fourth easier than other plows; and that, hav¬ 
ing no standard, clogging is impossible. 
Last season was the first of their introduction 
which was mainly in the West and Northwest. 
The company made about a thousand plows as 
samples for trial, and where used they have 
received the most satisfactory reports. 
The company has but recently been organized, 
and the plow patents were issued as late as 
October 24, 1870. Mr. J. I. Cask, the founder 
and President, is of the well-known firm, J. I. 
Cask & Co,, manufacturers of threshers etc. 
THE NEW CLIMAX WRINGER. 
We would call attention to the New Climax 
Clothes Wringer advertised in another column. 
The purchase gear seems to be a “ new depar¬ 
ture " in the wringer business; inasmuch as it is 
claimed it causes the wringer to turn with half 
the labor that is required in turning the old 
style wringers, with cog-wheels of same size on 
both ends of the rolls. 
We have examined the “New Climax," and 
feel sure it possesses merits that will give it a 
loading place amoug wringers. The rolls turn a 
little slower of course ; hut, as they turn eaxur, 
the operutor naturally turns much faster than 
when turning the ordinary wringers; therefore, 
no time is really lost, and labor is lessened. The 
“ New Gliuinx " has Glaus’ patent curved clamp. 
It does not straiu, bruise or mar the tub in the 
least. It has also the Rowell double gear which 
is a practical gear and has been found to work 
very satisfactorily; as well as a tempered steel 
spring for adjusting the rolls. Altogether the 
*“ New Climax," seems to bo most desirable. 
% ¥*■ PllKU'3 is no novice in the business. In 
bta fourteen years' experience in this lino, he has 
mado many improvements in wringors ; but the 
“ New Climax” seems to bo his '* happiest hit," 
and we trust it will continue his unbroken suc¬ 
cess in bnsino88. We are so well pleased with his 
wringer that wo have concluded to add the 
“ New Climax" to our Premium List, in the 
future.

WHAT IS ASBESTOS. 
It frequently happens that a substance which 
has only been known in the laboratories and in 
the cabinets of scientific collectors is put to 
some new use, and at onco becomes an article of 
general interest. This is the case with asbestos, 
of which specimens were regarded as remarka¬ 
ble curiositius, but the applications of which 
were very limited until a few years ago, when its 
incombustible and non-conducting qualities 
were turned to account in various ways by Mr. 
II. W. Johns, of this city, who has set the 
word before the public so prominently that there 
is a general desire to know something about the 
material. It has already been hinted that asbes¬ 
tos is a mineral, and one not very familiar with 
minerals would be surprised to tiud iu a well-ar¬ 
ranged collection that some black, glassy-look¬ 
ing crystals, with well-marked angles, labeled 
hornblendes, occupy a place very near some pure 
white specimens, with a fibrous appearance and 
a satiny luster, which do not look like a miueral 
at all—asbestos. If the collection is at all full, 
there will bo fibrous masses of yellowish 
white, wliich, though soft and flexible, have 
no luster, and also specimens in which the 
fibers are distinctly seen, but are compacted 
closely together. 
Muoh of what is called asbestos is a variety of 
the very common mineral, hornblende, which in 
its most perfect form exists as baudsome black 
crystals. These minerals, hornblende and as¬ 
bestos, so unlike in appearance, are placed near 
together on account of their similar chemical 
composition, which is mainly silica, magnosia, 
and lime, with a small amount of iron in some. 
Asbestos gets its name from Creek words, 
meaning unchanged by tiro, as it is not affected 
by any ordinary heat. The common acids do 
not attack it; hence, it is of use in the chemist’s 
laboratory for various purposes, such as filtering 
acids. The non-combustible qualities were known 
to the ancients, who made a oloth from it, in 
which the dead were wrapped preparatory to 
burning and in which the ashes of the body 
were saved. They also employed it for latup- 
wicking. Among the minor uses to which asbes¬ 
tos has been put is that of making gloves for 
the use of those who have to handle hot iron. 
The finer kinds, which are pure white and silky, 
are comparatively rare and expensive, while the 
colored and more compact forms are quite abund¬ 
ant, and are found in various parts of the 
country. 
Some of the largest deposits are controlled by 
Mr. Johns, the inventor and patentee of nearly 
all of its practical uses, who at his factory re¬ 
duces it to various degrees of fineness, accord¬ 
ing to the nsos to which it is to bo put. The 
largest quantity is consumed in tho manufact¬ 
ure of a roofing material, for which tho mineral 
is reduced to a kind of flock and forms tho basis 
of a compound which is applied to a foundation 
of strong canvass, combined with an asbestos 
felt and a uitmlla lining, forming a compact, 
flexible sheet, resembling leather. This is nail¬ 
ed upon tho roof, and afterward painted over 
with Asbestos Roof-Coating, which con Hints 
largely of the mineral. Various non-conducting 
fire and water-proof articles—such as felts, 
boards, cements, etc., coatings for protecting 
wood-work which is exposed to tiro-are made 
largely of asbestos, and ti is also used to cover 
boilers and steam-pipes, to prevent tho loss of 
heat. The material has al to been employed in 
making fire-proof safes, and is now used exten¬ 
sively iu the manufacture of paints, all colors, 
ready for obo, which bid fair to become tho 
standard paints for structural purposes. 
These paints are claimed to be tho most dur¬ 
able of any in use for outride work, and as a 
muoh less quantity is required to produce a per¬ 
fect protective coating than is necessary with 
other paints—they must bo more economical. 
Oue of tho most recout applications of asbestos 
is in the making of steam-packing to uso around 
the piston-rods and other moving parts of an 
eugino, where astoam-tight joint is needed. For 
this purpose it is spun into ropes of different 
sizes. Indeed, so many uses have been found 
for what was not long ago a nearly worthless 
substance, that we shall by and by wonder how 
the world managed to get along without asbes¬ 
tos .—American Agriculturist.

