phlet issued by L. Jeff. Millbourne, Baltimore, 
Md., giving a list of the leading agricultural 
publications of America. 
GrapeVines and Small Fruits.— Cata¬ 
logue from Lewis Roesch, Fredonia, N. Y. 
This catalogue contains a fine picture of the 
new white grape, Diamond. Other fruits are 
pictured. 
Minnesota Experiment Station —Bulle¬ 
tin No. 2, is sent by Edward D. Porter, St. 
Anthony Park, Minn. This contains some 
valuable information regarding silos and 
silage. 
Ohio Ensilage Cutters. —Catalogue from 
the Silver & Deming M’f’g., Co., Salem, Ohio. 
This firm advertises the “largest and most 
complete line of ensilage cutters and carriers 
in the market.” Examine the catalogue. 
Ohio Experiment Station.— Bulletin No. 
1 of the Second Series is sent by W. R. Lazen- 
by, Columbus, Ohio. It contains a general 
history of the Station with the proposed plans 
for work under the provision of the Hatch bill. 
American Horticultural Society.— 
President Parker Earle’s address at the meet¬ 
ing in San Jose, Cal., is sent out by Secretary 
W. H. Ragan, Greencastle, Ind., who shows 
commendable enterprise in this early publica¬ 
tion. 
Guns, Rifles and Revolvers.— Catalogue 
from C. E. Overbaugh & Co., New York. 
This catalogue is well filled with pictures and 
descriptions of fire arms of the latest styles. 
A “crow gun,” just the thing for handling the 
black corn robbers, is advertised here. 
Wisconsin Horticultural Society.— 
Volume 18 of this publication contains the 
transactions of this society for the year 1887. 
It is sent by Secretary B. S. Hoxie, Madison, 
Wis. This volume is excellent in every way, 
one of the very best of the series. 
The Chinch Bug.—B ulletin No. 17 from 
the U. S. Department of Agriculture is a very 
timely one and is excellently prepared. A 
general summary of the history of the chinch 
bug with its habits, enemies, and the remedies 
and preventives to be used against it is given 
in a concise and readable style. Farmers 
will find this pamphlet valuable in more ways 
than one. 
New York Experiment Station.— Direc¬ 
tor Peter Collier sends out a pamphlet, giving 
some of the reasons why additional appro¬ 
priations are needed for the Geneva Experi¬ 
ment Station. It is addressed to the members 
of the State Legislature and presents the Sta¬ 
tion’s case about as forcibly as possible. All 
who are in any way interested in the Station 
ought to read it. 
Hay Tools. —Catalogue from the Janes¬ 
ville Hay Tool Co., Janesville, Wis. Strick- 
ler’s reversible Dead Lock hay carrier is the 
tool mainly advertised, and this is so minutely 
described and illustrated that any one can un¬ 
derstand its workings. A hay carrier is a 
great convenience, in fact, in these times, where 
a large amount of hay is to be handled, it is 
just about a necessity. All hay makers will 
be interested in this catalogue. 
Keystone. —The catalogue of the Keystone 
Manufacturing Co., Sterling, Ill., is an excel¬ 
lent publication. It would require too much 
space even to mention all the implements de¬ 
scribed aud illustrated here. At this time we 
can only call attention to the cutters for hay 
or silage and the Keystone hay loader. The 
cutter we believe to be strong, durable and 
effective. We know that the hay loader is a 
wonderful machine, a great convenience in 
the hay field where “pitching on” is now the 
hardest work. Send for the catalogue and 
examine it. 
Belle City Fodder Cutters.— Catalogue 
from the Belle City Manufacturing Co. Ra¬ 
cine, Wisconsin. This excellent pamphlet 
contains illustrations of the ensilage tools 
made by this house, with good descriptions 
and facts concerning them. About every tool 
needed in the course of silage from the seed to 
to the silo will be found here. The large cut¬ 
ters will be found excellent by those who wish 
to take them from house to house as thrashing 
machines are taken. Some dozen pages are 
devoted to silos and silage, and there are few 
Tublications that contain, in an equal space, 
more information on this subject. Send for 
the catalogue. 
Backstrom Centrifugal Separator.— 
Catalogue from the Backstrom Separator Co., 
10 West 23d. St., New York. We have fre¬ 
quently spoken of this separator. It is a good 
one, and all dairymen or creamerymen who 
have use for such an implement should send 
for this catalogue. 
Royal Salt. —Circulars from Butter Pre¬ 
servative Salt Co., 384 West 11th St.—We 
have often called attention to this salt, which, 
so far as we have tried it, has proved excel¬ 
lent in every way. Two years ago various 
dairy authorities claimed that it contained 
salicylic acid. This is emphatically and posi¬ 
tively denied by the manufacturers, who defy 
chemists to make such a showing. As to the 
preservative powers of the salt, there can be 
no question. Dairymen and creamerymen all 
over the country are using it, and we have 
examined some of the strongest testimonials in 
its favor. We invite dairymen to examine 
this circular. 
The Perfection Road Cart.— Catalogue 
from A. L. Pratt & Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. 
Few people realize what rapid strides the road 
cart business is taking. The fact is that these 
two-wheeled vehicles are so popular that the 
product of carriages and four-wheeled vehi¬ 
cles has been materially lessened. It is’ esti¬ 
mated that 100,000 of these carts were made 
in the United States last year, and that Mich¬ 
igan made 60 per cent, of this number. The 
“Perfection” cart possesses several points of 
superiority, which are well set forth in the 
catalogue. We believe it to be a strong, well- 
made vehicle, which will be reasonably sure 
to please. Send for the catalogue and look it 
up- 
That Tired Feeling 
Is experienced by almost everyone at this season, and 
many people resort to Hood’s Sarsaparilla to drive 
away the languor and exhaustion. The blood laden 
with impurities which have been accumulating for 
months, moves sluggishly through the veins, the mind 
fails to think quickly, and the body is still slower to 
respond. Hood’s Sarsaparilla Is just what is needed. 
It purifies, vitalizes and enriches the blood, makes 
the head clear, creates an appetite, overcomes that 
tired feeling. 
“My appetite was poor, I could not sleep, had head¬ 
ache a great deal, pains in my back, my bowels did not 
move regularly. Hood’s Sarsaparilla, In a short time 
did me so much good that I feel like a new- man. My 
pains and aches are relieved, my appetite improved. 
I say to others, who need a good medicine try Hood’s 
Sarsaparilla and see.” George F. Jackson, Roxbury 
Station, Conn. 
"I take Hood’s Sarsaparilla as a spring tonic, and I 
recommend it to all who have that miserable tired feel 
ing.” C. Parmelbe, 349 Bridge street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

than I, and fewer still at my age (49) are in more perfect 
health than I am now. The same means will cure you— 
either sex. 
The Cincinnati Christian Standard says: “We have 
seen testimonials from sufferers and they all verify the 
:ood results obtained from his simple remedies. We 
—now Mr. Stoddard personally, and can vouch for the 
truthfulness of his statements. He has been in business 
in Buffalo for 22 years, always doing just as he agreed to.

money.”
