I The transactions in tlii-. article in market have been very 

 limited in extent, since llie new clip was taken oil", but m 

 the country there has been an animated demana, and an un- 

 usually large quantity nf fleeces have been sold, and in some 

 cases a very considerable advance on the prices of last year 

 has been realized. Pulled wool is scarce and prices have 

 considerably advanced. There is a steady demand forcoarse 

 foreign, and the stock is gradually diminishing.

CUI.TIVATORS. 



Howard's Improved Fixed and Expanded Cultivators, 

 of all sizes. The cultivator is an implement that is com 

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

 serves in a great measure in lieu of hneing. The teelh are 

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

 light and free for cultivation, and at the same time destroys 

 the weeiis. 



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 tho ploMjii aud 1 i>c. n .1 ar^^ found fiu superior to 

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

 grass seed ; and for the 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.

REVOLVlaiG HORSE RAKE. 



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 ttie purpo.-ie ever introduced.

The Revolving Rake which has been in general use fn 

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

 one of the most useful and labor saving machines now io 

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

 an average from 25 to 3il acres per day, with ease, and do 

 the work well. They are 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 

 using it does not have to stop the horse to unload the rake.
