Hard f^ttrslion to .Answer A western pape"" 



puts the riillowing: "Suppose a canal boat heads 

 west-iior'-vvest a[id has the wind aheam, with a 

 flaw coming up in tlie South : would tlie captain, 

 according to maritime law, be justified in taking 

 a reef in the stove-pipe without asking the cook ?" 



We should think it would depend a great deal 

 upon what they had for dinner on board, says the 

 New Orleans Picayune. 



Jlnother. — A travelling lecturer having stated 

 that he was ready to answer any (juestion that 

 might be asked him, a Kentuckian desired to know 

 " how much it cost per week to ' paster' Nebuchad- 

 nezzar during the time he was out to grass." 



Fashion in Spelling. — "Why, mother, almost 

 every word in John's letter is spelt wrong. You 'd 

 not have ine marry such a man, surely ?" 



" La ! child, I suppose that 'a the way they spell 

 in the place where he lives. There are different 

 fashions in spelling as well as in other things."

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements h.ave been maile the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as lo lot/ the Jyrrow completely oi^cr, 

 turning in every •particle of grass or stubble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible wanner. The length of the 

 mould board has he n very much increased, so that ihe 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect In 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as lo which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy to wcirk, 

 try Prouty & Meats, but if your landis heavy, hard orrocl.y, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



Al the above mentioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more iDork, with the same pcnrer of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than IwentyseveB 

 and one half inches, to the ll'2 lbs. draught, while ihe 

 Howard Plough turned ticentt/nine and one half inches, to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having lo furnish a new landside: ihis shoe likewise secures 

 the mould hoard and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 toSl5. A Plough, 

 sufficieut for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 *:o 60, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 BO 

 extra. 



The aliove Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New Knaland Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 61 & 52 North Market Street, by
