The Revolving Horse Rake has been in general use in 

 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 30 acres per day with ease, and do the work 

 well. There is a great advantage in this rake over,all olhers, 

 as the person using it does not nave to stop the hirse to un- 

 load the rake

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould hi ard 

 has been so formed as to lay tke furroie completely oocr 

 turning in every particle of grass or stubble, and leaving 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 With respect to 

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

 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 to 

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

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard or rocky, 

 DEGiN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



At the above mer.f.oned trial the Howard Pl"ugh did 

 more toork, with the same power of team, than any other 

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

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

 Howard Plough turned twcntynine and one'half inches, to 

 Ihe same power of team .' All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of ibis Plough, which can he renewed withoul 

 having to furnish a new laadside: this shoe likewise seciues 

 the mould hoard and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much.. 



The price of the Ploughs is from $6 to8l5. A. Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 810 50, and with culler Si, with wheel and cutter, $2 50 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Sceil St.irc,

Providence, June 6, 1841. JOHN GILES 



NEW YORK POIIDRETTE COMPANY. 



This company has been in operation nearly four years. 



Present price of shares one hundred and five dollars; and 

 each share is entitled to filly bu>hels of Poudreile ereiy six 

 months, which is equal to fifty cny cart loads of stable ma- 

 nure for 18 ytars from -March, 1841. 



Price of Poudreile 40 cents per bushel, or two dollars a 

 barrel, of four bushels, delivered on board of vessels in this 

 city. Those farmers who wish to obtain this manure reg- 

 ularly, will do well to lake shares soon ; and those who 

 wi:,li to pure base the arlicle will do well not to wait another 

 year, until they wish to use it. 



Owing lo the unusually wcl season, orders received now 

 cannot be filled under four or five Weeks, bin it is believed 

 that there will b' a supply in July, August and September. 



To ensure a supply for early spring use, shares should be 

 taken in tinie to receive a fall Dividend, which will prevent 

 disappointment or by a wel spring like the pres«nt ; or 



Those at a distance, who desire I'o make an- experiment, 

 can obtain one or more barrels, in (urn, by remitting, at the 

 rate of two dollars per barrel. A phamplet will be sent to 

 any person who de.sires one. 



Shares will be sold for the preseni at $105 each, but they 

 will surely advance in price, notwilhsfanding the number of. 

 dividends will diminish every six months.

WILLIS'S LATEST IMFKO VED SEED SO^XER. 



Willis'slatest 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 Ihat his seed is put into the ground, and at the tame 

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

 difficulty in machines for sowing garden seeds; they are 

 very apt to clog up anil 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 

 at If ss than one quarter the expense of the common way of 

 sowing seeds, and have it done in a much better manner - 

 It opens Ihe 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 Wurlzel, Turnips, Carrots 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions. Il is highly recommended by 

 a great number of persons who used it the past season
