The subscriber having been removed from th* Post Office, 

 by the pleasure of the PresiiienI, and left for tlie present

 editorship of the " American Farmer," which he originally 

 established, and the first periodical lu America dedicated to 

 the cause of Agriculture— That resource, though "better 

 than nothing, " being altogether inadequate, as an additional 

 means of livelihood, he has formed with his son, Theodoric 

 Bland Skinner, a partnership to conduct an AGRICULTU- 

 RAL AGENCV for the sale of real estate, and for the sale 

 and purchase of domestic animals, horses, cattle, sheep and 

 hogs, especially of improved breed. AgricuUural machinery

WHOLESALE PRICES CURRENT. 



TO WOOL GROWERS. 



For sale a full blood Leistersbire Ram, 3 years old this 

 spring ; was imported into this country in May, 1S38, by 

 the present owner. This ram is particularly valuable to 

 raisers of sheep, as he is very large an.1 of beautiful propor- 

 tions, and produces extraordinary long wool of the best qual- 

 ity. Apply to JOSEPH BRECK & CO. 



New Yorfc Urate and Poudrettc Company. 



Not incorporated but carried on by individual entei'prise. 



The manures are not divided among the Stockholders, as 

 are those belonging to another establishment, but sold, to ap- 

 plicants, for cash on delivery. Orders are supplied in the 

 order of time in which they are received. Urate 50 c-ents and 

 Poudrate 40 cents per bushel, with contingent charges for 

 bags or barrels, &c. 



The company are daily preparing for use, during the 

 warm, dry weather, the materials collected during the past 

 winter, and will have several thousand bushels ready before 

 the first of October next. The material is disinfected and 

 rendered free from offensive smell, by a compound, every 

 part of which is in itself a good manure. 



The experience of the past and present years, 1838 and 

 1339, on Long Island, has satisfied many of the farmers 

 that these manures have the quickest operation upon vegeta- 

 ble matter, producing greater abundance, and the cheapest 

 of any manure they have ever tried. 



Amended instructions for their use, the result of practic >1 

 experience, will be furnished on application. The effect o/ 

 Poudrette upon Grape Vines and Moras Mulllcaidis is bey- 

 ond all comparison. 



This company are erecting large and extensive works in 

 the vicinity of the city of New York to prepare the manures, 

 and farmers and gardeners may confidently rely on a supply.
