SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENT MA- 

 O NUFACTORY AND SEED STORE — We would call 

 the particular attention of farmers to our Horse-Powers and 

 Threshing Machines, that we and many others consider the 

 best in use, on account of simplicity, durability and economy 

 to the user; easy kept in order, giving little or no dust to 

 the feeder; the strongest and most durable in use. We 

 call the attention of those in want to send in their orders as 

 early as possible, as we do not wish to disappoint any who 

 may be in want of a good machine, as we were unable to 

 supply the demand .last year for a great many, owing to 

 not receiving the orders in time. We build from four-horse 

 sweep power to twelve-horse. Also Mott, Lewis & Willson's 

 Wrought Iron Railway Horse-Power for one or two horses. 

 All of which we warrant to give entire satisfaction, and do 

 more work in a given time, according to team, than any 

 machine in this State. We will refer to a few gentlemen, 

 if necessary, who live in different counties, and have used 

 our machines, so that those who are in want of a superior 

 machine can inquire of its merits : Francis Nelson, G. T. 

 Brumly and Dr. L. C. Crump, New Kent; Col. Thomas 

 Willcox, Dr. William A. Selden and Dr. James Willcox, 

 Charle%City ; Dr. N. M. Osburn, Prince George; J. P. Ta- 

 liaferro, York county; Fielding Taylor, T. M. Stubblefield, 

 William H. Roy and W. P. Smith, Gloucester; Henry Cox, 

 Henrico; George Taylor, Hanover; William M. Harrison 

 and H. L. Brook, Richmond city; Colonel Hancock and A. 

 W. Dunn, Chesterfield; Robert Dunn, Petersburg; Hon. 

 Wm. S. Archer, Dr. Scott, V. Archer and W. V. Southall, 

 Amelia ; William E. Green, Charlotte ; Randolph Harrison 

 and Julian Harrison, Goochland; I. R. Barksdale, Albe- 

 marle; D. C. Dejarnett, Caroline; Col. C. G. Coleman, 

 Louisa ; H. M. Nelson, Clarke, and many other gentlemen, 

 who have used our machine, and any of those gentlemen 

 will, with pleasure, give their opinion of its qualities. We 

 also manufacture Zimmermann's Improved Machine for 

 threshing, cleaning and bagging at one operation. This 

 machine is gotten up in the best manner, of the best mate- 

 rials, and warranted to perform well. It has taken the 

 premium over the Pitts' New York or Buffalo Machine at 

 several fairs, and it is classed a No. 1 machine. We manu- 

 facture three sizes, 24, 30 and 36 inch machines, four, eight 

 and twelve-horse powers, and cheaper than any other ma- 

 chine for the same purpose. Those who are in want of a 

 first class Thresher will please send in their orders early. 

 Thankful for past favors, we shall endeavor to merit a con- 

 tinuance of the same.

NEW OXFORDSHIRE, or IMPROVED COTSWOLD 

 SHEEP. — I am now ready to engage Buck Lambs of 

 this valuable breed of sheep at $15, deliverable next fall. 

 Persons wishing to supply themselves will please notify me 

 as early as possible, as I shall reserve only those engaged. 

 These lambs are from three-fourths to seven-eighths Cots- 

 wold, crossed upon sheep highly improved by crossing with 

 the late Dr. Morris' best breeds, the Leicester and Lincoln- 

 shire. Selections are made only of the best. 



Reference can be made to the Editor of the Planter, who 

 will testify to the fact that persons will pay near double at 

 the North for sheep inferior to these.
