fEtHE opening sales of our new and improved
Il SuNF1sH PLow were far beyond our most
sanguine expectation. and its praise has been
sounded far and wide for quality of work and
liShtness of draft Our business has not
been confined to this and adjoining counties,
but we are receiying orders from abroad
Furlncrs arc learning not to buy poor imple-
mcnt because it is cheap, but get the best and
gain in good crops. There are several good
points in our Plow. which commend it above
all others. In the first place. it is made of the
very best material, and secondly. it is
Wrought Pillow. and can he repaired by any
ordinary workman, and at a less cost; thirdly,
it cuts off the land level below before com
inencing 10 turn the furrow. thereby. leaving
the ground to get the full benefit of rainfall.
while other plOws trough it out, leaving the
water to follow the trough. 1t can be adjusted
To nicely TO cut any desired width of fnrrow
works easy with two or three horses. Try the
Plow. We don't give Chrome with each
PlOw. but we do give satisfaction. Our Three

Read few of orr Testimonials. Also many
others on file at our office:
DANIEL. HEFIEBowER says: have tested
the light Sunfish Pillow that l purchased
of you and find it up to all the requirements;
light in draft, easily adjusted. and the only
pillow / ever that will follow equally as
well two or three horses. want no more cast
plows.
CHARLES Z. TIMBERLAKE says: The i'm
proved two thrcc-hOrse Sunfish PlOw
got of you Con triulD this Spring proves to be
equal 10 all you claim for it. and more /
piowcd piece of new ground with three horses
hiched to il. that were altogether too fast. but
it was equal to it, and came out with colOrs
flying.
p. O'BRIEx. of Halltown. says: I take
pleasure in saying that the New Pillow, pur
chased of you this Spring. gave entire satisfac
ton. The peculiar quality of the soil which
have to pillow makes It necessary to have moth
ing but the very hes; pillow to do the work.
l.. K. BOYD. of KaDletown, says: | will
say in regard to your New Piow that it is the
best have ever used-wOrks easy to- both man
and horses. and Is jnst what you want for hard
ground. and is the cheapest to keep in order.
JOSEPH L. EICHELBERGEK says: Received
your note the other day. and raw in re-
gard tn the Plnw that it is all that could be de-
sired light Of draft. and does its work well.
and is in my judgement mncl! better Plow
than any of those light Plows from the North
and West that are shipped here by the car
load. Farmers had better spend their money
at home ava encourage home manufacturers.
&. W. SNYDER Mddleway. SAYS: like your
Piuw both for two or three horses. aud have
never seen any better. 1t can lie kept in order
with less expense than any have ever used.
1t cuts tine ground off before it turs it. there
by making level surface below. There is
where it heats ether rinws.
EUDoLPn RAU. of Rnlivar. says: - am
mUcl pleased with the Pillow. | think the
New Pillow superior t" the Oh Sunlish. in fact
it docs more and h,.ttcr work than any Pillow
ever had on my farm. viii call aud see You
about another of same pattern.

How They Grew Rich.
lFtom.the. wheeling Register.

% How to. Grow Rich is the title
Of an article taken from, the St. Louis
Republican and published this morn
ing. 1t is . review of the methods
by which, the industrial States of the
Union have grown rich off the labors
of the agricultural States. Within
the last twenty years the revenue
policy of the nation has been almost
entirely shaped to that end. Excess
sive taxation of the necessaries of
life has made one favored section
rich and powerful at the expense of
the people at large.
The Republican says: "The in
dustrial States have not only shaped
the revenue policy of the government
for the benefit of their manufacturing
interests, but they have been equally
successful in shaping the financial
policy of the, government, also for
the speciaf benefit of their monetary
interests. There was, not financial
measure taken by the government
from 1862 to 1885 with single nota-
BILE exception, that was not dictated
or suggested by them; and it may
be inferred that they made no small
amount of money by it,
To-day nine Eastern States hold
mortgages on Western and Southern
farm lands and improvements to the
value of over SIS, 500, 900. hearing an
annual interest of S1S0,000, 000.-
The Hartford Insurance companies
alone hold $4,000, 900 in Western
farm mortgages, and the loan COM
panies of Boston hold even a greater
amount. This unequal distribution
of national wealth is the direct re-
suit of ubiquitous revenue and finan-
cial policies.
Thanks to a Democratic admins
tration, the financial policy has been
changed. The revenue iniquity still
continues. Daily ii takes from the
pockets of the poor to put into the
pockets of the rich. 1t taxes the
consumer on every article of pur-
chase, the implements of his toll. his
clothing and his food, while the pro-
tccted producer accumulatcs an I'M
earned fortune.
The record of twenty years eXpe-
rience is plain. National wealth is
accumulated and concentrated in a
favored locality. 1t is time to de-
mand a change.

WlNTERING STOCK.
A Question which Ought tn lie settled BE-
fore Cold Weather Comes.

This is n very important question 20
be settled upon every farm, and il
should be settled in fall. Why AT this
time? Simply because each farmer
for himself should make an accurate
invoice of the food in sight upon the
farm, and, II he does not intend 10 buy
more, he should thin the live stock
down so that the number to be kept
may tally properly with the food pro-
vided for the approaching winter
months. Sto,k sold in the fall, when
In good condition, just of grass, will
generally bring fair prices. and it will
bc found TO be materially better to err
in ones estimate in the direction OF
having a surplus Of feed than in hav-
ing "A surplus OF cattle at the close OF
the winter The feed will bc salablc,
while the cattle hardly will bc SO cx-
ccpt at the buyers own low figures.
Feed If not sold, II prudcntly taken
care OF, will keep, while the loss Of
one beast or material shrinkage on
nll should settle the question with
every farmer rs to repeating this ruin
ous sort OF livestock husbandry.
When men cast about toward spring
for the purpose Of buying their cattle,
they know very well that the intending
buyer occupies in this case the posi-
tion Of the intending seller who has
good cattle well fed. In other words,
within certain limits he can dictate
terms.
Depression in livestock interest has
an opposite effect 10 what IL should
have. ! refer TO the almost invariablo
neglect OF animals on the farm when
prices range low. Under these cir
cumstances it is only the best that arc
readily salable. When merchant
has line oi goods that sell at sight
are in active dcmand-hc is Indifferent
as TO whether he keeps them under
the counter or on top displayed at
their best, while such as are not in de-
mand require TO bee brushed up and put
in an attractive form. Hence, farm
animals Of every sort can receive their
proper deserts by being carefully as
sorted, divided into classes according
TO the feeding capacities Of each, and
stabbed with care, or in n measure in
differently, ms they show more or less
sensitivcncss and tendency TO shrink
on exposure. A shed open TO the
south Is more TO some beasts than
warm stable is TO others, and II the
average farmer would discriminate
between his beasts as he does between
his potatoes and certain sorts OF fruit,
rs TO their capacity TO stand cold, he
will have taken a step in ADVANCE
