AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
An Excellent Thing for Boys. 
TOOL CHESTS. 
Next to educating his mind, and helpful for that, is the 
helping a boy to be “HANDY with his HANDS.” The 
Boy and Man goes through life always handicapped, if he 
must run to a mechanic for every little and large repair and 
fixing, on the farm, in the house, in the store, anywhere. 
Give the Boy a few TOOLS to work with, and he will 
develop a wonderful amount of skill, ingenuity, tact, 
and inventive power, that will do him excellent service 
all through life. A Ten-Dollar Chest of Tools, costing 
less than a dollar a year for interest and wear, will do 
him far more good in after life, than to lay by for him a 
Thousand Dollars in the Savings Bank.—To help in this 
way, we have selected a few TOOL CHESTS, containing 
: a variety of Tools, and at a much lower price than the 
separate Tools would cost, even without the neat Chest 
i to keep them in order. The largest assortment and the 
best quality of Tools are most desirable, but to meet the 
circumstances of all, we have provided several kinds, 
advising all to get the best —as many Tools as possible. 
N. E3.—The prices we offer are 10 to 20 per cent 
1 below the Manufacturers’ published lists and established 
11 rates by the dozen.—The CHESTS are Ash or Chestnut, 
neatly varnished to show the grain, with Walnut Mould- 
1 ings, and Bronzed lifting Handles, and have large Tray, 
compartments for Tools, etc. They will be delivered at 
the Office or to any Express Co. free.—Receiver to pay 
express carriage.

FARM IMPLEMENTS. 
No. I 98.—“ Eagle Combined Riding 
and Walking Cultivator.”— Price $35.00.- 
The Eagle Cultivator in several forms, 
with iron and wooden parts, lias long 
been in successful use. It is now sup¬ 
plied with a RIDING SEAT, which 
saves the worker’s strength, and is so 
placed as lo enable him to see the whole 
work, and even Boys can manage it. 
If the team force be weak, or one 
wishes to walk occasionally for other 
reasons, the Seat is quickly turned for¬ 
ward out of the way.—The shovels can 
he adjusted to any desired position, can 
be moved or raised by the handles, and 
also by foot levers, leaving the hands 
free to guide the team.—It has also a 
jointed or Pivot Tongue , enabling one 
to dodge crooked rows of corn, or 
any obstacles. We cau supply one 
complete for $35; OR we will Pre¬ 
sent one for 35 subscriptions at

tions. 
No. 199. — “ Planet, Jr.”-P«ace $14.00.— 
This implement is not only a SEED DRILL, and would 
be worth its cost for sowing seeds only, but it is readily 
converted into a nAND CULTIVATOR, or wheel hoe. 
Indeed, the implement may be put to a great variety of 
uses, for which we must refer to the descriptive circular 
of the makers. For the sowing of seeds and the cultiva¬ 
tion of the young plants after they are up and need weed¬ 
ing, we have tried the “ Planet , Jr." to our full satisfac¬ 
tion. Its utility may be extended to farm crops, and in 
tiie sowiug and early cultivation of the Root Crops, it will 
prove of great value. Indeed, the general tendency of 
farming where there are near-by markets, is towards the 
methods of gardening, and this calls for gardening imple¬ 
ments. Wo supply Planet, Jr., for $14; OR Present 
it for 15 subscriptions at $1.50 each. Freight to be 
paid by recipient. 
Mo. 200.—The New Blanchard Churn. 
—Price $8.00.— One of the best and most popular 
Churns. The action of the dasher is such as to 
cause agitation of the cream by creating currents, 
and not by beating or friction of the cream. Four 
motions are given to the cream by one revolution of 
the crank. A reverse motion of the dasher gives a cam 
pressure to the butter by which the butter-milk may be 
worked out, and the salt worked in, without removing 
the dasher. Ease of cleaning, the form of construction 
exposes the inside without any inaccessible or invisible 
angles or corners. For 9 subscriptions at $1.50 each 
we will give one^of these excellent churns; ORsupply one 
for $8.00. The receiver to pay freight in either case.

No. 202.— A Greenhouse Pump-Price 
$9.00.—A good force pump is an essential part of the out¬ 
fit of a greenhouse, not only for 
ordinary watering, but for show¬ 
ering to keep down insects, 
and for maintaining the needed 
moisture of the atmosphere. It is 
not always convenient to have a 
stationary pump, and a portable one 
is often preferable. The one here 
offered can be used anywhere. It 
is a complete engine in itself, hav¬ 
ing a suction or supply hose, 
whicli will take the water from a 
cistern or a bucket, and a delivery 
pipe to be terminated by a nozzle 
for ordinary watering, or by a 
sprinkler. The pump being held 
in place hy means of the foot, it is
