Tine Illustrated Annsaal Register has been pre- 

 pared with special regard to the wants of our rural 

 population, •and we hazard little in saying that 

 it will afford more valuable information on the 

 several subjects of which it treats, than has ever 

 before been presented at so small a cost. The 

 •chapters on Country Dwellings — Improving and 

 Planting Grounds i and the 'Culture of Fruit, have 

 been prepared by Mr. J. '$; Thomas, with his usual 

 taste and ability, expressly for this work, and are 

 each well worth more than its cost.

 the Farm, the Oarden and the Fireside, forming 

 yearly two large and beautiful quarto volumes 

 of 416 pages each. Price, $2,00 a year — Three 

 copies for $5. 



This journal, which has now been published 

 nearly two years, combines in one large sheet, 

 an Agricultural, Horticultural and Family Journal, 

 furnishing, besides its large amount of practical 

 matter on Rural Affairs, in its Fireside Department, 

 a choice collection of articles peculiarly adapted 

 to interest and exalt the views and aims of\the 

 family -circle, together with a care&il digest of the 

 news of the week, and a full report of the produce 

 and cattle markets. 



" I consider the Country Gentleman decidedly the 

 best Agricultural paper in the country." — A sub- 

 scriber in €>hio. Another, in the same State says : 

 "" I consider it the best of sixteen, agricultural papers 

 which I take." 



" By far at the head of the Agricultural Jour- 

 nals of the United States." — A subscriber in 

 Vermont.

 mendatory notices from- subscribers and the press.

This work, which has now been published for 

 twenty years, is too well known in every part of

 that it is not too much to say that it lias always 

 enjoyed the reputation of ranking as the first of 

 our monthly rural journals.

READ, CONSIDER AND ACT WISELY, 



IMPORTANT TO FARMERS! 



What is that 

 you have got 

 there boy, and 

 what doing? 



Ah ! Massa, dis de Wel2s T Seed 

 Sower — de berry best fmg in de 

 world to sow de clober and de 

 ,timoty seed, de plaster, de go- 

 no, and de whsat. I 

 1 sows 25 acres MB one 

 day massa — tvy 

 him. 



It is only by the dse'ctf vaiuame improvements that we 

 can reasonably expect to : keep up with the age in which 

 we live, and public opinion everywhere has placed M. D. 

 Wells' Improved Patent Seed Sower in the first class of 

 agricultural implements. The above drawing exhibits it 

 in use, and any ordinary mind must at once be impressed 

 with the certain conviction ' that it is an indispensable im- 

 plement of husbandry, ami' that every good farmer should 

 have it. _ By its use yoti save time, which is money and 

 labor which costs money, ad 4 experience in using it proves 

 you will not be driven froiif the field unless by very rough 

 weather, and the almost mathematical precision with which 

 the seed is distributed, compared with hand sowing, renders 

 it self-evident in the opinion c'f the best farmers that a sav- 

 ing or gain of two dollars per acre is made in two crops of 

 grass and the succeeding crop of wheat, one year's inte- 

 rest on an acre of land at $33f; and sowing three acres 

 pays for a machine with lid at $6. 



The first premium Avas recommended for this machine 

 at the late Virginia State Fair, and four of the committee 

 (all having use for it) engaged one each ; and we think if 

 governed by your interest you will do likewise.

ROWE'S t ^RIVALLED PRIZE CRUSHER has had 

 its patent extended for seven years from the 24th of 

 April, 1854. it is generally acceded that this is the only 

 Crusher worthy of the name. It has never failed to take 

 all the first Honors and Premiums whenever exhibited, or 

 brought in competition. It may be truly said, it has no rival. 

 It is the ol'ny mill in the world that crushes to powder and 

 mixes thoroughly, Corn, Cobs and Shucks or Straw; an- 

 swering the treble purpose of Milij Crusher and Straw- 

 Cutter. It is unrivalled for pulverizing Rock-Plaster, Shells, 

 Tanbark, &c; and will 'outlast, in Wear, ten of any other 

 Crushers. For particulars address 



JAMES ROWE, Patentee, 

 Bainbridge, Decatur Co., Georgia. 

 I will furnish machinery for pulverizing Quarts and su- 

 perintend the erection for $1000, and warrant the mill to 

 crush a ton per hour of running time. This does not in- 

 clude the engine belt of pulley on the motive power. Any 

 wanting Portable Fence, stristly practical, address as above.
