A New Safety Razor— The Christy Hoe- 

 Price, Including Six Blades, $1.50. 



In designing the "Hoe" safety razor 

 the aim has been to overcome all faults 

 that other safety razors have, and so 

 successful have been the efforts that a 

 novice can shave the first time without 

 practice, annoyance, or inconvenience. 



Unlike all other safety razors, the 

 "Hoe" requires no adjusting of the 

 blades. It's self-adjusting; there are no 

 troublesome springs, hinges, or screws 

 to arrange. You can not put a blade in 

 the "Hoe" wrong if you try to. It is 

 eafcily done in a moment ; there is no 

 chance for a mistake. 



In their efforts to make a razor that can be used 

 with convenience, makers have overlooked one fea- 

 ture of the utmost importance, viz., the handle. This 

 part of every razor on the market is a serious incon- 

 venience in shaving, necessitating a cramped position 

 of the hand at almost every angle. 



The handle of the " Hoe " has the length necessary 

 to be easily grasped and enable one to hold at the 

 proper angle in all positions, and perfectly balanced. 



Guard —This is one of the most important features 

 of a safety razor, forming, as it does, the protection 

 from the edge of the blade, all makers using practic- 

 ally the same form, and, until the invention of the 

 Christy Comb Guard, no particular efforts have been 

 made to perfect it. In the Christy Oomb Guard the 

 teeth of the guard point toward the blade. It is so 

 designed as to leave the edge of the blade free with a 

 clear space for lather to pass through upon the top of 

 blade just like, and with all the advantages of, an 

 ordinary razor. 



The heart and life of a razor is the blade. The pro- 

 cess used in making the blades of the " Hoe " razor is 

 absolutely new, producing blades of uniform temper, 

 and lasting cutting quality, and is a wide departure 

 from the usual method. Every blade warranted per- 

 fect. 



The strop is an item to be considered in the cost of 

 a razor, most makers charging 75 cts. to $1.50 extra for 

 the same. 



Without extra charge, the case in which the Hoe 

 Safety Razor is packed is supplied with an especially 

 prepared strop, securely fastened to the top of case.

TWO NEW BOOKS BY THE O. JUDD CO. 



The first one is entitled " Diseases of Swine," by Prof. 

 Robert A. Craig. It is of the utmost importance that 

 our farming community should be able to treat domestic 

 animals, when diseased, in a sensible and scientific way; 

 and it is high time that old notions and superstitions 

 were set aside in favor of intelligent and scientific 

 treatment. This book, just from the press, is fully up 

 to the times, and ought to be in the hands of every fam- 

 ily that keeps even a single pig. 



The other book, "Profitable Dairying," is a volume 

 similar in size; and when I tell you that a considerable 

 part of it is devoted to giving a minute description of 

 the far-famed model dairy farm of the Rev. J. T. Diet- 

 rich, near Philadelphia. I presume I have said almost 

 enough in favor of the book. The farm in question was 

 fully discussed in Gleanings about a year ago or more. 

 Let me repeat briefly. On this farm of 15 acres, where, 

 20 years ago, it would not maintain one horse and two 

 cows, there are now kept 2T dairy cattle in addition to 

 two horses. Surely every one interested in caring for 

 cattle can afford 75 cts. to get the full particulars of 

 this interesting story about "high- pressure "/or »nji 3. 

 Each book contains nearly 200 pages. The price is 75 

 cts. postpaid. They can be sent from this oflice.
