PEERLESS SEWING MACHINE. 
Sewing machines can usually be bought only of local agents, who keep an 
expensive office, and a horse and wagon to deliver the machines. One of these 
agents cannot sell many machines in a year, hence he must have a good profit on 
those he sells to enable him to pay expenses and live besides. Now we can buy 
machines as cheaply as he can, and possibly a little cheaper. We don’t keep an 
office for the purpose, or a horse ; but we will deliver you the machines at your 
nearest railroad station all the same, freight charges paid, at about one-half the 
price charged by local agents for the 
same grade of machine. The Peerless is 
fully warranted for 10 years, but will 
last a lifetime. A few of its excellent 
features are as follows: All wearing 
parts are of case-hardened steel possess¬ 
ing great durability, and by the turning 
of a screw, all lost motion caused by wear 
can be taken up. All parts are fitted so 
accurately that these machines are ab¬ 
solutely noiseless and as easy running as 
fine adjustment and best mechanical skill 
is possible to produce. The balance- 
wheel and many of the fine parts are 
nickel-plated, with other parts finely 
enameled and ornamented, giving it a 
rich appearance. It has an improved 
automatic bobbin winder. So simple that

The picture will show how this device 
works. In plowing sod or turning under 
weeds or grass 
this coulteruwill 
prove a great 
help. Notice its 
shape. It is al¬ 
most like taking 
your hand, with 
the thumb out, 
and pushing the 
grass down. We 
do like to see 
a clean job of 
plowing, and who can do that in weeds 
or grass unless there is some way of 
pushing the trash down and under? The 
Lambert coulter will do this work better 
than any similar implement now on the 
market. Write to Sherman & Co., Bel¬ 
fast, Me , for circulars and then make a 
move for the seven subscriptions.

Mann’s Simplex Bone Cutter. 
We have no picture of this machine. 
Enough to say that it is made in answer 
to the demand for a light and cheap ma¬ 
chine for cutting green bone, vegetables 
and clover. The excellent reputation of 
the larger machines made by this firm 
is a guarantee that this smaller machine

You can have the best cup of coffee 
with all its delicious flavor only when 
the coffee is fresh¬

do this you need a

one. This mill has

and will grind nearly one-half pound in 
a minute. Price $2 50. Given for clubs

Osborne Lever Set Harrow. 
The Hudson River fruit growers are 
loud in their praises of this tool. They 
call it the best spring-tooth barrow on 
the market because it can be set to run 
deep or shallow and regulated to work 
at any desired depth. The more we know 
about the roots of plants, the more do we 
realize the folly of slicing and slashing 
down among them. The roots of some 
plants run nearer the surface than do 
others. Think of placing a tool that, cuts 
to only one depth in the hands of a care¬ 
less man and sending him forth to slay ! 
Often have we seen the harrow and cul¬ 
tivator come home at night covered with 
roots torn out because the teeth ran too 
on in every way. We do not say to mar¬ 
ket gardeners and florists that they 
should get out and try to earn this 
mill. It is designed for stockmen who 
feed lots of grain and sadly miss the toil 
that goes to the miller. We desire to 
toll the lmell of that toll, and, here is 
your chance to do it by making up a

deep. This is sll wrong, and it may be 
entirely overcome by using this Osborne 
harrow or cultivator, because with that 
you can regulate the cut to a nicety.

The Louden Hay Sling. 
Did you ever see a load of hay slum] 
into the hay mow? If you have, you 
have doubtless been tempted to saw some 
of your big pitch forks up for fire wood 
or ball bats for the boys. The picture 
shows how the hay sling works. You 
put the ropes on the bottom of the wagon 
and npitch hay on. Then put on an- 
another sling, then more hay, and so on. 
When you drive to the barn you bring 
the ends of the sling together, hitch to 
the pulleys, start up the horse and up it 
goes to the hay mow. The sling we offer 
is made by the Louden Machinery Co., 
Fairfield, Io iva. The outfit consists of a 
self-locking pulley and two standard 
slings. You can read all about them in 
the Louden catalogue. For 25 subscrip¬

The Eclipse Corn Planter. 
This planter is made by the Eclipse 
Corn Planter Co., of Enfield, N. H., who 
will send full description on application. 
It will plant corn, peas, beans, etc., 
either in drill or hill, and will also dis¬ 
tribute fertilizer. The latter work is 
one that farmers will appreciate. They 
are all getting tired of throwing the fer¬ 
tilizer on by hand. Not only does a ma¬ 
chine do this work easier, but it puts on 
just the amount you wish—no more or no 
less. You can guage it just right—that 
is something you never can do with a 
hired man’s hand. The argument in 
favor of hand-planting corn used to be 
that you could know just what you put 
in the ground when you dropped the 
seed from your hand. The fact is that 
the mechanism in this planter is surer 
than the average finger. Remember 
for only 35 subscriptions.
