 we ourselves instead of being importers of silk, might be- 

 come exporters to a most profitable extent. This in- 

 deed would be adiling to the ical wealth of the country.

dXCongresi are now in session ; and the Tresident's 

 Message h:ts bci.-ti d«livered. We are not at liberty to 

 give this document in the New England Farmer ; but 

 it will lie aeci ssible to our readers through various other 

 mediums. Of one thing, bowever, we may be certain, 

 whatever interested men may say to the contrary, there 

 never was a country iiiorfj [irosjierous than our own ; 

 tliere never was a time or condition of society when in- 

 dustry w:ia lietl(o' rewarded, justice more faithfuily ad- 

 ministered, the public pence more secure, or a greater 

 abundance of the fiuits of the earth, rnoro profusely dis- 

 tributed. Where are the virtuous, except by extraordi- 

 nary inisforluue, who are not well clothed, well fed, and 

 well housed ; and who nre without the means of improv- 

 ing their condition .' There are none to be found. Why 

 then should webe continually complaining (A' tiri^ spots 

 on the ^un, when they cannot be seen wiliiout a telescope 

 of large maguilying power, because of the glowing ra- 

 diance which surroundi them .■' H. C.

JOSEPH BRECK & CO. at the New England Aqrieul 

 tuial Warehouse and Seed Store Nos. il and f.2 North Mnr 

 kel Street, have for sale. Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk (Sutler, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

 ap]ilied to buy implement for this inirpose. The most prom- 

 iiieiit effects of tins applicatinii, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the iiiai:hine are : 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power requisite 

 to use it, that the strength of a ball grown boy is sutficient 

 to work it efTicienlly. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cutstwo bush- 

 els a miiinie, which is full twice as fast as lias been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any other 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and put 

 together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as the 

 complicated machines in general use to get out of order.

For sale at the Now England Agricultural Warehouse, 

 No. 61 and .'52 North Market Street, Hoston, Willis's Latest 

 Improved Vegetable Cutter. This machine surpasses all 

 others lor the purpose of cutting Ruta Baga, Mangel Wurt- 

 zei, and other roots. The great objection toother machines, 

 is their cutting the roots into slices, which makes it almost 

 impossible for the cattle to get bold of them : this machine 

 with a little alteration, cuts them into large or small pieces, 

 of such shape as is most convenient for the cattle to eat. It 

 will cut with ease from one to two bushels of roots per min- 

 ute. JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
