Appreciating the demand as well as the worth, and the necessity of the introduction of good new prolific varieties of wheat in this county we sent Griffith Ellis, of our firm, on an inspection tonr to the Eastern Counties of this state. He returned last week and we are gratified to state that he procured a fair supply of the finest quality of seed wheat that ever came to the county. We have two varieties--the mt The Eclipse is a new variety, hardy and prolific and an excellent wheat for flour--is of bearded variety and was introduced by the man who produced Fukaster in 1886. Schindel says: '-The Fulcaster baa been an excellent wheat but it never had the hardiness of the Eclipse," The Rudy is also a bearded wheat and has been grown in the Cumberland Valley for several years and is considered one of the very best producers.

We bought one lot of 800 bushels that was grown on neld, which equals a yield of 40 bushels per acre. Farmers it will pay you largely to sow these new varieties. We have investigated their merits and know whereof we speak. A young man is full of life and vigor while an old mau is rapidly approaching the end. So it is with new and old varieties of wheat, the new with its great vitality can stand the extremes of the season and the ravages of insects and pests, while the old succumbs to them and makes a failure.

The late secretary of agriculture of the United States, Hon. said that the product of one quart of a new variety of wheat introduced into Preble county, in 1845 had in nine years Ixawjfikd the farmers more than $100,000.00 by the gain over what they would have had if they had continued to sow the old varieties. Both tLee varieties are free from B.ye Cockle as they have been cleaned in the field, which is the right, place to i lean wheat Price of each variety $1 25 per bushel, spot cash, as the margin is email. We have a fair supply of this wheat but we do not guarantee to supply all the demand, to sure of the wheat send us your order and we will reserve it for you. The wheat will arrive September 1 or sooner, but samples can be at our office now.

We can furnish good new 2 bushel Grain Bags at 15 cents each if desired. DAVID ELLIS SONS, PENN EOLLER FLOUR MILLS, INDIANA, PENNA.