Sunday, Sept. 10. Yellow lever ban broken out, 
at Kernaudtna, Florida, There is a regular stam¬ 
pede of the inhabitants. Upwartln of 100 are sick 
and 20 deaths have taken place. The Department 
of Agriculture states that the condition of the en¬ 
tire cotton crop during the first week In Septem¬ 
ber averages the same as during tho correspon¬ 
ding week last. year. 
Thu Turks heve recaptured two of tho redoubts 
near I'levua, lately captured by the Russians 
under Skobeloff- The Muscovite losses In their 
repeated assaults ou the defences or tho city are 
terribly heavy. It Is also reported that Osman

defeated several detachments of the enemy.

Monday «kpt IT.—After having been lost sight 
cf (or nearly a twelvemonth In the Interior of 
Africa, Henry M. Stanley, the adventurous 
commissioner of the N. Y. Herald, emerged on 
August 8, near the mouth of the Congo River, ou 
the west coast, after a terrible Journey across the 
continent, along the line of the Hialabu or Congo 
River, his Investigations having Anally proved 
that both these names are applied to different 
parts of the same stream. The commission to 
visit Sitting Bull have started. An army or plun¬ 
dering tramps are committing all kinds of out¬ 
rages In Delaware and Maryland, and the farmers 
are organizing vigilance committees for self-pro¬ 
tection. 
The Grand Duke Nicholas acknowledges, a loss 
of Sue officers and 12,000 men, in his attack upon 
Plevna, while on the nth Inst., hts Roumanian 
allies had lost 00 officers arid 3,000 men. There are 
a number of telegrams from different points, all 
referring to the battles about Plevna, but the 
names of places, commanders, and other Items are 
so hopelessly contused, that the senders them¬ 
selves acknowledge that It is impossible to say 
whether several of them do or do not refer to the 
same contests. They all show, however, that the 
past week has bceu terribly disastrous to the Rus¬ 
sians. These are reported to have lost 6,000 men at 
Kadlsovo, and S.OoO men and several guns on Satur¬ 
day, near Plevna. Tho redoubt Gravida which 
they lately captured and held at last accounts, Is 
plied full of dead and wounded in indiscriminate 
neaps, and la rendered nearly untenable by a con¬ 
centrated fire rrom Turkish batteries, which com¬ 
mand It at a distance of nearly 200 yards. Me-
