it to the consistence of thick wliitewa^h. This is 

 to be put upon the trunks and limbs of the trees 

 with a brush, and as high as practicable, so as to 

 cover the whole surface, and fill all the cracks in 

 the bark. The proper time for washing over the 

 trees is in the early part of June, when the in- 

 sects are young and tender. These insects may 

 also be killed by using in the same way a solu- 

 tion of two pounds of potash in seven quarts of 

 water, or a pickle consisting of a quart of com- 

 mon salt in two gallons of water." 



I have some seed of the Kcd Cedar which I wish to put 

 in this spring, and having carefully examined the bacli 

 volunms of the Genesee Fanner, " Downing's Fruits and 

 Fruit trees of America," and your " Fruit Garden," and 

 finding nothing in regard to raising Ked Cedar friira tlie 

 seed, you will confer a favor by giving instructions in the 

 next number ot the Genesee Farmer. Lewb B. Wyant.

JfrtncU Zinc Paint. 



THIS new and beautiful article of Paint is now offered to 

 the trade and pnl)lio, ground in prepared linseed oil, for the 

 first time in this country. It has been used successfully in 

 France for the last five years, where it has superseded white 

 Lead as a paint. 



The French Zinc when properly prepared and used, 

 makes the most brilliant and durable white in use, and is 

 entirely free from all poisonous qualities. 



The French Zinc is not more expensive than white lead, 

 and is prepared in such a manner that it requires no far- 

 ther preparation for use, than to thin it with Turpentine or 

 raw Oil to the consistency of white lead paint. 



The French Zinc is very much whiter, and has a better 

 body, than the New Jersey Zinc. 



The French Zinc is offered dry, and prepared as above, 

 in quantities to suit purchasers, at the Manufacturer's De- 

 pot, No. IT Buffalo St., Rochester, N. Y.

McCORBIICK'S REAPING AND MOWING 

 MACHINE FOR 1853. 



FROM the well known reputation of mv Reaper in the 

 hands of more than Till) farmers, and that it has maintained 

 its high superiority wherever it has been fairly tested— hav- 

 ing again, after a nine days' trial with Hus-Jcy's in England 

 at the last harvest on the Royal Agricnltural farm, which 

 was the most extensive trial ever made with Reapers in 

 any country, been declared by the able jury of English 

 farmers as decidedly the best machine in every respect, 

 and recommended to the farmer's of England as one on 

 which they may safely rely to cut their harvest, and which 

 since that time has been greatly improved, and its capabil- 

 ities as a mower thoroughly tested, and which I am now pre- 

 pared to warrant superior to any other, both as a Reaper 

 and as a Mower— further testimonials of its superiority can 

 hardly be necessary. 



That Seymour & Morgan, Manna, and others, are 

 making and selling my madiine, altered, much to its pre- 

 judice, with the hope of avoiding the responsibility of in- 

 fringing my patent, is the best evidence of the superiority 

 of my own. They will be held responsible, and arreste<i in 

 their course as soon as the law which is sure can reach 

 them. Those purchasing and using their machines become 

 liable with them. 



To convince any responsible farmer (who is in douht 

 which is the best machine) of my confidence of the superi- 

 ority of my own, I will permit "them to take one of mine 

 with one of Husscy's or Burrall's on trial, to keep the one 

 preferred ; and am ready to submit to the same test such 

 points in other machines, claimed as improvements, that 

 are not my own. 



The new improved Reaper and Mower will be forwarded 

 to any part of the State or Canada, if ordered before the 

 stock on hand is exhausted, of THOS. J. PATERSON, 

 Rochester, Office No. 6 Burn's Building. Price .$111) cash, 

 or .$3(1 on delivery and .$S5 on time, and ?25 cash extra for 

 mowing attachment, or $30 on 'time. Subject to freight 

 from Buffalo. 



Some few reapers of last year, an excellent article, can be 

 had at $100 cash and $105 on time.

HOWARD & CO. 

 CLAIMS. 



First. Placing the cutter bar and cutters lower than the 

 frame of the Machine, and opposite the side of the plane of 

 the wheel, in such a manner as to leave unobstructed spac* 

 below the frame, and also between the wheel and the cutter, 

 with their supports to allow the machine to pass freely and 

 without clogging over the cut grass or grain, as set forth. 



Second. Placing the cutters lower than the frame and axle 

 and in or nearly in the same vertical plane with the axle, on 

 which the frame hangs and vibrates, and parallel or nearly 

 so, to said axle, so that the vibrations of the frame, on un- 

 even ground, shall not materially elevate or depress the cut- 

 ters, as set forth. 



Third. The endless chain of cutters in combination with 

 the guard teeth, as described.
