RURAL PUBLICATIONS. — The Illustrated An- 

 nual Register of Rural Affairs and Cultivator 

 Almanac for 1855, embellished with more than one 

 hundred engravings, 1 vol. 12 mo. 144 pp.— price 

 25 cents in paper covers— bound, 50 cents— sent 

 prepaid by mail. 



The Illustrated Annual 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, and the Culture of Fruit, have 

 been prepared by Mr. J. J. Thomas, with his usual 

 taste and ability, expressly for this work, and are 

 each well worth more than its cost. 



The Country Gentleman, a Weekly Journal for 

 the Farm, the Garden 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 

 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 careful 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 Ohio. 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. 



"Your paper is indubitably the best paper in the 

 country." — A subscriber in Massachusetts. 



"Decidedly the best Agricultural publication in 

 the country." — Hudson Gazette. 



"It is without a rival." — Winsted Herald. 



" The neatest and the best paper of its kind.''— 

 Woonsocket Patriot. 



We could easily fill a column with similar com- 

 mendatory notices from subscribers and the press. 



The C ultivator — a monthly Journal for the Far- 

 mer and the Horticulturist, beautifully illustrated 

 and forming an annual volume of nearly 400 pages, 

 at 50 cents a year. Clubs of 20, will be furnished 

 with The Cultivator and The Illustrated Annual 

 Register, to each, for $10. 



This work, which has now been published for 

 twenty years, is too well known in every part of 

 the Union, to need commendation. It is believed 

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

 enjoyed the reputation of ranking as the first of 

 our monthly rural journals.

It is only by the use or vaiuaDie 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, and that every good farmer should 

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

 labor which costs money, and experience in using it proves 

 you will not be driven from 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 of 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 years inte- 

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

 pays for a machine with lid at $6. 



The first premium was 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 Mill do likewise.

P OWE'S UNRIVALLED PRIZE CRUSHER has had 



XV 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 olny mill in the world that crushes to powder and 

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

 swering the treble purpose of Mill, Cr asher 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, 

 Bambridge, 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 or pulley on the motive power. Any 

 wanting Portable Fence, strictly practical, address as above.
