AfiVVCTTtTElL. Management of Sheep. A correspon dent jrives some excellent advice in the Countrf Otntleman concerning the tnan agmentof nheep, from which we quote the following: The number of shoep in a summer flock, if the pasture is not rough, there by causing too much travel by the sheep to get their living, may oe as many as the owner can oversee and care for; in the winter not more than I0 should be kent together, and a smaller flock is preferable in every respect. Sheep, if kept in large nocks, do not winter as well, besides wasting more feed in pro portion. As to which breed will stand the greatest amount of cold, probably the Vermont merinoes suffer the leat from cold, but any sheep, if strong and healthy, with plenty to eat, will endure any amount of cold weather if they are only kept in a dry yard and have a dry place to eat and sleep in. Here is the great cause or lallure in many cases muddy yards and leaky sheds, or worse no sheds at all. The best food for sheep I ever used, all tilings considered, is good, bright, early-cut hay, and one peck of corn and oats, mixed equal parw to 100 sheep daily. Koots may be well enough but, one season cured me of any desire to raise and feed them. The sheds for 200 ewes should con tain 2,000 square feet of flooring, and more is better; each sheep needs at least ten wiuare feet of siiace. Opinions difler as to the number of sheep to he apportioned to one ram ; manv think looenoush. Unless every thing is arranged for the purpose of raising very early or winter lamDs, it is best to have them come about the time grass grows; but to do this, a pas ture must be had convenient to the barn, as they should be guarded nights during the lambing season, and seen frequently through the day. The bes"t rack I ever saw was simply C-inch boards nailed to posts likr a com mon board fence, 8 inches apart, three hoards in height, with periiendicular slats 4 inches wide, 12 inches apart; rark 18 inches wide, if only one side is used, 30 inches if both sides are used. I-arnt8 ought to be weaned when from sixteen to eighteen weeks old, in order that the ewes may get in good condition for winter. For a beginner it is best to avoid ex tremes; build no fancy sheds: wait un til you know all about it from experi ence; get good sound stock, not too old; use them well, in a simple, common sense manner, and they will p:iy from the beginning. Knt-Proof Corn Cril.. After laboring for a whole season to make and harvest a crop, it frequently happens that the farmer, by negligence or inability to protect the fruit of his laborsin a proper manner, loses a very large proortion of it by wate of one kind or other, or by vermin. A corn planter in a great grain growing state of the west, fur nishes the following plan, which may lie availed of by any ot our readers who may have an intention of building a corn house, to protect his crop from one of the most mischievous of those pests which infest his premises. A writer suggests that the "philosophy" of this writer's plan the taper of the posts downward is to prevent the rats from climbing them. This being the case it would hardlv be necessary to go to all the trouble proposed by him make your posts larger, dressing them to a Li per and setting them into the ground with the small end down. But to the plan : "Arrange for corner posts, each, say, eight inches square, frame the sills which are to support the floor of the corn crib, into the posts at a distance of two feet from the lower end. Itefore putting the frame together, taper the j lower ends of the posts for the distance of two feet, so that at the very base the posts shall be only four inches square. X6w, when the frame is set . up, let these posts stand also on tapered blocks. If the crib needs more than these four jsjsts to bear up the corn that will le put into it, make legs like the lower portions of these posts, and set these legs under the sills. Now lay the joists or sleejiers on the sills, and put on the floor, making the latter light, and which will be about three feet from the ground. Have the door made tight, and keep it shut, and no rats will get into your crib." Baltimore Amerirnn. Corn-Call Meal. An Indiana farmer writing to the Germantown TtUyraiih, says: About twelve years ago nearly all the farmers in this" part of the State bought "corn and cob crushers," and expected to fatten their stock on the chops which the machine made. The crusher performed its part well enough but the trouble was that the ignorant cows would not eat the meal, and Anally could not be coaxed into the stable as long as there was a sign of the meal there, whila the hogs left their pens and took refuge in the woods. We finally concluded that cob-mal was only valuable as