AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST, 
[January, 
as 
Xo Advertisers—Advance in Terms, 
Altention is directed to the terms of advertising, which 
will hereafter be a little more per line than formerly. The 
now terms, however, are in reality not so high as when 
.he previous rates were established, owing to the large 
Increase in our circulation. 
But our charges will still be lower than those of any 
other journal wo believe, and considerably below the 
average. Thus: Our new terms are but little more than 
half a cent a line for each thousand subscribers. By the 
column the charge is less than i cent per 1000. The 
comparative cheapness of these terms will be appreciated 
when w e state as a matter of fact that, generally the 
charges by the agricultural periodicals range from 2 
to 5 cents per line for each 1000 subscribers. In a few in¬ 
stances they are lower, and in some cases higher—in one 
agricultural infonthly the regular charge is over 10 cents 
per line per 1000. 
We make these comparisons, not invidiously, but in 
reply to a few persons who have, without calculation 
doubtless, complained that even our former terms were 
higher than others. 
The fact that the Agriculturist is issued but once a 
month, and is in a form, and of a character to be preserved 
and often referred to, will of course be appreciated. 
We desire but a limited number of advertisements, and 
exclude all patent medicines, and things of a deceptive 
character. 
The average circulutiou of the Agriculturist for 
six months past has been somewhat over Fifty 
Thousand Copies per month. This is believed to 
be a larger Circulation than that of any other Agricultural 
or Horticultural Journal in the world. Very large acces¬ 
sions of new subscribers are daily received.

THE 
AMERICAN PUMP. 
Patented, April 5, 1859. 
WITHOUT SUCTION, WITHOUT PACKING. 
This is a Double Acting Force Pump , with but one bore and 
one Piston, worked by a tee piece, having as much leverage and 
less friction in its working than any other pump heretofore in¬ 
vented. 
The working parts all stand under the water } as does the air 
Chamber, beyond the reach of careless nr malicious interference 
or frost; there is no loss of water and no los* of labor in any 
depth —a constant flow of water is kept up. The different sizes 
five in all, work in diameters of from 14 to 24 inches, and cost 
$15, $'20, $25, $4J and $60 each, are worked by hand, horse, 
water, wind or steam ; adapted to cisterns, wells, tanks, ma¬ 
chinery, engines, mines, rail-roads, docks, forcing water under 
or above ground to great heights and distances ; discharges at 
various points—throws by hose and pipe, 30 to 40 feet. It has 
now been in successful operation for 8 months, in every dep'h 
from 8 to 100 feet, and for nearly every conceivable purpose, in 
twenty-four States of the Union, commencing at Maine and 
extending to the Rio Grande, and in New Brunswick and Cuba. 
“The Dump needs no priming to obtain wa:er The arrange¬ 
ment and operation are very simple, and easily understood.”— 
Life Illustrated, N. Y. 
“This is a new Pump which is offered for public favor. 
Those, who have used it speak highly of it ”— N. Y. Observer. 
“The piston discharges ut both ends into the air-chamber, 
causing a regular flow of water at the discharge pipe at top. 
If preferred, every part can be galvanized, except the piston, 
which keeps itself clean, and is proof against rust.”— N. Y. 
Evangelist. 
“This is a new invention, being exceedingly simple rend¬ 
ering the labor of working it, on account of the very small 
amount of friction in its working parts, very trifling in compar¬ 
ison to other Pumps of a similar nature.”— N'Y. Christian 
Advocate and Journal 
“As a specimen of the ease and efficiency with which this 
Pump works, we can stn'e, that one man, working regularly, 
forced water from this Pump, a distance of 540 feet, being 97 
feet perpendicular height.”— Scientific American, N. Y. 
“There are no suction valves nor complicated fittings; nei¬ 
ther chains, pulleys, nor guide rods. It is easily arranged for 
any motive power, and lift' water to any desirable height 
without any waste of force. A woman or boy can work it with 
ease to raise water 50 feet, and a man can raise it 100 feet.”— 
The Independent, N. Y. 
“One of these Pumps now in use in this vicinity, enables us 
to state that full confidence can be placed in the statement 
contained in the advertisinent.”— Presbyterian Banner and Ad¬ 
vocate, Pittsburg, Pa. 
“The Pamp we personally tested, was collected with a pipe 
65 feet high, and it required but a very slight exertion with 
one hand to deliver a stream of water at this height at the 
rate of eight or ten gallons per minute A small boy could 
have done it with ease,”— The American Mining Chronicle, N. Y. 
*• We got one of them, which we have put into operation on 
our farm, and like it so far very much It brings up a con¬ 
tinuous stream of wafer, with little or no labor to the person 
working it ."—The Southern Planter. Richmond, Ya. 
* Having had considerable practical experience in the use of 
machinery of this character, after testing this with our own 
hands, we have no hesitation in according t o it our unqualified 
favor. In truth, it surpasseseverything for the purpose we have 
before examined.”— U. S. Journal. » 
“ One of our newest and most useful inventions of the day. 
It is without packing and without suction, is exceedingly 
simple in its construction, and, at the same time, possesses 
all the requirements of a good Pump, and can be used either 
as a well, a cistern, or a ship's Pump ”— New York Express. 
“ A boy of ten years of age can work it at 50 feet, and a man 
at a hundred feet. We have seen one in operation, and con¬ 
sequently speak from personal knowledge. They are adapted to 
almost every purpose where a Pump is required.”— New York 
Day Book. 
“ Having seen one of your Pumps in operation, we consider 
it the best we have ever seen for general use; it is simple, and 
can be operated with less power than any Pump we have ever 
known of the same capacity.”— Galveston News, Texas. 
“At the late State Fair in this city, ‘The Amcrcan Pump 
took the Premium, and met the approbation of all who exam¬ 
ined it.”— Raleigh (2V. C.) Register. 
“ We speak from personal knowledge, ami say, that of all the 
Pumps we ever saw, we newer saw one at all comparable to 
this.”— St. Louis (Afo ) Ch. Advocate. 
Dobb’s Ferry, November, 7, 1859. 
J. M. EDNEY, Esq —Having one of your newly invented No. 
I Pumps erected on my employers' grounds, at Nints, near 
Dobb’s Ferry, in a well of 67 feot, and having given it several 
trials of near an hour each, I find it to raise from 8 to 10 gal¬ 
lons per minute, with case, and to my satisfaction. (The Pump 
has been in constant use for seven months, and is now worked 
by a windmill.) JOHN IRVING, 
For F. COTTENET, of Cottenet $c Atherton, N. Y. 
New York. Novcmbtr 7, 1859. 
J. M. Edney, Esq—Having had one of your No. 3 Pumps 
in successful operation for several months, on my premises at 
Greenwich, Conn., which forces the water up a hill to the dis¬ 
tance of 540 feet, and to an elevation of 97 feet, I am enabled 
to state that it has more than met my expectations, and has 
not only given satisfaction, but evidence or superior capability 
strength, and durability. ROBERT M. BRUCE. 
Cornwall, N. Y , June 17,1859. 
j Dear Sir— The Pump for my well, of 46 feet, raises a good 
stream of water and a constant flow—works easily, and gives 
me perfect satisfaction The one for my cistern under my 
piazza, forcing water into my tower. 40 feet, anwers the pur¬ 
pose so much better than anythingl could find—gives me good 
satisfaction. Respectfully yours. 
JAMES MARSH. 
New Hanen, Conn., May 16, 859. 
Dear Sir —We have had your Pump put in on trial— the water 
comes— find within check for $39 for the same. (Depth 39 feet.)

