UNIVERSAL 
CLOTHES WRINGER 
Which is the Best Clothes Wringer! 
(From the Poston Traveller of July 2d.) 
“After careful examination, we recommend the “ Univer¬ 
sal ” as the best and strongest machine. 
It lias “ patent cog-wheels” (Rowell’s patent double gear) 
with very long and strong alternating teeth, which, together 
with the “patent stop” (which is on no other wringer) 
allows the rubber rollers to separate sufficiently to run 
through the largest article easily, yet cannot separate so far 
that the cogs will disconnect and lose their power, as is the 
case with other wringers, whether the cogs are on one or 
both sides of the shaft. 
It also, lias the peculiar advantage of two pressure,screws, 
so arranged that eacli screw presses on botli ends of the 
rolls alike, the same as if it was in the centre, while the two 
together give double the capacity for pressure. 
The “ Universal ” lias its iron parts either wrought or 
malleable, and is built so strongly and substantially that for 
years it cannot be broken in wringing garments by the 
strongest person. 
Our readers may be quite sure they will find the “Univer¬ 
sal ” wringer a good and serviceable article.”

NEW 
American Farm Book. 
ORIGINALLY' BY 
R. L. ALLEN-, 
Author.of “ Diseases of .Domestic Animals," and formerly 
editor of the “ American Agriculturist." 
revised and enlarged by 
LEWIS F ALLEN, 
Author of “ American Cattle," editor of the “ American 
Shjorl-lwrn Herd Book," etc. 
NOTICES BY' THE PRESS. 
Everything connected with the business of farming 
finds a place in it; soils, manures of every kind, irriga¬ 
tion and draining, grasses, grain and root crops, fruits, 
cotton, hemp, fences, farm buildings, domestic cattle, 
slieep, poultry, and the like. The work has been written 
witli great care by men qualified to discuss the subject, 
and it is really valuable. The chapter on soils should be 
read carefully by every farmer who desires to make the 
most of the land he cultivates. The chapter on fruits 
constitutes an important feature of the work; and there 
is nothing in it which is not well considered and useful. 
Worcester Daily Spy. 
Comprehensive and careful, telling, and telling specif¬ 
ically, just what the tillers of the soil need to know, it 
will prove of great advantage to all who faithfully follow 
its counsels in the spirit in which they are given. 
Congregationalist & Recorder 
It intelligently and quite fully discusses the various 
operations of farm life, and is invaluable to all engaged 
in agriculture. Farmer's Cabinet. 
For the young man of rural tastes, but without a train¬ 
ing at the plow-handles, who asks for a general guide and 
instructor that shall be to agriculture what the map of 
the world is to geography, it is the best manual in print. 
For the working farmer, who in summer noonings and 
by the winter fireside would refresh his convictions and 
reassure his knowledge by old definitions and well-con¬ 
sidered summaries, it is the most convenient hand-book. 
From its double authorship one might expect some show 
of patch-work, the original statement of the author ot 
184(5, annotated and qualified by the writer of this year. 
But this has been wisely avoided. The book is a unit, 
and shows no disparity of style nor contradiction in 
statement. Practically it is altogether a recent and time¬ 
ly volume. Only so lunch of the original Book of the 
Farm, by R. L. Allen, as time could not change, has been 
adopted by the reviser. New York Tribune. 
It is a volume of over five hundred pages, and in its 
present shape comprises all that can well be condensed 
into an available volume of its kind. 
Hartford Daily Times. 
It is almost as comprehensive as a cyclopaedia. Wc 
can safely recommend it as a valuable and standard work. 
Salem Gazette. 
It has a very wide range of subjects, taking up nearly 
all matters that are most important to farmers. Com¬ 
prising the combined wisdom and experience of two em¬ 
inent agriculturists, it must prove of great value to the 
class for whom it is prepared. New York Observer. 
It is crammed full of just the information that is want¬ 
ed, which it is a pleasure to recommend. We know of 
no better encyclopaedia of farming. 
New York Independent. 
In its present revised and enlarged form, it is a work 
that every practical farmer may consult with advantage, 
and none can well afford to do without. 
Christian Intelligencer. 
It is something in favor of this work that it has been 
before the public for many years. The original work was 
prepared with extraordinary care, and contained a vast 
amount of general truth that is as applicable now as it 
was then ; it has therefore been made the basis of the 
present work, which, to all intents and purposes, is new, 
since it is adapted to the present improved state of agri¬ 
cultural knowledge. Every department is prepared with 
conscientious care and with a view of making the work 
a reliable source of agricultural information.