a substitute for sawdust. I have heard a great many "book farmers" argue in favor of grind ing of the cobs witli the corn, but after trying it they invariably gave up the idea that there was any ioo.l in the cob. If any one has a desire to try theexper iment, let him grind the cobs alone, and see if he can induce any of his stock to sat it. That will convince him that cobs as food are entirely worth less. Egg for Setting. An English agri cultural paper says that eggs intended for setting should be stored with the large end down, liecause the air bubble does not spread so much as when the small end is down this spreading of the air bubble being known to affect the freshness and vitality of the egg. Kggs stored with the large end down will keep perfectly good for hatching more than a month, while the others annot be depended on after two weeks. The Kew Kngland Farmer says a suc cessful poultry breeder in Franklin, Mass., has been exiierimenting with egg for setting and declares the above statement correct, and adds that eggs stored on the large end for a few weeks before setting wiil hatch at once, in stead of varying several hours, as is usually the case with eggs not so pre pared." Grarel as a Mutch. A writer iu tiie HorticHUurifl states that he has found gravel as a mulch for trees set out in the public ground and on streets promotes their growth In one case every tree with its roots covered with about four inches of gravel anil set on a side walk grew well, while the same kind of trees set out on much better soil, but without the gravel mulch, grew very little, and about one half died, notwith standing they were mulched with grass straw and litter, were sometimes watered, and shortened in. The Lire Stock Journal rays: "For draft work with a walking gait, whether on the farm or in the city, the best ration is corn aud oats, or corn and barley ground together, and mixed with moistened cut hay. In this case, mix 10 pounds hay, 10" pounds of the mixed meal, and , ound of the oil-meal, or 8 pounds of the meal with 4 of fine bran costing in most places not over 25 cents per day. Sound Timber. To test the soundness of a piece of timber, apy the ear to the middle of one of the ends while another person strikes upon the oppo site extremity. If the wood is sound and of good quality, the blow is very distinctly heard, if the wood is disin tegrated by decay or otherwise, the sound will be for the most part de stroyed. Some tteds can be killed aud preven ted from growing in garden paths by watering the ground with a weak solu tion of carbolic acid, 1 part pure crys talized acid to 2,000 parts water. Sprinkle from a watering pot. j HCIKJTiriC - The Water Shell. A. correspondent writing from Okehampton, England, where some artillery experiment; have recently been made, states that the trials have been successful in proving the great value of the new water shell, which will at once be adopted as a ser vice weapon. The effects of this novel instrument of warfare surpass in de structive power the renowued Shrap nel shell ; and in one experiment when a batterr of the Koval Horse Artillery waa in action, as many as fitty-one hits were recorded with the new anew, airainst twenty-eight made by the Shrapnel, fitted with time fuses. The wooden dummies, which represnted the enemy drawn np in loose order, one pace apart, in the manner of an ad vancing army, were struck again and aeain bv the minute fraementa of the water shells, which, according to our correspondent, inflicted wonnus ot a far more dangerous nature than those made by the Shrapnel or common shell. The nature of the water shell may be explained in a few words. It is not a projectile of special constrnction, but simply a common shell or cast iron cyl inder containing a quarter or, at the most, half an ounce of jrun cotton : it is then hermetically sealed ; a few grains of fulminate of mercury is piacea oe t ween the gun cotton and the fuse, and, as soon as the latter is fitted, the shell is ready for firing. The charge of gunpowder used in the same sized shell is sixteen ounces, the explosion of which breaks the shell np into 3 or 4 pieces, whereas the one charged with half an ounce of gun cot ton flies into a hundred or more frag ments. The reason is this : The gun powder explodes comparatively slowly, and breaks np the shell at its weak points, while the gun cotton detonates with a sudden and terrible force, which being communicated to a non-compressible body (water), bursts the shell in stantly into minute fragments, the en ergy being exerted equally on all sides. So rapid and terrible is the force gen erated by the gun cotton that the iron shell is sometimes pulverized, the frag ments of metal being so minute as scarcely to