Pure White Winter-Wheat. 
All things considered, rind ou good, clean, rich, dry land, 
the D IEHL is the best variety of WHITE Wheat now grown. 
The straw Is very stiff, the head very plump and fall, and 
the yield on good land eminently satisfactory. The greatest 
difficulty we navy experienced with it is to get pure seed. 
It is almost impossible to find ic unmixed With Mediterra- 
nean and other red varieties. For some years past, many 
readers oi the American Agriculturist have written to uic 
for seed, but I have never been able to get any that I 
thought pure. I have now, however, the pleasure of stating 
that 1 raised this year ten acres of DIEIIL WHEAT that 
is the PUREST I have ever seen, and I can send it out with 
confidence. 
I will send four pounds by mail, prepaid, tq any uddress, 
on receipt of ONE DOLLAR. 
I will send by express or as freight, at tin- following rates; 
K bushel $3 00 
1 buBhel ."-00 
2 bushels 9 00 
6 bushels 25 00 
10 bushels 40 00 
Larger quantities at the same rate, or $1 per bushel. 
The Wheat will be put in strong, new bags, carefully 
directed, and delivered at express office or freight-house 
without any extra charge. 
Orders will be filled Immediately. Address

TAYLOR'S HORSE AND CATTLE FOOD

swine. It gives a good appetite, acts on the kidneys, de- 
stroys worms, and gives a glossy coat. Stage proprietors, 
dairymen, farmers, stock dealers, and other reliable gentle* 
men have given it a thorough trial, and say it is the best 
article they have ever used for putting and for keeping stock 
in a good, healthy condition.
