We do not sell Bohemian Oats or greased lightning rode, or humbug those who deal with us, nor do we rep recent that a fortune can be secured in a day, week or year bv using articles we sell. We do represent : " He that hy the plow would thrive, Himself must either hold or drive." We propose to keep up with the progresss of improvement : therefore, we have secured the Roland Chilled Plow , which we guarantee to be the best plow now offered to the farming community, and is sold at a low price. We cell Spike and Spring Teeth Harrow?. After preparing the ground you want seed. It is a conceded fact that the bet need io nlwy ili- clieapeet. The most of buyers consider the price, and pay little regard to the quality. We are the only dealers in Centre county who make choice farm and garden seeds a specialty. We sell 04 pounds of Cloverseed and 45 pounds of Timothy seed for a bushel, and are governed by the fol lowing rules in buying and selling : Choice —To be bright in color, dry, sound, plump, well cleaned, and free from foreign seed. Prime —To be dry, sound, reasonably clean and only slightiy mixed with weed or foreign seed. Good —To be merchantable clover or timothy seed, but too badly mixed with dirt, brown weed or foreign seed or not good enough for prime seed. Rejected —To include all seed damp or damaged, very dirty, or so badlv mixed with weed or foreign seed as to render it unmerchanta ble. Foorseed always shows to the best ; advantage during cloudy days. Choose your seed when you can examine it | by sunshine. We have a well selected stock of both farm and garden seeds, which we invite farmers to examine before buying. We have adopted the Auburn Farm Wagon, which is supplied with steel skeins or steel axles, which we will warrant to be one of the best wagons made. We invite fanners to call in and ex amine our stock. Store opp. the Bush House. IHcCalniont & Co. WM. SUORTLJDGE, ) BusitUSS roht. mYalmont, j Managers. L V.