be visible. The idea of thisterribleshcll is due to Trofesor Abel, the scientific referee of the English war department, who is al so the patenee of a process to manu facture gun cotton, by which process, it appears from our corresioudcnt a letter, the gnn cotton is rendered the safest as well as one of the most pow erful of all known explosives ; being kept always in a wet state, preyentwir accident WHlioiii nimiuisuiUK us ein eucy. The English, German, and French governments have adopted this new form of gun cotton for torpedoes and shells, as well as for military engineer ing aud submarine mining. Tones in Teleriranhv.la Cour has de vised a very inirenions use of the tnning-fork tor transmitting signals on telesranh lines, which promises to be come of great importance. It is based ou the well-Kuown tact mat u a riven fork 1 made to interrupt an electric circuit by its vibrations and the inter mittent current tnus produced ue passed tUrouirh a series of electro-magnets, each in connection with a fork of ditlereut rate, only that fork will be thrown into vibration which is in uni son with the first one. Practically the time required to do this is the small fraction of a second. The- advantages of tiiis method are numerous. Not on ly may manv receiving instruments at one station be operated, each by its own key, through a single wire, but many different stations in the same circiiit may be operated, that one alone receiving the message wliicu has the reouisile instrument. Moreover, many siirnals may in this war be transmit ted over the same wireatthe same time, and many dispatches sent simultane ously to as many stations. All this may be done, too. without affecting the line for its ordinary nse. and indepen dent of atmospheric tcrresti jffl cur rent V" Prereutinn Enrol of Heal. Exper- iments have been made at Miilliaust-n to ascertain what kind of coating best prevents the escape of heat f rom steam pipes. After many trials it was found that chopped straw waa the best, and that it reduced the loss of the heat by radiation from the bare pipes sixty-six per cent The next best was a pot tery pipe large enougn to cover tne steam-pipe and leave an air-space ; the pottery pipe was coated on the outside with loamy eartn and cuoppeu straw, kent in place bv straw bands twisted round the pipe. This reduced the loss sixty-one per cent. The next was a cotton-waste, which wrapped round the steam-pipe to an inch thick, re duced the loss fifty-one per ceut. The next was waste felt from priming ma chines, under which the reduction was forty-eight per cent. ; and the last was forty-live per cent, with a plaster made of cows' hair and clay. Experiments made with a view to test the effect of color showed that the coatings when painted white reduced the loss a further seven per cent. 1'articulars of these experiments are published in the re ports of LaSociete Industricllede Mnl uonse. Chamber Journal. Anitaratine. This is anew substance said to give excellent results when era- ployed ior preventing incrustation in boilers, besides beinz useful where gelatin and gelatin-like substances are required. It was discovered by Mr. H. Gerard. It is a colorless and transpar ent material obtained by treating starch fecuia, farina, and .any other amyla ceous substances with a caustic alkali. Hithei to it has been found to be best made with potato starch, treated with a ley of caustic potash or soda, the following bcinK the most suitable pro portions, and best method of preparing the anparatine : 15 parts potato starch are put into T6 parts water, and kept in a state oi susiM'nsion ot stirring, when 8 parts potash or soda ley at 20 deg. Baume are to be added, and the whole thoroughly mixed. In a few seconds the mixture suddenly clears, and forms a thick jelly, which is then beaten up vigorously, and the longer the operation is continued the better the quality of the apparatine. It is in this state a colorless, transparent sub stance, slightly alkaline to the taste, but devoid of smell, and of a stringy, glue-like consistence. A Living Barometer. An observer, who has passed a considerable time in the Southern states, says that the homed frog has the peculiarity of be ing an accurate weather-iudtcator a livinj? barometer. At least 24 hours before the approach of a northerly storm the little creature seeks a safe hidiner-place, an I becomes as torpid as it is in the middle of the wiuter. When the storm has cleared away it resumes its usnal activity, and goes about catching such unfortunate insects as may have temporarily lost the nse of their wings by wetting. Tlorar as a Prerentireof Putrefaction. Some experiment on the action of bo rax in arresting putrefaction have been carried out by M. Schnetzler.

