^ LAWRENCE'S TONGUELESS BUCKLE. 
The Subscriber offers for sale the above patent buckle in any 
quantity, in all parts of the United States, except Wisconsin, 
Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and so much of 
New York as lies west of the Hudson river. The right to make 
the buckles for all Pennsylvania and New York belongs solely 
to the subscriber, and he will furnish buckles to all who own 
rights 4o sell and use in those two States ; and they must procure 
them of the subscriber. Persons in those two States, who wish 
buckles, must furnish to the subscriber a certificate of the pa¬ 
tentee, that they own the right to sell or use. For an account in 
full of’this buckle, which is superior to all others, see the Ameri¬ 
can Agriculturist for Sept., 1845. The buckle being without a 
tongue, the trace is not weakened by cutting holes in it; it is a 
compound lever, and holds the trace by pressure, and as the pres¬ 
sure condenses the trace it makes the trace stronger, just where 
the buckle having a tongue makes it weakest; and the greater 
the draught the greater the pressure of the buckle on the trace. 
For buckles apply to Cornell, Brothers, 269 Pearl Street, New 
y C)r k. THOS. HOLLIS. 
GENUINE EAGLE PLOWS. 
The subscriber is sole Agent in this city for these celebrated 
plows, and any one else pretending to keep them has only a 
miserable imitation ; the public, therefore, are cautioned to be on 
•their guard against deception. The following brief abstract from 
the circular of the manufacturers, Messrs. Ruggles, Nourse & 
Mason, will give some idea of the public estimation of their merits. 
In each year, 1842 and 1843, the Agricultural Society of Essex 
•County, Mass., offered premiums for the best plows, and instituted 
full investigation and trials, which resulted each year, in award¬ 
ing to Ruggles, Nourse & Mason, the highest premium. The 
judging Committee for 1843, in their printed' Report, say, “ our at¬ 
tention was called to the quality of the castings on the plows of 
Ruggles & Co., their finish and durability. Their appearance is 
certainly more perfect than anything we have elsewhere seen. 
The process of chilling the point, the entire edge of the share and 
flange or base of the landside, gives a permanence and durability 
to the work that renders it of a decidedly superior character,” 
“ and we think there is no hazard in saying, that the value of 
the parts thus made, is more than doubled by the process.” 
The following Table shows the number of premiums awarded 
to competitors contending for the prizes before the several differ¬ 
ent societies named, and the number awarded to those who used 
plows made by Ruggles, Nourse, & Mason.

It is but just to remark that the competition was as great be¬ 
tween the different plow-makers as between the plowmen ; and, 
in most instances, noted, the plows above-named were strongly 
contested by Prouty &. Mears’ (so called) “ Centre Draught,” 
Martin’s imitation of our “ Eagle” plows, and that in every case, 
the first premiums were awarded to plowmen, who performed 
their work with plows made by Ruggles, Nourse & Mason.

SMITH’S PATENT SEPARATING CORN 
SHELLER. 
For which was awarded by the American Institute , New York, 
a Silver Medal. 
From recent and extended operations in the trials of these ma¬ 
chines at the South, as well as the decisions of scientific and 
reputable individuals from various and remote parts, the proprie¬ 
tors are now in possession of the most conclusive evidence that 
this machine not only stands unrivalled, but that its arrangement 
will ever remain the climax of improvement in Com Sheliers. In 
the further support of which, the following additional facts are 
respectfully submitted, viz.:—Its structure is simple and compact-, 
of strong and durable materials; is easy of transportation ; safe in 
its operation against accident; is adapted to all the various kinds 
of corn, whether damp or dry; receives the ears promiscuously 
from the shovel, basket, or crib; breaks neither the corn nor the 
cobs ; is readily attached to any horse or other power (being 
simply driven by belt or rope) ; operates in the double capacity of 
sheller and separater, doing its work perfectly clean, and at the 
rate of from one hundred to one hundred and fifty bushels per 
hour. 
In the manufacture of these machines, the parties concerned 
have spared neither pains nor expense in the establishment of 
that system which would produce an article of the greatest 
utility, accompanied with least expense. The machine in its pre¬ 
sent and improved style is respectfully submitted as evidence of 
success ; and. the proprietors only ask of the public a careful in¬ 
vestigation, and they will cheerfully abide the result. 
In regard to a fixed and uniform price, on which there has been 
no settled arrangement, the proprietors now have the satisfaction 
to state that the mode of manufacture has become firmly estab¬ 
lished, and the price per machine will uniformly be Fifty Dollars.

DAVISON’S PATENT PROCESS FOR CURING 
MEAT. 
The undersigned is authorized by the patentees to sell patents 
for the using and sale of Davison’s Apparatus for Curing Meats ; 
and preserving timber; and also for the sale of rights for States. 
The nature of the apparatus may be learned from the article 
page 28 in this volume of the Agriculturist. By this process, all 
kinds of meat can be perfectly cured in twelve hours, and in 
warm weather as well as cold. It leaves all the juices in the 
meat, and of course it makes a better article; bacon cured in it 
may be put to smoke in two days. It is just such an article as 
every planter in the South should have. Application for rights 
and for single machines may be made to the subscriber. The 
price of the machines is from $75 to $300, according to size.

A SUPERIOR STALLION. 
A thorough-bred stallion for sale, of a fashionable pedigree » 
five years old; of a blood bay; black legs, mane, and tail, and

lbs. He has won several races, and is a superb trotter, going level 
in his pace. He is perfectly sound ; kind in temper; possesses 
great style, and would have made a capital roadster. He has 
two crosses in him, of the famous imported Messenger, and may 
be depended on to get first-rate roadsters. His price is $400

easily three years ago, but his owner having no further use for 
him is desirous of selling. 
Also for sale a road stallion 16 hands high, and four years old 
of a bay color and fine style. Price $400. Apply to
