Nos. 17, IS, 19. Columbia Bicycle. 
Here w e have a premium that w ill please 
our many friends. Nothing equals it for 
rapidity and case of travel. The bicycle is 
a peculiar vehicle. Approaches to it had long 
ago been made in pcdimotive and manurao- 
tive carriages, and especially in two-wheeled 
velocipedes. The Bicycle proper has super¬ 
seded all of them, and stands to-day w ithout 
a rival as a rapid and easy mode of travel. 
No horse can compare 
with it for endurance ; no 
other pastime is half so 
fascinating, and the ex¬ 
ercise is recommended 
by the medical profession 
as being the most con¬ 
ducive to health. People 
have traveled over a 
common turnpike road a 
distance of 100 miles in 
seven hours, and 1,400 
miles in six days. 
We olfer three styles 
of this popular vehicle, s 
all of which are fully 
warranted by the Pope

ment Farm during the past season, and we 
are convinced that no corn-grower can afford

wagon, we have arranged with Mitchell, Lewis 
& Co., Racine, Wisconsin, to supply us with 
those wagons. Every wagon fully warranted. 
Price, $120. Givpn for 200 subscribers. 
No. 16. Acme Harrow. 
Manufactured by Nash & Bio., 22 College 
Place, New York, and Harrisburg, Pa. This 
excellent implement, the invention of a man 
who is himself a practical fanner as well as 
mechanic, who had previously invented the 
revolving disc or wheel harrow, seems destined 
to win a wide popularity. Its sale during the 
present season has grown rapidly, and testi¬ 
monials, unsolicited, come from every source, 
highly commending it and praising the work¬ 
ings of this implement. 
It is one that combines a clod-crusher, 
levelerand harrow all in one. It is invaluable 
for all purposes where a harrow is needed, and 
is particularly adapted to hard, inverted sod, 
to be without at least one good com drill. 
The drill here shown drops with regularity 
one grain in a place, and is so arranged that 
it can be adjusted to deposit them 12, 16 or 
20 inches apart, to suit the requirements of 
various kinds of soils. It also at the same 
operation does the covering uniformly in 
depth, and its covering shares can be adjusted 
to cover deep or shallow. There is economy 
in its use, from the fact that no thinning is 
necessary and no replanting either, in case 
good seed is sown. Price $15. Given for a 
club of 20 subscribers. Iioosier Drill Co., 
Richmond, Ind. 
No. 21. Pearce’s Improved Galloon’s 
Patent Broadcast Seeder. 
This seeder sows 
from four to eight 
acres per hour at a 
common walkinggai l, 
throwing out wheat 
about forty feet wide. 
A saving of four-fifths 
of the labor and one- 
third of the seed used 
in hand-sowing, is ef¬ 
fected by using these 
machines. A person 
entirely unused to 
sowing by hand can use them with perfect 
success. Price §6. Given for 12 subscribers.

No. 22. The Czar Revolver. 
The Czar Revolver, represented by the 
above cut (which shows J4 of size) is a de¬ 
cidedly handsome weapon. Its sale has been 
unprecedented, and it is guaranteed by the 
manufacturers to be equal in workmanship, 
material and action to any weapon made. 
It is 22 calibre, extra long steel barrel. The

graved. The frame and barrel are triple 
nickel silver plated, and the cylinder and 
base pin are heavily gold plated. We send

a club of only 9 subscribers. Made by G. W. 
Turner & Ross, Boston, Mass. 
No. 23. The Cooley Creamer. 
Manufactured by the Vermont Farm Ma¬ 
chine Co., Bellows Falls, Vt. 
The cut shown represents the “Regular,” 
which lias been selected as the style best 
adapted to the wants of our patrons. It has 
been upon the rnaiket for four years, and has 
met with, favor wherever used. The use of 
creamers is becoming so popular, and the re¬ 
sults obtained by submerging milk in cold 
water so far supercedes the old method of 
separation in shallow pans, that no word of 
recommendation is necessaiy from us to prove 
the utility of this method, and we think our 
dairy friends will gladly avail themselves of 
the offer here made. We will send a Creamer 
same as style shown for 50 subscribers at $2, 
The price is $35.

Fertilizer Drill. 
Made by the Farmers' Friend Manufac¬ 
turing Co., Dayton, O. For 12 years this 
drill has been before the public, and its 
essential features remain to-day as when it 
was introduced. The manufacturers, after 
years of careful study, put this drill upon the 
market, and so nearly perfect was it that the 
principles of its construction first adopted 
have been adhered to. The illustration shows 
the drill in working order.

plete ; that is, a nine hoe, eight inch drill, 
with spring hoes, fertilizer and grass-seed 
attachments, rear hoe-shifter, and land-meas¬ 
urer, for 140 subscribers. Price $115. 
No. 27. The Osborne Plow Sulky. 
Probably no implement has ever been in¬ 
vented that is more labor-saving than is a 
reliable Plow Sulky. The one "here shown 
has been upon the market since 1870, has 
been tried in almost every locality and in all 
kinds of soils, and lias never been found de¬ 
ficient or wanting in any of the essential

among stock-breeders, and their being 
comparatively inexpensive, with no

adjustable in depth by a thumb-nut, and a 
marker for rows up to 20 inches. It has a 
capacity of 2)1 quarts. The di 
ings all adjust to the 
same size at once, 
and admit of the 
most minute altera¬ 
tion, instead of re¬ 
stricting the opera¬ 
tor to a series of holes, none 
the size wanted. The covering is done in 
the most perfect manner by the rims of the 
carrying wheels upon which the dirt is first 
thrown by the plow, and from which, as the 
The Loring & Blake Organ Co., Worcester, 
Mass., supply us with this organ. In select¬ 
ing a suitable instrument of this class to offer 
as a premium, we. were guided by the advice 
of musical friends, and the style we give is 
thought to be exactly suited to the require¬ 
ments of the country home. The cut above 
shows the style of the ease used. It is neat 
in workmanship, and finished in hand¬ 
somely carved ornaments. The organ is 
furnished with three sets of reeds—one of 
twenty-eight notes and two of thirty-three 
notes each. The power is sufficient to fill 
any ordinary room completely, and it will 
lead a fair sized chorus without difficulty. 
The seven stops—diapason, euphone, eolian, 
melodia, vox celeste, tremolo and forte, with 
the patent knee swell, produce a fine combi¬ 
nation of musical effects. Brice $205. Given 
for a gjqb of 170 subscribers at fs.oa each.
