^ Constantly on hand, a good supply of' Howard's Im- 

 proved Cast Iron Plough. 



This implement, one of the oldest and most useful 

 employed on a farm, has undergone of lalu years, a vpon- 

 derful change in all its most esseniial parts, and hn.s 

 been greatly improved. The C.st Iron Plough is now 

 most generiilly used among the best farmers, and con- 

 sideroil decidedly the bcsl. Among Ibe different ploughs 

 now made of cast iron, Howard's stand unrivalled. 

 They have been usod at the different Cattle Shows, and 

 Ploughing .Matches, and hare in all cases been approved 

 by them. At the Briffhlon Cattle Show at he exiiibi- | 

 tion in October, 1832, they received the premium ofj 

 .*S10, awarded as being the best plough presented. I 



Extract from the Report of the Committee. 

 " The Ploughs v/ere all of cast iron, and by six of 

 the most approved manufacturers. The one' by Mr 

 Charles Howard of Hiugham, was a superior imple- 

 ment, considerable improvements- having recently beei) 

 made by him, in making the mould board much lonoer 

 lljan usual, and swelling the breasi of llie share, so'^as 

 to make every pan bear equ;illy, by which means the 

 plough runs more true and steady, is alwavs free from 

 carrying forward any earth, and wears perfectly bright ; 

 and being made on tnatbematicnl principles, he info; m- 

 ed the committee he could make the different sizes al- 

 ways the same. John Pkisce,

EARLY CEDO Nl'l.t.1 PEAS. 



These very superior Early Peas, every way worthy of their 

 name, are ag.iia recommemleil, and challenge any pea in 

 America to beat them, being reaily for the table on the 25th 

 of May (if sown in M.\rch) — are, moreover, rfirar/ and im- 

 viense bearers All who hud them last season, gave them 

 the character of being not only ihe earliest, but best pea ever 

 raised The following short'nole near home will give an 

 idea of their suc-ess ; it is from Mr Vaughan, Long Island, 

 dated 26th May, 1839. "On the 7th of March I planted 

 your CcJo Nulli Peas, and have them on my table today ; 

 had the early part of this month been as favorable as April, 

 they would have been, I doubt not, ten days sooner, as they 

 were in bloom the 1st of-May." Other references near this 

 city, an 1 i:i Dutchess county, can be given, if required. Price 

 50 cents per quart ; may be planted the moment the ground 

 can be worked,

 fats, 25 cents. Also, English Broad Windsor Beans, Sword 

 Long Pol Beans, Early Mazagan Beans, 25 cents per quart. 

 These should be planted in March, to succeed in our climate.

JOSEPH BRECK & CO it the New Fugtjiid Agricul 

 tural Warehouse and heed btore, Nos.51 and r,^ Norlli Mar- 

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

 Slalk Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not belore 

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

 inent etTectb of this application, and some ol the coHscqucut 

 peculiarities of the machine are: 



1. So great a redaction of the quaatum ol power requisite 

 to use it, that the sirength of a half groiyn boy is sufficieut 

 to WQik it very clficiciitly. 



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

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

 by any other maclime even when worked by horse or steam, 

 po.wer. 



a. The knivft, owing to ihe peouliar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any other 

 straw cutter. 



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

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

 the complicatcdinachincs in general use to gel out of order. 



Willis ha.s made some considerable iniprovemeut in his 

 Seed Sower ffir the present year, making .t as complete as 

 time aud hard study can possibly make it. He sold of the 

 last year's inipi:*'Vement, over eighty machines, being all 

 that was manun^^ureil, (and could have sold at least fifty or 

 sixty more had they been made,) everyone of which gave 

 universal satisfaction. In using this machine, the farmer 

 may be certain that his seed is put inio the ground, and at 

 the same lime in the best )iossible iiiauiier. There has been 

 a great difficulty in machines for sowing ganlen seeds: they 

 are very apl to dig up, a:id the farmer might go over an 

 acre of land and not sow a single seeil ; but not so with 

 this ; it is so constructe i that it cannot possibly clog. In 

 using this sower, the farmer can save one half of his seed, 

 and do the work at less than or.e quarler the expense of the 

 common way of sowing his seeds, and have it done in a 

 much belter manner; it opens the furrow, drops the seed, 

 covers it over and rolls them down. It will sow any kind 

 of Garden Seeds; say Rula Baga, Mangel Wurlzel, Turnips, 

 Carrots, Beets, Parsnips, Onions, &e. 



Improved Hasd Sowers, — Calculated for sowing small 

 Garden Seeds, and verv useful for the purpose intended.

VEGETABLE CUTTER. 



Wjllis's New Improved Vegetable Cutter. This machine 

 is calculated for cmting up vegetables ami esculent roots for 

 fodder, and is oi:ewf the most useful and economical ma- 

 chines that tl:c :"3triier can use. The subscribers f* el great 

 confidence in recommending this machine tn the public; 

 tliey are aware that il has been long wanted and they now 

 olier a machine that cannot fail to give salisfaetioo 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 

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

 No farmer should be wilhont one of them. For sale al the
