THE SILENT SEWING MACHINE!
AS A FAMILY ASSISTANT,
The Willcox k tiibbs Soring- Ua«*fiiiie!
Will lie found to excel nil others. Tin? ease with which it runs, its ready adaptation to all
kinds of work without delay or hesitation, its quiet fidelity, its
Superior Strength and Durability of Work,
are points that n>toni>h and delight all who make its acquaintance. Ladies who are unfa
miliar with this Machine, do not vet know the full blcsaim; and comfort of a Sewing Ma
chine in the family, though they may possess many others and think they Are satisfied.
In proof of this assertion is the significant fact,
7hat its strongest advocates and most enthusiastic admirers are always found among
those who have used and arc most familiar with other leading machines.
From the thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country, we select the following
from the city of Augusta:
AUGUSTA, March, 1870.
Having used the Willcox & Gibbs Sewing Machine in our respective families upon
all the various kinds of work required, snne of us from one to six years, others lor
a shorter time, some of us also being familiar with the use of other leading machines,
we cheerfully recommend it as a m ;st excellent family machine. It runs easily and
quietly, is simple and easy in its management, does not get out of order, is always
ready, its work is strong and durable, and in ail respects gives most entire satisfaction

HOW tiOOII FARMERS SAVE MONET.
They take good papers and read them.
They do not leave their impliments scat
| tered over the farm, exposed to snow, rain
and heat.
They repair tlw ir tools and buildings at
a proper time : and do not suffer a subse
! quent threefold expenditure of time and
! money. They use their money judiciously,
i ami they do not attend auction sales to
| purchase all kinds of trumpery because it
I is cheap.
They sec that their fences are well re
paired, and that their cattle are not graz
ing in the meadows, or grain fields, or
orchards.
They do not refuse to make correct ex
periments in a small way of many new
things.
They plant their fruit trees well, care
for them, and of course make good crops.
They practice economy by giving their
stock good shelter during the winter; also
good food, taking all that is unsound, half
rotten or mouldy out. .
1 They do not keep tribes of eats, or
I snarling dogs around the premises who
! eat more in a month than they are wortli
1 in a whole life time.
Lastly, they read the advertisements,
know what is going on, and frequently
save money by it.
Suecesslul farming is made by attention
to little tilings. The farmer who does his
best, earns hi- money with best apprecia
tion, and tt-es it with best results. Such
men are the salt of the earth.
’ The !>< -t -oil for most flowers, and es
pecially for voting ]>lants and lor seed beds,
i< a mellow loam, containing so much sand
that it will not "bake" after hard showers.
If we have not such a soil, we must, of
course, use the best we have. A stiff clay
soil can lie much improved by a little sand,
or ashe and manure, and by pretty con
stant working. It must not, however, be
handled too wet. Always drain the flower
garden so that no water w ill lie on or near
the surface. Don't try to grow good flow
ers in a poor soil. Always have a little
pile ni manure in some outer corner. It
is a- convenient as money in the purse.
Those v. ho keep a cow or horse will of
course, have manure enough; but those
who have no such opportunity can get a
: load of sods from some meadow or the side
! of the road; lay them in a pile to rot, and
give them a soaking with soapsuds on
washing-days. When the leaves fall, get
| all you can handily and throw them on
1 the pile, and no one will lie able to boast
1 of better flower food; in fact, this is the
j very poetry of manure.
