THE NATIONAL TEIBOTE: WASHINGTON, D. 0., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1882. 8 OUR GROWING COUNTRY. Slate of fiio Cereal Crops and (lie Probable Yield. COINIMERCE AND FINANCE. Reports from tlie Leading Maaikets of tlie Gqiuitry. Wita vitnv lo supplying oiir leathers with accurate i.'jforjualiou as to tho genera.! growth awl prosporh;y of the country, :is well as the state of the leading .flaancial, commercial, and cattle Markets, v.'e begin this week, under the head of "Our Growing Country," a new deportment, which, we are disposed to think, will prove of decided practical value to our subscribers. The spaco at our disposal is so limited that, of course, we cannot give quotations of any save tho controlling markets, and. owirig to tho fact that wo so to press on Wednesday, although our issw hears date of Saturday, the prices at the clos of business on Tuesday aro the latest that wo can furnish. But in spito of these drawbacks, we believe- our readers will derive great bancfit from tho information supplied in this Department. Yfe shall bo glad to receive and .consider any suggestions which they may have to ofler co ncerning its conduct. At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Texas and Pacific Railroad held on Tuesday, the following Board of Directors were elected : Jay Gould, W. T. Walters, Rus sell Ssge, James P. Scott, W. C. Hall, T. S. Bond, Charles O. Baird, Fred Jl. Ames, J. C. Brown, H. M. lloxie, R. S. Hayes, T. T. Eckert, A. L. Hopkins. E. H. Perkins, Jr.. E. B. "Wlicclock, D. Tilsenheld and Goorge J. Gould. Tha directors theft elected tlic following offi cers: President, Jay Gould 7 First Vice-President, J?. S. Hayes; Second Vice-President, John C. Brown ; Third Vice-President, II. SI. Hosic, and Secretary and Treasurer, C. E. Sat terlec. At a meeting of the Directors of tho Man hattan Railway Company ou Tuesday, a quar terly dividend of ll per cent- was declared upon the first and second preferred stock. Ac cording to the statement given out by the cempeny, the earnings of the Now York lines for August show a surplus of $561251, and the earnings of the Metropolitan lints show a defi ciency of $17,223. At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad on Tuesday, Jay Gonld, Russell Sage, Sidney Dillon, and Fred L. Ames were elected di rectors in placo of John Bloodgood, John R. Duff, Austin G. Gorham and Horace Porter. It is understood in railroad circlesi in Cairo, HI., that the accession of tho Hannibal and St. Joe to tho Wabash system will result, in a raid on tho ilobile and Ohio, and end in its con solidation with the Cairo and Danvillu division of the Wabash. Jay Gould will then hayc a competing line on tho east bank of the Alissis fiippi, a direct route to the east in conjunction with the Ohio and Mississippi at Viucennes, by way of Indianapolis, and a share of Chicago business, now controlled by the Illinois Central. This coming winter will develop a vigorous light between these two roads. The people of this section of tho Mississippi Valley have heretofore regarded the Illinois Central as one of the most gigantic monopolies in tho West. There will be a sharp light for the winter traf fic, as there is general fraternization of the officers of the Cairo aud St. Louis Narrow Gauge and Hlinois Central. The Northern Pacific Railroad from Glen dive to Billings, now undergoing construction so rapidly, employs 8,000 men on tho western division, and 7,000 on tho northern. The track is laid at the rate of one and a half miles a day. At tho end of this season the job will be only 300 miles. The road is ex pected to bo finished next year. At the annual mooting of the Pullman Pal ace Car Company in Chicago on the 7th inst., 5)1,353 shares were voted out of 325,000 shares. Tho increase in the revenue over the previous year was $712,000, and an extra dividend of li per cent, was declared out of tho profits of the company "for the past year. Crop reports of Ohio for September give the following estimates : Wheat, acres threshed, 421,417; bushels produced, 7,066,55-1 ; average, 16.5: total acres of wheat, 2,7-15,507; total bushels, 45,145,549.

Rye, per cent, of full crop, 83; barley, 77; potatoes, 105; sweet potatoes, S9-, tobacco, 65; sorghum, 74; apples, 31; peaches, 32. Kansas crop reports based upon Information from twenty-seven points in the State show favorable results. Tho corn crop is at leat two-thirds made and the aggregate yield will not be less than 155,000,000 bushels. It Is calculated that thirty-five bushels to tho acre will cover the injury done in somo of the western counties, aud the State total is es timated at 155,000,000 busheles. Tho av erago condition is computed at 101. Favora ble news is reported of broom corn aud sor ghum, and no wide-spread damage has been done.

