 E. Farmer. Boston, Feb. 1, 1843. 



A person who has a thorough knowledge of Agriculture 

 and Horticulture, having had tweuly years' experience in one

 in Massachusetts, would now engage himself to take charge

 Messrs. HOVE V & Co., Boston, will command immediate 

 attentiou. 3w'*= Jan. 2S., 1843.

CORN SHELLERS. 



A Corn sheller is one of the most convenient and labor 

 saving implements that the practical farmer has in use. 

 Various machines for this purpose have been invented. It 

 can be used in all cases for large or small sized ears. It is 

 very smiple in its construction, and durable iu its operation, 

 and no way liable to get of order; one nian can work it to 

 good advantage, though a man to turn, and a boy to feed it, 

 works it much better than one alone. They are so light and 

 portable, as to be easily removed from place to place, and 

 one machine will serve for several families or even the in- 

 habitants of a small town. 



Willis's Improved Double Operating Corn Shel- 

 ler. — The most perfect and substantial article that has been 

 introduced for the purpose ; this machine can be worked by 

 hand, or any other power, and will shell two ears of corn at 

 the same time ; they are highly approved by all that have 

 used them. 



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

 et street. 



WILLIS'S LATEST lAIPROi^KD VEGETABLE: 

 CUTTKR. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut- 

 ting Ruta Baga. Mangel Wurtzel, and other roots. The 

 great olijection to other machines, is iheir culling the roots 

 into slices, which makes it almost impossible for the cattle 

 lo get hold of them : this machine wilh a little alteration, 

 cuts them into large or small pieces, of such shape as is 

 most convenient for the cattle to eat. It will cut with ease 

 from one to two bushels of roots per minute. For sale by 

 J. BlvECK & CO., Nos. 61 and 52 North Market st.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH, 



Great improvements have been made the ))ast year in the . 

 form and workmanship ol these Ploughs; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lay ike furroio completely oner, 

 turntnsr in every parlicle of grass or stuhhle, and leaving Iht 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has be a 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 lale trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughi 

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

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy lo work, 

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your landis heavy, hard orrocky, 



BEGIN WITH Ma. HOWABD'S." 



At the above mentioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more worki with the same power of learn, than any other 

 plough exhihilcd. No oilier turned more than twentysevea 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. drausht, while Ihe 

 Howard Plough turned twentipiine and one half inches, to 

 the same power of learn •! All acknowledge ih.a'l 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 iandside: this shoe likewise secures 

 the mould board and Iandside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to $15. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 SiO 60, and with cutter Si, with wheel and culter, $^ 60 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by

GRINDSTONES ON FRICTION ROLLERS. 



Grindstones of diflerent sizes, hung on friction rollers and 

 moved 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 satisfaction. The rollers can be attach- 

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

 BRECK &. Co., No. 61 Norlh Market slrect.