Mnsnc. Xew Ci rk fobIIat Fever. A Kead- Ine physician has just tried a novel treatment lor hay feveranimal mag netism and to his own surprise, as well as that of his patient, afforded relief in a few minutes. The case has not been entirely cured, though the severity of the disease has been greatly mitigated. The first symptoms appeared about three weeks ago in the patient, who is a man about 35 years old, and when bis nostrils and respiratory organs were so seriously affected that he nearly suffocated, the laying on of hands by the physician caused entire freedom in breathing, and every indication of the disease to disap pear in ten or fifteen minutes. An Eagle reporter asked the doctor how he could reconcile this mode of treatment with the theory that hay fever was caused by the inhalation of spores, and he replied that the only explanation he could give was that the magnetic influence strengthened the affected organs and enabled them to throw off and resist the disease caused by the presence of the pollen. That the peculiar and mysteri ous agent animal magnetism he calls it relieves the patient afflicted with hay fever, the doctor is certain, but he is not so sure of his explanation as to how it does it. In the treatment he ap plies bis hand to the back of the neck of the patient, to his chest, forehead etc., and makes the usual downward passes in front of the person. The patient is still under treatment and whether the ultimate result will be a perfect cure or not, is of course yet to be ascertained. It may turn out to be a great discovery. To Remove Foreign Bodies from the Eve. A medical correspondent of the Lancet, makes a suggestion which may prove useful on emergency to some of our readers. He says : "In consequence of the difficulty I experienced in re moving from a patient a portion of steel bedded in the cornea, which did not yield to the spud or needle, some other means of removal became nicessary. Dry, soft, white silk waste suggested itself to me, and was wound round a thin piece of wood, so as to completely envelop its end. This soft application was brushed once backward and forward horizontally over the part of the corner where the foreign substance seemed fixed. To mv atonishment it was at once entangled by thedelicate but strong meshes of the silk, and was withdrawn with the greatest ease, caught by the same. A gentleman, in turning steel at a lathe, sudJenly felt that a portion had entered his eye. He wut at once to a surgeon, wlio, wita the most fkilllul manipulation, failed to extract the same, saying it would soon work out of itself. The next morning the patient saw me, having suffered severely since the ac cident, and on the nrst application tne portion of steel was extracted." The Best Dwn-fectaxts. There are three powerful disinfectants; carbolic acid, but its smell is objectionable, chlorine and permanganate of potash ; these last two are quite expensive. These disinfectants act by combining with de leterious substances and rendering them harmless, while antiseptics prevent and arrest the decomposition of animal sub stances. 1 he most common and availa ble disinfectant and deodorizer is cop peras, crude copperas, sold bv druggists at a few cents a pound, under the name of sulphate of iron; one pound to two gallons f water, to lie used as Often as necessary to render all odors impercepti ble, acting at the same time as an anti septic, deodorizer and disinfectant; and if instantly.-thrown over what passes from the body iu. cholera, is one of the cheapest and best means known for pre venting its communication to others. The only perfect disinfectant, however, is habitual cleanliness and thorough ventilation; next to that is a dry heat of two hundred aud fifty degrees. A Xkw Lamp. A new English lamp for lighting and heating is constructed n sucn a manner that the oil reservoir and cone plate can lie slid into and out of position, the cone plate being formed to tit the body of the lamp, aud in this way shutting off air communication between the upper aud lower sides, ex cept through the cone. The top of the lamp stove is formed oi two Plates, in the lower one of which is fixed a short metal tube, while in the upper one is formed a hole to serve as a seat for a kettle or other article, and at one side is fixed a chimnev. .Space is left between the two top plates to allow the heat and products or oomonstion to circulate around the kettle, and openings are formed in the sides of the lamp to admit air frcelv to the under side of the cone plate, and to enable the wick to be regulated without disturbing any part of the lamp. This seems to lie a decided improvement npon the plan of construc tion usually characterizing devices of this sort. - now to Cook a Beefsteak. He took the thin, long-handled frying pan from its nail, and putting it on the stove heated it quite hot. In this he put the piece of steak previously poundud, but to their surprise he did not put a parti cle of butter in the frying-pan, aud did not salt the steaK. lie allowed the steak to merely glaze over and then turned it quickly to the other side, turning it several times in this manner until It was done. Four minutes were not em ployed in the operation, but a juicier steak was never eaten. It was, when done, laid on the platter, previously warmed, and was buttered and salted and set a moment in a hot oven. Allow ing the steak to heat bnt a moment on each side, helped it to retain all its sweet juices, and putting the salt on at the last moment alter it was on the platter, drew out its juiees. The Cecil Bxeap. This process of flouring and bread-making has been officially approved by the French min ister of war, and is to be adopted in the army. The loss of nutritive matter by the common system of grinding is cal culated at twenty per ceut. The loss by the Cecu process is claimed to be only five per cent. I tie grain is first steeped in water and then placed in revolving disintegrators that quickly remove the husks. It is then formed into a thin sponge and kept for sis or eight hours at 77 degrees Fahr. It may be then crushed under rollers and made up into oread in Uie usual way. Yards lv a TorxD.

