AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE. 



THE Subscribers continue to manufacture at their 

 large New Factory on Cary Street, between 9th 

 and 10th, all kinds of Agricultural Machines and Im- 

 plements of the latest and most approved patterns 

 which will be made of the best materials and of supe- 

 rior workmanship- They are now prepared to receive 

 and execute orders for the same. 



They ask attention to "Cardwell's double and sin- 

 gle geared Horse-Powers and Threshers," which have 

 taken a premium at everv Fair at which they have 

 been exhibited, also to " Croskill's Clod Crusher." 

 " Manny's Patent Reaper and Mower." the best in use. 

 Horse Raker, Corn Shellers from $10 to $35. Wheat 

 Drills, Straw Cutters, Rick's patent iron Beam Plows, 

 of various sizes, Seymour's and Sage's Patent Broad 

 Cast Sowing Machines, Fan Mills, various patterns,

Reese's " Manipulated txuano." 



Containing — Ammonia, 8 per cent. 



Phosphate of Lime, 45 to 50 per cent. 

 This guano is a thorough and intimate combination 

 of the best Peruvian, Columbian and Mexican guanos, 

 in such a manner as cannot be accomplished by any 

 means at the command of the consumer. The diffi- 

 culty of preparing Peruvian guano for i fe is a source 

 of no little annoyance to the farmer, and when the best 

 is done.it is but imperfectly prepared. The same re- 

 marks apply to Mexican guano. When it is remem- 

 bered that the best part of the Peruvian guano is in 

 the lumps, and thafits use in particles as large as a 

 pea is a comparative loss, the importance of its being 

 uniformly pulverised becomes apparent. Even if the 

 consumer could reduce his guano sufficiently fine, a 

 uniform combination could not be affected. The ad- 

 vantages resulting from our manipulation, over any 

 mixture thai can be made, are first, that 1t is uniform. 

 Secondly — That it is minute and thorough, every par- 



ticle of the guanos being brought into the closest pos- 

 sible contact, thus securing mutual chemical action 

 which cannot otherwise be had. Thirdly— It is free 

 from lumps, thus yielding the full effect of every par- 

 ticle and saving the trouble and expense of its prepa- 

 ration. The superiority of our guano not only over 

 any ordinary mixture, but over Peruvian guano, is 

 fully sustained by the voluntary testimony of the best 

 farmers of this and adjoining States. We have in our 

 office numerous manuscript letters which we will 

 cheerfully exhibit, all testifying to its superiority, 

 without a single exception. Its money value is from 

 $15 to $20 more than any phosphate or superphos- 

 phate known. The effects of this article are no longer 

 an experiment, it has been submitted to the test of de- 

 monstration, and it is confidently offered to the agri- 

 cultural public upon its own merits. It may be had 

 from the following agents — Fredericksburg, A. K.

Threshing Machines. 



I continue to manufacture threshing drums as here- 

 tofore upon. the most approved plan, with self-oiling 

 boxes, with or without straw separators. These drums 

 are now so well known that I only need refer to the 

 fact that they were put in competition with all the 

 prominent threshers of this and the Northern States, 

 at the State Fairs in 1853, '54, and 1855, and received 

 the highest premiums each year. My new internal- 

 geared horse power, exhibited for the first time at the 

 State Fair in 1855, attracted universal attention, and 

 was awarded the first premium on horse powers. It 

 was used extensively in the harvest of 1856, and was 

 again awarded the first premium at the Fair in No- 

 vember, 1856. 



It is adapted to any machinery, has many advanta- 

 ges over others, and is worthy of particular attention. 

 It requires no digging to secure it for work, may be 

 connected to the thresher by gear-wheels, avoiding 

 the annoyance of slipping bands, breaking strings, 

 &c. or may be used with belt as is most customary. 

 Made for 4, 6 and 8 horses..
