AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
DIALOGUE. 
Extract from Report of Farmers’ Club. 
WILLIAM D. OSBORN.—“Will the 
Club give us its opinion of Wash¬ 
ing-machines? Is it economy to 
pay fourteen dollars for one of 
Doty’s machines? Washing-ma¬ 
chines have so generally proved 
to be failures that I am afraid of 
throwing away my money upon 
one.” 
SOLON ROBINSON.—" If you had 
to pay ten times the money you 
mention, it would be the best in¬ 
vestment you ever made upon your 
farm. But you must not have that 
alone. Cet the Universal Clothes- 
Wringer with it, and your wife and 
children will rise up and call you 
blessed, for they will find washing 
made easy.” 
The following testimonials have been given : 
“ JVe like our machine much ; could not be 
persuaded to do without it, and with the aid 
of Doti/, we feel that we arc masters of the 
position.”—REV. RUSH OR SCOTT, M. E. 
CHURCH. 
“ It is worth one dollar per iveek in any 
family _ N. Y. TRIBUNE. 
“ I give it the most unqualified praise, and 
pronounce it an indispensable part of the 
machinery/ of housekeeping.” — REV. HEN¬ 
RY IVA JtD HEECilER. 
“In the laundry of my house there is a 
perpetual thanksgiving on Mondays for the 
invention of if our excellent WRINGER.”— 
REV. THEODORE L. CUYLER. 
“Every week has given it a stronger hold 
upon the affections of the inmates of the 
laundry.”—NEW YORE OBSERVER. 
BOTH THESE MACHINES HAVE RECENTLY 
BEEN GREATLY IMPROVED. 
You may prove the above state¬ 
ments true by sending the retail 
price: Washer, $14; Extra Cog- 
Wheel Wringer, $9; and we will 
forward to places where no one 
is selling, either or both, free of 
charges. If, after a trial of one 
month, you are not entirely satis¬ 
fied, we will REFUND THE MONEY 
on the return of the machines.

where. R. C. BROWNING,

HOWE A, STEVENS’ 
FAMILY DYE COLORS. 
CAUTION. 
All persons who keep HoWe & Stevens’ Family Dye 
Colors for sale can be relied on for fair dealing, for the rea¬ 
son that they cost the retailer twenty-five cents per dozen 
more than other kinds of Dyes in tiie market, while he re¬ 
tails them all at tiie same price ; consequently he makes 
twenty-five cents per dozen more by selling an inferior article. 
YVe publish this caution to guard our customers against 
imposition. Accept none but Howe & Stevens’ Patent 
Family Dye Colous. They are the original inventors of 
an improvement which originated this branch of business, 
and made dyeing a domestic art. They iiave had, also, five 
years’ experience in this particular business, and have been 
constantly improving the quality of their Dyes. All the 
colors, both in liquid and powder form, are manufactured 
by the undersigned, and we can supply our customers with 
either. The liquids do not require so inucii time in dyeing; 
but tiie powder colors will color the most goods, anil cost 
tiie same per package. In coloring blacks, browns and drabs, 
we would advise tiie use of tiie powder colors in preference 
to the liquid, unless for ribbons or some very small article.
