CENTRAL AFRICAN GUANO, 
The lest sample in Market, and fresh from the Island of Ichaboe. 
This cargo was among the first taken from Ichaboe, and was 
chosen from the best on the Island, and having been brought 
home in tight, iron-bound casks, instead of the usual manner of 
transportation in bulk, its fertilizing salts were better preserved 
than they otherwise could be. The following is an analysis of 
an average sample of it, by Dr. Chilton, the most eminent ana¬ 
lytic chemist in this city. He pronounces it to contain more 
phosphate of lime, and less water, than any other sample of Afri¬ 
can Guano submitted to his inspection.

PiTTS HORSE POWER THRASHER AND GRAIN 
CLEANER FOR SALE, 
This machine will thrash and clean from 25 to 50 bushels per 
hour, dependent on the power used, and requires only four hands 
to attend to it in its operations. It may be used in the field or 
under cover, as most desirable, and can be easily moved from 
place to place. The horse power may be attached to any other 
machinery when not in use for the Thrasher and Cleaner. The 
original cost, complete, was $250; but having no further use for 
it, I will take $175. It is in perfect order and as good as new.

HOVEY'S STRAW CUTTER FOR SALE, 
The subscriber being appointed agent for this superior Straw 
Cutter, now offers them for sale of all sizes, and to move by 
hand or horse power, as may be wished. Prices vary according 
to size, from $12 to $35. A liberal discount to dealers. 
Mr. Hovey is devoting himself exclusively to the manufacture 
of his Straw Cutter, and having made some recent improvements 
in them, it is be'teved that they are now the most perfect ma¬ 
chines in market for general purposes. They have taken more 
premiums than any others ever exhibited at our Agricultural 
Shows and Fairs, and are universally admired for their strength, 
neatness, and the perfection and rapidity of their work. They 
are suitable alike for cutting straw, hay, or cornstalks.

GUANO, JUST RECEIVED FROM ICHABOE. 
The cargo cf ship Shakspeare, from Ichaboe, of very superior 
quality, landing at the Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn. It has been 
well ascertained, that this Guano is superior to any other, as it 
brings forward crops earlier, and is equally lasting. For general 
farming, it will increase the crops from 30 to 50 per cent.; and 
for market purposes, it will enhance its value at least 200, and 
in some instances 400 per cent. 300 lbs. is sufficient for an 
acre. For sale in lots to suit purchasers, with books directing 
how to use it, by E. K. COLLINS & CO. 
April 12th, 1845. 56 South street, N. Y. 
E. K. & Co. have also for sale the best authenticated works on 
Guano, proving beyond doubt that it enhances the value of all 
crops 30 to 75 per cent, beyond its cost, and market gardening 
much more, bringing forward vegetables from two to four weeks 
earlier. Three hundred weight is the full average quantity used 
per acre. It is said also to be a preventive against rust, mildew, 
and the fly in wheat, and rot in potatoes. 
The Work on Guano is now ready for delivery. ml 
NEW AND IMPROVED POUDRETTE. 
Made by the Lodi Manufacturing Co., mav he had at the office 
of the Company, No. 43 Liberty Street, New York, or at their 
Factory on the Hackensack River, in New Jersev, cr by letter 
post paid, addressed to “ President of the Lodi Manufacturing 
Co., New York,” or from the several agents who advertise it for 
sale, in the country. 
Terms, Cash an Delivery. —For one Barrel, $2; 2 do., $3.50; 
3 do., $5; 4 do., and up to 6, at $1.67 each; 7 do., $1.50, is $10.50: 
and $1.50 per Barrel for any greater quantity—delivered at any 
wharf or place in the City of New York, free of expense. 
The Company have now on hand several thousand barrels of 
their new and improved article, composed of night soil, com¬ 
pounded with various other substances, every one of which is a 
good manure by itself. 
The Poudrette made by this Company, is different from that 
made by any other concern in Europe or America. It contains no 
raw-peat, turf, or meadow mud, or any other inert substance ; it 
is not like the old fashioned Poudrette, which will generally only 
last for a single crop, but its effects will last for years. It has 
been tried extensively for the last 2 years on Long Island, in Con¬ 
necticut, New Jersey, and elsewhere, and has answered to such a 
degree, that already a very large increased demand for the next 
season has been manifested. 
If used according to directions, it will be found according to 
experiments which have been made, to possess the following pro¬ 
perties :— 
1st. It is quicker in its operation upon vegetable matter than 
any other Poudrette or other Manure. It has ripened corn for 
table use in 60 days, and will ripen other crops several weeks 
sooner. 
2d. It is more fertilizing; qnd its fructifying Powers are greater 
as proved by the increased yield; its effects are lasting, and by 
its powers of attraction, it absorbs from the atmosphere, humidi¬ 
ty, ammonia, carbonic acid, and nitrogen, and retains their fer¬ 
tilizing properties, giving them out only as vegetation requires 
them for nutrition, thereby obviating the effects of a long 
drought. 
3d. It will be found to be the richest, cheapest, and best ma¬ 
nure now in use. It saves in labor, its whole cost, in comparison 
with the labor attending barnyard manure. 
4th. Potatoes manured with Poudrette, are not subject to Rot, 
or other disease, as when manured with barnyard manure. 
BOJIMER’S METHOD OF MAKING MANURE. 
One hundred agents are wanted immediately, to promote the 
general introduction of this valuable invention for the manufac¬ 
ture of Manure in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Delaware, 
and in the six New England States. Unquestionable testimonials 
and responsible securities will be required for the faithful dis¬ 
charge of the duties of the appointment. Persons of suitable 
qualifications will find this both a useful and lucrative employ¬ 
ment. Applications, if by mail, must be post paid, and directed 
to me at Westville, New Haven county, Connecticut. 
Hundreds of testimonials from the best authorities, evince that 
no farmer who is sensible of the want of Manure, should remain 
destitute of this cheap and expeditious mode of its procurement. 
Any person forwarding five dollars, to the General Agent, with 
information of the writer’s name, residence and address, shall be 
furnished with a copy of the method, with the right to use the 
same, without charge of postage.

HONEY BEES AND HIVES, 
E. Townley, 124 Canal street, hari the pleasure to inform the 
public that he has manufactured an entirely new and elegant 
Bee Hive, which has been rewarded the first premium for several 
successive years, and has been found, by numbers who have 
them now in operation, to be the most effectual preventive 
against the Bee Moth of any now in use. 
Bees can be taught to work in glasses of various kinds, such as 
tumblers, jars, globes and shades. They can be adapted to family 
use, either in town or country; in parlors, bedrooms, attics, yarus, 
or where fancy dictates, with perfect safety. Information can be 
had at the above place as to the best manner of changing 
from one hive to another, and also of making two swarms from onq. 
And should any cause of complaint arise, it will be immediately 
rectified gratis. 
Individual rights for constructing the above hive may be ob¬ 
tained for $5 cash, by addressing the subscriber; all letters to be 
post paid. Also, rights for towns, counties, or States, will be 
sold at liberal prices. 
Also for sale, a Treatise on the cultivation and management of 
Honey Bees, by the subseriber. Price, 50 cents.

BONE DUST FOR SALE. 
Having been appointed Agent of the Portchester establish¬ 
ment, the subscriber will be ready at all times to supply orders 
for Bone Dust. It is ground entirely from fresh unbleached ma¬ 
terials, and is of a superior quality. 
Price of that of ordinary fineness, 40 cents per bushel.

This last is a very powerful and quick acting manure.
