AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
[July, 
Farmers & Fruit-Growers 
You are informed that our method of preserving the various 
kinds of fruits, etc., beyond their natural season by means 
of chemical antiseptics— the American Preserving Powder 
—has established the fact that fruit, etc., can be reliably and 
most cheaply kept in large earthen and stoneware jars, and 
wooden kegs and barrels, by simply corking or bunging 
them tight enough for shipment, and that they will reliably 
keep during the year round or longer, or for shipment by 
land or water to any part of our country, and no doubt to 
any part of the world; and enabling grocers or venders to 
deal them out of large vessels, as wanted from time to time, 
by the quart or gallon, without fermentation being occa- 
sioned by weeks or months of full exposure to the air. 
As to the quality and flavor of the fruits thus preserved, I 
will boldly and defiantly claim that, with an equal quantity 
of sugar, they will be pronounced by three fourths of the 
public as equal to canned fruits for the dessert and finer 
uses; and by the general public and pie-bakers as equally 
good lor all cooking and baking purposes. 
Again, the cheapness of this method will admit of using 
:>n extra quantity of sugar with the fruit, without increasing 
its cost above that of canned fruit, and thereby for the dos- 
sert and liner uses produce them superior to canned fruits. 
Again, for keeping fruit for cooking and baking purposes, 
the cheapness and good quality of our fruits will argue for 
themselves, and defy competition. And, for this pnrpose, 
this method comes to the rescue and profit of the extensive 
fruit-growers, and to the pie-bakers of the cities and towns 
of the- world; and I will herein dwpll upon that most im- 
portant feature only long enough and 6trong enough to as- 
sure the fruit-growers that there is an already established 
demand for this purpose equal to the full supply of fruit 
ftroduced annually, only requiring the means of meting out 
he supply to meet the demand during the year round, and re- 
ducing the price to such as the pie-bakers can profitably pay. 
All of which it is within the province of this method to 
do, more effectually and profitably than by any other 
method, enabling the least fortunate fruit-grower to com- 
pete with the most fortunate fruit-grower in preparing the 
fruit for market, and when sold to pie-bakers at about one 
half the price now realized for canned fruits, the fruit- 
f:rowerwill realize at least one dollar ($1) per bushel for 
ris fruit, and the pie-bakers will multiply and increase the 
demand. Nor does it stop here, for the reason that fruits 
prepared and kept in the cheapest and most crude manner 
by this method, will for all cooking and baking purposes 
{irove more acceptable to all classes of consumers than des- 
ccated or dried fruits— being infinitely superior in flavor, 
and even cheaper, and more healthful even than fresh fruits 
themselves. 
All of which I will exhibit, demonstrate, and establish to 
the satisfaction of interested parties who will favor me with 
a call at my office. 
Fanners, take hold and preserve your fruit for the market. 
Families putting up fruit for home use, don't fail to try the 
American Preserving Powder. It will preserve all kinds of 
fruit more cheaplv and with less trouble than any other 
method. Get it from your grocer; if he has not gut it he 
will get it for you.

wide celebrity. With the improvements recently .added to 
this favorite Mower, we are rally warranted in Bavins it has 
no equal in the WORLD. And its Immense sale fur the last 
oO days throughout the United States is sufficient proof of 
the above assertion and of its great superiority. This Lawn 
Mower is constructed upon truly scientific principles, and it 
is the onlv pkrfectly balanced Lawn Mower ever made, 
operatedby a bail and adjustable handle, points that are in- 
dispensable, securing ease of operating, and a perfect, beau- 
tiful, and level cut. 
The Hill's "Archimedean" 
was the first (and original) balanced LAWN MOWER 
invented in this country or any other, was patented in the 
United States and Great Britain, and its Invention brought 
into general use a machine that is now a necessity, and 
almost an indispensable article. All others now made are 
copies of this machine, and the public are cautioned against 
them.

ESSEX PIGS. 
For crossing with common sows or with the large breeds, 
there, is nothing superior to a highly refined thorough-bred 
Essex. Read the following : 
Haxntbal, Mo., December 22d, 1871. 
The Esses pig I received from you has grown finely, and 
given perfect satisfaction. I have this fall slaughtered four 
grade Essex that averaged 802 lbs. each. One weighed as 
lbs. alive, and dressed 2S0 lbs., making SU 2-13 per cent of his 
live weight. They were eight months and eight days old 
the day they were slaughtered. 
JAMES C. ASHMORE. 
Clakksvillk, Ohio, Jan. 15th, 1812. 
The Essex jug I got from you Is growing finely, and I am 
well pleased with him, W. CLIMER. 
MoNMot'TD, III. 
The Essex sow I got from you is doing splendidly. She is 
admired by all who see her. I think she is the handsomest 
pig I ever saw— and I have seen a great many. 
IRVINE MCCARTNEY. 
Af.cadia, N. T., May 10th, 1S72. 
Tlie Essex pig arrived safe and in good order, and I am 
well pleased with him. He is all that 1 anticipated. 
L. J. BENTON. 
Austin, Texas, Feb. 6th, 18T2. 
The pigs arrived yesterday, aud look remarkably well. 
To say that I am thoroughly pleased is scarce enough. I am 
more than pleased, and you have my thanks for giving mo 
more than my money's worth. I have two Scotchmen in 
my employ who were in ecstasies over them (for Scotch- 
men). I would not take $150 for the pair of pigs.
