MISCELLANEOUS. 



Fine Engravings. 

 We have received from George Sliuson & Co., Art 

 Publishers, Portlaud, Maiue, a proof copy of the 

 maKiiitieent steel ensravinj; "La .Madonna," after 

 the celebrated painting by J. Sant; also a proof copy 

 of a fine work of high art representing "Italy"— the 

 land of art and music. This enirraving is after a 

 painting by the renowned artist Mr. K. H. Pclham. 

 in our opinion these fine works of high art belong in 

 the front rank, and are equal to any ever brought 

 out by American Publishers. The plates were en- 



f raved in London for Messrs. Stinson & Co, by Mr. 

 .Bromley and C. Tompkins, two of the foremost 

 engravers in the world, at an expense of two thou- 

 sand pounds sterling, or ten thousand dollars. 



This house publishes all dcseri|)tlon8 of fine 

 pictures. Those who wish to beautify their homes 

 at moderate expense, should send for tlieir Art Cat- 

 alogue. 



Comsumption Cured. 



An old physician, retired from practice, having had 

 placed in his hands liy an East Indian missionary the 

 formula of a simple vegetable remedy for the speedy 

 and permanent cure for Consumption, Bronchitis, 

 Catarrh, Asthma, aud all Tliroat!and Lung Affec- 

 tions, also a positive aud radical cure for Nervous 

 Debility and all Nervous Complaints, after having 

 tested its wonderful curative powers in thousands of 

 cases, has felt it his duty to make it known to his 

 suflering fellows. Actuated by this motive and a 

 desire to relieve human suffering, I will send free of 

 charge to all who desire it, this recipe, iu German, 

 French, or English, with full directions for prepar- 

 ing aud using. Sent by mail by addressing with

The Poultry Exhibition. 

 The first annual exhibition of the Lancaster County 

 Poultry Aasociation will be held in Lancaster, in 

 Locher's building. Centre Square, on the 3d, 'Ad, 5th, 

 6th and 7th days of January, 1880. Tl)ere will be 

 five hundred dollars offered in premiums and this 

 should certainly be an inducement to all who own 

 fine poultry to put it on exhibition. This is the first 

 effort of the Association aud we trust that they will 

 receive such encouragement as should be given to 

 them. On and after November 15th the premium 

 lists will be ready for distribution and can be had on 

 application to the Secretary, J. B. Liehty, Lancas- 

 ter, ?a. From ttie interest now manifested in the 

 exhibition we have proof that it will certainly be a 



Zahm's Corner. 



As the holiday season is approaching and our 

 readers are thinking of the presents they intend to 

 buy for their friends, we desire to call attention to 

 the full line of Jewelry, Silverware, Watches, etc., 

 for sale by E.J. Zahm, Zahm's corner, Lancaster, 

 Pa. Their advertisement appears in another column 

 of The F.^kmer, but they cannot in that tell our 

 readers of all the magnificent goods they have 

 suitable for presents, and the best plan will be when 

 you want to buy anything in their line to call and 

 see them. They will not allow themselves to ba 

 undersold, and their stock of Jewelry, etc. is as good 

 as the best. 



Fearless Railway Threshing Machine. 



We call the attention of farmers and threshermen 

 to the advertisement of the Fearless Horse-Power 

 and Thresher and Cleaner, elsewhere in this number 

 of our paper. This machine is the only one that 

 received an Award on both Horse-Power and 

 Thresher and Cleaner at the Centennial Exhibition, 

 Philadelphia, and ranks as best of its class. An Ex- 

 President of the New York State Agricultural Soci- 

 ety said of Harder's Machines, "they are the best 

 ever made," and the same testimony has been borne 

 by equally good authority time and again. 



For further information send to Minard Harder, 

 'Cobleskill, N. Y. 



A Natural Fertilizer. 



In another column of The Farmer is the adver- 

 tisement of D. P. Bitner, who is the agent for Lan- 

 caster county of "Fossil Marl of New Jersey." It 

 is claimed that it is rich in dissolved bones, phos- 

 phoric acid, potash, and enriches every variety of 

 soil, and insures good crops of wheat, corn, potatoes, 

 vegetables and fruit. It is an excellent change for 

 land after the continued use of lime, and the price is 

 very low in comparison with other manures. Its 

 history, analysis, application to different soils and 

 crops, testimonials and other information regarding 

 Its uses, will be given on application to the agent. 

 lOur farmers should call to see him in regard to it. 



Furniture. 

 One subscribers iu need of anything In the furni- 

 ture line, would do well to call on WIdmyer cfc Uick- 

 secker, corner of East King and Duke streets. They 

 have on hand a very large stock of furniture of all 

 kinds and styles to select from and at such prices as 

 can defy competition. They are an old firm, reliable 

 and whatever representations are made In their es- 

 tablishment the buyer can depend on as being correct. 

 Any one desiring any kind of furniture should call 

 and see their stock and prices before purchasing. 



Bicycle Tournament. 

 On Saturday, November 1st, there will be on the 

 grounds of the Agricultural Park Association, a 

 grand Bicycle Tournament, Velocipede Itace and 

 Balloon Ascension. Prof. Lippott, who Is the mana- 

 ger, and who managed the last one, which was so 

 great a success, is sparing no expense to make No- 

 vember 1st a "Grand Jubilee Day." The low rates 

 of admission, 10 and 15 cents, makes it within the 

 reach of all, and any one goiugcau feel assured that 

 they can spend a very plea^iaut afternoon at the Park
