A  Jagger  "Wagon. — This  is  one  of  the  handi¬ 
est  and  most  useful  wagons  ever  built,  and  strictly 
honest  in  every  particular.  A  small  farm  can  be  run 
with  it.  Rich  men  and  poor  use  it,  and  it  is  suitable 
for  all  classes.  This  common-sense  wagon  is  presented 
by  James  H.  Birch,  manufacturer  of  the  celebrated 
Birch  carriages  and  harness,  Burlington,  N.  J.  Cat- 
by  veterinary  surgeons  for  its  successful,  harmless  and 
simple  use.  Any  person  of  average  intelligence  can  use 
it  with  safety.  It  is  4 %  inches  long.  Messrs.  Geo.  P. 
Pilling  &  Son  mail  to  any  address  free  a  book  descrip¬ 
tive  of  these  instruments  upon  request.  One  “opener” 
will  be  given  to  each  of  12  “first”  clubs  of  five  each.

those  who  use  horses  and  harness  for  heavy  dray 
work  on  the  highways.  It  does  away  entirely  with 
whiffle-trees  and  traces,  and  any  one  who  has  cavorted 
around  an  orchard  with  a  plow  or  cultivator  in  trying 
to  plow  or  cultivate  without  barking  the  trees,  knows 
what  an  improvement  this  change  would  be.

The  “Philadelphia”  Caponizing  Set.— 
The  demand  for  capons  far  exceeds  the  supply, 
the  price  per  pound  being  twice  as  much  as  for 
ordinary  chicks.  The  object  of  caponizing  is,  first,  to 
largely  increase  the  weight  of  the  fowls,  causing  them 
in  many  cases  to  grow  as  large  as  turkeys  and  weigh 
from  10  to  15  pounds ;  second,  to  make  the  meat  of

The  American  Fruit  Evaporator, 
made  by  the  American  Manufacturing  Company,  of 
Waynesboro,  Pa.,  has  become  the  leading  evaporator 
finer  and  sweeter  flavor  and  very  juicy  and  tender. 
Again,  capons  are  worth  $1  to  $1.50  more  than  cocks 
not  caponized.  We  have  arranged  with  Messrs.  Geo. 
P.  Pilling&  Son,  of  Philadelphia,  to  supply  us  with 
these  instruments.  This  firm  have  been  making  the 
instruments  for  40  years,  Messrs.  Pilling  &  Son  have 
just  published  a  very  interesting  book  entitled  Com¬ 
plete  Guide  for  Caponizing,  which  they  are  distrib¬ 
uting  free  to  those  interested.  Ten  complete  capon; 
izing  sets  are  offered,  with  full  instructions  accom¬ 
panying ;  a  set  to  be  given  for  10  “first”  clubs  of 
only  10  each.

Blanchard  Dairy  Implements _ The  Por¬ 
ter  Blanchard  Sons  Company,  of  Nashua,  N.  H.,  appre¬ 
ciating  the  good  work  of  The  Rural,  and  desiring 
to  aid  in  extending  it,  have  placed  the  following 
very  desirable  articles  of  their  manufacture  at  our 
disposal:  A  Five-Bottle  Babcock  Milk  Tester  for  a 
in  the  trade.  It  is  claimed  that  no  other  will  do  the 
work  so  rapidly  and  well  as  this — none  is  constructed  on 
more  scientific  principles.  The  company  has  placed  at 
our  disposal  three  of  its  No.  0  Evaporators,  which  will 
be  given  for  the  three  “  first”  clubs  of  35  each.  The 
price  of  this  machine  is  $25,  and  it  has  a  capacity  of 
several  bushels  daily.  It  is  six  feet  long  and  weighs 
200  pounds.  There  is  scarcely  a  farm  in  this  country 
on  which  one  of  these  evaporators  would  not  be  of  the 
greatest  utility,  drying  all  kinds  of  fruits  and  veget¬ 
ables  in  the  best  possible  manner.  Send  for  an  illus¬ 
trated  catalogue  and  see  their  many  advantages.

a  “  first”  club  of  60  subscribers  to
