with the brake propei]y arranged. 
Something new, cheap, durable, and efficient. 
It operates on the brake of the Power, drawing it against the 
Fly-wheel when the speed is too fast. 
Ii restrains the speed only when in excess, leaving the Power 
free at other times. 
It does not prevent the brake being used by band. 
It. is easily attached to the Power, suitable directions accom¬ 
pany each Governor. 
It is not liable to get out of order. 
It will afford the much needed security and regularity in saw¬ 
ing wood, shelling corn, &o And is certain to prevent a danger¬ 
ous excess of speed when the belt breaks or flies off. 
Every intelligent Farmer who once sees it in operation will be 
convinced of the truth of the above, ffnd will see in it that 
which will makehis Power more safe and complete. 
The serious .accidents that are of frequent occurrence show 
the necessity of an efficient preventive, which this Governor is.

self, after long experience of working it in the field . It. is by far 
the best thing ol the kind in use. One man and a pair of horses 
will dig faster than twenty men can pick up. It throws all the

compost, is prepared under the direct superintendence.o 
L. Harper, LL.D., formerly Professor of Analytical Chemis 
try and Agriculture in the State University of Mississippi, as 
also State Geologist. Its biases is the Green Sand Marl of 
New-Jersey, which is chemically combined with fiah 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, and be¬ 
yond the possibility of exhausting laud where applied. r JFhe 
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 where other manures have failed, 
we ask hut one trials 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 
She 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

We would distinctly give notice (as abortive imitations 
and attempted infringements upon our Patent have already 
been made) that we have no connection whatever with 
other Fertilizing Companies of any character or name. 
TO FARMERS, MARKET GARDENERS & OTHERS, 
DRIED BLOOD AND WOOL MANURE. 
I have recently introduced this new and valuable fertilizer, 
which af er a thorough test is proved to be fully equal to tht 
best Peruvian Guano in all respects. In some cases, where a 
change, or more permanent results are required, it is much bet¬ 
ter than Guano, while it is to be had for one half the price. It 
is peculiarly valuable for starting early crons, being active and 
stimulating as well as permanent in its effects. This Manure 
has been used in England for years wiih the highest success, 
and it needs only to he known among intelligent American Ag¬ 
riculturists to be fully appreciated here. 
Besides the saving in cost, and the increase of crop, there are 
two other great advantages of almost universal interest to Amer¬ 
icans. It will keep the money at home which i« now paid out 
to a remote foreign government; and it will di'infect the atmos¬ 
phere of otherwise offensive matters, which are now suffered to 
pollute it aid generate disease. By the mode of manufacturing, 
these materials are so combined as to render them entirely inof¬ 
fensive. 
Professor Jas. W. F. Johnston, of Fngland, who is our best 
authority on this subject, gives 6 pounds of wool, or 8 pounds of 
dried blood, as fully equivalent to HO pounds of ordinary farm 
yard manure, or to 50 pounds refuse charcoal from the sugar 
works, or ammoniated carbon, from which much of the super¬ 
phosphate of iime is made. 
Mode of Application. —For Grass, 4f0 lbs. mixed with 
earth in a compost. For Wheat., Corn. Dais. Barley, Rye. To¬ 
bacco, Cotton, Sugar Cane. Flax Potatoes, Turnips and other
