a living slmll be secured to me with reasonable labor, 

 and this New England in Jier various depiirttnenis of

 midst of what oiliers deem eviU, i see innuraernlile ccjm-

 rection i turn niy eyes, there is every wltero such an 

 exuberant e of Lilessings to those who uill perfurni tlieir 

 duty, that it would be the height of ingratitiite to complain, 

 and the height of folly to abandon a certain good (ijr

 been so long sheltered and nourished by her never fail-

GREEN'S PATENT STRA'W Cl'TTER. 



JOSEPH BRECK & CO. al IheNew England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store Nos. 51 and 52 North Mar- 

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

 Stalk Cutler, operating on a mechanical principle not I.efore 

 applied to a»y implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent etfeclsof ihis application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are; 



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

 to use It. that tlie strength of a half grown boy is sutfeeient 

 to work It efliciently. 



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

 els a minuie, which is full twice as fast as has been claimed 

 liy 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 stronsly. It is therefore not so liable as the 

 complicated machines in general use to get out of order. 



BACHELDERS' PATENT PLANTING 

 MACHINE 



This Machine, recently invented by L. &S. H. Batchei,- 

 DER, of Hampstead N. H. is one of the most convenient and 

 labor saving implements ever introduced to the notice of the 

 farmer It is simple in its construction, and certain and reg- 

 ul; r m its operation. It is calculated to plant all kinds of 

 seed usually planted in hills or diills. 



This Machine is constructed on principles altogether dif- 

 ferent from all others of s:milar purpose. It performs the 

 operation of planting without opening a furrow, thereby dis- 

 pensing with covers, that are contiinially liable to clog, and 

 gel out of order. It simply raises the soil a little, and at 

 the same lime drops the seed at any distance desired, when 

 the soil falls back to its origiual place, and is immediately 

 followed by a moveable guiige, that leaves the soil lo any 

 depth over the seed which the operator chooses ; it also re- 

 moves all small stones and sods from the ground where the 

 seed is deposited. 



This Machine has been in operation during the past seas- 

 on and thoroughly tested by practical Farmers and Mechan- 

 ics in Slassacbuselts and New Hampshire, and is pro- 

 nounced by them a complete and useful Machine, and is al- 

 lowed by all who have seen it, to be superior to every other 

 implement of the kind now in use in the Uniled Slates. It 

 operates equally well on wet or dry ground, and is warranted 

 to work well on any ground ihat can be furrowed with the 

 common plough. 



O" Orders will be received by L. & S. H. Bacheldee, 

 Hampsttad, N. H.. or by ihe subscriber at Ilarerhill, 

 Mass., their General Agent for the United Slates, for the 

 Planter, or a right to manufacture and dispose of them. 

 Any communication addressed to cither will receive atten- 

 "on. T.J.GOODRICH. 



Deerfield, N. Y May 27, 1840. 

 TO THE PUBLIC- We whose names are hereunto an- 

 nexed, rerliry that we have examined Bacneldcr;.' Patent 

 P:anlins' Machine, and seen it operate on several of our 

 farms in Deerfield, Oneida County; the seed planted there- 

 by seems well planted, wherever the ground is in proper or- 

 der, and is now coming up ; and we'believe the Machine 

 fully answers the description given of it in tlie handbills de- 

 scriliing anil recommending it, and heartily concur in said 

 recommendnlion, believing as we do that it' will prove a val- 

 uable lai.or saving Machine, and on good laud will soon 

 supersede the labor of planting by hand in the old and com- 

 mon methofl.
