 The old methods are wholly unsuited to the new order of things, of which in- creased production. larger profits, and the adoption of improved processes are characteristic features.
 To meet this prevailing want, the Booswsster Steam Engine has been pro duceG aad is especially adaptel for use CT pla4 tations, for such purposes as gin- ring cotton, grinding corn, and many o.ller p;,rposes that will suggest them seive1 to any one who desires to keep up with the new order of things and make a profit on his product.
