SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR 
Combined Scraper and Hiller the most valuable labor-saving imple- 
ments for the field ever offered to the planter. 
They work easily to the hand and team, and do the work 
thoroughly, and with a degree of uniformity and exactness, un- 
equalled by any other metkod, and unimaginable by one who has 
not seen them work. They are very durable and easily kept in 
repair, and, in my opinion, will pay for themselves in one year.

Dt. a. W. Washburn — Dear Sir : — I have used the Cotton Plan- 
ter, purchased of you, and my neighbors as well as myself are very 
much pleased with its performance. I shall want two more for 
next season, and tbink there wiU be a demand for them in this 
Parish as soon as they become known. H. H. CONNELL. 
Yazoo County, Juno 24, 1857. 
A. W. Washbzun Co. — Gentlemen; — I have used Dr. Wash- 
burn’s Planter, and Scraper and Hiller this season, with unparral- 
led success. They are capable of securing a more perfect stand, 
while they do the work better than by any other means I have ever 
known. The Planter being already sufficiently peiffect, the com- 
bination of the Scraper and Hiller into one machine, by reducing 
the cost and facilities, and improving effect, has left no room for 
further improvement. 
I shall use them more extensively next season, and shall want 
some more machines. Yours truly,

PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES. 
T he subsci'iber respectfully calls the attention of Southern 
Planters and Mechanics to the PORTABLE STEAM EN- 
GINES, of which he has the Agency in New Orleans. They are 
so simple in their construction that any negro of ordinary capacity 
can be taught to run one in a day. For ch'iving light machinery, 
running cotton gins, plantation sawmills, or corn mills, lumping 
water, steaming food, etc., they cannot be excelled. A striking 
feature of these engines is that they cost less than would mules or 
horses, to do the same amount of work. A pair of horses wUl 
readily move them place to place over any ordinary roacL They 
require no brick-work to set them up, but they are allready to be 
put in operation, with the exception of a smoke-pipe or chimney. 
One is kept at work in the subscriber’s warehouse every day be- 
tween 9 and 3 o’clock, ai d all are invited to call and inspect it. 
The Planter, especially, should look with pleasure upon the intro- 
duction of these Engines, to take the place of horse-power in gin- 
ning cotton and grinding corn, as the cost o: running a 6, 8, or 10 
horse Engine is much less per day than the expense of feeding the 
same number of horses:

BLACK ESSEX HOGS. 
F or SALE, a few pair of three to four months old, at $20 per 
pair. For Lot Hogs, I consider this breed superior to any 
other — they cannot be made to take the mange, and are free from 
cutaneous eruptions and disease of the lungs, to which bogs are 
so liable when confined in dry pecs in a Southern climate. Address