Washington Heights, Nov. 22nd, 1859. j 
J. M. Edney Esq. — Having had occasion, neatly three 
months ago, for a Pump differing somewhat from those in or¬ 
dinary use, after inspecting many kinds I met with your circu¬ 
lar, and soon decided that your Pump was just the thing wc 
required. I ordered a Number 2 Pump, the cylinder and piston 
brass, the remainder of galvanized iron. It was well fitted up, 
works easily and successfully, and has thus far required no re¬ 
adjustment or attention whatever. Indeed, I regard it as the 
most durable Pump 1 have seen, and possessing al! tho merits 
you claim for it. K, B. PEET. 
J. H. Nevin, of Pittsburg. Pa., (well of 67 feet), says March 11 
—“I am quite well pleased with the Pump; it works very hand¬ 
somely indeed. Find check within for $40, and send me an¬ 
other Punip^u-sf like mine.” 
Messrs. Rnodes & Deats, of San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 5th. say 
—“ Wc think your Pumps will sell well here, and supersede all 
other highly prized Pumps. Please send us six No, 2 Pumps, 
with 30 feet of pipe and rods each.” 
D. S. H.Darst.of Gonzales. Texas, October 28th, says: “Find 
drawing* within for aPumo for mining purposes (perpendicular, 
130 feet;. Inclosed find draft for $230 . pay for the above Pump, 
and send tho remainder to me in No. 1 Pumps with extra pipe.’

THE PEOPLE’S MILL. 
SANDFORD’S PATENT. 
A FARM MILL, Portable. Simple, Compact, and made on 
an entirely new principle, with plates having a reciprocating 
and oscilating, instead of a rotary motion, with all the power 
applied within one inch of the center of the shaft, and one that 
has been fully tested and improved by two years’ experience, Is 
now offered to the public. Every Mill is tested, and no one is 
sent out unless it will grind a bushel of hard Corn fine enough 
for stock feed in eight minutes; many kinds of Grain it wi.l 
grind much faster. 
It is the PREMIUM MILL for the People, and obtained the 
SILVER MEDAL at the late Exhibition at the American 
Institute in the City of New-York. 
The People's Mill can be put into any saw mill. 
The People's Mill is the cheapest Mill ever offered to the public. 
The People's Mill is the simplest Mill ever made. 
The People's Mill is the most durable in use. 
The People's Mill has the mosi grinding surface of any pot table 
mill. 
The People's Mill requires less power than any other doing the 
same amount of work. 
The People's Mill requires less speed than any other mill. 
The Pecple.'s Mill is adapted to any kind of power. 
The People's Mill is not a rotary mill. 
The People's Mill obviates all the objections to the cast-iron ro¬ 
tary mill. 
The Peop c's Mill will grind all kinds of grain, coarse or Aim?, 
for feed. 
The People's Mill will grind Plaster, Bones, Salt, all kinds of 
Grain, Malt, Peas, Beans, Spices, &c., &c. 
The People's Mill largest size, requires about two-horse power. 
The People's Mill only requires about two hundred and fifty 
revolu'ions per minute. 
The People's Mill largest size, will grind from one hundred aud 
fifty to two hundred bushels of grain in 24 hours. 
The People's Mill may be renewed at the cost of the plates, 
which will be furnished at fifty cents each. 
The plates are made of hard iron, dressed or grooved on both 
sides, and the reciprocating motion keeps the grinder* sharp. 
There is no bolt to it, which, we think, experience has proved 
of no use on portable mills. The common sieve is sufficient for 
all ordinary family purposes. Three sizes— 
No. 1, a Hand Mill-price $20, No. 2 $30. No. 3 $40-
