remedy for weeds where tli3 soil is foul,
lie says.
“ Where land especially heavy land,
is full of couch grass and seeds or weeds
burning i.- a certain cure. The inorgan
ic portions of lire seeds are not destroy*
j and by fire, but they are thus rendered
: v. iialde fur growth of useful crops. It
seems to me to have been a marvel
ous mistake to fallow the land for two
years, and cart away 200 loads per acre
of couch grass, as was done on tho Hall
I ,rm of Lord Amherst's near Seven
oaks (see Royal Agricultural Society’s
Journal, vol. viii, page J3, first scries.)
haring the summer month the soil and
its contents might have been charred
: t smaM cp t, and an enormous saving
effected. The charred remains of the
weeds and their seed.-would have manur
ed the land for a succession of useful
cror-s. Tho earth burning effectually
destroys a'l seeds.''

THE NEW FAMILY
SINGER
Sewing Machine.
WITH ATTACHMENTS
For All Kinds of Work.
is fast winning favor in the household, a s
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
This New Family Machine is capa
ble of a range and variety of work such a
was otico thought- impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely adjusted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. It is remarkable, not
only for the range atul variety of its sew
ing. but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture whicn it will sew with
equal facility and perfection, using silk
twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or Coarse,
making the inter-clastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity ot stitcli ,
and,i n a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
motuckingi of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been the popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, some dealers, using *• the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers —and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essential principles—simplicity
of construction : ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity for rtu ge and variety of work, fine
or rowset -leaving all rivals behind it.
Sewin? Mack’ae Sales 0f 1874.
Tit 3 .table of sewing machiri? * or
1871 show that our sales for llnTt year
amounted to 211,697 machines, being fl
largo increase over the sales of the pievi
ous year. The table shows thill oui sales
exceed those of any other company for the
period named, by the number of 148,852
machines, nearly
Three Times Those of ai l V Other Com-
pany.
It may be further stated that the
TB7-3, as compared with the sale- of 1872,
£-how a relatively large increas< beyond
the vales of other makers. For instance,
in 1872 are sold 45,000 more machines than
hny other company ; whereas, in 1873, the
bales wcre
- Aral in 1974 our sales were
148 852 Machines More Than
Any Otli- r Company.
OFFICIAL liEPORT.
The following is a correct report of tho
tales of sew ing machines made by the lead
ing companies during the past four years.
A careful examination of tho figures will
show that the “SINGER” have largely in
creased each year, while, on the contrary, a
corresponding decrease is shown in the sales
reported by all other companies. This is a
highly satisfactory result to us, and is only
another proof that “merit always lias its re
ward.”
