How to Purchase a Cr.sTiiES Wringer.— In pur¬ 
chasing a clolhefe wringer wo prefer one with cog-wheels, 
as they greatly relieve the rubber rolls from strain that 
would otherwise occur, and add much to the durability 
of the machine. The next point is to see that the cog¬ 
wheels are so arranged as not to fly apart when a large 
article is passed between the rollers. It matters not 
whether the cog-wheels are on one end or both ends of 
the shaft; if large articles disconnect them, they are en¬ 
tirely useless. This is very important, for as the larger 
the article the greater the strain; therefore, if the 
cog-wheels separate so as to disconnect, they are of 
no service when most needed. We have taken sonic 
pains to examine the various wringers, and much prefer 
the “ Universal,” as lately improved, because it has long 
and strong gears (Rowell’s Patent Double Gear), and is 
the only wringer with “patent stop ” for preventing the 
cog-wheels from separating so far as to lose their power. 
—[New England Farmer. 
Having used for many months the kind of wringer 
named above, we fully endorse all that is said of it by our 
New England cotemporary. —Editors of Scientific Amer¬ 
ican.

SOMETHING NEW 
FROM WALTHAM, 
A BOY’S WATCH 
That Will Suit Every One. 
Tills Watch, which is of smaller size than the oilier Wal¬ 
tham Watches, has just been introduced, and, although called 
the Boy’s Watch, on account of its size, is destined to have 
a wide and universal sale. It is finely finished, of substan¬ 
tial construction, and contains all the recent improvements. 
Its low price and neat appearance will commend it to a large 
class of persons who have been deterred from purchasing 
Waltham Watches heretofore, on account of their large size. 
Our Illustrated Price list describes this, and all other Wal¬ 
tham Watches, in detail, gives weight and quality of the 
cases, with prices of each, and explains our plan of sending 
watches to all parts ol the country, without risk to the pur¬ 
chaser. 
Send for the Priee-lisl, and state that yon saw this notice 
in the American Agriculturist.

ATTENTION IS CALLED TO OUK 
LARGE STOCK OF 
WALTHAM 
WATCHES, 
And wc submit the following reasons why they should be 
preferred to any other American Watches: 
In the first place, the Waltham Company is the oldest, and 
has had fourfold the experience of any others engaged in 
the business in the United States. 
I 11 the second place, the machinery in use by the Waltham 
Company is far more perfect and varied, and as a result, the 
Watches arc of far higher grade and of greater variety, and 
are placed in the market at much lower prices than any 
others, quality and style fully considered. 
In the third place, the Waltham Watch is now a staple 
article, its reputation fully established, and, as a conse¬ 
quence, is sold at less profit than any others in the market.
