 it from the body of the animal : that in this way, as the 

 experiment he has made seems to prove, each otter may 

 be made to bring the owner fl4, annually. The animal 

 yields, so it is said, two crops or fleeces of fur a year. 

 There is also an intimation in the papers that Mr. Entz 

 is now beginning an experiment on Muskrats. 



We have heard before, " that every kind (or va. 

 rious kinds) of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and 

 of things in the sea, is tamed, and have been tamed of 

 mankind ; " but we never before heard of picking any 

 of the animals but those that are so unfortunate as to 

 wear feathers — Old Colony Democrat.

For Sale at the Agricidtural Warehouse, Nos. 51 & 52

 the above truly valuable and useful machine. The simplicity

 work is performed, the little probability of its gettin;; out of or- 

 der, and the fact thai one man can operate it, (which is not the 

 case with any other machine now in use,) gives it a decided 

 preference over any oilier, and strongly recommends itself to 

 all who are disposed to use their fodder lo the best advantage. 



Hundreds who have used it. have given conclusive testimony 

 o( its value. One gentleman, (Mr. A. Shelden, of Beverly,) 

 asserts that he makes a clear saving of one third bv usinff it
