PATENT PREMIUM FAN MILLS. 
I. T. Grant & Co. still continue to manufacture the celebrated 
Improved Patent Fan Mills, at the old stand, Junction, Rensselaer 
Co., New York. These mills have taken the first premium at 
three of the New York State Agricultural Shows, at the Fair of the 
Mechanics’ Institute, N.Y., and at the last State Shows in Penn¬ 
sylvania and Maryland. It is the only mill that has ever been 
produced that will chaff and screen wheat perfectly clean in 
one operation ; and for cleaning all kinds of grain and seeds, it 
surpasses anything of the kind ever offered in market. It will 
also clean rice faster and better than any mill ever got up for that 
purpose. 
We also manufacture Grain Cradles of the very best quality, 
which have taken the first premium at the New York State Fair. 
Our Mills and Cradles are for sale at factory prices, at the follow¬

AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE. 
Orange County Scientific and Practical Agricultural Institute. 
The design of this Institute is to afford the most efficient means 
for the acquisition of a combined scientific and practical know¬ 
ledge of Agriculture. 
A number of farmers residing in the same neighborhood, in the 
town of Montgomery, from 7 to 9 miles west of Newburgh, 
having united, under a written contract, one with the other, to 
become instructors to such pupils as may be committed to their 
care, through the undersigned, their officers, present the Institu¬ 
tion to the attention of the public. 
Each pupil will be under the practical instruction of the mem¬ 
ber of the association with whom he may reside. 
The scientific instruction will be under the care of Mr. James 
Darrach, a graduate of Yale College, a gentleman of scientific at¬ 
tainments, and, in common with his associates, the holder of his 
own plow. 
This part of the Institution will embrace most of the Academic 
Studie , Natural History, and principles of Agricultural Economy. 
The peculiarity of this Institute which recommends it to pa¬ 
rents is, that the practical instruction will be given by practical 
farmers, whose duty and interest compel them to attend to the 
economy as well as the general management of a farm. . 
It presents also the following features : Family Discipline and 
Care ; constant companionship with the instructors ; varied hus¬ 
bandry and soil, which the pupils will be constantly directed to 
observe and compare. In the neighborhood are places of worship 
within convenient distance for all to attend, Episcopalian, Pres¬ 
byterian, Reformed Dutch, Scotch Presbyterian, and Methodist. 
Terms—$125 per annum, for tuition and board, payable semi¬ 
annually in advance. 
Mail and other stages that pass over the Newburgh and Co- 
checton turnpike, connect our places daily with Newburgh. 
The Institute will open for the reception of pupils on the 1st 
of April. 
Inquiries and applications maybe addressed to either of the 
andersignod at Coldcr.ham, Orange County, N.Y.
