Wood, Taber & Morse, Eaton, N. Y.— Portable Engines.

Messrs. Wood, Taber & Morse, of Eaton, Madison county, N. Y., are the oldest manufacturers of portable steam engines in the country, and, for the past twenty-five years, have stood where they stand to-day—at the head of this great industry. They have made the construction of their engines a study from a scientific as well as a practical point of view, and, as a consequence, have produced the most complete and effective engines ever put on the market for portable purposes. Their agricultural engines are especially adapted to the work for which they are designed, and have found steadily-increasing favor in the eyes of the agriculturists throughout the country. The necessity for the use of steam upon farms of any magnitude is daily becoming more manifest, and its use for different purposes grows more general with each succeeding season. Here, as everywhere else, steam is a great economizer, and its savings can be felt directly and counted up to the penny. The experience, reputation and known responsibility of Messrs. Wood, Taber & Morse guarantee to all purchasers of their engines full value for price given, which is covering the entire bill. They have every facility for producing the finest engines, and they do it. Every engine is carefully tested in parts, and then as a whole, and the guarantee of the firm is never put to inferior work. Their work is all of the one grade, and that the best. For the present season, they have added new and desirable features to their engines, and have placed them more than ever in the advance of their competitors. These engines are at work in every section. of the country, and are giving, in all instances, the highest satisfaction. Descriptive price-lists may be obtained by addressing as above.

There is a lad in Machiasport, Me., who ought to have a future. He is not more than 5 years old, and yet has already succeeded in having a father, a mother, a grandfather, two grandmothers, two great-grandfathers, three great-grandmothers, and one great-great-grandmother—all alive.
