Patent 



SELF-VENTILATING 



Covered Milk-Pan. 



This is an enclosed milk-pan, so ar- 

 ranged as to secure the supply and 

 circulation of air required for the sep- 

 iration and rising of the cream. By reference to the engraving, 

 t will be seen ;hat the pan has a cover; around the lower rim 

 )f this cover are several minute perforations for the air to enter, 

 ind at the top of the chimney, (as it may be called,) which rises 

 rom the center of the cover, is another series of perforations for 

 he air to escape. When new milk is placed in this pan, the 

 •older external air presses in through the lower range of per- 

 forations in the over, and forces the warm air out through the 

 >erforations above, thus producing the required circulation. 

 This circulation of air will diminish, as the cooling process goes 

 >n, but not cease; for, gases being evolved in the production of 

 jjaream, their lightness will still cause the air to draw in through 

 the lower perforations, and so continue the process of ventilation. 

 The value of this new milK-pan will be at once apparent. 

 Dairymen often have great difficulty in protecting their open 

 pans from gnats, flies, rats, mice, snails, lizzards, Ac, &c.; and 

 they can not cover them, because, if the air is shut out, the cream 

 will not separate from the milk. 



But not alone to dairymen is the invention of value. In every 

 family milk is used ; and with one or more of these self-ventila- 

 ting paus, the best condition for raising cream is secured. Cov- 

 ered, and set upon a shelf, or the cellar floor the pan is entirely 

 free from molestation. During the time that the patent was 

 pending, in 1S58, this Milk-pan was exhibited at the U. 8. Agri- 

 cultural Fair, held at Richmond, Va.; at the Pennsylvania State 

 Fair, held at Pittsburgh ; and at the New Hampshire State Fair, 

 beld at Dover. In each case a DIPLOMA, was awarded.

MELODEONS — THE "TREBLE FORTE" STOP.— A new 

 and admirable improi'ement has just been cfl'ecte<l in the 

 Melodeons of MASON & HAMLIN. It consists in the "treble 

 forte" stop, or a stop by means of which the treble part of the in- 

 strument may be increased in power, while the bass remains 

 subdued. The advantage of this stop is f.iund in the perform- 

 ance of solo passages where it is desirable that prominence should 

 be civen to the treble notes. The house of MASON &, HAM- 

 LIN has received, since 185fi, for best Melodeons and Ilarnioni- 

 unis, no less than Twenty Gold and Silver Medals and Diplomas 

 from viirious State Fairs and Societies throughout the country.

Sural ^mml m)i '§axtMkxu\ iimtog 



FOR 1859. 



'T^niS work was started in 1856, by the publisher of the Gene. 

 -*- se-e Farmer. Its great success affords conclusive evidence, 

 not only of its intrinsic merit, but of its adaptability to the wants 

 of the rural population. A new volume, prepared with great care 

 and replete with new and vahiabte matter, is issued each year. 

 The fourth volume, for 18.59, has appeared, and is a book which 

 cannot be too highly recommended— alike beautiful, interesting, 

 and usefid. The articles are all written for its pages by men of 

 experience. It is illustrated with seventy-five appropriate and 

 beautiful engravings.. 



Among its contents may be mentioned able treatises on Under- 

 draining Orchards and Gardens, on the Fruits of the Ohio Valley, 

 on Fruit Culture in the We.it, on the Cultivation of Fruit Trees in 

 Pots under Gl.iss, on Training Wall and Espalier Trees, on the 

 Cultivation of Bulbous Plants, on the Management of Ducks, 

 Geese, and Swans, on British Breeds of Cattle, on the Cultivation 

 of Ruta Bagas, &c., &c., and a List of Froits recommended by the 

 American Pomological Society at its last session. 



The work will be found invaluable to the Fruit Grower, and use- 

 ful to every one interested in Rural affairs. 



It is furnished at the low price of Twenty-five Cents, — while it 

 contains as much matter as many dollar books. Every one who 

 oam a rod of grownd should have it. It is sent pre-paid by mail

 age stamps. Address JOSEPH HARRIS,
