has been produced by close planting aud rank manures. The tops do not .stand up as they used to, but lop about and form a tangle over the hill. This excludes the air and generates disease. We must get stifter tops. This can be done by planting seed potatoes wide apart, on a breezy hill, and using ashes, lime, and salt as fertilizers. "These, in a sandy loam, will put more silex into the stem.

Great Prize, the Cross of the Legion of and Gold Medal, awarded to American Sewing Machines at the Paris Exposition of 1867, over EIGHTY-TWO COMPETITORS, as per Imperial Decree, published in the Moniteur Universel (Official Journal of the French Empire), Tuesday, 2d July, 1867.

The Lock-Stitch invented by Mr. Howe, and made on this Machine, is the most popular and durable, is alike on both sides, and will neither RIP NOR RAVEL,and all Sewing Machines are subject to the principle invented by him.

A Machine was needed possessing SIMPLICITY and DURABILITY, and adapted to a great range of work one easily understood and comprehended by all. To produce such a Machine has been the study of EliasHowe Jr., who gave to the world the First Sewing Machine, more than twenty years ago ana now we offer his last production, a machine embracing all essential qualities, and pronounced the Best Machine in the World.

Persons from a distance can order a Machine with pcrtect confidence of being able to operate it in a few hours successfully, by the aid of the printed instructions that accompany each Machine. Drafts or current funds must accompany the order. Machines may be ordered by Express, also to collect on delivery, if the purchaser prefers. We advise shipping by express, as the most convenient and expeditious way.

The demand for this New and Improved Machine Is unprecedented in the history of Sewing Machines.

In all the principal towns where Agencies arc not already established, we desire energetic and res'ponsiblc parties as Agents. Many TJlaces are of sufficient importance to warrant persons in making it their exclu sive business.