It is the btst and only perfect self-operating Washer in the world. It will do all the family washing in less than half the time in which it can be done in any other way without labor, with but little soap, without chemicals aud without wear and tear or yellowing of clothes. More than fifty thousand of these "Washers are now in use, giving perfect satisfaction. V"e have thousands of testimonials from all parts of the country from Public Institutions, Ilotels, Clergymen, Lawyers, Fanners, Edit ors, and every class of people, and the Editorial Com mendations of all the principal papers in the land. Iu 1878 The Bissell iianufacturing Company .purchased the patent, and after two years' experimenting succeeded in simplifying tho Washer, and in adapting it to use iu any size and style of boiler, as also in the old-fashioned iron wash-pot so much used in the South. THE riUXCIPLE OF TIEE WASHER. The operation of the Washer consists in rapidly and continuously forcing the hot soap-suds contained in tho "boiler from the bottom to the surface, through a tube and then drawing it down atraiii through tho soiled cloth imr, while that is expanded by the boiling heat causing it to remove every particleof dirt and leaving the articles nfter rinsing thoroughly cleansed and bleached. It is impoible for it tQ tear or wear, or in any way injure tha fabric, as there is no friction whatever. HOW DOES THE. "WASHER WOIIK? The Washer having been placed in the bottom of tha holler or pot, as soon as the water commences to boil, all wliich is beneath the washer, being surrounded with heated metal, becomes hotter than that in the remainder of the boiler, and thus has a tendency to rise through tho tube, while at the same time all the steam formed beneath the Washer is forced to pass out through the tube, and carries along with It the water in the asluer ana tuba with great power, its place being supplied by the water outside, which is rapiulv drawn into tlie Washer and in turn heated and expelled, thus creating a constant and powerful current upward through the tube and downward through the fabric, giving a -water force which cannot be obtained in any other way. The fabric being, expanded to its utmost by the boiling water, the dirt, softened by the action of the soap, is swept away by tha force of the How. Thus we have: 1st The greatest possible heat. 2d. Perfect chemical action of tlie soap; and 3d. Force of water. All of which are necessary to thoroughly cleanse and purifv any fabric. "W nat is it that cleanses the clothing in the ordi nary modes of washing by rubbing, poundinc, squeezing, drawing between rollers, etc.? It is the tilling of thu fabric with soap-suds and then forcinit it out again, and repeating the process until the clothes are clean. Rut these processes require hand labor. You mut turn or pound, or squeeze or rub ; while with the KOBB INS' WASHER the labor is dispensed -with, and any other work of tho house may be done while the washinj is doing itself. THE CAPACITY OF THE WASHER. There are two sizes, the No. 1 or family size, which works in any family holler or wash-pot having a bottom ) Si by S inches or largor, and holding 10 to 12 gallons of water. It will wash bed or table linen, a boiler fnll In 10 or 13 minutes, wearing apparel in from 20 to 30 minutes, without rubbing, and requires no previous preparation of the clothes, such w soaking over night. Take the clothes drv, and when the washer gets thokougma at work, fill the boiler, gently pressing them down with a stick. Use onlv good soan and sort water. If the water is hard it mav be softened by a small piece of borax, which is harmless. For Lace Curtain this Washer is invaluable. It cleanses them as no other process can, and without the slishtest dancer of injury. , No. 2, or small hotel size, will do the work in a boiler holding 15 to 25 gallons,and wash, of average pieces, from 1,500 to 2,000 per day. We alo make a Washer ."uS inches, suitable for use in sunken bottom boilers, of the same capacity as our o. 1, and at same price. THEY AKE ITCADE OF SOLID BRASS, (except the tube,) and can neither rust, corrode, break, or wear out. QUESTIONS XXD ANSWERS. Q. What kind ofboiler do you use? A. Any kind of boiler or pot will do. Q. How can you have a flow of water at the rate often gallons per minute in a boiler holding only ten gallons; A. The same water is used over and over again ; and to be thus used. It mut pass down through and through the . fabric ; and this with the soap anil heat does the work. Q. Can vou wash tlnnuels and colored clothes? A. We wash ttir fhinit that can be washed. Flannels and colored clothes need but little soap, and from live to ten minutes of the full operation of the "Washer, ilannels houhl he rined m hot water. It Is the change from boiling to emu water that contracts the fibre, causing them to shrink. Fugitive pnuts will part with their colors by any process, but fast colors will not be injured. ..- 6 C'lii vou ue common soft soap? A. i es, if good. Is it not better to put very dirty clothes to soak overnight? A. Xo. Q Will vour washer remove the streaks from dirty tvnctTinnfta'nml collars? A. The Washer will cleinsa the dirtiest clothing. Give the clothes a thorough rinsing. Q How can it le possible for so simple a thing to cl?ui5 fabrics? A. How is it possible for it not to cleanse fabrics? Remember that the entire contents cf the boiler are forced thrcnuh the exMuled clothing every minute, or at least twenty times at every wash ing and vou will see what the result mut be. Q. AVlll your Washer do everything you claim for it? A. Yes; it will. We guarantee this. ' SAMPLE WASHER.
