And insure an increase of from five 
to ten Bushels per Acre. 
The testimony of hundreds of best farmers in proof is 
positive and conclusive. 
Samuel V. Miller, Milo, N. Y„ says: “ I went all over my 
wheat in the spring, before sowing plaster and grass 6eed, 
and have no doubt it increased my crop one fourth, my 
neighbors say one half, besides fitting the ground lor clover 
seed in the most perfect manner.” 
Byram Moulton, Alexander, N. Y., says: “I used the 
Thomas Harrow on my wheat last spring, and raised 3.600 
bushels on r >0 acres, while my neighbors’ wheat, with equal 
promise without harrowing, yielded only 10 bus. per acre.”

REPUTATION & MONEY 
CAN BE MADE BY SELLING TIIE 
The Bridgeport M’t’g Co., to keep up the present 
well-known reputation of this pump, and to hold it as the 
standard pump of the country, propose to meet the objec¬ 
tion to galvanizing by adopting a new feature.viz., to enamel 
pump and pipe. This finish offers a perfect resistance to 
all possible deleterious effects arising from the presence of 
vegetable acids and metals, in combination, in drinking 
water. 
To increase tlieir sales, and cover their heavy expenses 
entailed by this new process, they propose to sell territory 
by Town and County rights, and supply parties who buy 
these rights the goods at greatly reduced prices. As the 
Company intend to be the manufacturers solely, they have 
made an exclusive contract with the undersigned to sell all 
rights for the territory. Full particulars and all information 
given by applying to 
MIJDGE & WOODS,

Dkaii Sib : After seeing the trash called pumps that wo 
saw to-day confirms mo in what I had often thought I 
should do: Make a good common well-pump. So, if you 
sec fit to wait about three or four weeks, I will put up the 
first iu your well or cistern, give you a year or two years to 
make up your mind whether it suits you, and then If you 
want it, tlie price will be what I am at the time charging 
others for them, somewhere between $20 and $20.
