To ttie Patrons of the Farmers' Cabinet, 

 and the friends of Agriculture gene> 

 rally* 



The subscriber, from the earliest period of 

 his connexion with the Farmers' Cabinet, has 

 been convinced that the interest of the agri- 

 cultural community required an establishment 

 in this city, for the exhibition and sale of tools, 

 implements, and machinery used in the vari- 

 ous departments of agriculture and horticul 

 ture, especially those of new and improved pat 

 terns. He therefore takes great pleasure in 

 /informing the public that he has formed a 

 business connexion with the Messrs. Prouty, 

 gentlemen who have been for some years 

 successfully engaged in the manufacture and 

 sale of improved implements in a neighbor- 

 ing city, and that they have opened an Agri- 

 cultural Ware-House, at No, 87 North Sec- 

 ond street, a few doors above Arch street, 

 Philadelphia. Their assortment of Tools and 

 Seeds, now on hand, will be increased, and 

 no effort will be wanting to render the estab- 

 lishment deserving a share of public patron- 

 age. John Libby. 



is unrivalled in New England, where it has 

 worked itself into notice and general faTor. 

 Farmers are particularly requested to call 

 and examine it. 

 Biickmtnster's Corn and 8ecd Planter* 

 This machine has been fully proved, and 

 found to answer completely for the planting 

 of corn, tnrneps, sugar beets, &c. &c. Last 

 summer, 18,000 hills were planted in less 

 than one hour. On land well prepared, one 

 man with a horse will furrow out, cover, and 

 press down the corn on an acre of ground in 

 one hour, or ten acres a day. The seed is 

 dropped uniformly, and regularly covered. 

 The machine is simple, not likely to get out 

 of repair, well built, cheap, and is warranted 

 to work well. For further description, see 

 Farmers' Cabinet for March, 1839, page 252. 



Root, or Vegetable Cutter* 



This machine is simple in its construction, 

 effectual in its operation, and of great import- 

 ance to the farmer, especially as roots are be- 

 ing more generally used as food for cattle 

 than heretofore. 



Improved Cultivators or Horse Hoes* 



Shakers' Garden Seeds* 



On hand, a general supply of Garden Seeds, 

 put up by the Shakers, in papers and boxes, 

 warranted genuine. A box contains a gene- 

 eral assortment of all kinds of Garden Seeds, 

 with printed catalogues and prices to each 

 box. ' 



French Sugar Beet Seed*

 Tl'ighly recommended for stock, yielding forty
