BroonUiy Vale, Roxbury, near Boston, June 23, 1835. 



The quality of the Cattle at 

 market .generally, was quite inferior ; we scarce ever 

 observed them more so. Sales were very unequal for a 

 like quality. We noticed a few taken at about 3!)s. 

 We quote prime at 34 6 a 37 6; good at 30 a 33 ; thin 

 and ordinary at 24s a 2Ss 6d 



Worldng Oxen— A few buyers only. Sales dull. 

 •Cows and Calves — dull, and prices considerably re- 

 duced. We noticed a large number of sales at from IG 

 to $22, and none higher than .$33. 



Sheep and Lambs — Former prices were not supported. 

 Lots including J-5tli old, some of which were very 

 small and ordinary, were taken at 8s, 9s, and Os !)d; 

 middling quati'y 10s, lis, 12s 6d, and]3s6d; better 

 qualities, some of which were l-3d Wethers, 14s, 15s 

 and IGs Gd. > i i 



Swine— One lot of about 100, nearly all pigs, were 

 taken at about 6^c; one lot old harrows at C^ at retail. 

 Small pigs are not weighed. Old pigs, 6 for sows and 

 7 for barrows. 



We have been requested to state that there will be at 

 the Brighton Market, from New York, 100 first rate 

 Beef Cattle, on each of the two successive weeks.

THRESHIIVG MACHIJJE. 



The subscriber respectfully ofi'ers to the public a new 

 THRESHl^G Machine which he has recently invented, and 

 which for utility, cheapness ann simplicity he can recommend 

 lo Iheir use. 



The machine, put in operation bv a horse and tended by two 

 men, is capable of ihreshing grain of all kinds, whether reaped 

 or mowed, and at the same time separates it from the straw 

 doing the work of twelve men by the ordinary process per 

 day, without any w^ste of the grain 



The apparatus by which the machine is put in motion is con- 

 nected wilh It, and h is altogether as portable as a horse 

 wagon. 



Its simplicity is such tliat it can be bu! 

 farmers at a small expeuje. 



The superiority of the iqachine over any other of the kind 

 now in use, consists inainlj i„ the perfect manner in which it 

 separates the grain from tht head of the sheaf— every "rain 

 being efi'ectually separated— ^hich in itself is equal to 6 per 

 cent of the whole quantity threshed. The head passes 

 through unbroken, but the grain is eflectuallv cleared. As to 

 lis capability of execution, it will .J,resh out"as much grain as 

 the most active man cRn handle, and then the cradle into which 

 It passes is frequently not more than half filled. 



The subscriber has secured Letters Patent for the above in- 

 vention. T he machine will soon be ready for exhibition in 

 tots city, due notice of which will be given, aud rights for 

 Stales, counties and towns then be disposed of

VALUABLE WrORK ON AGRICULTURE. 



ThiBDay published by Gfo. C. Barkftt. THE CO.VI- 

 PLETE FARMER AND RURAL ECONO.MIST. By T. 



G. Fessenden. Second edition, revised and improved by the 

 Author, wilh considerabl ^ additions. 



The first ed'tion «as published last season, and the sale was 

 rapid beyond precedent for a work of this kind. The present 

 improved and stereotyped impression has still higher recom- 

 mendauons to public patronage, and cannol fail lo prove still 

 more useful lo the community of cultivators. 



This work has met with decided and universal approbation 

 from the most competent judges. Among the written and 

 printed recommendatory notices are those of the Hon. John 

 Lowell and Rev. Henry Colman. The Editors of the 

 New York Farmer, the New England Magazine, the .Maine 

 Farmer, Loudon's Gardener's Magazine, i^c. have given favor- 

 able critiques of the Complete Farmer. We shall subjoin Mr 

 Lowell's notice, and propose in some future number to publish 

 those of the other gentlemen who have honored the work with 

 their approbation. 



,, . "Roxbnry, April 6, 1835. 



" Having perused with attention Ihe Complete Farmer and 

 Rural Economist, by Thomas G. Fessenden. Esq. in its firsl 

 edition, and having recently revised it at his request, prepara- 

 tory lo a second edition, I am of opinion that it is a valuable 

 compendium and useful work. Those who know that the sci- 

 e .ce of Agriculture is so extensive as lo fill twelve quarto vol- 

 umes in the celebrated French work of the Abbe Rozier, and a 

 space not less in English works, will not expect in such an a- 

 bridgemenl full details in any one branch of that extensive and 

 varied art. But 1 know of no abridged work in the French or 

 English languages which conveys more inslructioo in so small 

 a compass than this work of Mr Fessenden.