At Lord Melville's trial Hook was seated next to a country looking lady. As the peers began to enter she touched his arm, and said : "I beg your pardon, sir, hut pray, who are those gentlemen in red, now coming in?" "Those, madam," returned Theodore, "are the Barons of England; in these cases the junior peers always come first." "And pray, sir," continued the lady, "what gentlemen are these," pointing to the bishops in the dress which they wear on state occasions, the rochet and lawn sleeves over their doctors robes. "Gentlemen! madam, "said Hook, 'those are not gentlemen,those are ladies elderly ladies, the dowager peeresses in their own right." All went on smoothly till the speaker of the House of Commons attracted her attention by the rich embroidery of his robes. "Pray, sir," she said, "and who Is that tine looking person opposite?" "That, madam," was the answer, "is Cardinal Wolsey." "Xow, sir," "said the lady, drawing herself np with a look of angry disdain, 'we know a little better than that; Cardinal Wolsey has been dead a good year!" ' "Xo such thing, my dear madam, I assure you," replied Hook with a gravity that niust have been almost preter natural ; "it has been, I know, reported in the country, but without the least foundation ; in fact, those rascally news papers will say anything." The good woman apjieared thunder struck and gasped like a dying carp. Seizing a daughter with each hand she hurried without another word from the spot. J Irish Brus. The Irish, rightly or wronslv. eet credit for all the bulls that f o the rounds of the papers. It was an rishman who wanted to find a place where there was no death, that he might go and end his days there. It was an Irish editor that exclaimed, when speak- injr of the wrones of Ireland : "Her cup of misery has for ages been overflowing and is not vet full:" It was an irisii newspapet that said of Rolesplerre that "he left no children behind him except a brother, who was killed at the same time." It was an Irish coroner, who, when he was asked how he accounted for an extraordinary mortality in Lime rick, replied sadly, "1 can t tell ; mere are people dying this year that never died before." It was an Irish handbill that announced, with boundless liberal ity, in reference to a great political de monstration in the Dublin rotunda, that "ladies, without distinction of sex, would be welcome." A Kefx Retort. An old bachelor pickinz up a book, exclaimed, npon see ing a woodcut representing a man kneel ing at the feet ot a woman "Before i would ever kneel to a woman I would encircle my neck with a ropeand stretch it." And then turning to a young woman, he inquired "Do you not think it would be the best thing I could do?" "It would undoubtedly be the best thing for the woman,', was the sarcastic reply. . Ix a certain French comedy a young man about to be married is found under somewhat suspicious circumstances pur chasing a piano.

