Zinc Milk Pans. 



For sale at the Agricultural Warehouse — Westfield's 

 patent Zinc Milli Pans. A particular account of this 

 great improvement in dairying will be found in the New 

 England Farmer for July G, 1831, page 405, and many 

 other journals. Milk in these pans will keep sweet 

 longer than in those of other materials, and thus conse- 

 quently alliird a longer time for the cream to rise, and 

 produce one si.^ilh more butter, as has been proved, 

 of the sweetest quality. The pans ate very durable, and 

 Dot likely to rust.

Black Curratit JVine. 



Just received at J. B. Russell's Seed Store, Nos. 51 §• 

 52 North Market Street, Boston— 



A further supply of superior old Black Currant Wine, 

 made under the inspection of John Prince, Esq. Roxbu 

 ry ; an account of its astringent and delergent proper^ 

 ties in various complaints, will be found in the N. E 

 Farmer, vol. 5, page 267, written by S, W. Pomeroy, 

 Esq. and the late Doct. J. G. Coffin. It is highly salu 

 tary in many summer complaints. Doct. Coffin states 

 ' Its use has been attended with remarkable success in 

 the early stages of cholera morbus and dysentery— and 

 again also in the later stages of these diseases, after the 

 symptoms of inflummalion or febrile excitement had 

 ceased. It has been strikingly remedial in the lowstates 

 of typhoid and bilious fever. The late Capt. Gilchrist, 

 who for several years lollowed the Eatavia trade, and 

 who had always sutfered an attack of the severe cholera 

 which proves so destructive of human life in that climate, 

 used to say that after he had this wine with him, and 

 took two glasses of it every morning, he escaped the 

 disease. On one voyage, his mate, who had not taken 

 the wine, was seized with this complaint, when a bottle 

 or two slopped its progress. We have not room to enu- 

 merate many other morbid affections in which this wine 

 has proved useful. In sore throat it has for u.any years 

 been considered almost a specific remedy. — Price 75 cts. 

 per bottle. Aug. 3. 



Dale's Hybrid Turnip Seed. 



For sale at J. B. Russell's Seed Store, Nos. 51 & 52 

 North Market Street—

 p»r. Aug. 3. 



30 Dollars Retuard. 



The above reward will be paid by the Subscriber for 

 the defection and conviction of the vile wretch or 

 wretches who have been base enough to break down a 

 large number of young rock maple Trees, set out on the 

 road adjoining his Farm, leading from Dedhain turn- 

 pike to Brushhill turnpike, for the purpose of shade and 

 ornament. As the vile wretch who could be guilty of 

 such a crime is dangerous to the community, it is hoped 

 that the citizens of Roxbury and Dorchester will be vigi- 

 lant in endeavoring to detect him, in order that he may 

 be brought to public justice. JEREMIAH HILL.
