SAYLE'S GAROKN ENGINE:. 



This is a splendid article. It will throw a constant stream 

 of water to the distance of 50 or 60 feet, with great force, 

 and in case of fire would be a good substitute for a fire en- 

 gine. The most perfect article (or the purpose ever intro- 

 duced. For sale by J. BRECK & CO., No. 51 and 52 North 

 Market street. 



HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lati the furrow completely oner 

 turning- in every particle of grass or sluhb/e, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has bf n very much increase.1, 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 Woreester, say, 



" Shoulil our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly lightand easy to work, 

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your landis heavy, hard orrocl.y, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howahd's.'' 



At the above mer.tioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more work, with the same pmner of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentysn.'eji 

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

 Hoxoard Plough turned tivcntynine and one half inches , to 

 the same poxeer of team : All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has Ireen quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secuies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 toSl5. A Ploiigh, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 *10 50, and with cutter *1, with wheel and cutter, 82 50 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed St.ire, 

 Nos. 51 & 53 North Market Street, by

TYK VP CHAINS. 



Just received by 500 Chains for tyeing up Cattle. 



These chains, introduced by E. H. Derby, Esq. of Salem, 

 and Col. Jacques, for the purpose of securing cattle to the 

 stall, are found tc be the safest and most convenient mode 

 of fastening cows and oxen to the stanchion.

UUAIN CRADI.RS. 



The difTfrence in gathering a crop is so much in favor of 

 cradling, that we must suppose that it will be the only mode 

 ado)iied hereafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

 much use as an implemenl of husbandry, as the plow now is. 



There has been a very great improvement in the inanu- 

 fncluring of this article, they are now made on the most 

 improved plan ; the scythe is well secured and finished in a 

 superior manner and made of the best cast steel.

REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 



This is one of the most useful and labor saving machines 

 now in use. One man and a horse with a boy to lead, will 

 rake on an average from 25 to 30 acres per day, with ease 

 and do the work well There is a great advantage in this 

 rake over all others, as Ihe person using it does not have to 

 stop the horse to unload the rake. For sale by J, BRECK 

 &CO., No. 52 North Market st. May 22. 



GRINDSTONES, ON FRICTION ROLLERS 



Grindstones of difTennt sizes, hnngon friction rollers and 

 tnoveil with a foot treacler, is lound to be a great improve- 

 ment on the old mode of hanging grindstones. Stones hung 

 in this manner are becoming daily more in use, and wherever 

 used, give universal satisfaction. The rollers can be attach- 

 ed to stones hung in the common way. For sale by J- 

 BRECK & Co., No. 61 North Market street.
