Strongest, Cleanest, Purest! 
Dairymen sensibly receive with full credibility, the 
opinion of so competent and candid an expert as A. W. 
Cheever editor of the New England Farmer, when he says 
of the Perfected Butter Color, made by Wells, Richardson 
& Co , Burlington, Vt “ We have used it for several years, 
and have found nothing equalling it, although wehave tested 
about everything of the kino made in this or the old coun 
try. It is the strongest, cleanest, purest and cheapest but¬ 
ter coloring we have ever found and for till we can see, it is 
absolutely perfect." R. Booker, Whitewater, Wis., says: 
•' It gives a good color without any trouble." Henry Cope¬ 
land, of Hampton, Ct., says : " Several that have seen butter 
colored with it say it looks and tastes as well as June but¬ 
ter." It increases the market value of butter, at least four 
cents per pound. 
Breeders of Pine Dairy Stock 
Should at once Investigate the Perfect Creamer adver¬ 
tised in another column. It will enable them to realize the 
largest possible yield per cow. and thus enhance the value 
of their stock, as well as Increase the value of the product. 
Gigantic Offers. 
Tour attention is called to the mammoth new advertise¬ 
ment of Mr. Daniel F. Beatty, of Washington, New Jersey, 
in this month’s paper, Mr. Beatty’s celebrated Pianos and 
Organs are so well known throughout the civilized world 
that they require no word of commendation. Lowest 
rices, superior workmanship and complete satisfaction 
ave brought this house prominently forward until to-day 
he stands the only man In his trade who dares to ship 
his instruments on test trial, and if unsatisfactory refunds 
not only the price, but all freight paid. No fairer offer can 
ever be made or even suggested His sales now amount 
annually to several millions of dollars, and when it is taken 
into consideration that a few years ago he was only a poor 
plow-boy, it must be evident to every reader, that Mr. 
Beatty is the possessor of rare talent in his vocation. A 
saving of 5 per cent can be made when two instruments are 
ordered at the same time, therefore talk over among your 
friends and neighbors these unparalleled offers on the cele¬ 
brated Beatty Pianos and OrganB, and try to secure for 
yourselves this special discount.

seven acres. It may be applied from now till earlv May, but those who used it early last season were enabled to cut a
