Providence, June 5, 1841. JOHN GILES. 



The Revolving Horse Rake has been in general use is 

 most parts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, and is found to 

 be one of the most useful labor saving machines now in use. 

 One man and horse, with a boy to lead, will rake on an av- 

 erage from 25 to SO acres per day with ease, and do the work 

 well. There is a great advantage in this rake overall others, 

 as the person using it does uot nave to stop the horse to un- 

 load the rake

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH, 



Great iiiijirovemeiits have been made the pasi year in Ihe 

 form anil workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould bt ard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrnw completely oner 

 turning in every particle of grass or stubble, andleaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has been very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both wiih respect lo 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late liial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy lo work, 

 try Prouly & Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard orrocl.y, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



Al the above mentioned trial the Howard Pl'^ugh did 

 more work, with the same payer of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than tweoiyse.'en 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Hoioard Plough turned twcntynine and one half inches, to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Plougtis are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has I'een quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can he renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise sectiies 

 the mould board and landside together, and slrenglhens the 

 Plounh very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from $6 to Sl5. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost abotil 

 S;0 50, and with culler Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 00 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, al 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Stoic,

WILLIS'S LATEST IMPRO VED SEED SOEVER. 



Willis's latest Improved Seed Sower, invented the last sea- 

 son ; one of the most perfect machines ever introduced for 

 the purpose. In using this machine, the farmer mav be cer- 

 tain that his seed is put inlo Ibe ground, and al the same 

 lime in the best possible manner. There has been a great 

 difficulty in machines lor sowing garden seeds; they are 

 very apt to clog up and the farmer might go over an acre of 

 land and not sow a single seed ; but not so with this ; it is so 

 constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In using this sow- 

 er, the farmer can save one half of his seed, and do the work 

 a»hss than one quarter the expense of the common way of 

 sowing seeds, and have it done in a much heller manner ; 

 it opens the furrow, drops the seed, and covers it over and 

 rolls them down. It will sow almost any kind of Garden 

 Seeds; say Ruta Baga, Mangel Wurtzel, Turnios, Carrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions It is highly recommended by 

 a great number of persons who used it the past season.
