and direct those less skilled than himsclfj and . at the 

 same time accomplish the labor of ten men, with no 

 more exertion than is pleasant for exercise. With Ray- 

 mond's Hay Elevator he may stow away his hay in his 

 barn with comparatively little labor and a great saving of 

 time ; but the farmer impatiently awaits the time when 

 he may for his money obtain an improved hay-loading 

 machine, so vainly sought by many of us. 



The potato crop can now be grown entirely without 

 hand labor, True's Potato Planter cuts the potatoe,, 

 drops, furrows and covers, at one operation. With Hol- 

 brook & Chandler's Horse Hoes, the labor of hoeing is 

 wholly performed by horse power. By the use of the 

 side hill plough, the harrow and the drag that any far- 

 mer can make in two hours, costing not more than two 

 dollars for materials — than which no greater labor-sav- 

 ing implement has yet been invented for the firm — and 

 with Willis' Seed Sower, the Danvers Truckle Hoe, all 

 of the root crops can be grown with about one half the 

 labor formerly required. 



The changing of an inferior variety of apples or pears 

 for a superior one, is now so simplified and' made easy 

 by the use of a liquid grafting-wax, applied with a 

 brush, that no one need be without the choicest kind of 

 such fruit, who has healthy vigorous trees of Avhatever 

 size they may be. Nor has improvement stopped here. 

 We need not leave Essex County to find that within a 

 few years there have been introduced by skill and care- 

 ful cultivation, the Hubbard Squash, the Stone Mason, 

 and Marblehead JMammoth Cabbages, Emery's Early 

 Cabbage, a superior early Tomato, and Lettuce, the Dan- 

 vers Onion, all better, in some respects, than before ex- 

 isted ; and to the list of fruits have been added Allen's.
