BAYLE'S OARDEM 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 ol fire would be a good substitute for a fire en- 

 gine. The most perfect article lor the purpose ever intro- 

 duced. ForsalebyJ. BRECK&CO.,No. 51 and62Norlh

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship o( these Ploughs ; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrow completely oner. 

 Iwninff in every particle of grass or stubble, and leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has be n very much increased, 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, 



" Should our opinion he 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 light and easy to work, 

 try Prouty & Mears, hut if your landis heavy, hard orrocLy, 



BEGIN WITH Mb. HowABD'3." 



At the above mentioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more leork, with the same pewer of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentyse.'en 

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

 Howard Plough turned twentynine and one half inches, to 

 the same power of team .' All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been 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 secnies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from $6 to Sl5. A Ploiiph, 

 sufEcient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SIO 50, and with cutler Si, with wheel and culler, S2 50 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse aud Seed Sture, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North aiarket Street, bv

TYlS UP CHAINS. 



Just received by 500 Chains for tyeing up Cattle. 



These chains, introduced by E. H. Derby, Esq. of Sale™, 

 and Col, Jacques, for the purpose of securing cattle lo the 

 slall, are found Ic be the safest and most convenient mode 

 of fastening cows and oxen lo the stanchion.

GRAIN CRADLES. 



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

 cradling, thai we must suppose that it will be ihe only mode 

 adopted horeafter, and the grain cradle will become of as 

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



There has been a very great improvement in the manu- 

 facturing 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 

 slop 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 different sizes, hung on friction rollers and 

 moveil with a foot treader, is found 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 satisfaclion. The rollers can be attach- 

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

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