yearling plants for a hedge, to those which have 

 stood two years in the seed bed. You have to 

 cut them back to near the surface of the ground, 

 at any rate, and the young plants are less checked, 

 and throw out an abundance of branches with 

 more rapidity than the two year olds. 



(J. M. Ward.) Plant Bugs. — The bug so inju- 

 rious U) your potatoes and flowers, is probably the 

 common squash bug ; and the means you have 

 adopted to destroy them or prevent their ravages, 

 are the only ones we know, unless that of calling 

 in the aid of poultry. 



The Blackberry. — This is cultivated in the 

 same way as the Raspberry. Give them a good, 

 lights rich, loamy soil. 



The Horticulturist. — Address James Vice, Jr., 

 one of the editors of the Farmer, who has recently 

 purchased it and will publish it after the 1st of 

 January, as you will see by prospectus.

Potatoes— The AVlxlte lUercer. 



500 BARRELS of the White Mercer (seedling) Potatooa 

 are now offered for sale by the subscriber. This remarkable 

 white potato is of almost unparalleled productiveness— of 

 beautiful shape— its proportion much like the long pink-eye, 

 being a little more flattened. 



This potato was obtained by the subscriber from the seed 

 of the common Mercer, nine or ten years since. It received 

 the first premium from the N. Y. State Agricultural Society, 

 and a Diploma was awarded for the same by the Monroe 

 Co. Agricultural Society. Since this period the White 

 Mercer has attained, in Irondequoit, increased popularity 

 with farmers and gardeners — to so great an extent that 

 from 800 to 900 acres were planted in that town, the past 

 season, the product of which lias been astonishingly abun- 

 dant — yielding from 150 to 400 bu. per acre, as I have been 

 creditably informed. The yield of my own crop, planted 

 mostly among fruit trees, gave 200 bu. of fine potatoes per 

 acre. Those who have hitherto had but a scanty supply of 

 the article, on account of the rot, or from any other cause, 

 may, by obtaining a barrel or two of White Mercers grow 

 them in great abundance. 



The White Mercer is very white outside and in, mealy, 

 of good flavor, and longer keeping than any other potato 

 with which I am acquainted. It is a late grower, requiring 

 early planting, and is less subject to rot than any other po- 

 tato known in these parts. 



Price $2 per barrel, shipped to any part of the United 

 States. Orders will be received through the Rochester 

 P. O. till the stock of potatoes are exhausted, after which 

 notice will be given, and all moneys returned promptly if 

 the potatoes are not forwarded.

Important to Farmers. 

 PORTABLE MILL. 



Oakland, near Geneva, N. Y., Aug., 28, 1852. 

 Mr. Chaelbs Ross — Dear Sir : — In reply to your letter of 

 the 25th inst., it is a pleasure to speak in commendation of 

 your I'atent Conical Mill. To me it has proved valuable 

 for grinding food for my stock, as a few hours labor with 

 this Machine prepares food enough for fifteen head of cows 

 several days. The Mill used by me prepares food for hor- 

 ses, sheep, and swine, grinding and mixing corn, oats and 

 other grains, satisfactorily. It has also produced for my 

 use, our Indian meal, buckwheat meal, and occasionally 

 wheat flour, thus saving the time of teams and men, which 

 otherwise must have been occupied, going several miles to 

 a distant mill, at much expense ; it is therefore a source of 

 economy as well as an inducement to better care of all 

 Stock, It affords also one among other resources of conve- 

 nient and useful labor during stormy weather. My belief 

 is that your Mill will work its way int<i general use upon 

 farms where stock is raised, and where grist mills are not 

 within a short distance. In my estimation this mill is 

 among the most important machines offered to the farmer. 

 Respectfully yours, J. Delafield. 



N. B. — Mr. Delafield has had the Conical Mill in use on 

 his farm for nearly fou^ears. 



Any further information respecting this Mill, may be ob- 

 tained bv letter (post-paid) addressed to
