We have been anxious to tell our neigh
bors. and everyone else, how well we are
pleased with the Champion Binder bought
of the agent. James b. Holdert,aum We
first thought a light single reaper might I'LL
the hill. but after some consideration we came
Ia the conclusion To buy u binder, which we
did. A. our wheat was very tall and thick.
We concluded with our families that we
could never cut through that wheat, End
when We were ready Ia start the agent came
out and put the machine in good trim, but
some of our neighbors still insisted that we
could not make il. No. sir. the bargain is if
she does not cut and bind il, he must take it
away we won't have il ON the place. But
the machine went through it, and did it
beautifully. too, and if anybody had worse
tangled wheat than that, we don't want to
see it. If any one doubts this statement. ask
our neighbors about it. The machine filled
the bill admirably. We are perfectly salts
fed with il. and think we were wise in Civ
ing our order for a Champion.

To Restore Faded coIors.

The restoration IF color To fabrics which
from one cause or another have deieriprated
IN this respect has suggested To various chem
zeal applications and processes. II has been
customary To employ ammonia for the pur-
pose of neutralizing acids that have acciden-
tally or otherwise destroyed the color of tho
stuff-. this being necessarily applied imme-
diately, or the color is usually imperfectly
restored. An application OF chloroform has
the effect of bringing out the colors bright a.
ever. Plush goods. and all articles dyed with
aniline eolors, faded from exposure 10 light,
resume their original brightness of appear
ance after being Sponged with ehioruform (;
the commercial chloroform. which il less
costly than the purified, answers well for this
purpose.
