CULTIVATORS. 



Howard's Improved Fixed and Expanded Cultivators, 

 of all sizes. The cultivator is an implement that is coin- 

 in" into very general use in all parts of the country, and 

 serves in a great measure in lieu of hoeing. The teeth are 

 so constructed as to raise the ground, and leaves it very 

 lif hi and free for cultivation, and at the same time destroys 

 the weeds. 



These Cultivators are best adapted to free and easy 

 ground, for running through rows of corn, potatoes and veg- 

 etables of all kinds, and used in the cultivation of Hops, in- 

 stead of the plough aud hoe, and are found far superior to 

 either. It is likewise well adapted to harrow in grain and 

 wrass seed ; and for ihe many uses to which this implement 

 may be applied, it must be considered one of the most val- 

 uable and uselul tools that is used on a farm, and is coming 

 into very general use.

CHEESE PRESSES.

 —lately improved by the Shakers. These are so constiuct- 

 ed that ihey govern and regulate.themselves without weights, 

 and are by far the best presses now in use.

WILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED SEED SOW'ER. 



W'lLLIS has made some considerable improvements m 

 his Seed Sower, making it complete as time and hard study 

 can possibly make il. In using this machine, the farmer 

 may be certain that his seed is put into the grniind, and at 

 the same time in the best possible manner. There has been 

 a great difficulty in machines for sowing garden seeds ; they 

 are very apt to clog up, and the farmer might s;o over an acre 

 of land and not sow a single seed ; but not so with this; it 

 is so constructed 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 one quarter the expend of the common 

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

 manner ; it opens the furrow, drops the seed, covers it over 

 and rolls them down. It will sow any kind of Garden 

 Seeds ; say Ruta Baga, Slangel Wurtzel, Turnips, Carrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions, &.c.

SATLE'S GARDEN ENGINE, 



A splendid article, will throw a constant stream of water 

 to the distance of 50 or 60 feet, with great force, and in case 

 of fire would be a good substitute for a fire engine. The 

 most perfect article for the purpose ever introduced.

RE VOLVING HORSE RAKE. 



The Revolving Rake which has been in general nse in 

 most pans of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, is found to be 

 one of the most useful and labor saving machines now in 

 use One man and horse with a boy to lead, will rake on 

 an average from 25 to 30 acres per day, with ease, and do 

 the work well. Thev arc coming into very general use in 

 all parts of the country, and will, no doubt, in a few years 

 supersede the use of the common hand rake. There is a 

 great advantage in this rake over all others, as the person 

 usin" it does not have to slop the horse lo unload the rake.
