NEW YORK AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE. 
CAUTION.—BEWARE OF COUNTERFEITS, 
The only place to find the genuine Eagle and other 
Plows, manufactured by Ruggles , Nourse cf* Mason , 
of Worcester, Massachusetts, is at the Warehouse of 
The Subscriber, who keeps constantly on hand the best and 
most complete assortment of Agricultural Implements, Field 
Garden Seeds, Fertilizers, Fruit Trees, &c., to be found in the 
city. A few of the articles he enumerates below, viz. :— 
Plows.—Cotton, Rice, and Sugar Plows,.$2.00 to 4.50 
Some of these plows are made expressly for light sandy soils, 
others for a loam or stiff clay, which they work in the best 
manner. Being made by patent machinery, they are superior to 
anything of the kind ever before sold in this market. 
One-horse Plows for the North, with single and double mould 
boards. These last are admirable to work in between the rows 
of root crops and corn, when not over 3.4 feet apart, as they turn 
the furrow both ways to the crop at once, thus doing double the 
work of a single mould board.3.00 to 5.00 
Rice Trenching Plow. This does the same work as the hands 
perform on a rice plantation with trenching hoes, and equally as 
well, and with five times the rapidity that a negro can work. No 
rice planter should be without them...6.00 to 6.50 
Two and Four-horse Plows, of different sizes, and for all kinds 
of soil—stony, sandy, loam, or clay ; also for stubble and sward 
land. Some of these have crafie-clevies attached to them, thus 
enabling the off horse, in plowing a wet meadow, to walk on the 
solid sward, instead of a miry fresh plowed furrow. Others are 
adapted to trench plowing, enabling the farmer to turn up virgin 
earth in a deep soil. These plows are strong enough to grub up 
bushes with their roots, heavy bogs, &c. They likewise answer 
for partial ditching....5.00 to 20.00 
Paring Plows for shaving-off the turf preparatory to 
burning..J ' 
Harrows. A complete assortment of square, triangle, and 
double triangle folding harrows, with wrought iron or steel 
pointed teeth. The last are very superior.6.00 to 16.00
