THE RHODE ISLAiND MEDICINE i 



AS INFALLIBLE CURE FOR HARD TfWES AMU TROUBLED 



CONSCIENCES ! 



We are not in the habit of advertising cither quack or 

 patent medicines in the Farmer; but there is no quack- 

 ery in the subjoined nostrum ; and we hope the Rhode 

 Island Society will not think of rendering it exclusive 

 by taking out a patent. Under the ii7/-iou9 complaints 

 which are prevalent among most classes at the close of 

 the year, we bei; leave to recommend the Rhode Island 

 Society s remedy as effectual. We recommend it to our 

 custoiiiers in particular, ai a certain cure for 'those disa- 

 greeable qualms of conscience, which we know some 

 few of them must feel about tiiis time; and for whose 

 sufferings wo feel an unaffected compassion. 



" We hereby acknowledge tho receipt of one hundred 

 and fifty dollars from thu Rhode Island Society for the 

 Encouragemenl of Domestic Industry, to pay in advance 

 for the J^'-.w England Farmer, to be distributed among 

 the members of the Society.

\ EGETABliE CITTER. 



Willis's New Improved Vegetable Culler. This machine 

 is calculated for cutting up vegetables and esculent roots for 

 fodder, and is one of the most useful and economical ma- 

 chines that the farmer can use. The subscribers feel great 

 confidence in recommending this machine to the public ; 

 they are aware that it has been long wanted and they now 

 ofier a machine that cannot fail to give satisfaction upon a 

 fair trial. It will cut with ease from one to two bushels per 

 minute, in the best possible manner, and is not liable to get 

 out of order, being made in the most substantial manner. 

 No farmer should he without one of them. For sale at the 

 Aaricultural Warehouse, 51 and 62 North Market Street.

GREEK'S PATENT STRAW CUTTER. 



JOSEPH BRECK & CO. at the New England Agricul 

 lural Warehouse and Seed Store, Nos. 51 and 02 North Mar- 

 ket Street, have lor sale. Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Slalk Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

 applied to any implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent effects of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



1. So great a reduction of the quantum of power requisi^ 

 to use it, that the strength of a half grown boy is sullicient 

 to work it very efficiently. 



2. With even this moderate power, it easily cuts two bush- 

 els. a minute, which is full twice as fast as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any other 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and 

 put together very strongly. It is therefore not so liable as 

 the complicated machines in general use to get out of order.
