
usual cost of solid cases. This process is of
the most simple nature, as follows: a plate
of nickle composition metal, especially
adapted to the purpose, has two plates OF
SOLID GOLD soldered one on each side The
three are then passed between polished steel
rollers, and the result is strip of heavy
plated composition, from which the cases.
backs. centres, bezels, &C., are cut and
shaped by suitable dies and formers. The
gold in these cases is sufficiently thick to adj
init of all kinds of chasing, engraving and
enamelling; the engraved cases have been
carried until worn perfectly smooth BY time
and use without removing the gold.
THIS is THE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL GER
TIFICATE.
