No. 81 .—Scroll Saw.—Price $ 3 . 00 . 
Tine Prize Holly. 
When scroll or “jig” saws were first introduced, they 
were rather rude machines, and their performance far 
from satisfactory. They were at once in such demand 
that improvements were rapidly made in them, and in 
the Holly we have one of the most perfect. In select¬ 
ing a Scroll Saw for a Premium, we decided upon this, 
as it will do all that can be done by any such saw, and 
the excellence of its finish and ease of working, make 
it superior to most others. The great number of useful 
and ornamental articles that may be made by the aid of 
a scroll saw, make it most desirable in a family of young 
people, as both boys and girls can find pleasing occu¬ 
pation in working with it. 
PREPARING FOR CHRISTMAS. 
Those who are troubled to know what to give their 
friends as holiday presents, may be sure that some article 
which they have made themselves will be vastly more 
acceptable and more highly valued than a much more 
costly present that has been purchased. The Scroll Saw 
allows one to make a great variety of pleasing articles in 
woods of various kinds, tortoise shell, horn, etc. This 
saw has an improved Clamp for firmly holding the 
blades; a Tilting Table, an Emery Wheel, and a holder 
for drills, making it very complete. Its weight is only 
thirty pounds, and its simplicity is such that it may be 
readily set up.

The Dcmas Prize. 
There are many things in ornamental work that can 
only be conveniently made in a Lathe, and an attachment 
to a Scroll Saw, by which small articles could be turned 
has long been desired. 
This combination has been happily effected in the ! 
Dcmas Prize Combined Lathe and Scroll Saw. The ! 
Scroll Saw is an excellent one, and, being mounted on the I 
heavy frame required for the Lathe, it works with great 
steadiness. All of the working parts are well finished, 
and the following measurements show

No. 83. — The Planet Jr. Carden 
Implements.— Price $14.00.—A Seed Sower not 
only saves seed by distributing it more regularly than is 
possible in hand sowing, but saves a great deal of back- 
aching work. It must be a small garden in which it will 
not pay to use a seed sower, and in market-gardens it is 
indispensable. THE PLANET JR., while an efficient 
implement in sowing the seeds, is readily converted into 
a cultivator for weeding and dressing the plants after 
they are up. Indeed, instead of a cultivator, it would be 
more proper to say, several cultivators, each suited to 
. ■ 
particular crops, or to different stages of the same crop. 
The superiority of a good hand cultivator over the com¬ 
mon hoe is as great as that of a seed drill over hand sow¬ 
ing, and it relieves gardening of much of its hard work. 
The various changes possible in the Planet Jr. imple¬ 
ment are in part shown in the engravings, but to learn 
the full capabilities of the implement, and how it maybe 
adapted to some farm crops as well as those of the gar¬ 
den, the descriptive pamphlets published by the makers, 
should be consulted. We will supply the Planet Jr. for 
$14.00; OR. present it for 15 subscriptions at $1.50 
each. Freight to be paid by recipient.
