Iiands of Long Island, 



ADJOINING the villages of Lakeland and Hermanville, about 

 48 miles from the citias of New York and Brooklyn, by the Long 

 Island Railroad. The opportunity is now offered to all those who 

 ever wish to obtain land on Long Island, the Ancient "Garden of 

 America.'' that will probably never occur again, for these lands 

 are the ouly remaining new lands on the Island, and are equal in 

 quality, when cultivated, to any other land. 



The results of cultivation on these Island lands have been so 

 great, so much beyond the expectations of any one, that they are 

 now considered of great value for farms and gardens, and will, in 

 all probability, be all taken up for settlement and occupation, or 

 be-held at more than five times their present price. All kinds of 

 produce may row be seen growing there, such as wh-at, rye, corn, 

 potatoes, and garden vegetables, with fruits and flowers, in the 

 most luxurious growth, where but a short time since the land was 

 covered with trees and bu.5hes. 



The surface of the ground is perfectly beautiful, free from stone 

 or bogs or marshes, and the climate as healthy as can be found 

 in this latitude. The soil is a fine loam, admirably adapted to 

 high cultivation and great crops, and of easy tillage. 



Indeed, no New England or 5forthern New York man can form 

 any adequate idea of the great difference in the labor and strength 

 requisite to cultivate these Island land.^. and that required to sub- 

 due their own rugged lands, until he has seen or made the trial ; 

 and 1 now offer for sale as handsome land, and intrinsically as 

 valuable, as can be found within fifty miles of the eity of New 

 York, in any direction, in lots of five acres or more, for the sum 

 of $25 per acre. 



Any person wi.shing to purchase a five acre lot of good arid 

 handsome land, without one foot of water or useless grouad on it, 

 can do so by sending $5 as a first payment, and the further sum 

 of $5 a mouth, until one half is paid, when a warrantee deed and 

 good title will be given, and the remainder p.art of the purchase mo- 

 ney may be paid or secured on the land,to be paid within three or 

 five yeai-s. with 6 per cent, yearly interest. Larger lots will be 

 sold on the same terms. 



The title i.s perfectly good— I have a history or deduction of the 

 title com;/lete, certified to by legal men of the highest character, 

 which I will send by mail with maps, pamphlets, and all informa- 

 tion, to all purchaser.^, or those who wish to be informed of these 

 Island land.-?, by applying to E. II PEAS, of Albany, or CHAS.

Important to Farmers and Planters. 



MESSRS. Editors :— Through your columns especial attention 

 is dii'ected to the following : 



At the next Annual State Fair, to be held in Rochester in Sep- 

 tember next, I design to present for competition, a small Steam 

 Portable Gi-ist Mill, (conical Burr Stone.) got up in a much more 

 simple and cheap form than has ever before been exhibited ; and 

 challenge all manufacturers of .Mills, that I will operate a Mill on 

 the Fair Ground with 25 per cent, less power than any other kind 

 of mill that is made, doing the same amount of work in a given 

 time. CHARLES ROSS.

STATE AORIOUL- 



EXTRACT FROM THE TRANSACTIONS OF THE N. 

 TURAL SOCIETY, 1848. 



"Another labor saving Machine, useful to the stock feeder, w.ts 

 offered in a Portable Grist Mill, with Burr Stone, horizontally 

 placed, and capable of grinding seven bushels of feed per hour. 



"As ground food for cattle leads to rapid fattening, thfse, and 

 such like machines, may well claim the farmers attentive consid- 

 eration." B. P. Johnson, Secretary. 



Agricultural Rooms, Albany, Sept. 23d, 1850. 



C. Ross— Dear Sir :— In 1849, the Committee says, that your 

 Portable Grist Mill performs well, and has been so often commend- 

 Qd, that this Committee think they cannot add to its reputation. 



B. P. Johnson, 

 Sec'y N. Y, S. Ag. Society. 



N. B.— This Mill has taken the highest premium at the State 

 Fair tor the last four years, it having been exhibited and worked 

 by horse power, at Saratoga, Buffalo, Syracuse aud Albany.

 Troup's Communication : 



Valdorta, Laurens Co., Oa. 



Mr. Editor :— I have tried the Conical Burr Stone ^Iill. for 

 grinding Corn, and have found ft to answer admirably. No plan- 

 ter that is not in the vicinity of a public Mill, ought to be without 

 one, if he can afford to purchase, and his family is sufficiently 

 large to require the use of it, otherwise I would suggest that sev- 

 eral Farmers of a neighborhood should unite to purchase one in 

 common, which, being established in a central position, would be 

 accessable to all. Very respectfully, G. M. Troup.

THE subscriber wou'd again direct the attention of those wish- 

 ing to improve their stock of shnep, to hip flock of pure Meri- 

 nos, believing them to be equal to any— producing as much wool 

 of a good quality from a given amount of feed, as any flock that 

 can be found. His flock consists of Ewes and a few Bucks bred 

 pure from the importation of Consul Jarvis. Bucks and Ewes 

 bred from Jarvis Ewes and a French Merino Buck purchased of J. 

 A. Taintor, Esq.

 fore purchasing elsewhere. Prices will be made reasonable, to suit 

 customers For further particulars inquire of the subscriber.

 ble monthly, and will board the same at my own house free of ex- 

 pense. I will also give the same to a good gardener— one that is

 a healthier place in the United States. B. R. THOMAS.
