FRENCH SUGAR BEET. 



We have just received a fresh lot of French Sugar Beet o 

 this year's growth. Tne cullivalion of ihe Beet for the man- 

 ufacture of sugar, is exciting the attention of farmers gene- 

 rally throughout the country, and bids fair to be one of the 

 most important branches of domestic industry. Sandy soi's 

 formed by alluvions and deposits of rivers are very favorable 

 to the growth of beets ; but the best soils for the purpose are 

 those t.iat have ihe greatest depth of vegetable mould. The 

 produce from an acre is very great. Two and a half pounds 

 is requisite to seed an acre. 'I'ho seed may be sown broad- 

 cast, or in drills. We confidently recommend the article here 

 offered. It is pure and of the right kind, selected with great 

 care fiom imported roots. For sale at the New England Seed 

 Store, bv JOSEPH BRECK & CO.

PRICES OF COUNT^RY PKODLrCE 



TLXW Sllil^ AND silk: COGOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pa}' cash 

 and the highest prices for any quantity of American Reeled 

 Silk. The price will be re^idaled according to the quality 

 and the manner in which it is reeled. 'J his Company will 

 also contract lo pay cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 tity of Silk Cocoons raised tlie present year. Believing that 

 it would be decidedly for the in'.erest of cultivators that the 

 price of cocoons shou'd be regulated by the quantity and 

 quality of the silk which can be reeled fnrni ihem, Ihey pro- 

 pose to receive an<l reel lliem, and allow the highest price for 

 the silk which Ihey will afford, in preference to purchasing 

 them by the bushel ; as by the mode proposed, the cultivator 

 will realize all which they can possibly be made to prochice. 

 Where thi-> course is objected to ilicy will purchase them as 

 they aie usually sold, hy ihe hushel ; in which case the price 

 will vary according to the qiialitVj age^ mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



It is the intention of this Company at al! times to offer 

 every encouragement to silk cultivators by paying cash and
