skvv % WHAT IS JAPAN TKA DU8*T ^ In firing Japan tea, small particles * Htll break off, Mid, after the tea i* fired (which is done in Japan), these are lifted out and tent here separately, the quality beiag equal to that of the leaf. There is in England A dost of Congou* and those who consume it there use a gauze base to prevent the fine particles fro HI sifting out into a cup. Ths ob­ ject of taking the dust out ef tea is to make the leaf appear better. The duet is the same tea as the whole leaves, and Its quality varies just as that of tea varies. A bogus tea dust has been made In Sew York by taking very poor leaves and grinding them up; its distinguish­ ing mark is its very poor flavor.--12»- mkange.

Notice To Farmers Something New! J . ELLI OT T 'S IMPROVED HARBOW. This Invention has reference to Improve­ ment in Harrows, so that a number toothed sections may be connected, and the teeth may be set at any angle of inclination to the ground. This "Harrow consists of a number of toothed harrow sections that are connected by pivoted side pieces and clamp bolts. It may bedrawn by hitching the horses so eith. er end. When drawn from one end, makes a slanting tooth fer corn. When drawn from the other end makesa perpendicular tooth as the ground requires. This invention rolls up like a log and shuts up like a jack knife, and is nicely stowed under cover, and takes up little room. This Harrow has 10 sections ana each one works independent of the other. Largest size Harrow is 12 feet cut and has 70 teeth. The ten foot Harrow has 60 teeth. The eight foot Harrow has 50 teeth. The teeth are half inch iron or steel, as desired. The teeth will not bend or break. This Har. row is a splendid CORN HARROW, And owing to hard times we sell them at low rates. Farmers will please call at our Shop and examine our Harrow before purchasing. NORQUEST & WEBER. Agents for McHenry County.- MeHeory, III., Jan. 30th, 1877.
