one of these machines 300 bushels ; it sows ten feel 

 wide and distributes the seed with perfect regularity 

 over the surface at any rate you may desire to the 

 acre. The quantity is indicated by an index, to 

 which a pointer is attached, and a small boy capable 

 of filling: the box with wheat, and driving so as not 

 to vary much from the track of the machine, can 

 manage it as well as a grown person. The grain is 

 not affected by windy weather. I think I can safely 

 reeommend the machine to the Agricultural 

 Community. 

 Very respectfully, your obedient servant.

They are all made under the supervision of the 

 Inventor, and it is intended that every machine shall 

 be made as it should be; for we are well aware that 

 if we allow bad work or materials, the evil is great- 

 er to ourselves than to the purchaser. The price 

 with all improvements made previous to 1845, is $55. 

 In July, 1855, an improvement was patented which 

 when applied increases the price to $60. Since 

 that time another very valuable improvement has 

 been perfected ; and with these late improvements, 

 the value of the machine to the purchaser is nearly 

 or quite doubled, while the price is only increased 

 to $65. Another box, placed behind the wheels, 

 will be furnished to order at 8*25. With this, grain 

 or seed may be sown while sowing some other seed 

 or substance from the main box. This can be re- 

 moved or replaced in five minutes. 



Reference is made to all the Presidents of the 

 New York State Agricultural Societies who have 

 presided since 1845, and as they are in use by intel- 

 ligent farmers in half the States in the Union, as 

 well as in Canada, we would refer to all these gen- 

 tlemen to testify to their excellence:

 inches high, of great muscular power and symmetry 

 of form, docile disposition, and can trot his mite 

 inside of two minutes and forty seconds to a wagon,,

 as a proof three of them received first class pre- 

 miums at the last State Agricultural Fair, and from 

 2 to $lf)0 a piece has been refused for some of them 

 at six months old. 



Kossuth was sired by that world renowned 

 ironing horse New York Black Hawk, out ol the 

 well known trotting Mare Lady of the Lake, and 

 she out of a thorough bred Mambrino Mare, The 

 sire of hlack Hawk was the celebrated stallion 

 AndrewJaekson. The sire also of Jackson, Kem- 

 ble Jackson, Henry Clay. Yomg AndrewJackson 

 and large numbers of other last ones the fasiest 

 trotting horse of his day, he was sired by Young 

 Bashaw, who was by Imported Grand Bashaw.

 Why Not by old Imported Messenger, the Grand 

 dam of Jackson also by Messenger. Black Hawk's 

 dam was the distinguished trotting Mare Sally

 thirty seconds, and was not excelled by any horse of 

 her time. She was got by Tippoo Saib, and he by

 Hawk's time with heavy weight is the best on re- 

 cord, up to the time of his death, and established
