The above cut is a representation of J. HAW'S Pecker Saw Mill. 



It is simple in its construction, very durable ; and is well adapted for plantation sawing. It will saw 

 with from 4 to 6 horse-power from 1,000 to 1,500 feet per day, if properly managed. The carriage is 24 feet 

 long, and will cut logs that will square to 21 inches, and cuts all kinds of timber. The timber is inserted 

 in the oblong plate, and can be renewed when worn out. 



I have given the Mill a fair trial, and warrant the performance as above stated. The price of the Mill i 

 $265, with extra pinions, screw-wrench, cant-hooks, set-punch, and one extra set of teeth. Any good thresh 

 er horse-power will answer to drive it. I also make Threshing Machines from 4 to 12 horse power, an 

 Threshers to thresh and clean Wheat at the same operation, for which [ can give satisfactory references 

 the largest farmers on the Pamunkey River. Those wishing further information, will address

Below we give D. K. Turtle's (Chemist at University of Virginia) report of the same, samples from 72 

 bags, and it shall be kept to that standard. 



" I am now abie to give you the results of analysis. They show the Mixture to be what you stated in a 

 form',r letter, and 1 judge that you are very fortunate in the selection of materials, especially of Peruvian 

 Guano. The per centage of Ammonia shows the pure Peruvian to contain 12-4 per cent., which is more 

 than the average The Analysis is as follows :
