H. M; SMITH, 



Having removed to No. 14, west Main Street, 

 Richmond, Virginia, continues to manufacture in the 

 most reliable manner, AGRICULTURAL MACHI- 

 NERY of almost every description. 



Twenty-eight years of practical experience in this 

 city and surrounding country, enables hiin to use a 

 discrimination in choice of machines of very great 

 value to his patrons. 



Not wisbing to make an over display of the large 

 number of premiums awarded his machines in the last 

 five years, will simply urge purchasers to examine 

 the published official reports of the Virginia Agricul- 

 tural Society, in which alone they can obtain reliable 

 information respecting such awards. 



For his own convenience, and to secure purchasers 

 against disappointment, he solicits early orders for 

 Threshers, Threshers and Cleaners, Horse-Powers, 

 Reapers, and for repairs to the same. His Threshers 

 and Cleaners on wheels for field work will save about 

 100 per cent, of labour over plain drums. His new 

 Horse Power is unsurpassed by any other, is adapt- 

 ed to any machinery, and requires no letting into the 

 ground, and has other advantages. 



I am prepared to fill orders at all times for the usual 

 variety of machinery — such as Wheat Fans, Straw 

 Cutters, Corn Shelters of all sizes, Harrows, Cultiva- 

 tors, Wheat Drills, Wheat Gleaners, Hay Rakes, 

 Reapers, Hay Baling Machines, Cider Mills, Churns, 

 Spinning Wheels, Road Scrapers, Belting — and Re- 

 pairs. Feb'1858— 6t 



THOROUGH-BRED DURHAM BULL. 



Having purchased, and to arrive in May, a 

 three year old Kentucky bred BULL, weighing 

 over 2100 ft>s., whose get of calves are of ex- 

 traordinary promise, will be let to a limited num- 

 ber of Cows, besides my own, at $10 each. 



Farmers in Central Virginia, who have pure 

 Durhams, or good grade cattle, will profit by his 

 services, or the procurement of one or more of 

 his calves. 



Since the above purchase, I will sell a fine 

 three and half year old half DEVON, but large 

 sized, BULL, out of one of the best milkers of 

 her day. 



Also, will sell a DURHAM BULL CALF, eight 

 months old, purchased for rny use, but to be dis- 

 placed by one of an age better suited to my im- 

 mediate wants. S. W. FICKLIN.
