In Conclusion, Let Me
Say That I Would Not
Pretend to Farm Without It.

CEVEN YEARS ago, Mr.. w. Holmes
y Hardin, of Chester county, enjoyed
the distinction Of being one Of the most
practical and successful farmers in the
Piedmont section, and according to the
best information at hand he still ranks
among the first. The appended endorse
ment of the Corbin Disk Harrow was
written by him in March, 1890, and what
he said then we are sure he will endorse
now. Read it and do some thinking:
CHESTER, s. c., March 81, 1890.
SAM NJ. GRIST, Yorkville, S. c.: Dear
Sir: have owned Corbin Disk Harrow
for several years, and consider 1t the most
useful and economical farming imple-
ment of which I have any knowledge.
Mr.. Corbin has done more for the farmer
than all the politicians, reformers, etc.,
combined. He has done something prac-
tical. No farmer can fail to be benefited
by the use of the Harrow, and the more it
is used the greater the benefit or profit.
It is almost the only so-called improved
farming implement that l have ever seen
that would do all its manufacturers claim
ed for it, and the only one that would do
more. Every farmer should have one,
and man who is able to buy fertilizers
for his land is more able to buy Corbin
Disk Harrow. The time will come when
the COrDln DlSk f1dTTOW Will w COuSiutI-
ed as much of necessity on the farm as
the wagon, sewing machine, cooking
stove, and might say, the plow and the
sooner it comes the better for the farmer.
1t only takes a farmer, who has been ac-
customed to the old way of doing things,
about one hour to realize how much time
and labor he has literally wasted before
he used the Corbin Harrow. In conclu-
sion, let me say that would not pretend
to farm without it. Respectfully,
w. HOLMES HARDIN.
We sell the G ENUINE CORBIN DISK
HARROW. 1t has never had q success
ful rival. If you want so-called Spad-
ing or Cutaway, we can furnish you one
made by the manufactures Of the Corbin.
The Corbin has solid disks and they are
the best but as stated we can furnish the
other if you prefer to take the opinion OF
someone who has had less experience than
we, and will furnish the best harrow of
that pattern on the market. It's mechan-
ism is identically the same as the Co rbin,
the only difference being in the disks.

SEEING AND KNowING.-An emf
nent lord chief justice, who was trying
a right of way case, had before him
witness-an old farmer-who was pro-
ceediug to tell the jury that he had
"knowed the path for 60 yeer, and my
feyther tould I as he heerd my grand
father zay"-
"Stop!" said the judge, 1--WE can't
have any hearsay evidence here"
"Not I" exclaimed Farmer Giles
"Then how dest thou know who thy
feyther was 'cept by hearsay ?"
After the laughter had subsidized the
Judge said "In courts of law we can
only be guided by what you have seen
with your eyes, and nothing more OF
less" -.
"Oh, that be blowed for tale !!
replied the farmer. 81 ha' got bile
on the back of my neck and l never
seed 'un, but l be prepared to swear
that he's there, dang 'un !"
This second triumph on the part oi
the witness set in torrent of hearsay
evidence about the footpath which
obtained weight with the jury, albeit
the judge told them it was not testi'
mony of any value, and the farmers
party won.-Irish Times.
