POTDRETTE. 



The suhsciihers reside in the state of New Jersey, many 

 of us in the vicinity of the works erected hy Anthony Dey, 

 of the cily of New Vork, on the Hackensacfc river, in New 

 Jersey, for the manufactory of Urate and PouHrette, called 

 " The'Ltii Mvmfactarlng Company " We have used the 

 pmidrelle on the Spriuc; Crops this year, i840. We find it 

 a va'-uabie m.aniirc, superior to any other kind that we have 

 ever Msed, and considering the ^facitiiij of its transportation 

 to the^fleld, the small quantity required in the application to 

 the crops, the quickness of its operation on i^egelable matter, 

 and the ease it^ilh which it can be applied,~a\\ lend to recom 

 mend its use to the farmer and gardener as the cheapest and 

 best manure, and we recommend it acconlin^Iy. 



Those of us who have applied it to corn and potatoes think 

 that it ripens those vegetables quicker than any other ma- 

 oure hv several weeks.

GREEN'S PATEKT STRAW CI TTEK. 



JOSEPH BRECK &, CO. al iheNew England Agricul 

 tural Warehouse and Seed St. ire Nos. 51 and r'2 North Mar- 

 ket Street, have for sale. Green's Palent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk Culler, operating on a niechatiiccl principle not ttefore 

 applied to aiy implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of this aiiplicalion, and some of the consequent 

 pcculiariiies of the machine are ; 



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

 to use it, that ihe strength of a half grown boy is sufficienl 

 to work it efficiently. 



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

 els a minme, which is full twice as fast as has 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 cutler. 



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 lu get nut of order.

 Improved Vegetable Cutter. This machine surpasses all

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

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

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