Don’t buy any school furniture until you seo tho new and elegant performed desk fir which Mr. W. S'. Beery is agent. When the company began the manufacture of this desk they recognized the fact- that they must meet tho combined and bitter op>po?ilion of all manufacturers of ordinary furniture, as thi3 sealing sounds the death knell of all slat desks. : Their star must at on<-e begin to wane and must soon set alongside that of the slab benches of the fathers. Scho.il boards have some pride nnd want the handsome.it nnd best. Those who purchase the new desk can afford to and will laugh at the adherents to the old style, homely, and uncomfortahlo sV.U furniture, and those who buy slat desks will soon be ashamed of themselves. 34-6 t. _ All farmers are troubled on first putting their horses to the plow in the spring, with having tho necks of their horses more or less galled. Hors-’s not worked much through the winter always have tender shoulder*. Sometimes a badly tiding foliar adds to the difficulty. Chloride of zinc diluted with fifty part* of water, applied with a soft sponge, is a good astringent, serving to harden and toughen the ,akin. Keeping the collar well cleaned, oiled and pliabl", will add materially towards preventing and curing galled shoulders. A little rest will grea'iy facilitate the euro of badly galled shoulders dto tbe plow trams. —South Bend Herahi.
