 gone ovi'r by an active bov in three or four hours. 

 After the fVost is (iiit, let the ground be rulleil. In the 

 early p:iito(the seascm, appearances will be unpromis- 

 ing for a crop ; but about Ihc^ niidille of June it will 

 come forward rapidly, and abr.ut the lOih or 15th i>f 

 July will be fit to cut. LiLud, we supfiose, can be laid 

 down as smooth in this way as any other; tht)ugh we 

 liave not heretofore been very partieuUr in this respect, 

 and our grounds, though evin enough to work upon 

 without inconvenience, are not mjde quilc as level iis 

 when a grain crop is put on. 



The last season we took up gr.nss hmtl in the spring; 

 planted to corn, and in July seeded down t*>grass. 



We do not advice any beginners to tnake extensive 

 eitperinicnts, but we do ihitik it will be (bund good hus- 

 bandry to adopt this process to a considerable extent on 

 many farnis.

JOSI-.MI BRECK &. CO. at the New England Atjricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store IS'cis. SI andr.a Noiih Mar 

 ket Street, have lor sale, Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 sinik ("utter, operating on a mechanical pruiciple not hefore 

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

 inent effecls of this applicalinn, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are : 



1. So great a red'jction of the quantum of power requisite 

 to u.se it. that the slren(;lh of a hall grown hoy is sulficient 

 to work it etliciently. 



2. VViih even this moderate power, it easily cut« two hush 

 els amiiinie, which is full twice as- fast as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked bv 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 stronaly. It is therefore not so liah.e as the 

 complicated machines in general use to get out of order.

For sale at the New Enjland Aericultural Warehouse, 

 No. 51 and 52 North Maike; Street, Boston, Willis's Latest 

 Improved Vegetable Cutter, This machine surpasses all 

 others tor the purpose ol cutting Rula H-.iga, Mangel Wurt- 

 zel, and other roots. The groat objection toother machines, 

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

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

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

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

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

 ute. JO.SEPH BRECK «i CO.

TIE VP CHAINS. 



Just received at the New Enjland j^gricultural Ware 

 house, a good supply of those celebrated Chains for tying 

 upcattle. These chains, introduced by E. H. Derby, Esq. 

 of Salem, and Col. Jacques, of Charlcstown, for the pur 

 pose of securing cattle to the stall, are found to be the safest 

 and most convenient mole of fastening cows and oxen to the 

 stanchion. They consist of a chain which passes round the 

 animal's neck, and by a ring attached to the stall, plays (ree 

 ly up and down, and leaves the animal at liheriy to lie down 

 or rise at pleasure, and keeps him perfectly secure
