vinccd of its ruinous tendency, had strength of mind 

 sufficient to form an effectual resolution of future absti- 

 nence. At that time he had a wooden box made, with 

 a hole in the lid, and labelled < ; RUM," into which he 

 every day dropped as much money as he had been in 

 the habit of spending for liquor. The box was never 

 opened till very recently, when, on counting the sum, 

 in it was found no less amount than one hundred and 

 eighty dollars, with a part of which he purchased a good 

 house lot, and the remainder will go towards putting a 

 neat and comfortable new house upon it. Such exam- 

 plea are above all praise. — Salem Gazette. 



Baron Hagal. the Austrian botanist, who lately visited 

 the Ncilgherry Hills, in India, declares that the unknown 

 varieties of trees and shrubs, existing there alone, exceed 

 10,000. The wild rose runs up to the top of the highesl 

 trees, and grows to the thickness of four or five inches. — 

 A delicious specimen of orange but not exceeding a fil- 

 bert in size, is also found there. In the orange valley 

 below Kotagherry, about 4500 feet above the level of the 

 sea, numerous fruit trees are found, amongst which are 

 the wild fig and lemon tree, the latter bearing fruit little 

 inferior in size and flavor to that of Spain.

VALUABLE NEW WORK ON AGRICULTURE. 



This day Published, by Geo. C. Barrett, at the Office of 

 the IN. E. Farmer,— The 

 COMPLETE FARMER and RURAL ECONOMIST, 

 By Thos. G. Fessenden, Esq. 

 Containing a compendious epitome of the most important 

 branches of Agriculture and Rural Economy, and the following 

 subjects arranged in order : 

 Soils, Wheal, Beans, Mangel Wurlzel, 



Grasses, Ry e > Swine, Ruia Baga, 



Grain, Oats, Lime &. Gypsum, Potatoes, 



Neat Cattle, Barley, Fences, " Haymaking, 



Barns, Millet, Hedges, Ploughing, 



Dairy, Hops, Sheep, Poultry, 



Hemp, Peas, Horses, Wood: 



Flax, 

 and to which is added— Descriptions of the most approved Im- 

 plements and Machines, with Engravings. 



The work is printed on the best of paper, and is intended for 

 a Farmer's Directory, which every farmer should be possessed 

 of j and relying upon an extensive sale will be afforded at the 

 Jow price of $1. m 21 



[From the New England Magazine of June \st, 1834.] 

 All men love a farm and a garden, and Mr. Fessenden is 

 better qualified than any other man in New-England to com- 

 pose a good work on these practical subjects — albeit he was in 

 his youth addicted to the less profitable pursuits of wit and 



ftoe'.ry. This work should be on the shelf of every farmer's 

 ibrary : there is much in it to guide him and nothing to lead 

 him astray. All is practical, nothing is speculative. It em- 

 braces the entire transactions of a {arm. The materials for the 

 work vuist have been collected through many years. Excel- 

 lence is comparative — and any traveller in England may there 

 best notice the defects of American husbandry. Still, however, 

 it is with caution that in our soil and climate we should adopt 

 the English modes of cultivation. 



The soils are first treated of, then grasses, grain, cattle, ani- 

 mals, dairy, manures, harvesting, poultry, implements, &-c. &c. 



Those who would have a choice of implements may choose 

 among many at the New-England Agricultural Warehouse. 

 Here is every facility for saving labor and increasing crops ; 

 and the implements that are not useful — if any such there be— 

 are studies of ingenuity. All are made in the best manner, and 

 they are in some sort an illustration of Mr. Fessendeu's book, 

 many being neatly delineated in it. 



THE simplicity of the construction of this Machine, and the 

 small probability of its getting out of repair, together with the 

 neat and rapid manner that it performs its work, certainly ren- 

 ders it a desirable article for the purposes for which it is in- 

 tended. Ilis constructed on an entire new principle from any 

 heretofore invented, and will cut an hundred weight of hay in 

 ten minutes, two inches long, can also cut any length from three 

 inches to one-fourth of an inch ; it is fed by placing the fodder 

 in a hopper that stands perpendicular, the knife playing hori- 

 zontally underneath, by which means all the complicated 

 machinery for feeding and the power neccssary'to drive it is 

 avoided. 



The Subscriber having become the proprietor of the right of 

 making, &c. said machine, in and tor the State of Massachu- 

 setts, solicits the public to call and examine for themselves. 

 Said Machine is for sale at the store of Prouty & Mf.abs, 

 No. 12 Commercial street, Boston. DAVID P. KING, 



Who is also Agent for the States of Vermont, New Hamp- 

 shire, Maine, and Rhode Island. eowGw a 2.
