jp^TENT^E^^ BLuSoTlN^ PIPE 
*SAFE, §TM<0>W.CJ, AM© I5HJES AISLE. 
It is recommended by the Medical fac¬ 
ulty, indorsed bv Water Boards, Agri¬ 
culturalists, Engineers, and Experts; 
introduced into all the new 
PUBLIC SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, DIS¬ 
PENSARIES, 
and most of the new first-class buildings. 
It gives perfect satisfaction wherever 
used, and, added to its sanitary advan¬ 
tages. it is cheaper and stronger than 
lead pipe. 
All danger of lead poisoning prevented. This is the only 
pipe in the market which combines all the requisites of a 
lerfect Water Pipe—Sanitary, Mechanical, and Economical. 
iVater flows through it as pure as if drawn through silver. 
To furnish cost per loot, give us head or pressure of water, 
and bore of pipe. 
Also, manufacturers of Sheet Tin, Solder, &c. Circulars 
sent iree.

FROM THE 
“AMERICAN AGReCULTDRlST.” 
New York, November, 1SG7. 
“SAFE PIPE FOR DRINKING WATER.—Lead poison¬ 
ing from water brought ill lead pipe, is the often unsuspected 
cause of disease and death. Galvanized iron pipe, wood and 
cement pipe, are expensive and inconvenient substances, so 
that people will risk their lives and use lead. The Lead- 
encased Block-tin Pipe is even cheaper than lead, and we 
believe perfectly safe. Our faith in it lias led us recently to 
lay some eighty feet of it, through which all our drinking 
water is drawn.”

• Speaking of the Novelty Clothes Wringer exhibited 
at the late Fair of the American Institute, the New 
York Liberal Christian says: 
“The Novelty Wringer received the marked approbation 
of the jury, and was awarded the HIGHEST PREMIUM. 
* * 41 It is now admitted that it lias no equal as a family 
wringer. * * * It has the Patent Flange Cog- 
Wheels on both ends of the Rolls, as well as the most ap¬ 
proved appliances for adjusting the pressure, so that a fine 
lace collar, or a heavy woollen blanket can be run through 
with equal facility and without injury. * * * Indeed,in all re¬ 
spects, its superiority is so apparent that the high testimonials 
it is constantly receiving can he readily accounted for. * * * 
In fact, whenever and wherever exhibited it invariably se¬ 
cures the highest honors.”

WILLARD and EARLY ROSE. 
Mr. C. W. Gleason, of Mass., one of the three gentle¬ 
men to whom the lute Mr. Goodrich was accustomed to send 
out his new seedling potatoes for testing before introducing 
them to the public, and in honor of whom he named his 
Gleason potato, has for years probably been more largely 
engaged in raising new seedling potatoes than any man in 
New England. Last spring I purchased of him the entire 
stock ot his “Willard’’ seedling (a seedling from tile Early 
Goodrich), which he considers tlm best of all the hundreds 
of seedlings he lias thns far raised. The “ Willard ” proves 
to be enormously productive and is a potato of great prom¬ 
ise. I now offer to 6end one potato of this new seedling, 
gratis, with every peck of Early Rose ; live with each bushel, 
and sixteen with eacli barret. 
My stock of Early Rose was procured directly from the 
original grower, and is warranted true. My rates this
