BUSHES. 



In many parts of our country, the pasture 

 grounds are infested, and often overrun with nox- 

 ious shrubs ; this is the most slovenly part of our 

 husbandry, and ought to be cured. 



Eradicating them, says Deane, requires so much | 

 labor, that farmers are most coinmonly content 

 with cutting them once in a few years. But the 

 more cuttings they survive, the longer lived they 

 are apt to be ; and tlie harder to kill, as the roots 

 continually gain strength. 



It is undoubtedly true, that cutting bushes in 

 the summer will do more towards destroying 

 them, than doing it in any other season, particu- 

 larly in August. Other circumstances being equal, 

 the wettest weather is best for destroying shrubs 

 by cutting. Spreading plaster on ground where 

 bushes have been cut, may tend to check their re- 

 sprouting, by encouraging the growth of grass. 



It is said to be a good method of destroying 

 bushes, to cut them with hoes close to the sur- 

 face, when the ground is frozen hard ; and that 

 more may be destroyed in a day, in this way, than 

 in the usual method of cutting with a bush scythe. 



Bushes which grow in clusters, as alder, &c, 

 may be expeditiously pulled up by oxen ; and this 

 is an effectual way to subdue them. 



Elder is considered harder to subdue than al- 

 most any other kind of bush; inowing them 5 

 times in a season, it is said, will not kill thctn. 

 The roots of the shrub oak will not be killed, but 

 by digging them out. 



To destroy bushes in swamps ; flooding 2 or .3 

 snmtners is the most approved method. But if 

 this is not convenient, draining will so alter the 

 nature of the soil, that the shrubs, which it nat- 

 urally proikiced before, will not be any longer 

 nourished by it; and one cutting may be sufficient. 



After all, extirpation, by digging them out, and 

 by fire, is cheapest and most effectual. — Farmcr^s

Paint Oil. 



THE subscribers continue to sell their Prepared Paint 

 Oil, lor outside painting, and respectfully refer tithe 

 buildings below enumerated, where samples of the paint- 

 ing may be seen. 



House and out-buildings of John Fox, Dorchester; do 

 do. Joshua Gardener, do. ; do. do. Thomas Mosely, do. 

 do. Edward Pierce, do. ; do. Samuel Downer, do. ; do. 

 do. Daniel Chandler, Lexington; buildings of Charles 

 Davis, Roxbury ; do. B. B, Leeds, Milton Village. 



All the buildings painted witl] this oil have dried well, 

 with a firm, tough coat, and a good gloss, and with a 

 saving of 25 per cent in cost. 



The Prepared Oil is found to answer a valuable pur- 

 pose to mix with Linseed Oil, giving it strength and du- 

 rability, and causing it to bear out a better and more per- 

 niancnt gloss. It will not crack in the shade, or, wiiere 

 exposed to the sun, dry up and leave the lead so as to be 

 easily washed or wiped off; it dries tenacious and elastic, 

 forming a firm skin or coat impervious to w.^te'', and will 

 resist a long time the heat of the sun. 



They have made large sales to the country and eastern 

 trade, and have not had an instance of complaint. 



N. B. — This oil, being light, does not color the lead 

 in mixing, hence a very clear white can be painted.

Horse Quicksilver. 



QUICKSILVER will stand this season at the stable of 

 the subscriber, in Brighton, a few rods south of the meet- 

 ing-house, and will cover only twenty mares the present 

 season, at $15 each, and .$1 in addition, to the groom. 

 Mares warranted to he in foal, if $20 is paid, and" $1 to 

 the gloom; and in discharge of warranty, the $20 will 

 be returned. 



Quicksilver is a beautiful bright bay, three years old ; 

 his sire. Sir Isaac Coffin's horse. Barefoot, conspicuous io 

 the racing calendar of England ; his dam, Rebecca, from 

 the imported Cleveland bay horse Sir Isaac, and Sky 

 Lark, a native mare, well known fur her fine form, speed, 

 and bottom, once owned by Mr Leavittof Salem, to whom 

 persons are referred for her character, and will be to many 

 others in Massachusetts and Maine. Quicksilver is 

 thought by good judges to combine with great symmetry 

 and delicacy of form, bone, muscle, and all the requisite.s 

 for a first rate covering horse. Mares sent to him, and 

 if left with the subscriber, will be well attended to on rea- 

 sonable terms, but he will not be responsible for acci- 

 dents. BENJAMIN W. HOBART.
