ANY Pl0w in the World,

we can appeal 10 every farmer who owns n
GlLPlN and is familiar with other Sulky
Flows for the truth Of the following claims to
superiority;
securing qualities, and the most durable Pillow
made.
2. Its power-lift enables youth and old age
and crippled persons to pillow AS well as the
best
,. II requires no expert to start or run II,
saving much expense to dealer and annoy
aRce to farmer.
4. The oncaever varies the depth, levels the
plow al all depths, and raises II out of the
ground, while others cannot be leveled by the
use Of two or more levers
s. The winging device is the simplest aud
most effective, holding the pillow in any de-
sired position
6. The wheels are provided with remova-
bic chilled boxes running on wrought spin
dies, insuring durability.
I. Our sulky rolling cutters are unequaled
having chilled hubs and malleable bearings,
the most durable, strongest and steadiest.
3. The experience OF farmers and various
dvnamomeier tests have proved the Gilpiu
Sulky TO be the lightest draft of any
o. While other sulkies having many spices,
loose joints and a multiplicity of kyers and
changes, soon become worn and rickety, the
Gilpin, compact and strong, will remain firm
for years, and time and use have little or no
effect upon il.
10. There is not another sulky in the market
that is so highly priced by manufacturers, deal
ers and farmers
II. 1t has the strongest testimonials from
80, 900 farmers having them in use from one
to six wears sale more than twice that OF
any other, and proof that II is held in far high
er esteem than any other sulky pillow.
II. The GlI.PlN is the CHEAPEST Sulky
Pillow made. II costs more to build il and
takes more money to buy il, but it will LAST
LONGER, do better work and more OF it than
any other Sulky Plow.
NONE ARE found as cheap as the GGLPlN
when subjected to the true test of satisfaction
in using, lightness of draft entire freedom
from breakaPe, and its great durability.
Ely means of the power-liit on the
Gilpiu Ia patented 9evice) much more work
can be done in day than with any other
pillow, from the time economical in turning
around
LIGHT DRAFT. We fully warrant and
stand ready to prove, with dynamometer to
test same, that our pin Sulky Plow will
carry man and draw lighter than any riding
or walking pillow cutting and turning an equal
amount OF ground.
CHALLENGE. We hereby challenge
any Riding or Walking Flows to test drafts
with us. Victorious in all trials, receiving as
it did the First Premium at the last Rockville
Fair

the justly known Great Premium Vansher Of

The Milk When in the Udder.

But few persons fully understand the
functions of the udder, and there are
not many who comprehend how intr-
cate the mechanism or how delicate the
entire structure. The opening in the
lower end of the teat is closed by an
elastic band which retains the milk so
long as the udder is not over-distended,
in which case the stretched band allows
the milk to escape, drop by drop, as in
overlooking the udder to make n show.
There is an enlarged cavity in the mid
die of the teat. At the top of the teats
there is valve or diaphragm separa-
ting an oval cavity above from smaller
one below, having an opening the size
of pea. The oval reservoirs above
vary from the size of hens egg to that
of a turkeys egg.
From the little reservoirs at
the top of the teats are tubes
running in different directions
throughout each gland, which are often
cut off by smaller reservoirs distributed
all through the glands. These minute
reservoirs are more abundant and
larger in the lower and outer parts of
each lobe, diminishing in size and fire.
queocy as they rise toward the upper
part. They vary in size from hick-
orynut TO PIN head, the majority
being the size of beans orpeas, and de-
crease till they disappear in the upper
part of the udder. The tubes ramify
and anastomose like arteries. The ends
of the tubes are also supplied with
valves or diaphragms similar to those
at the tops of the teats. In the center
of the udder and between the four
glands is large and strong tendon
l., Al 4 4
and passes down between the four
glands or lObes, where it soon divides
up into branches like the brush of
broom corn, which again divides and
subdivides till the threads become too
fine to follow with the unaided eve.
The overlooking of the udder from
neglect or from excessive secretion
causes the ligaments to sag or stretch.

THE DAIRY.

Tho general purpose cow" lots
OF milk, plenty of butter, big calves.
and heaps of beef, don't reconcile we'll
with the natural philosophy where it
wisely teaches that 1.-TWO bodies can
not occupy the same space at the same
time. N. Y. Herald.
--Cheese-factory owners cannot DO
too careful not 10 put their cheese in
too low boxes. A buyer in Chicago
writes describing how a shipment of 400
boxes were nearly ruined by being thus
boxed. The shipper probably thought
TO save little on the cost of boxes and
lost hundred times as much i'm injury
to his cheese. - Western Rurdl
If you do not get as good price
for your butter rs some one else does,
you may count that there are nine
chances out of ten that the fault lies
with you and not with the purchaser,
remarks an exchange. Really choice
butter is not so plenty but that any one
who makes n really first-class article
can easily obtain the highest market
price. 1t is very natural for one to-
think that their butter is just as good as
their neighbours, but If the neighbours
brings higher price it will pay to try
and improve the quality little.
Every year the line is being drawn
more closely about dairy products, and
each succeeding year brings an in
creased demand for strictly hrst-class
grades, and weaker demand for the
poorer ones. In all probability the time
is not far distant when it will be almost
impossible to dispose of poor butter at
all, except as grease and at grease
prices. Notwithstanding all that is said
against imitation butter, il is truth that
the meanest, filthest imitation of all is
made from genuine cows milk, but in
such n slovenly, incompetent manner
that all value and trace of genuineness
has been eliminated. Farmers Re-
CteU.
There is limit to skill in the dairy.
Skill may improve many things bout
the butter and the cheese, but comm on
sense will indicate that inferior cows,
half fed, and that of poor descriptions,
will not furnish milk that can be relied
upon to make an article of full quality,
or even prime goods 1t needs better
cling high quality offats in the milk,
TO make gilt edged butter. The COM
mon sense part relates to the selection
and feeding, as well as the care of the
cows, and the skill relates to the manu-
facture of the finished product. The
elements of good butter are found first
in the milk. and no after-skil in manu-
facture can supply them. There may
be various tricks of the trade resorted
to cover up or disguise defects, but
they are not of or parts of good,
prime, sound butter. -iSaCasndh NetOS.
