R. H. ALLEN & CO.'S BUSINESS NOTICE. 



WE wish to call the attention of Breeders of Fine Cattle, 

 and all kinds of Improved Live Stock, to our last publication on 

 Agricultural Implements, Farm Machinery, and Small Tools for 

 the Farm and Garden. It constitutes the Fifteenth Edition of our 

 regular Business Catalogue, which we have issued for many years, 

 but is now so much increased in size, as well as perfected in its 

 descriptions, and in the quality of the engravings, that it ranks far 

 in advance of other similar publications in this country, as well as 

 abroad. Although it does not attempt a scientific description of 

 machines and tools, as was the case with the valuable " Farm Imple- 

 ments," of Mr. J. J. Thomas, of the Country Gentleman, (now 

 unfortunately out of print,) yet it is so full in its details that it is 

 book which every Farmer or Stock Kaiser should possess, as they *wn 

 find it valuable for frequent consultation. The edition referred tow 

 a book of nearly 300 pages, containing about six hundred wood 

 cuts, nearly all of which are new and by first class artists, and is fur- 

 nished at $1 in paper covers, or $1.25 in cloth. 



The first few pages are devoted to a brief description and analysis 

 of the best Fertilizers, and after thirty pages of description of 

 Cast Iron, Wrought Iron, and Steel Plows, Cultivators, Harrows, 

 Hollers, &c., &c., there is given a full list of all Implements and 

 Machines used in the harvesting of the Hav, Grain and Root Crops, 

 with those used for their preparation for market, or for home use. 

 Among the latter, we include Portable Steam Engines, Wind Mills 

 and all kinds of Horse Powers for driving Threshers and Cleaners, 

 Grain and Feed Mills, Corn and Cob Crushers, Smut Machines, 

 Fanning Mills, Corn Shellers, Hay, Straw and Stalk Cutters, &c.,&c.; 

 all of these, however, being made of suitable size to be worked by 

 hand as well as power. 



For the further preparation of food for Ca tie, we have several 

 patterns of Root Cutters and Slicers, of various sizes, up to thoao
