Pure White Winter-Wheat, 
1,500,000 ACRES 
All things considered, and on good, clean, rich, dry land, 
the DIEHL is the best variety of WHITE Wheat now grown. 
The straw is very stiff, the head very plump and full, and 
the yield on good land eminently satisfactory. The greatest 
difficulty we have experienced with it is to get pure seed. 
It is almost impossible to find ic unmixed with Mediterra¬ 
nean and other red varieties. For some years past, many 
readers ot the American Agriculturist have written to me 
for seed, but I have never been able to get any that I 
thought pure. I have now, however, the pleasure of stating 
that I raised this year ten acres of DIEHL WHEAT that 
is the PUREST I have ever seen, and I can send it out with 
confidence. 
I will send^/bi^r poujids by mail, prepaid, to any address, 
on receipt of OXE DOLLAR. 
I will send by express or as freight, at the following-rates: 
K bushel.$3 00 
1 bushel.... .. 5 00 
2 bushels. 9 00 
6 bushels. 25 09 
10 bushels. 40 00 
Larger quantities at the same rate, or $4 per bushel. 
The Wheat will be put in strong, new bags, carefully 
directed, and delivered at express office or freight-house 
without any extra charge. 
Orders will be filled immediately. Address

TA¥LOR!S HORSE AND CATTLE FOOD 
is used with great success in fattening horses, cattle, and 
swine. It gives a good appetite, acts on the kidneys, de¬ 
stroys worms, and gives a glossy coat. Stage proprietors, 
dairymen, farmers, stock dealers, and other reliable gentle¬ 
men have given it a thorough trial, and say it is the best 
article they have ever used for putting and for keeping stock 
in a good, healthy condition.
