We have ascertained that 
makers of sheet steel and 
other plows, envious of the 
great reputation of the 
Cast, Cast-Steel Plows, 
are palming off their inferior 
articles as made of cast, cast- 
steel. There are no genuine 
cast, cast-steel plows made, 
except by COLLINS & 
CO., Hartford. See that the 
plow is so marked before 
purchasing. For prices and 
full particulars address

HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, Structure, and 
Life of tlie Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel W . Johnson, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de¬ 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in tlie same and 
different plants. The book is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
Another work by the same author is now in press, enti¬ 
tled “How Crops Feed,” in which the subject of the Food 
of tlie Plant is ampliiled in all its details, and the atmosphere 
and tlie soil arc fully discussed in their manifold relations to 
tlie Plant. 
Sent post-paid, on receipt of the price.

The Novelty Clothes Wringers, exhibited at the late 
Fair of tlie American Institute, were awarded the highest 
premiums. * * It. is now admitted that they have no equals 
as family wringers.— l\ew York Liberal Christian. 
* * * The proprietors say, “ Take it on trial with any or 
all others and keep tlie best." This seems to carry confi¬ 
dence with it, and is conclusive that the manufacturers arc 
honest in their dealings with the public. * * It lias cog¬ 
wheels on botli ends so arranged as to give it one-third more 
power than Wringers with cog-wlicels on one end only. 
Tlie Rolls lire allowed to separate freely at cither end. 
These, besides other advantages which it contains, seem to 
lie indispensable to a practical wringer.— New York Inde¬ 
pendent. 
This AYringer seems to have all the good points requisite 
to a practical machine. * * We are confident the “Novel¬ 
ty ” merits all that is said in its favor.— Hearth and Home. 
Tliis Company have, from the commencement, guaranteed 
their Wringers perfectly satisfactory in all cases, which 
may, to some extent,, account for their great success. * * 
Nothing can he more appropriate for a holiday present Ilian 
one of these best of Wringers. — Hew York Christian
