THE SOUTHERN FARMER AGENCY 



THE writer, M. W. PHILIPS, being now one of the fixtures, and so long 

 as the agriculturist requires it, and can find no better a servant, would 

 inform subscribers, and others, who desire anything in the agricultural 

 line from a dog chain to a steam engine that he will, to the Lest of his 

 ability to purchase for them, and will always strive to obtain information 

 touching the various machines from those who are experts. The per 

 cent, is not the main question, and old friends will bear us out that we 

 have ever been actuated by a desire to be of use. 



MACHINERY FOR SOUTHERN FARM LIFE. 



Having moved to the Southwest in 1830, and settled in a new Country, 

 where mills and mechanics were not ; although immediately from school, 

 we were forced to use a talont given to us. Thus forced, our mind was 

 drawn out on mechanism, and we tried all labor-saving machinery we 

 could procure. Thus apprenticed and serving our full time as such, we 

 think we are somewhat prepared to select Gin Stands, Presses, Running 

 Gear, Mills, etc., etc. ; and, from our particular bias to test thus, we have 

 bought, used and laid aside three different Presses, several Gin Stands, 

 Mills and Running Gear. We will give our best attention and discretion 

 to a selection. Our only brother, Col. Z. A. P., is fully posted up on Steam 

 Engines, and we will avail ourself of his knowledge. We have had many, 

 the most of what is justly termed improved stock, and, although our 

 prejudices may have swerved us, yet we are honest in our convictions 

 and will try to select the best.
