Piano  Extension  Lamp. 
The  Piano  Extension  (or  floor-stand) 
Lamp  is  now  the  popular  lamp.  Such  a 
lamp  adds  very  much  to  the  furnishings

lamp  has  been  so  expensive  that  only  the 
more  wealthy  families  could  afford  it.

beauty  and  utility.  The  fount  is  richly 
embossed  and  holds  a  quart  of  oil.  The 
lamp  is  5  feet  6%  inches  high  from  the 
floor  to  burner,  when  extended,  and  can 
be  lowered  to  four  feet  from  floor.  It 
can  be  extended  with  one  hand  and  it  will 
remain  at  any  point  set.

manufacture,  and  far  superior  to  the 
cheap  field  glasses  offered  as  premiums.

qualities  of  a  broom  and  dust-pan  com¬ 
bined.  Light  running,  it  will  take  up 
anything  that  a  broom  will,  from  any 
kind  of  carpet,  while  if  pressure  be  given

bedded  in  the  carpet— still  running 
easily — it  will  work  wonders,  being  more 
effective  than  any  broom.  Price,  $3  ;

The  Tubular  Carriage  Lamp. 
No  further  need  for 
the  inconvenient  and 
inefficient  lantern 
when  driving  on  dark 
nights.  The  Dietz  tub¬ 
ular  lamp  is  conven¬ 
ient,  “will  not  blow 
out,”  gives  a  clear, 
white  light;  its  power¬ 
ful  reflector,  like  a 
locomotive  headlight, 
throws  all  the  light 
straight  ahead  200  to 
400  feet.  It  burns  kero¬ 
sene.  It  has  a  strong 
spring  attachment  for 
attaching  to  the  dasher 
at  any  point,  in  an  in¬ 
stant.  Price  $2.50,  by  express,  not  pre¬ 
paid  ;  with  a  year’s  subscription,  $3;  with

Farmers’  Veterinary  Adviser. 
This  is  the  latest  revised  edition  of  the 
best  book  yet  published  in  America  on 
the  treatment  of 
diseases  among  do¬ 
mestic  animals.  It 
is  a  guide  to  the  Pre¬ 
vention  and  Treat¬ 
ment  of  Diseases  in 
Domestic  Animals. 
By  Prof.  Law  of  Cor¬ 
nell  University.  It

tions  and  an  appen¬ 
dix  of  100  pages  re¬

THE  SELF-BASTING  ROASTER  AND  BAKING  PAN. 
Six  or  eight  months’  use  has  made  this  an  indispensable  kitchen  requisite  in 
the  house  of  the  publisher.  It  is  scientifically  constructed  for  roasting  meats, 
game,  poultry,  fish  ;  for  baking  bread,  cake,  biscuit,  beans,  etc.  It  makes  tough 
meats  and  poultry  tender,  and  saves 
the  nutriment  of  the  food  generally 
lost  through  steam  and  evaporation. 
Things  baked  or  roasted  in  the  pan 
are  more  healthful  and  digestible,  as 
they  retain  all  their  sweetness,  flavor 
and  nourishment.  No  attention  need 
be  given  to  basting  or  turning.  A 
poor  cook  cannot  spoil  the  food.  If  it 
is  allowed  to  remain  in  the  oven 
longer  than  the  usual  time,  the  steam 
keeps  the  food  moist,  sweet  and  fresh. 
Directions  accompany  the  pan.  Di¬ 
mensions  of  No.  2  are,  14x10x8%  inches,  to  hold  a  10-pound  turkey.  Price,  $1.25; 
with  a  year’s  subscription  for  $1.85  ;  with  a  renewal  and  a  new  subscription,  $2.70. 
For  No.  3  size,  17x12x9,  price,  $1.50  ;  add  25  cents  in  each  combination.  Express 
not  prepaid.

simplest,  strongest,  lightest,  most  compact  and  cheapest  that  we  have  seen.  Price, 
$2.50;  expressage  prepaid  for  45  cents  additional.  With  a  year’s  subscription  for 
$3.00  ;  with  a  renewal  and  a  new  subscription,  for  $3.75,
