BEEBE'S STRA1V CARI&IESC. 



The above engraving represents a machine for removing the straw froin the cylinder of a thrashing ma- 

 chine — invented nnd patented by Uriah Beebe, of Riga (formerly of CIninndon.) It consists of six (or more) 

 revolving rakes (B) set in a frame in such a monner thot when in motion the teeth poss between eoch other, 

 and take the straw from eoch other to the end of the frame; while the grain is shoken out ond corricd through 

 a screen to a blower below, where it is separated from the cbnif. 



One end of the shaft of eoch rake (A) passes through the side of the frame, ond ha." o whir atti^ched 

 (D. ) The third, or middle whir, (C) is mode of double thickness, so as to receive a band .iom the thrashing 

 michine. Another band is passed round all the whirs, nnd n strip of board is fastened to each, with a single 

 ■crew, so as to give uniform motion. Thin boards ore placed above the sides of the frame, to prevent the 

 itraw from scattering, ond o floor or apron, of boards, is placed below to catch the short straws, where they 

 are taken up ogniii by the rakers till carried off. 



The inventor has been several ycnrs experimenting with and prrfetting this mochine; ond he now feels 

 confident that it will be found well worth the attention ol farmers. It can be seen at any time at bis residence 

 in the town of Riga, half way between Chiirchville and Caledonia. Single mochinep, with a blov^-er, will be 

 ioldfor$3J. County or State rights on reasonable terms. Addrese, URIAH BEEBE,

Te.'SJimaaial. 



We the undersigned, residing in the towns of Wheatland nnd Riga, having seen Uriah Beebe's Paten' 

 Straw Carrier in opcrntiim, believe it to be the best machine lor the purpose now in use; for the following rea- 

 sons: [t perfoims the work in the best monner ond with the least power. It performs the labor of at least 

 lour hands in the ordinary way; and the power required to propel it is only about the same ns for the common 

 tanning mil. It seporates the straw from the wheat, and with a blower ntmched, the chaff nisj. Possessing, 

 as it does, these superior qualities, we cheerfully recommend it to the public.

The highest e.Ncitement is said to prevail on the sub. 

 ject among all closses, and petitions, with millions of 

 signatures have been presented to the government, 

 praying for the repeal of this oppressive system of tax 

 ntion. Lord John Russell bos nnnounced that it is 

 contemplated to esmblish a fixed moilcrnte duty on 

 bread stuffs, in lieu of the present fluctuating nnd ex- 

 orbitant rates. The subject wos introduced into Pnr- 

 linment by n motion adopted by a unanimous vote of 

 the Cabinet Council ; whereas only two years ago the 

 head of that Cubinet, Lord Melbourn, declared the 

 corn laws could be opproachcd, touched, or altered, on- 

 ly by a madman ! ! 



The London Times contains the follovi'ing remarks 

 which mny doubtless be regarded as the language of 

 millions: 



" Thk Corn L.4ws. — It is no slight addition to the 

 claims 01 fl cause, which has nlready so niuch juttice 

 and reason on its side, thot they arc backed by the 

 most npjjalling statement.-? of the present dettituiion nnd 

 progieesive decline ol our n.anulacturiiig populiuion. 

 T/te si'ffering.^ of inillitnis demand rct'uf, ereii ihozgii 

 that rtlie/iccrc nul idcntiiul icilli llic tiuest jjvliaj i>f 

 Evglind. But the wellare of the moss is identical 

 witu the interests of the country ; nnd it is because 

 the gcnerul priiuliun avd the general loss have not 

 fainy measured against ihe jiatticiilar advunt^ige of a 

 protected interest, that the energies of the countiy ore 

 weighed down by on unequal nnd injiKJicicus syoiem 

 of ta.xation. We argued the other day, m favor of a 

 reduction of the sugar duties on behalf of tie West In- 

 dia planters ; and we now confidently nwnit that meas- 

 ure, with some others of equal imporiance, from the 

 Government. But with how much more weight 

 should we have spoken if «e bad dwelt on the siffer- 

 tng's tif a people uffiictcri hij the ci.Tse of scuTcity ; nnd 

 it we had asked our rulers not only to benefit ihe plon- 

 ter, and to increase the revenue, but to feed the people 

 by diminishing the duties on colonial pioduce — by ad- 

 justing the tnxcs on corn upon n system better cnlcu- 

 lated to nvoid the evils uf excessive flucliiniion in price 

 and entire prohibition, nnd by sweeping away the du- 

 ties which exclude us Irom foreign markets without 

 adding to our own revenue." 



The London Chronicle (radical) of the 3d May 

 says — 



The sensation produced by the Government notice 

 of Friday night on the Corn laws is rapidly extending 

 through the country. Every where it is the signal of 

 excitement and determination. By the monopolists 

 it will never be forgivtn ; nnd by the people it will 

 never be forgotten. iMinisters have fairly thrown 

 themselves on the nntien for support in the assertion 

 ol a great national rigtt and interest. The response 

 will soon be benrd in thunder. The untaxing of the 

 people's brend is a prospect lull in view ; and 'he roo- 

 ple will spring towards it like lions on their prey. 



Soaking Oniou Seed, 

 MissRS. EuiToRs-J have tried the experiment of 

 sprouting Onion seed as per directions of a correspon- 

 dent of the Genesee Farmer. After covering the 

 seed with warm water several times in the course of 

 three weeks, I despaired of their sprouting, and platst- 

 ed them by laemselves — planting the adjoining bt d 

 with dry seed The result is, that the eoukcd see 

 came up in four or five doys, during the cool weather 

 of the early port of this month — they ore now ahead 

 of the weeds. The dry seed just begins to appear, 

 after two weeks plnnting. SENECA. 



Striped Bugs— Inquiry. 



Messrs. Editors. — Is there any certein preventive 

 of the vellow striped bugs that destroy our vines 1 I 

 have never seen ony thing yet that would keep them 

 off, that did not destroy the vine, if there is any 

 thing thot may be depended upon, please make it 

 known. T. 



RtMARKs. — The only sure and effectual way that 

 we know of is to cover the vines witu milinet t'rambs. 

 Perhaps some of our correspondents can inform us ol 

 a better. — EtiS.
