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.''

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.” Sewing Machine Sales for 1874. Machines sold.
