APKI1.3, 1844 



MISCELLANEOUS 



A man in Ohio, well mnunted, was urging on a 

 drove of fat hogs towards Detroit, tiiet a charinin;; 

 Jot of little ^'irls, as they were returning frmn 

 school, when one of them, as she passed the "swi- 

 nisli multitude," made a very pretty courtesy. 



'Why, iiiy little gal,' said the man, ' do you 

 COUrlPsy to a whole drove of hojjs ?' 



' No, sir,' said she with a most provoking smile, 

 'only to the one on horseback.' 



"Necessity is the mother of invention," as the 

 cook said when she took her night cap for a pud- 

 ding bag. 



Explanation. — ' Grandma,' said a little girl with 

 rosy cheeks to an elderly dame, what makes it 

 thunder and lighten ? 



' Well, my darling, I 'spect the 'ight from the 

 blessed sun gets lodged in the clouds, and when a 

 enagon't gets together, it busts. The streak that 

 flies out is the lightnin', and the bustin' is the 

 thunder 1' 



Always make the blades of your penknives out 

 of lead, and then you'll be sure not to cut your 

 fingers. — JV. O. Pic.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements h.cve been made the past year m the 

 form and workmanship of these Pliin?hs; the mould hi arc 

 has been so formed as to lay the tvrrmo rompleleh/ orcr 

 turning in every parlule of grass or sluhble, and leaving Ihe 

 ground in Ike besl possible manner. The length of the 

 mould hoard has Ik n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest i ase, both with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the fate trial 

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinnm he asked as to which of the PlouL'hs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps sn)" ic 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy to woik. 

 try Prouly & Mears, bui if your land isheaey, hard orrochj 

 BEGIN WITH Mb. HowAno'a '■ 



Al the ahnve me:;i;oned trial the Howard Plough ilid 

 more leork, uilli the same pmi-cr of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No olher turned more than twentyspven 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Howard Plough turned tu'.ntmine and ohe' half inches, to 

 the same poxoer of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quiie an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed withiput 

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secnies 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Sl5. A Ploneh, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 Sio 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, Sa 60 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehotise and Seed Stole, 

 Nos. 51 & si North Marke; Street. Iiy

WILLIS' LATEST IMPROVED SEED SOWER. 

 In using this machine, the farmer may be ceitain that 

 his seed is put into the ground, and at llie same time 

 ill 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 niiglit go 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 fanner can save one half of 

 his seed, and do the work at less than one quarter the 

 expense of the common way of sowing, and have it 

 done in a much better manner; ii opens the furjow, 

 drops the seed covers it over and rolls llieni down. 

 It will sow any kind of Garden Seeds ; sav Ruta Baga, 

 Mangel VVurlzel, Turnips, Carrots, Beets, P.irsnips, On- 

 ions, .^c. For sale at the New England Agriciiliiira,

 ment on the old mode of hanging grindstones. Stones hting
