Routt's Premium Cultivator, 



* »Or Reversible Double Shovel Side Wipe. 



This Cultivator or Side Wipe, weighing only 

 fifty three pounds! is constructed after the manner of 

 the gang shovel plough of three tines. Its chief peculi- 

 arity consists in a wrought iron heam, with two attach- 

 ments, branching from it 0:1 either side, so as to give 

 it the shape of a triangle. This heam and attach- 

 ments are curved at the ends so as to rest on the 

 ground, thus affording shafts on which to fix the hoes 

 or shovels. The hoes are pointed at both ends, con- 

 stituting a douhle shovel, and by means of a cuff un- 

 derneath, at thp centre, they are keyed to the shafts, 

 and may have the cutting ends reversed at the pleas- 

 ure of the ploughman, merely by the removal of the 

 keys. 



For economy, durability, lightness of draught and 

 effectiveness of its operation, this implement commends 

 itself to the farmer, as one of the best in use for the 

 cultivation of corn. 



A premium was awarded it at the late State Agri- 

 cultural Fair, and also to the Coin Planter and Seed 

 Drill exhibited by the subscriber at the same time. 



These'several implements are manufactured of good 

 materials, and in the best manner, by the subscriber, 

 at Somersett, Orange County, Va.

MANNY'S REAPER. 



As Agent for the sale of " Manny's Com- 

 bined Reaping and Mowing Machine," I will furnish 

 printed information or machines on application by 

 letter. Fifteen years experience in the use of differ- 

 ent reaping machines has convinced me that this is 

 the simplest, strongest, and every way best adapted 

 to the necessities of the [farmer. Wheat, oats, rye, 

 clover, gi#ss, clover and Timothy seed, may all be cut 

 and saved better than any other implement. During 

 the harvest of 1856, I secured with two of these reap- 

 ers (driven by my sons, one 11 and the other 14 years 

 of age) nearly 300 acres of wheat, oats and grass, its 

 capacity with two horses, at the gait of a plow team, 

 is from 10 to 15 acres per day ; saving from one to 

 two bushels of grain per acre more than by cradling. 

 Cuts equally as well in wet or dry grass, or grain.* 



Price, delivered in Richmond, Alexandria, or Balti- 

 more, for large sized machine's, $150. Address

I am now receiving orders for these machines, 

 and will furnish them at manufacturer's prices. These 

 machines proved themselves in the last harvest to be 

 the best in use, and have been much improved since 

 that time. I warrant them to give entire satisfaction. 

 Persons wanting them will please send in their or- 

 ders as soon as possible, or I mav not be able to fur- 

 nish them. DRAYTON G. MEADE,

TO FARMERS & GARDENERS. 



The subscribers offer for sale 40,OCO barrels of their 



New and Improved Poudrette, 



Manufactured from the night soil of New York city 

 in lots to suit purchasers. This article (greatly im- 

 proved within the last two years) has been in the 

 market for eighteen years, and still defies competition, 

 as a manure for Corn and Garden Vegetables, being 

 cheaper, more powerful than any other, and at the 

 same time free from disagreeable odor. Two barrels 

 ($3 worth) will manure an acre of corn in the hill, 

 will save two-thirds in labor, will cause it to come up 

 quicker, to grow faster, ripen earlier, and. will bring a 

 larger crop on , poor ground than any other fertilizer, 

 and is also a preventative of the cut worm ; also it 

 does not injure the seed to be put in contact with it. 



The L. M. Co. point to their long-standing reputa- 

 tion, and the large capital ($100,000) invested in their 

 business, as a guarantee that the article they make 

 shall always be of such quality as to command a 

 ready sale.
