THIS GLORIOUS NEWS. 
Mr. G. Pierpont, of Rockford, Ill., purchased one of SHARE’S 
COULTER HARROW PULVERIZER and GRAIN COV-i. 
ERER, with which lie covered 90 acres of wheat on his farm (by 
merely going over the field once after it was sown.) He also 
covered or harrowed in 15 acres with the common or Scotch har¬ 
row (and worked over 2 or 3 tunes) on the same farm,to convince 
himself of the difference between the two machines. The yield, 
after harvesting the grain, was on ail average 3 bushels more 
per acre from the land on which he used Share’s Harrow than 
that on which he worked the common harrow, thereby saving, 
(by pulverising with our hairovv instead of scratching the top of 
the land and packing it with the Scotch machine,) say 270 bush¬ 
els of wheat, which, at the present price of St 40 per bushel, is 
$378, or the price of 25 machines. Will not this induce farmers 
to purchase this new and improved implement which will make 
their Lbor easy and cheap. They are manufactured only by the 
subscribers, to whom, if orders are sent, they will be promptly 
attended to, and sooner the better, as the demand for them is 
constantly increasing. The weight of the machine is 200 lbs. 
Price $15 and freight. Address for a catalogue,

BP Caution—'Take Notice. 
Whereas L. L. Langstroth’s agents are very much troubled 
nnd annoyed or. account of bee-keeners preferring to purchase 
ami use my “Sectional Frame Hive,” patented Nov 9 1808 
ami other improved Hives, to theirs, and in order to idri-Iiten 
and deler others lrom doing so, have cautioned the public against 
purchasing “ Movable Comb Hives, as they believe such to be 
infringements on their rights. 
For the benefit of all concerned, I will state that I neither 
make, sell or offer for sale any improvement of which Mr Laiw- 
stroth is the original inventor, or rightful owner, havtng no oc¬ 
casion to do so, as I have a much more convenient—cheap and 
practical arrangement, requiring much less exposure to the 
bees, and less drsturbance to them, and affording decidedly tire 
best facilities for obtaining nice surplus honey of liny yet devised 
Together with a late improvement (for which I have taken 
measuresto secure a patent) bv means of which the bees must 
construct all their combs straight outlie fr 'tries, a thing there is 
no certainty ol their doing in their litve. or any other movable 
comb Hive. Therefore don't he frightened bee-keepers but 
send a one cent stamp and get a circular and examine fur your 
selves. Address ■’

This SOAP POWDER lias been in use for the last Sen years, 
and gives the best, of satisfaction. There have been many kinds 
H'irrt-p-p'o 1 market, but no brand retains patronage except 
HAKBli I S, and that continues to gradually increase. One 
lamily will get all their clothes hung out b- 10 o’clock, and very 
wuue at that ; this leads to inquiry. 
Neighbors will sav, how is it that *\,u mways get your wash¬ 
ing out so much earlier than others, and so much whiter 'J he 
answer is, we use BABBITT’S SOAP POWDER. This has 
been many tomes related in my office. On- man at the. South got 
a box of SOAP POWDER to sell; he kept it about six months, 
thinking u a dead letter; finally, took some in his own house for 
Ins wife to try, and the result led to the above description, and 
the sale commenced rapidly. 
This SOAP POWDER not only whitens tlie clothes,but when 
soaked according to directions over night, it causes l he dirt to 
rinse out with slight rubbing, which is always very desirable for 
P D-iio?l e -ii eac — n " on tl,e grass is required, and the
