T O THE FARMERS, HAY DEALERS, 
AND PLANTERS OF THE UNITED STATES— In- 
gersoll’s Improved Portable Hay and Cotton Press, 
combines greater power and portability, requires less labor, oc¬ 
cupies less space, and costs less money than any other hand pow¬ 
er machine for baling Hay or Cotton ever offered to the pub¬ 
lic. It has recently been much improved, and is warranted to 
give satisfaction. 
We have numerous letters from those who have si en and used 
these presses during the past season, similar to the following 
from Wm. Thompson. Esq., South Londondary, Vt., who writes 
Feb. 8, 1858. as follows : 
Gents : “ I think your press, with the improvement you have 
made recently, will exceed anything of the kind yet got up, for 
it will press more in a clay, with only two hands to work it, and 
do it easier, than any other press in New-England.” 
No. 1 Press—Weight of Bale 150 to 200 pounds. 
No. 2 Press— “ “ 250 to 300 “ 
Presses constantly on hand and other sizes and for other pur¬ 
poses made to order. For further information call or address

A saew and. Profitable use for 
Swamp growth and tine trimmings 
of Trees. 
DANIEL’S PATENT “ GRANULAR FUEL” is the growth 
of swamp lands cut into lengths adapted for kindling purposes 
or Summer fuel (about four inches). This article is prefened to 
charcoal or split wood for kindling coal fires, no shavings being 
required. An inexhaustible supply of material can be found 
within convenient distance of all our cities and towns. It re- 
peats’its growth every three years. With Daniel’s Patent Fuel 
Cutter and one horse power one man can cut 600 bushels per 
day. Seasoned hickory three inches in diameter is cut with it. 
Upward of 40 machines are now in successful operation in 
Massachusetts. Granular Fuel brings the same price as 
Charcoal, and costs but three cents a bushel. A right 
with machine, costing $500, insures an income of $1,500 per an¬ 
num. Send for Circulars containing references, &c., to

Mi;. B. D. Washburn: 
Dear Sir— I improve a moment to fulfill my promise relative to 
jny “ Granular Fuel Business ”—the right of which I purchased 
of you—and I am happy to sav that it far exceeds my most san¬ 
guine expectations. ^ We did not commence taking it into the 
market until this Spring, and I now find it difficult to supply the 
demand. So you know! am not doing a very bad business , as you 
are acquainted with the profits under such circumst ances ; and 
and Fairhaven, but I would not dispose of it now for $2U00,U0, 
and from what I can learn, all that are in the business are doing 
a very good business. It is a cash business, which makes it a 
very agreeable employment. Please accept my most hearty 
thanks for your very good advice. 
Respectfully yours, 
ISAIAH WEST. 
The following is from a gentleman who has used hereto¬ 
fore the split wood, out residing in Taunton the past Winter 
used the Granular Fuel. He is now residing in Brooklyn : 
New York, May, 18, 1858. 
Mr. b. D. Washburn, Taunton, Mass.: 
Your favor asking my opinion of the Granular Fuel is at hand, 
and would say that my family usednoother kind of kindling ma¬ 
terial the past Winter, for they found it not only cheaper than 
■plit wood, but far more convenient in kindling, as no papers or 
shavings are necessary—and it takes no time to arrange it for 
lighting,simply throw it in and apply the match. 
As soon as it is for sale in Brooklyn shall dispense with the 
split wood. Respectlully, &c. A. S FISKE.

To Practical Farmers and Dealers

The JV&TI.OJY'AXj FISIS T11L1ZEK, a modern 
compost, is preparod under the direct superintendence of 
L. Harper, LL.D., formerly Professor of Analytical Chemis¬ 
try and Agriculture in the State University of Mississippi, as 
also State Geologist. Its basis is the Green Sand Marl of 
New-Jersey, which is chemically combined with fi*h and 
pure animal bone • Letters Patent for this and foreign 
countries have been granted. It is unhesitatingly accredited 
superior to Peruvian Guano, strengthening the soil, an d b e¬ 
yond the possibility of exhausting land where applied. r SThe 
increase in the yield of plants and all cereals is 
largely augmented $ while it supplies a continuous 
source of fertility. For sandy , barren and aban¬ 
doned lands , and tcltere other manures have failed, 
we ask but one trial , trusting solely upon the rare 
constituents which this Fertilizer abundantly possesses, and 
which are so wholly and peculiarly essential in an 
article of Fertility, such as is here reliably represented,, 
We would beg the attention of Farmers to its use the coming 
Autumn for Winter grain, and to the fact that it has arrested 
the rot in potatoes after decay has commenced. Price per 
ton of 2000 lbs., $35. For all detailed particulars, analyses, 
directions and recommendations, apply or send to the office 
of TChe JYalional Fertilising Co», 37 Fulton -

This is a new and highly improved Implement, got up by my

the best thing of the kind in use. One man and a pair of horses

potatoes, (even the smallest), clean out of the ground, and 
leaves them clear of dirt on the surface. R. L. A.LLEN,
