cover broadcast 'grain nearly as well as a drill

WIARD CHILLED PLOWS.
These are the very best chilled plows in the
market for general purposes, and upon all kinds
of ground:
1 ask for fair and thorough test-Vials for
these plows in competition with the other lesol
chilled plows. The Wiard Plows are warrautbd
to be decidedly the beat, and greatly superior to
all other plows for hard and stony . ground. I
believe nearly every farmer will buy these plows
when he becomes acquainted with' their real

The Value of the Roller.
It has always been. a belief of ours
that the true value of the roller as not
beeli_understood, and,*e have received
considerable credit kom our coutetu-
poraries for our efforts at various times
to have this implement bitter under-

past has chiefly had referenCe•to its -119 e

and grass and pressing hack• the plants/
to their normal position, where
have been disturbed by the action of
the frosts; but as we see farming C• 31 1-

tempted to inquire whether even 'still
more use of the roller might not he made
with advantage. We know how
great is the value of a - well pulverized
soil, but we have come to regard mero
stirring with a cultivator in summer ii.s
pulverizing. It is to a certain extent of
course. No matter how roughly done,
it is better than a hard baked snri•intl.
Under this condition the soil dries very
rapidly. Still the lumpy coarse . way is
whkii the cultivator often leaves the
ground is anything, but puivrizition:
We see a tendency in some on trters to
favor hard - raclted earth; • biit the

.1. FM TT:DE=I7IAB PARASITE. —Prof.
Tyndall makes pUblic in London ,the
results of experiments made by . Dr.
Koch, of Tioston, on Tubercular disease.
It was known before that the disease
was communicable, but Koch has ascer
tained the exact nature of the parasite
which causes consumption. He has
propagated it artificially, and killed
animals with parasite .thus prodnced.
Matter expectoratCd from the fugs of
consumptive persons has lieen . found"to
be swarming with parasites, which are .
highly infective.. Tyndall's object la
to protest afresh against legislation
which prohibits in England experi
ments such as enabled . Koeli to Make
these discoveries, but it is hoped that
Koch will develoPe a harmless form
of the tubercular parasite, which by
inflect:dation may prevent consumption;
and thus check a mange which accor
ding to Koch's calculation, carries: off
one-seventh of the human race.—.X. Y.
