ISIXG PAPER AS A VALVE, 
THE FINEST INSTRUMENT OF THE KIND IN THE WORLD. 
Improved Automatic Shut-off and Double .Expression S*vell, Four¬ 
teen Notes; Full Sized Deeds, and Five "Very Powerful Bellows. 
The Simplest Mechanical Musical Instrument now in the Market. 
In response to the almost universal demand from our customers for a very powerful, simple, low* 
priced, and yet attractive instrument, we have produced the “ORGAM1TA.” This in- 
I strument has 14 notes or reeds, the same as all other similar instruments, (except our Organinas, 
1 which have 16) and is more simple in construction, more attractive in design, and much 
' louder and more melodious than other instruments using paper as a valve. Our Organitas 
hare a fine black walnut case, handsomely decorated, five very powerful bellows, full sized 
Cabinet Organ reeds, an improved automatic shut off, (which prevents the disagreeable noise 
heard in all other similar instruments when the end of the tune passes over the reeds), and a most ingenious and effective double 
expression swell, by means of which the tune is greatlv varied. We obtain an effect from this instrument, owing to the 
peculiar position of the reeds and the construction of the expression box, almost equal to a regular valve instrument, and 
far superior to any other instrument using paper as a valve. Our Organita is almost as loud as a Cabinet Organ, and will 
play dance music loud enough for any medium sized hall. Its attractive shape, simple and powerful construction, and the various 
improvements it possesses overall other paper as a valve instruments, will place it at once, far in advance of all competitors, and we 
warrant it superior to any similar mnsical instrument extant. Price, in black walnut cases, with selection of music, only !$8.00. 
Over 300 tunes now ready.

containing a great variety of Items , including many 
good Hints and Suggestions which we thrcno into smaller 
type and condensed form , for want of space elsewhere. 
In justice to the majority of our sub¬ 
scribers, who have been readers for many 
years, articles and illustrations are sel¬ 
dom repeated, as tliose who desire in¬ 
formation on a particular subject can 
cDeaply obtain one or more of tlie back 
numbers containing wliat is wanted. 
Back numbers of tbe “American Agri¬ 
culturist,” containing articles referred to 
in the “Basket” or elsewhere, can al¬ 
ways be supplied and sent post-paid for 
15 cts. each, or $1.50 per volume. 
The German Edition.— All the principal arti¬ 
cles and engravings that appear in the American Agricul¬ 
turist are reproduced in the German Edition. Besides 
these, there is a special department, edited by an eminent 
German cnltivator. Our friends can do ns a good service 
by calling the attention of their German neighbors and 
friends to the fact that they can have the paper in their 
own language, and those who employ Germans will 
find this Journal a most useful and acceptable present. 
Bound Copies of volume 39, and of every pre¬ 
vious volume back to Yol. XVI. (1857), neatly bound, with 
gilt backs, Index, etc., are supplied at $2 each (or $2.30 
if to be sent by mail). See Publishers’ Notes, on last page. 
Clubs can at any time be increased by remitting for 
each addition, the price paid by the original members ; 
or a small club may be made a larger one at reduced rates, 
thus: One having sent 6 subscribers and $7, may after¬ 
wards send 4 names more and $3, making 10 subscribers 
for $10.00; and so for the various other club rates. 
Terms to New SoutH Wales, New Zea¬ 
land, Australia, Africa, etc.— To several in¬ 
quirers. Under the latest revision of the Postal Union 
Regulations the price of the American Agriculturist 
(either English or German edition), including postage 
p?-epaid through, will be covered by 7 shillings sterling 
per annum. This applies to the above countries, and to 
all others embraced in the General Postal Union. The 
simplest mode of remittance is by Postal Money Orders, 
payable in London, to the order of Orange Judd Com¬ 
pany. These can be readily cashed in N. Y. City at a 
slight discount, which the publishers will cheerfully pay. 
For Club rates (postage included), see page 502, and 
reckon 22 cents to the shilling sterling. 
Needles. Please Observe.— That the American 
Agriculturist in June, 1880, page 219, had an item headed 
“A Needle Is a Wonderful Thing.” We then said: 
“having occasion to use a particular needle for some 
microscopic work a short time ago, we selected it from 
a package of needles as put up by the London Needle 
Co.and as for quality—the microscope sustained the 
favorable report of the uses of the needle.”—Sellers of 
other needles have quoted the above as having been said 
of their wares. It was said of and applies only to the 
needles offered by the “London Needle Co.,”—and the 
nse of it by the sellers of any other needles is entirely 
unwarranted, as we know nothing whatever of the 
“Clark Needle Co.,” or their needles, never having seen 
them or commended them. While we perhaps ought to 
feel flattered that our commendation was thought of 
sufficient value to be thus appropriated , we recollect that 
there is a very ugly name applied to one who makes 
another say that which he did not say. We did com¬ 
mend the wares of the “London Needle Company,” 
and did not say anything about those of the “ Clark 
Needle Co.” 
Live-for-ever, as a Weed.— “A. J. S.,” Sand- 
lake, N. Y., finds the plant known as “Live-for-ever,” 
is becoming a pest in his neighborhood, and wishes to 
know what may be done to prevent its spread, and to get 
rid of it where it is already established. This plant, also 
known as “ Aaron’sRod,” and “Orpine,” (Sedum Tele- 
phium ), is becoming a troublesome weed in many places 
having escaped from cultivation, and is spreading at a 
rapid rate. Some years ago we gave an account of the 
successful killing of a few plants by smothering them. 
Piles of manure were placed over tbe clumps, and, of 
course, they were killed. But this treatment is not 
practicable where the weed has established itself in a 
meadow or pasture. If any reader has eradicated this 
pest, he will do a good service by giving his experience.
