attachment, for sowing all kinds of grass seed, and plaster, lime, 

 ashes, and other kinds of fertilizers, the price is $70. They are 

 made in a very neat and substantial manner, in two parts ; and 

 the manner of hanging them, and of attaching the staves to the 

 heads, has been secured to them by letters patent. The heads 

 are made of cast-iron, with a flange at the circumference of each 

 head, which fits a gain in the ends of each stave, so that no bolts 

 or nails are used in fastening the staves to the heads. There are 

 cast-iron gudgeons bolted to the ends of the frame, which work 

 in the hub of the cast-iron heads. An iron cross-bar passes 

 between the two parts of the roller, and is bolted to the frame 

 behind and before, and in the middle of the cross-bar are two 

 gudgeons, which play in the centre of the middle heads. Those 

 who desire a superior roller, will do well to confer with the manu 

 facturers already alluded to. It weighs about eight hundred 

 pounds, and can be loaded with stone to make it heavier if de 

 sired.
