THE GENESEE FARMER. 



Alden's Patent Thill Hoksb Hoe— For Corn, Tobacco, and 

 other Eoot Crops. We would invite th« attention ©f farmers and 

 others to 

 examine 

 this val- 

 uable improvement J. J. Thomas, Esq., 

 of Union Springs, N. Y., one of the Ed- 

 itors of the Country Genileman, and a ( 

 large farmer, who will not give his opin- 

 ion of any Agricultural implement until_^ 

 he has tested it himself^ says; 



" We have recently made a thorough trial of Aldek's New 

 Thill Cultivator, and find it an admirable implement. The 

 use of the Thill gives an efficiency, thoroughness and accuracy 

 in working, Jhat render- it in this respect superior to any other 

 Cultivator we have tested. A man with a horse will do twice as 

 much work in a given time, on stiff soil, as with a common Cul- 

 tivator ; and the pertect control which the operator has of its 

 ■depth of running, and the closeness with which he may cut to 

 the rows, without danger of striking or injuring the plants, al- 

 most supercedes the use of the hoe in any case. 



" It is more easily managed than the Cultivator of common 

 <;onstruction, is less fatiguing to the operator, and appears to be 

 ■easy for the horse. We would recommend it to our readers as 

 the best Cultivator wo know. It is made by Milton Alden, of 

 Auburn, N. Y. Price, $8. It took the First Premium at the Fair 

 of the N. Y. State Agricultural Society, 1S59." 



"After usin^ Alden's Thill House Hoe for two years, I can 

 fully endorse the above. — H. W. Dwigiit, President Cayuga Co. 

 Agricultural Society." 



•' Having witnessed a trial of Alden's Thill Hoese Hoe, we 

 cordially endorse all that Mr. Thomas has said in regard to its 

 value. — Joseph Haekis, Editor Genesee Farmer; C. W. Seeltej 

 of the Kochester Central Kurseries." 



A New and most Valuable Plow.— We desire to call the at- 

 tention of the readers of the Genesee Farmer to Rulofson &. 

 Harvey's Steaight Deaft Plow, manufactured by A. Gordon, 

 of Eochcster, N. Y. Some of its numerous excellencies are set 

 f?rth in the following letter, written by a well known and intelli- 

 gent farmer of Yates Co., N. Y. : 



Pen Yan, Yates Co., N. Y. 



Sir — Having used your Straight Draft Plow I must say that I 

 am well pleased with it, for the following reasons, among others: 

 First, the ease with which the plowman can hold it. Second, Us 

 straight and parallel draft. Third, the ease with which it is 

 changed from a two to three horse plow, retaining its true draft 

 in both cases. Fourth, the mould-board being adapted to a deep 

 or shallow, wide or narrow furrow, pulverizing the soil well, and 

 making uniform work. You have overcome the imperfect line 

 of draft heretofore presented to the team; the line of your plow 

 is preserved at right angles with the shoulders of the team, be- 

 cause of the arrangement of the beam as attached to the iron 

 frame of the plow body. Fifth, its general construction is such 

 that it obviates the necessity of a flange on the land side, used oji 

 other plows. John Mallory.

EGYPTIAN CORN. 



THE SUBSCRIBER offers to Farmers throughout the countr 

 the EGYPTIAN CORN, which upon trial last year was fount 

 to ripen, planted eren the first of July. It is estimated, from it 

 prolific qualities, to yield 200 bushels per acre, amd w»'igh3 b; 

 sealed measure, 05 lbs. to the bushel. This Corn was produce! 

 from some procured direct from Mr. Jones, our Consular Agent 

 directly on his return from Egypt. It requires no different cul 

 ture from that of other varieties, and In the South two crops eai 

 be raised in one se.ison on the same ground. It grows in thi 

 form of a Tree, and twenty-two ears have grown upon one stalk 

 and will average from five to fifteen. For domestic iise it Is un 

 paralelled. When ground and properly bolted, it is equal in colo 

 and fineness to wheaten fiour. As a forage croj), by sowing ii 

 drills or broadcast, for early feed, there is no kind of corn so wel 

 adapted for milch cows, and none that will yield half the value ii 

 stalks or corn. 



It can be successfully grown in any Sfate in the LTnion, fron 

 Maine to Texas. I can give the most satisfactory references tha 

 the corn is, in every respect, what I represent it to bo, and fur 

 ther, I am the only person ttiroughout the country who has thl 

 variety of corn. Having secured a quantity, I am now able U 

 fill all orders, for those desirous of testing it. 



To any person who will enclose in a letter One Dollar, in starapi 

 or currency, directed to me, I will send, postage paid, suffluien 

 corn to produce enough to plant, the following year, from twentj 

 to thirty acres; also, directions for planting and cultivation. 



B^" To any person that will get up a club of five, I will send 

 a package gratis.

 plainly, so that no errors may occur.
