Burton’s  Drenching  Bit. 
The  bit,  made  of  iron,  nickel  plated, 
consists  of  a  hollow  iron  funnel  on  a 
w rough t-ir on  tube,  on  which  work  two 
iron  st-ap  bits.  When  first  the  drench¬ 
ing  bit  is  put  into  the  horse’s  mouth,  the 
funnel  is  close  to  the  cheek  of  the  animal, 
but  as  the  head  of  the  animal  is  raised 
the  funnel  assumes  a  perpendicular  posi¬ 
tion,  and  the  drench  being  poured  into 
the  receptacle,  flows  into  the  hollow  bit, 
in  the  center  of  which  is  an  aperture 
through  which  the  physic  passes  d.rectiy 
down  the  animal’s  throat.  This  is  done 
without  the  least  difficulty  and  the  ani¬ 
mal  receives  its  dose  “  whether  it  will  or 
not,”  to  the  last  drop.  The  anim  il's 
head  is  held  in  position  by  a  rop  3  which 
passes  through  an  eye  on  the  top  of  the 
framework  of  the  bit.  A  leather  strap 
or  rope  fastened  to  a  couple  of  iron  strap 
bits  prevents  the  contrivance  leavin  g  the 
animal's  mouth,  as  it  is  secured  around 
the  head.  Regular  price  §3,  express 
not  prepaid.  Our  price,  with  a  year’s 
subscription,  §3.25;  with  a  renewal  and 
a  new  subscription,  §4. 
To  the  hoy  fond  of  shooting — what  boy  is  not  ?  To  any  boy  the  Buffalo  Bill 
Gun  is  a  “  daisy  ”  shooter.  Our  editor’s  son  learned  to  handle  a  rifle  by  starting  in 
with  this  powerful  toy  gun.  Its  makers  claim  for  it  that  all  other  similar  guns  in 
the  market  are  either  cheap  imitations  or  direct  infringements  of  the  patents  under 
which  the  Buffalo  Bill  is  made;  but  none  are  improvements,  and  the  Buffalo  Bill  is 
still  superior  in  every  respect.  It  is  better  made,  stronger  when  new,  will  last 
three  times  as  long  as  any  ott  er  equally  p  erful  gun  ever  manufactured,  and  when 
it  gives  out  at  any  part  it  is  very  easily  repaired.  It  will  shoot  with  accuracy  a 
great  variety  of  missiles.  The  driver  is  made  to  hold  a  charge  of  small  shot  with 
which  naturalists  may  kill  small  birds.  Price,  §1,  sent  by  express  prepaid;  with  a 
year's  subscription,  §1.75;  with  a  renewal  and  a  year’s  subscription,  §2.50.

develops  the  chest.  A  genuine  spring  target  with 
each  gun.  Nothing  complicated  t)  get  out  of  order. 
Price  of  gun  and  spring  target  complete,  §1.  Prepaid 
for  30  cents  additional.  With  a  j’ear's  subscription, 
§1.75;  with  a  rene  wal  and  a  new  subscription,  §2.50.

Achromatic  Telescope. 
Few  things  are  more  interesting  or 
useful  in  both  leisure  and  buoy  moments 
in  the  country  than  a 
good  telescope, or  harder 
to  find.  We  believe  that 
we  have  in  this  a  thor¬ 
oughly  good  telescope 
that  we  can  offer  to  our 
subscribers  in  con¬ 
fidence  that  it  will  give 
satisfaction.  When  ex¬ 
tended  it  is  over  16 
inches, and,  when  closed, 
6%  inches  in  length.  On 
a  clear  day  you  can  dis¬ 
tinctly  see  time  on  a 
tower  three  miles  away. 
The  moons  of  Jupiter 
can  be  seen  with  it.  The 
telescope  tubes  are 
made  from  heavy  pol¬ 
ished  brass;  the  body  is 
covered  with  morocco, 
making  a  thoroughly 
substantial  instrument. 
It  is  achromatic;  that  is, 
does  not  blur  the  vision 
by  a  confusion  of  colors.
