Remarks —Cotlon has fallen from 2 to cents per lb. since 
our last. Flour has advanced from .75 to 100 cmts per barrel. 
Grain has followed In proportion. In other articles the change 
in prices is unimportant. 
Money continues abundant and business good. 
The Weather lias been very favorable for getting in the fall 
crops, and We now have good accounts from the South, in regard 
to its great staples. The potato-rot is quite prevalent at the 
North, and we fear considerable losses of this valuable esculent.

To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from G. P. Lewis, W. Wheddon, E. S., C. N. Bement, A New 
Yorker, J. P. Norton, F. 
S. J. J., of Shoalford, Ala., will find that the most effectual way 
of destroying sassafras bushes is to eradicate them root and 
branch with a plow or bush-puller. If this mode is too expensive 
he is recommended to try the plan suggested on p. 235, in our 
August number. 
A Norway subscriber is informed that there are horse mowing 
machines in existence which work well in large level fields, but 
are useless on rough ground. We know of no machine better 
than the common scythe for mowing marshes where the ground 
is too soft to bear up a horse. 
PUBLISHERS 9 NOTICE. 
THE publishers respectfully request all persons indebted to 
them for the paper, or for adveitisements (and those to whom 
bills have been sent), to remit the amount during this present 
month, November. A large number of subscribers are yet in¬ 
debted for the Vol. for 1846, as also, for 1847, now near Us dose. 
The Agriculturist was continued to their address to save them 
trouble (a request being made in the January number that it 
might he returned if not wanted), and we hope no one will, 
through neglect, subject us to loss for the accommodation. The 
heavy expense of publishing our paper compels us to call upon 
our friends in this manner. The individual amounts doe are 
quite small and apparently unimportant, but the aggregate is 
large and the receipt of these small amounts would enable us to 
go on with renewed zeal. 
N. B. Persons forwarding Two dollars, will be furnished three 
papers for one year or one paper for three years ; for five dollars 
eight copies will be furnished. All moneys should he sent to 
n2t. C. M. SAXTON, 205 Broadway.

These Mills are highly economical and convenient, and every

ed. When one set of plates is worn out, they can be replaced 
by others at a trifling cost. „„„ ,, T x x __