IXIPORTANT Instalment Plan I More tbaa three yean ago I invented and secured letters patent for an a simple arrangement by which steam was applied to the washing of clothing. I have heretofore sold this under the name of Steam-Washer OR WOMAN'S FRIEND, for such it is in fact. . I have advertised it in nearly every Religions Newspaper in the United States and Canada, also in the leading secular papers, using double-column and double-page adver tisements. The readers of this circular may remember seeing my Card in the Tarious papers of the country during the past year. Extracts from letters received from my customers will indi cate how it has been received by the people throughout the country. 300,000 have been sold already. , It is sufficient for my purpose to say that I am satis fied that nothing heretofore advertised ever rendered so general satisfaction. Yet this, my first invention, was not quite perfect. And for the last two years I have applied myself , to , the study of constructing and perfecting a New Steam-Washer, And, as the result of my efforts, I feel every assurance that I have been en tirely successful.. Biy New Steam Washer is absolutely faultless ; so much so that I never knew a single person, who has seen it work, fail to be delighted with it. It has rendered, thus far, Perfect anil Mersal Satisfaction,' and such must be the result, for it works like a WONDER never failing to do all claimed for it. In conclusion, let me say, that should any one say that he has seen a Steak Washer, ask him if he has seen the new STEAM WASHER now being advertised so extensively in wbole-page advertisements. If he an- i ewers in the negative, request him to suspend judgment until a sample can be procured and fully tested. I will send one as A Sample for $5.00. just half the retail price and I fully warrant it. After a person buys a sample, he can get them of me at cost. $80.00 Profit can be Made on a Single Dozen, . and I have known Agents to take orders tor':" s: : ! i'-: . A D02E1T-IH AH HOUR. There is no way to make money faster. Send for a sample, and secure your territory. Make money while jon can.

It will ao me wssumj r " j j -j minutes to an hour. The STEAM WASHER is superior to all other deuces for the following reasons: 1. It does its own work, thereby saving a large portion of the time u-naily taken in a family. : 2. It uses much less soap than is required by any other metho.1. 9 T. .niM attention whatever whi'.e the process of cleansing is going on. A lady can do her washing while she is eating dishes. 4. Clothing wears double the time, washed in this waler, than it will washed by a machine or by band-labor, or a washboard. K Mrtuni and all fine fabrics are washed in a superior manner. For flannels this Washer is most desirable, as it will not full them a' a machine or hand-rubbin does. AU fabrics, from the fine t lace lo a bed-blanket, can be w.hl perfect y and wish ease. without the rubbing Doaro. It is trnly a Iabr anil Read the following Circular and Testimonia Is : . . . -. m I respertf ally ask yoo to read this circular carefully, and canUidl j eoni.ler w'ixt I propose to jon is a matter of bra-mesa. Before maklnc known to you my terms, permit me to tate that tbe matter of oaattina: clothes n one at no small consideration: it Is something which concerns erery family and every tah Tidoal. I at not azexx-r since HAND WASHING waa in common tue. Latterly, however, the invent!' entas of the errantry has been directed to the Invention and contraction of th vrion devices or ma chlnery by which much of tbe labor, drudgery, loan of time, and wear of msU'risl micht be obviated. Ponderous as well as intricate Washdco M.Ttnrj have been er nut rn tet many of which are decided improvements over tne old method of washing and these machines have been very salable withU. People will continue to hSTe Wanting Machines; but. let me ask yon. if the STEAM WASHF.Rcsnbeconistrurted for a few dollars (much less than any ordinary Washing Machine), and enable all to wash by tia at. with out labor, loss of time, without wearing of clothes, etov, is it not rensonslile to suppose that it will snper sede.all Washtog Machines now in nee Tbesaleof this Washes is unpanUeied. an l must be ax Tbere ni nothing like tt in nee. It is new. and sverr family needs it. and will hare it. I wi.h to secure a lew good men to sell rights for ma, and in order to secure as many as I need m jediatki-t. 1 offer extra induce ments. My pries f territory is S9.su for lo inhabitants ; but if you will bny a single county, and agree to aril rights for me, 1 will allow you to deduct per cent, as yonr commission ; continently yonr county would cost yon bnt t'i instead of SJJs should