SHORTHORN DURHAM'S AT AUCTION. 
THE subscriber being about to dispose of 50 acres of his 
farm, will offer at public sale 30 head of Shorthorn Durham 
cattle, (being about one half of his present herd.) on the 13th 
day of June next, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon, consisting of 
yearlings, two-year and three-year-old heifers, cows, and 11 
young bulls from 10 months to iy z years old. Great care has 
been observed, and considerable expense incurred in select- 
ing and breeding this stock, with reference to purity of blood 
and dairy qualities. The awards of the New-York State Ag- 
ricultural Society, and the American Institute, of New York, 
attest the estimation in which this stock is held, whenever it 
has been exhibited for competition. About eight head of the 
above cattle are a purchase made from E. P. Prentice, Esq., of 
Albany, last May, being all of the shorthorns of that gentle- 
man, and the product of his four selected cows, retained at 
his public sale. The animals have the strain of blood of the 
herd of Mr. Whitaker, of England, from whom Mr, Prentice 
made his principal importations. The other part of the lot of 
young animals partakes largely of the blood of the celebrated 
nerd of "lhomas Bates, Esq., of Yorkshire, Kngland. from whom 
my importations have been derived, and are mostly of the get 
of my imported bulls, Duke of Wellington, and the premium 
bull Meteor. The heifers and cows are and will be princi- 
pally in c;ilf by these bulls. 
For the information of southern gentlemen, who desire to 
introduce Durham stock into that region, and who entertain the 
opinion that climate is incongenial to its successful propaga- 
tion there. 1 here introduce an extract from a .letter 1 re- 
ceived from A. G. Summer, Esq., editor of the ' : South Caro- 
linian," dated Columbia, 25th January, 1849. 
" The bull you sold Col. Hampton, of this state, gives him 
great satisfaction. He is a fine animal and I only wish you 
could see some 20 head of his get now in his yard. They 
are the most superb yearlings ever bred in the south." 
Further particulars and pedigrees of the stock will be issu- 
ed one month previous to the sale. A credit of 6 to 18 months 
will be given. GEO. VAIL.

POUDRETTE. 
THE LOD1 MANUFACTURING CO. offer their new and 
improved Poudrette, for sale at their usual rates — 1 bbl. $2 ; 
3 bbls. $5, and SI. 50 per barrel for any quantity over 7 barrels, 
delivered free of expense, on board of vessels in New York! 
At the factory, where vessels, drawing eight feet of watei 
can come, it will be sold at 25 cents per bushel. 
The expense per acre in manuring corn with Poudrette, 
will not amount to more than §4, reckoning 25 cents per bbl., 
freight and all the necessary labor included. On land previ- 
ously manured, or good sward land, one gill to the hill is suf- 
ficient ; on poor ground, a good crop can be raised by one 
gill to the hill at planting, and one at the last hoeing. The 
cost in labor alone, of manuring in the hill with barn-yard ma- 
nure, will amount to more than the first cost of Poudrette, 
with all the freight and charges added ; and the effects of this 
manure are quicker ; the corn grows more vigorously, and 
comes to maturity earlier. A fair trial, however small, is re- 
spectfully solicited. 
Apply, if by letter, post paid, to the LOD1 MANUFACTUR- 
ING CO., 51 Liberty st., New York. f3t

ANALYSIS OF SOILS, MANURES, &c. 
IN order to afford to Practical Agriculture all the benefits 
which the recent discoveries in chemiscry and the collateral 
sciences are capable of yielding, the American Agricultural 
Association have established a Chemical Laboratory in which 
agriculturists in the LTnion can have soils and manures analy- 
zed, and to spread these advantages as widely as possible, the 
following low rates of charge have been adopted :— 
Terms. 
1. Complete analysis of a soil so as to specify the quan- 
tity of each ingredient, with recommendation of 
the proper manures required, S5.00 
2. Approximate analysis of soil or subsoil, to determine 
the presence of a particular ingredient. l.Oo 
3. Analysis of bone dust, gypsum. &c, when the amount 
of one ingredient only is required, 0.50 
4. Guano analysis, i.oo 
5. A correspondence on a particular subject, where no 
substance is forwarded, must enclose 1.00 
Correspondence will be opened with every part of the Un- 
ion so that information may be obtained on m'atteis connected 
with practical agriculture. 
Samples of soils, manures, (about 1 lb. weight of each.) and 
letters to be forwarded, (post paid.) addressed to Dr. Thomas 
Antisell, Laboratory of the American Agricultural Associa- 
tion, 140 Grand st., corner of Elm, New York,

ALBANY AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE AND 
SEED STORE. 
Removed from stand No. 10 and 12 Green street, to the spacioui 
New Store JVb. 369 Broadway, a few doors South of the 
Post Office, Albany, N. Y. 
THE subscriber being a sufferer from fire, in common with 
a large portion of the citizens of Albany (having lost his store 
and stock on the mDrning of the 29th of October last), has se- 
cured for a term of years the new and extensive store. No. 
369 Broadway, or old Market street, a few doors south from 
the Post Office. This store being 145 feet deep, and four sto- 
ries high, is much larger than his former one and running 
through from Broadway to the Canal basin — Broadway being 
the principal thoroughfare in the city, between the boat land- 
ings and depots, the location is readily found. These rad- 
vantages, with the increased facilities, will enable him to 
transact many times the business heretofore done by him, and 
more convenient for the trade generally. 
In connection with these changes, he is erecting an exten- 
sive manufactory in the central part of the city, sufficiently 
large to accommodate over 100 mechanics, and a proportionate 
amount of labor-saving machinery, which will enable him at 
all times to execute all orders with despatch. And he solicits 
the continuance of that very liberal patronage heretofore be- 
stowed upon his establishment. H. L. EMERY. * 
N. B. It is his intention to establish branches at Rochester 
and Buffalo the coming spring, each to be under the charge 
of experienced brothers of the subscriber. 
COMMERCIAL GARDEN AND NURSERY. 
PARSONS & CO., at Flushing, near New York. The pro- 
prietors of this establishment invite public attention to their 
large assortment of every desirable variety of Fruit and 
Ornamental Tree or Shrub. Their importations of every- 
thing new in Europe are annually continued, and they 
offer a very large variety of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs 
imported expressly for arboretums and pleasure grounds. 
Their collection of Roses is anually enriched by novel- 
ties from abroad, many of which may be found described 
in their new work on the Rose, recently published. Fruit 
Trees receive the^r particular attention, and are propagated 
under their personal supervision ; this care, with their pos- 
session of extensive specimen grounds, in which is tested 
every variety of fruit they cultivate, enables them confidently 
to guarantee the genuineness of the varieties. 
Their care in pruning and cultivation enables them also to 
send out thrifty and well-formed trees. From their large scale 
of propagation, they can offer to dealers very liberal discounts, 
where hundreds or thousands are taken. Orders or inquiries 
can be addressed to the proprietors at Flushing, near New 
York, where catalogues will also be furnished. They have 
established a Branch at Brighton Depot near Boston and by 
the entire success of their trees transplanted thither have 
thoroughly proved the superior adaptation of Long-Island 
Trees to the soil and climate of any part of New England. 
This they attribute to the perfect maturity attained by the 
wood before frost, which renders the trees suitable for trans- 
portation to any latitude. 
At the season of transplanting, a salesman will be at their 
Brighton Branch to furnish those who may prefer obtaining 
their supply thence. mhtf
