IMPORTANT TO FARMERS. 



1 will furnish eggs for batching from my finely bred 

 stock of Light Brahmas, on coudi ion that I will be allowed 

 to select at the i.ge of six m.ntha one- half of the chicks 

 raised. This is an excellent opportunity for farmers to 

 impiove their stock, as Light Brahmas are the heaviest and 

 largest of all tue varieties of fowls, arc the best of winter 

 layers, and hare no equal for crossing -with the common 

 stock. Farmers desiring to avail themselves of this offer 

 oan address j. b, LICHTY,

Sale of Full -Blooded Stock. 



On Thursday, March 4, 1«80, Mr, A, M. Ranck, 

 of Bird-in-Hand, will oflTer for sale a lot of fine 

 blooded stock. There are twelve head of thorough- 

 bred short horn cows and heifers, and seven head 

 of thorough-bred short horn bulls. He has, also, 

 one grade cow, two grade heifers, a pair of first- 

 class mules and three draft and driving horses. 

 Mr, Ranck has paid special attention for years in 

 getting good stock, and as advertised, it is all 

 full-blooded. It would be better for our farmers 

 if they paid more attention to improving their 

 etock, and this sale of short horns gives them a 

 splendid opportunity to do so. That it pays to 

 keep good stock instead of common, ha^ been 

 demonstrated too often for us to attempt to do it 

 DOW, and again we would advise farmers to at- 

 tend his sale. He has Issued catalogues giving the 

 pedigree of the various animals for sale, and will 

 send them to any one who applies. 



The Cooley Creamer. 



This method of "deeji-setting of milk" is coming 

 Into so general use, that at the recent daii-y fair 

 in New York, it was not shown as a "novelty," 

 but took its place as a common and indispensable 

 adjunct to the dairy. With a Cooley Creamer a 

 xlairyman is entirely independeut of the weather, and 

 his product is uniform at all times. It is in this, as 

 well as iu its convenieuce, that the Cooley process of 

 setting milk commends itselfto all who make but- 

 ter. 



From our foreign exchanges we infer that it has 

 been quite extensively introduced into use in Great 

 Britain, — Albany Cotmtry Gentleman. Feb-4m,
