FLAX BRAKES. 
TIE CELEBRATED 
Dexter Spring 
Is one of those inventions that commends itself to the 
PRACTICAL, MAN as the COMMON-SENSE 
SPRING, being a side-spring without the unpleasant and 
dangerous side motion of the Concord, and obviating the 
jerking of the Elliptic. Being without perch, gives inde¬ 
pendent action to each wheel, making them much more 
durable. The SPRINGS are made of special CRUCI¬ 
BLE STEEL,, and are fully warranted. 
' Tile DEXTER supplies a want'lohg felt by the Fann¬ 
er, Business Man, aud Physician, as it gives them 
the easiest riding and most durable SPRING VEHI¬ 
CLE known, and much less liable to break than the 
ordinary spring, on account of quality and form. 
Please examine carefully the editorial and advertisement 
in Dec., 1S7G, American Agriculturist, and send for circular to 
DEXTER SPRING CO., 
Hulton, near Pittsburgh, Pa.

A Splendid Opportunity 
TO SECURE A 
Western Farm. 
Some of the very focsf farming 
Sands in liie rapidly growing State 
of Nebraska, which will he sold for cash, 
or partly on time, or part in cash and part in 
exchange for Eastern farm lands—on terms 
far cheaper that can be obtained elsewhere. 
These lands are located near the two 
Beading Railroads in the State, with a 
market close at hand, and are surrounded by 
farms with improvements. 
They were selected by one of the best 
Judges in tlie Country, and are remark¬ 
ably fertile and productive. 
Here is a chance such as is not often pre¬ 
sented, for any Eastern farmer who may wish 
to emigrate West and secure a good sized 
farm at very low figures. The crops next 
year, if anything like as good ^ as this, will 
doubly pay, above all expenses, the. price asked 
for these lands. 
Nebraska is being rapidly settled by the 
best of population from the Eastern and Mid¬ 
dle States, and is destined to become the Great 
State of the West.
