Remarks. —Cotton, Wheat, and Flour arc the only articles 
which have fallen of any consequence since our last, and the 
change in these is not very material. 
Money is scarce and hard to be obtained except upon the best 
paper, and that occasionally sells at a considerable discount 
fVom legal interest. 
The Weather has been highly favorable for the fall busi¬ 
ness. We hear of no complaints at the North, except of the 
potatoe-rot. In some districts at the South. Cotton is coming 
on poorly. Rice has proved a good crop, and Sugar promises 
a large yield. 
To Correspondents. —Communications have been received 
from David Tomlinson, Calvin Coulter, Jr., L. F. Allen, A Far¬ 
mer’s Wife, F.. and A. L. Bingham. 
Acknowledgments. —Specimens of Ground Ivy, or Ale-Hoof 
from F. of Fairfax, Va., Descriptive Catalogue of Fruit and Or¬ 
namental Trees, from Benjamin Hodge, of Buffalo ; Proceedings 
of the Agriculturists’ and Mechanics’ Association of Louisiana, 
from D. .1. Flukers ; and some other pamphlets whieh have un¬ 
fortunately been mislaid. 
PUBLISHERS’ NOTICE. 
THE publishers respectfully request all persons indebted to 
them for the paper, or for advertisements (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 its close. 
The Agriculturist was continued to their address to save them 
trouble (a request being made in the January number that it 
might be 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 due 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"pa per for three years ; for five dollars 
eight copies will be furnished. All moneys should be sent to 
n2t. C. M. SAXTON, 205 Broadway. 
AMERICAN EGG “HATCHING MACHINE. 
Patented Feb. 20, 1846. 
AFTER 15 months of practical demonstration, the subscriber 
is enabled to present the above machine to the public with con¬ 
fidence, as an auxiliary to the wants of the farm-house. It is so 
simple in its construction and management, that a child can in 
a short time superintend its operations, with about an hour’s at¬ 
tention during the day ; and it requires no care after bed-time 
Alcohol, or other high wines, is found to be the cheapest and 
cleanest fuel, and by repeated trials, the average expense of this 
kind of fuel does not exceed a quarter of a eent an egg, for the 
full term of twenty-one days. The chickens produced are healthy 
and strong, and their fine appearance has been the subject of 
general remark, amon^ the many visitors (now) attending Sara¬ 
toga. Full printed directions and explanations accompany each 
machine. The machines are durable, and can be sent with 
safety through any of the ordinary channels of conveyance.