it contain but 2Sjn inhabitants : m-ar or less, in toe ame proportion. And to thoee buying rights, 1 will wall Washers st cost. Auy tinner can mate the Wash are a well ss they can be made here, and save the coat of transportation. Remember, that by purchasing the right of s single county, yon shall have tbe privilege of selling sny comity or State fir me; and upon application I will forward the deed to you by Express for any territory wluth yo have sold for me : pro Tided thst tbe same territory is not already disposed of when I nwive your order. I mite all the dels so that there can be no eouf usioo or mistakes. ' The s-nouat yon have to pay me Is simply $3 per t.mat in habitants, tn any county or State. I shall make these viax usciit. offers f.w a short time only : after which I shall sett si my regular price-as per Hot. Many of my patrons have requested nse to suggest to them the best methyl of selling the WOM A TS FRIEND, in order to make the most maaey in tba shortest time practicable. In reply, I would say that then are many method, wturh might be suggested. ail of which seem to work well, bat the most prominent of which I will suggest. In the nrst place send for a sample and carefully test it. Y mi will learn by a single trial how to wash with it most successf nlly. All you have to do now is to exhibit it to others. I wUl suggest that you make an arrangement to wash at a certain place, at an appointed hoar ; manage tn have aa many pi iae.nl aa posslhk. Yon will be astonished at the intense excitement it will produce after the water and steam have rushed through the tubes and foamed over the clothing, mshing back through tbe clothing tntbe lower bottom, to be suddenly returned again In the same manner ssy for thirty ciin-uteav-Toti ta on the cxjothwo, bixsx axd wbixo oct, axo ro thk cLoxaio rrarKc-TLT clias. Vou win and all perfectly delighted with it. You eaa take orders from nine in 'en present, to he fi'led afterward at o each. A single trial in thia manner will satisfy yon that tbe WOMAN'S FBIF.Nu is a success, and wUl sell. Stili. asotheb wat which ar sura so eoctved nine times ia tro : after yoa have secured a sample snd know just what it will do, yoo eaa approach almost any one who has sny inclination at all to engage in any bnsineae of this kind, sn I readily stipulate with him to take a Washer or even bay a county if tt will perf rm all claimed for tt. You will succeed uinaty-nine times in a hundred to mak tbe Washer perform to bla satisfaction. Yoa should jn thst case lose no time in ordering a deed fr your county, to be sent by express, C. O. D.. if not conve nient to advance the money. - Too should, meantime, continue to take orders, snd by the time yonrd ed would come to band, you might have a gross sold. You should likewise ai range with a tinner to make the Washer. The price will vary according to style and finish. I have known some agents to sell as high aa twenty Waaoers in a day. After you base introduced at more or less in yonr County, yon can take snother County ; and rest assured that whenever yon can get a single Washer in the neighborhood, it will sel many more. Consequently, after yon nave sold a few hu drrd in a County, yon can sell the right of your County for mnch bv .ra than st the start. You can calculate what yonr gains will be by buying a single County, but this is not a tenth part of wbst you ottght to nuke, for while you are traveling yon will meet with manymen who want to make money, to whom you can sen rights. Ther? is n business yon csn en gage in which offers such splendid inducements. Besides it is a safe bn..ine-no loss, and uleasaut be cause it renders perfect satisfaction. I cannot see how I can prop.se better ter ns Should I allow my patrons to make their owa terms, I scarcely believe they eon'.d make better terms for themselves, and m ke more money. On the receipt of FIT: DOLLARS, I will ship you a complete Washer, as a sample, a copy of tbe Chromo, Patent Ha CM for making soap, together with a Certificate of Agency, w.th full Instructions bow to conduct toe business. And upon the receipt of the Washer yon may have time to test it, and if you and it not as represented, I will refnnd yonr money. Tbe Washers retail at tie After I send you a sample 1 will hold your Conaty a reasons bla time for yon to decide whether yon wih to purchase or n-4 And if von conclude to take a county. I will let yon have tt on tbe installment plan, by whtci you are enabled to make the money to pay for the riifht, on of the bnainees. Thus yon see you start In a paying business withont capital or risk. I will fumisb blank deeds, also b anks for taking order, and do all I can to en able you to succeed in tbe business.
