20 acres in the fall, the balance SO

sacks on the wagon then strap your
broad cart sower on behind and in a
half day you have your oates sowed,
run over it with the pulveriserin the
afternoon and that ends the oats
sowing.
Now comes the plowing for corn

Springfield March |, 1889. BLACK silk warp Henriettas. Finest of pure silk; choicest clip of Australian wool The silk gives strength to the wool :; the wool lends softuess to the silk. They go to the dye.vats in the natural gray i; can exac'ly match them a year afterwards.
 Priestley, the famous English maker of silk-warp dress stuffs, is 80 eager after ex- cellence as to say-"No amount of compe- tition will indnce me to lower the standard of quality"
 It is safe to say, then, that Priestiey is the best maker of silk-warp Henriettas in the world.
 The richness of silk warp Henrietta is partly due to the graceful rounding of it's drapery, and partly to the singular gleam and mysterious luster of it's silk. We say mysterious. Doubtless the luster comes of the silk and yet the silk is invisible, covered with wool but the gleam is un- mistakable. You can faintly see through it. The silk, then, which is in the mid : dle of it, cannot be wholly invisible. Its light escapes from the intellectual gloom {; but it is the softened light of star-dust, not the piercing ray of the diamond.
 The popular pricas begin at $l 9 a yard. There are several lower grades, and several higher-90c. up. The -wid h is about the same in all-40 inch.
