A representative of this paper recently made a very careful inspection of the works of Mr. Coquillard, passing through long lines of ware-rooms, immense sheds for storing timber, blocks of bnildiDgs for hlacksmithing, forging and, fitting, and lastly through an immense building Bituated on the river where, with automatic machinery of the most improved and perfect character, every piece of wood work is manufactured by skilled workmen.: The buildings are widely separated to avoid general destruction in case of a fire. In the sheds above referred to for seasoning, many long ricks of hubs and spokes were noticed bearing the date of 1871, showing the extreme carefulness of the firm in seasoning. Perhaps Mr. Coquillard is the largest manufacturer of wagons of any single Individual in the United States. The "Coquillard Farm Wagon," claims durability, strength, beauty and lightness of draught, which have been substantiated by premiums at State and county fairs wherever exhibited. Fine carriages, buggies, spring wagons and sleighs are also made by this firm, equal in elegance and perfection to any others. It has been the ambition of the proprietor to excel in his specialty to reach the very acme of a perfect wagon, and to produce it at the lowest possible price. To insure this, several years since, he purchased 2,000 acres uf the best timber land in Indiana. From this he selects hJB timber with care and at a comparatively light cost. Thus, with ample means, extended experience, strict integrity, uhusal energy and close attention to his special line of business, this sterling gentleman has produced for the farmers of the West a wagon second to none ' in the world, and at a price within the reach of every one. Please look over their advertisement and henceforth buy only the "Coquil- , lard Farm Wagon," of A. Coquillard, South Bend, Indiana. 7-wl H/

Wheat came out from under the snow looking fine, but the freezing and thawing is showing its mark some, but not serious yet. Some hog disease in this county, but not so much as reported in other parts of the State. Kill the dogs and save the sheep ia the motto of the farmers here, and should be every where. Dallas.

Some one said through the Fai- meb, that we should throw away our pollticU paper and take the Fabmeb. Tlieeditols sanctioned the idia.

( Kosciusko County—Feb. 171b. > i The weather has been moat delightful foi the last ten days, and farmers have improved it by making and repairing fences.

A representative of this paper recently made a very careful inspection of the works of Mr. Coquillard, passing through long lines of ware-rooms, immense sheds for storing timber, blocks of bnildiDgs for hlacksmithing, forging and, fitting, and lastly through an immense building Bituated on the river where, with automatic machinery of the most improved and perfect character, every piece of wood work is manufactured by skilled workmen.: The buildings are widely separated to avoid general destruction in case of a fire. In the sheds above referred to for seasoning, many long ricks of hubs and spokes were noticed bearing the date of 1871, showing the extreme carefulness of the firm in seasoning. Perhaps Mr. Coquillard is the largest manufacturer of wagons of any single Individual in the United States. The "Coquillard Farm Wagon," claims durability, strength, beauty and lightness of draught, which have been substantiated by premiums at State and county fairs wherever exhibited. Fine carriages, buggies, spring wagons and sleighs are also made by this firm, equal in elegance and perfection to any others. It has been the ambition of the proprietor to excel in his specialty to reach the very acme of a perfect wagon, and to produce it at the lowest possible price. To insure this, several years since, he purchased 2,000 acres uf the best timber land in Indiana. From this he selects hJB timber with care and at a comparatively light cost. Thus, with ample means, extended experience, strict integrity, uhusal energy and close attention to his special line of business, this sterling gentleman has produced for the farmers of the West a wagon second to none ' in the world, and at a price within the reach of every one. Please look over their advertisement and henceforth buy only the "Coquil- , lard Farm Wagon," of A. Coquillard, South Bend, Indiana. 7-wl H/ |
