the matter? Wo will bo glad to

It has been demonstrated that hay
can be made a most profitable crop
on our lauds. It is jiossible to make
four crops in a year. Hungarian
grass, with favorable seasons, will
mature in thirty-five to forty days
alter planting, ar.d makes an excel

northern grown hay, when our own
lands muv be inude to produce it
abundantly?
Pierce county’s wealth steadily
increases year after year, and the
increase is largely due to the tfevcl
opement of its farming resources*
The total amount of taxable (iroporty,
in 18M, was $M4,000; iu 1880, it is
$1,095,000, an Increase of more than
one hundred per cent in nine years,
or about eleven pet cent a }ear.

POINTS OF SUPERIORITY OF
The Damascus Plow-

iron (dfcft-s, is chi I led and is harder than
tin- !ii|;lu'#t tempered steel. It will, in
sandy soil, lust ten times ns long us

the Damascus has most of its weight
b low ihe top of the mould-board, and
w hether at work or standing still
w ill stand np of its own accord. It
runs for this reason vary steady and
easy for the plowman.
3rd.— The shape of the standard makes it
less liable to cleg than other plows.
4th.—The draft is known as a "centre
draft" and oo the “Damascus” is as
much so as ii that of a pole of a two
horse wagon.
ith.—There is no head of the beam boll or
obstruction of auv sort lor trash to
hang to.
tith.—There is room for trash to run
to the left as well as to the right of the
standard.
7lh.—The beam is adjustable on the shifter
between the handles. $o as to turn it
to or from the land, so the exact centre
of draft may be found.
8th.—Ihe handles are so placed that the
plowman walk* in ihe furrow ihrectW

arrangement of the castings it is tto

10th.—The handles Are fastened directly
to the stand:*r*i. which takes all «tr.*in
off the mould-board and landside, and
brings the plow under perfect contrul
of the plowman.
11th.—The w earing parts of the landside
and share are thoroughly chilled, and
ad of the material and workmanship
are of the be-t.
