To Him that Enjoys
GOOD READING
Greeting and Congenial Salutations
from Ibe Detroit Free Press. •
From the unlimited words of praiie that have
been bestow ed upon it, the conclusion fixed that the
Detroit Free Press is the most popular journal in
existence. Not that it has the greatest circulation—
though for that inciter few papers have a more ex
tended one—but that the most profound affection
for it exists among those who read and know its
merits.
Certain is itthit no journal contains so many at
tractive and original features.
-Enjoyable in the highest degree, its tone is the
purest, its literary standard the most exceUent. .
It combines to a surprising exteut in its well-flU-
ed pages the grace, learning, wit, humor, versatility
and genius of the American people.
Unique amongnewsjjapers, sprightly and reada
ble in every portion—it is edited with so much
tact, intelligence and ease, that readers of every
class find it, abo ye aU others, the one that satis
fies!
Varied are its departments and its contents—the
whole a most judicious combination. If one may
liken intellectual to material things its field of sto
ry, poetry, coriesi;Oiidtnce, anecdote, wit, humor
sentiment, hiBtory, belies letters, knowledge in its
iilhnited extent—may be compared to a well order
ed banquet, And around this superb feast in all
its completeness bounteously laid with contribu
tions from cveiy clime, sits the blessed spirit of
fraternity and good fellowship! '
And then “The Household” the bright, sympa
thetic and kindly “Household!” No description
should be offered of “The Household;" it is a feat
ure original and unsurpassed, ancl none c u fail to
appreciate it.
The "Weekly Free Press and ‘‘11
•Household” together are furnished at

All prominent tanners who tuna to any extent are rapidly learning the valns 1
of this very superior instrument. It is not ouly the increased amonnt of wort
done that makes this implement so valuable, but the superior cultivation that
improves the corn or cotton at ail stages of its growth*-
Ihe ordinary dounle-shovel or plow cannot be run to throw an even amount
of dirt to or from the row, whilst the wheels of t! is Cultivator keep the beams
perfectly steady, and can be so iuanagt A as 10 cultivate without injury to even
the smallest corn. Iu rows where the stand of com or cotton is not regular, flm
slightest motion of the handles will regulate the amount of dirt, to be thrown, tbe
cultivation beinglietter done than even by tbe old fashioned way of being ho**d
by hand. __ '
. ’ Ihe fenders which are on a.l our Cultivators prevent clods of dirt from injur
ing the plants. One row is completely cultivated at one passage.
Ten acres is the nsDal day’s work. The. labor of one man is saved.
The beams can be adjusted for any width desired, aud can be hung np when
turning at end of furrow.
With the addition of the Fifth-tooth and frame shown on page this Cultiva
tor becomes a splendid-implement for putting in wheat, outs, or anv small grain.
