tallied in the direction of milk and butter. Among the latter is our staunch friend Mr. 
W. S. Upton, of Mount Upton, New York, the man to whom the Walter A. Wood Self- 
binding Reaper was presented last year. For 20 years be has been breeding with this end in 
view; be has now 18 selected females, which take no mean position as dairy cows. In his 
herd he has used such sire3 as Beau of Winfield 38676; 10th Baron of Mnrley 28530, Ba¬ 
ron Bates 3d 11331, Waterloo 47224, and is now using Waterloo of Upton, a son of the 
above, out of Golden Beauty, a cow giving, on grass alone, 52 pounds of milk per day. This 
bull is a rich roan, and shows in bis get that he stamps his calves with the milking quali¬ 
ties of bis dam, as is shown by the heifers. The bull calf from Waterloo of Upton, nut of 
some one of the 18 cows recorded, kept till of suitable age and delivered free to the R. R. 
at Mt. Upton, worth $100, will be given to the sender of the 4th largest club. Some 
dairy community cannot do better than to make an effort and secure this bull. 
No. 5 Eureka Mower. 
In the Eureka the cutter box is directly behind the horses and in front of the drive- 
wheels. There are two sizes, cutting six aud seven feet wide, and as the horses do not tread 
on the cut grass, it is left in the best possible condition for drying. We have been using a 
six-foot-cut Eureka for some five years, cutting each year from 80 to 100 acres of the 
stoutest grass; we consider it indispensable, and would no sooner think of going back to 
a narrow, side-cutting mower than we would to the old hand rake reaper. Any ordinary 
pair of farm horsescaD handle our six foot-cut with more ease than they could the four foot 
side-cut machine, and they easily cut ope half more acres in a day. No matter how 
heavy the grass, (and with our heavy manuring it is heavy enough), the Eureka 
Dever falters. So long as time is money and horse flesh costs money, we shall never ceaso 
the use of the Eureka mower, as it saves both time aud horse fle^h. It is made by the 
Eureka Mower Company, Utica, N. Y, Price $90. We shall take pleasure in giving this to

material, tbev have succeeded in making a wagon that has no superior. The great specialty 
of manufacture by the Columbus Baggy Company is the Brewster Side bar wagon, which 
is now a very popular wagon with Americans. For business men as well as pleasure-drives it 
has no equal, being light, strong durable, and it is acknowledged by carriage makers and horse¬ 
men to be the best wagon ever introduced. We give above a cut of their No. 6 Brewster wagon, 
which is made in their best manner; hasa handsome buffed leather top and side curtains; has 
tubular bow-sockets; the bows are leather covered; leather cushions and fall; velvet rag and Peter’s 
patent le tber dash. In fact, ibere is no better wagon made. Price $200. We will give this 
splendid wagon, boxed and delivered aboard the cars at Columbus, Ohio, to the person send¬ 
ing the second largest dub. Here is a chance to get a splendid wagon fora very little work. 
Send to the Columbus Buggy Company, Columbus, Ohio, for tbeir circular, see what a 
fine wagon this is, and then go to work and secure it. You can do it. 
No. 3- The Empire Grain and Fertilizer Drill. 
We would as soon think of going back to the old way of cutting our grain with the 
cradle as to sow it by hand. Such a method is very laborious, takes more time, more seed, 
and the grain is very unevenly covered, and the whoie operation is liable to be stopped at 
any point by storms. We sow everything with the drill, not only all the sowed grains, 
but corn, beets, turnips, beans, etc. 
The Empire Drill is made by one of the oldest and most reliable drill houses in thi» 
country, and in making drills they have arways kept in the fromt rank, ana the Empire 
is their latest and best drill. For a grain feed, it uses a device that is positive in its action 
with hut a aiugle delivery for all kinds of grain. It takes the seeds from the extreme 
bottom of the hopper, and, with a large passage, carries it forward and drops it in a 
continuous, unvarying stream, and with uo possibility of cloggiag. The quantity of seed 
per acre is regulated by the rapidity with which the feed wheels are rotated, and as this 
is positively governed by the gear used, there is no kind of guess-work as to how much seed 
is used. Nothing could be more simple, as only three pieces are used in the whole device 
aod still nothing could be more efficient. The Empire has also a Force Peed Fertilizer At¬ 
tachment. so constructed that the size of the discharge is never altered, consequently it 
doe*notcl n g when sowing only a small quantity. There is nothing working through the 
body of the fertilizer in the box, nor does the mass ever become pasty and refuse to feed, 
but the last ounce will ruu out and the discharge is even, constant and accurate. There 
is no guess work in this drill. Each revolution of the feed works takes out a definite quantity, 
and as it is made to revolve faster or slower, more or lees Is sown.. 
A grass seeder, made on ♦he same principle, is also attached to the drill, which works with 
equal accuracy and certainty, so that at a single operation, the grain and grass are sowu. 
The tubes or hoes are constructed with a spring, in such a manner that, while they 
can be set at any angle, they will, on coming in contact with a stone or other obstruction, 
at once give back aud pass over it without breaking, resuming their proper positiou 
instantly. The lever and roller which elevate the tubes are on a new principle and so con¬ 
structed that the feed is shut off before the tube3 are taken from the ground, so tbafc no 
seed is scattered on the surface to be left uncovered. Nothing can give better satisfac¬ 
tion than the Empire drill, and we shall take great pleasure in giving it to the friend to 
whom it shall belong. 
It is made by the Empire Drill Company, of Shortsville, Ontario County, N. Y. Its 
price is $100, and it is worth more money. It will be given to the subscriber sending us

The manufacturers, the great star wood and 
iron pump makers and bunting aud fishing

gau, 111., warrant it never to blow to pieces 
so long as the tower stands, claiming that it 
will stand wind storms better than auy other.

hoes grow as much as a full feed of dry corn,

barrels, etc., scalding hogs, and numerous 
other things, this steam generator is just what 
is needed. It is made of No. 12 boiler iron, 
and so made as to have a large heating sur¬

cattle food, heating drinking water, healing

visited farms provided with all tho improved 
machines that could be used to lessen the 
labors of tho farm; aud iu the house found 
the wife toiliog with a noisy, bard run¬ 
ning, rickety machine, enough to craze 
aud fret and worry her to death. On inquiry 
we have been surprised at the Ignorance of the 
comparative merits of the different machines. 
We never could quite see why people would 
buy the old -style low arm, cog wheeled, hard- 
running, noisy machines, when with about the 
same money an improved light naming, 
noiseless, high arm could be purchased. The 
Avpry machine which we show in the cut, 
and which we off^r ns a gift to those of our 
friends who send us clubs, is the latest triumph 
of inventive genius. It is a high-arm machine,
