EARTH ALMOND—SOUCHET—CHUFA. 
(Cyperus escutentus.) 
These edible roots, which were recently introduced from the 
south of France, have now been proved to be of great value in 
all parts of our country. In Fi ance they are eaten just as we 
use pea-nuts. They are very sweet and pleasant, mu h liked 
by children, and sought after with avidity by hogs and otlie- 
animals. An orgeat, (drink) of very pleasant flavor is there ma 
nufactured from them, and also an oil is extracted from them. 
They should be planted early in Spring, in light and rnoisi soils 
well pulverized, in drills fifteen .inches apart and about three 
inches in the row. They need but little hoeing, as they spread 
ami cover the ground. The produce is very great, being usu¬ 
ally three or four hundred for one, and the roots are formed in 
such masses that they are readily collected. The crop should 
be gathered before the ground freezes, and stored in cellar for 
Winter use. There is probably no root that can be grown so 
profitably for a hog pasture, the hogs to he turned in'o it in 
September or October. 
They will be-furnished at $1 per lb., or 25 c<s. per 100 roots : 
For $1, I will send 200 roots by mail, post-paid.

Marblehead ©ruimhead. 
This Cabbage is by far the most popular kind sold in Boston 
Market. It originated in Marblehead, Mass., and holds the 
same rank among cabbages, as tlie Hubbard squash among 
squashes, being distinguished for its reliability for setting a 
symetrical head remarkably hard and heavy. It is early, very 
fine grained, and sweet, with a stump, when properly cultivat¬ 
ed. of but one to two inches in length. Under fair cabbage 
culture ninety-five per cent will set good heads to the acre; 
under good culture, frequently every plant on an acre will set a 
marketable head. A package of the best variety of this cab¬ 
bage, the Stone-Mason, containing seed more than sufficient to 
raise a Winter’s sunpiv for one family, forwarded post-paid to 
any part of the United States, California and Oregon excepted, 
for 25 cts. One pound of seed forwarded, post-paid, on i lie re¬ 
ceipt of SI.00, or for $3.00 to parties paying their own freight, 
drifthis Cabbage does not prove itself tube what I recommend 
it, the money will be returned, as I aim to introduce no product 
new to the public that will not be a full return for the money* 
they invest. I will give five dollars to any person for one ounce of 
seed of any Drumhead Cabbage, that will excel this variety in 
the above named traits. Any person desiring to procure a 
package of the Marblehead Mammoth Drumhead Cabbage,can 
obtain it at the same price. This is the largest cabbage m the 
world averaging, as grown by Marblehead farmers, 30 lbs. per 
head by the acre, and sometimes reaching 60 lbs. ahead, and 
measuring nearly six feet around the solid head.

Dwarf SIb'oosm Com Seed. 
The undersigned offers a very desirable variety of Dwarf 
Broom Corn Seed for sale, the stalks of which, on an average, 
are not more than eighteen inches to two feet high to the brush, 
and the brush is of about the same length The whole plant 
being only 3 to 4 feet high. The broom is far superior to the 
old tall variety, being much finer in fibre and much more elas¬ 
tic. It will yield fully twice the amount of brooms from an acre of 
land than the old tall variety does. On account of its dwarf habit 
it bears closer planting, and will resist the severest storm, and is 
never blown down. The brush is wrapped up about half ies 
length in the top leaf, which obviates it from bending down, 
and consequently keeps the broom straight. This Dwarf variety 
will prove indispensible to all cultivating this valuable crop. 
Price 15 cents per ounce package, or $2 per lb. Sent by mail 
post-paid. Address E. IL GOOD,

Aga'iCMalMral UmpSesMeaafs ! ! 
The above machine is the invention of T. B. Rogers, of 
Wethersfield, Conn , (a p’ace celebrated as <i great Seed-grow¬ 
ing town ) and where large numbers of loot crops arc cultivat¬ 
ed. It is there extensively in use. 
It was Aw rded the Highest Premiaras at the 
Connecticut State and Hartford County Fairs. 
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. 
Just the implement which farmers and market gardeners have 
long needed. Every kind and size of seed is sown. Even pars¬ 
nip seeds which have baffled every machine hitherto used, are 
scattered by Mr. Rogers’ implement with just as much preci¬ 
sion and evenness, as any other Seed.— Hotncslcad Agricultural 
paper. 
The labor in working is just about equal to trundling an 
empty wheelbarrow.— Christian Secretary. 
It is equally well adapted to large or small seed of regular or 
irregular form. It sows beans with perfect, regularity, and can 
be changed in an instant for the sowing of cabbage, mustard, or 
any other seed. Nothing comes amiss to this implement.. It 
makes the drill in the soil, deposits the seeds, covers them, 
and rolls the surface, all ns it goes along. It is perfect; and 
all judges present at the trial, agree upon this point.— 
Hartford Times 
Its great advantages are. that it lays the seed with perfect re¬ 
gularity, never crowding any, nor leavjngblank spaces, and that 
no seed can by any means fall from it when it is not in motion- 
Hartford Courant. 
It sows as fast as a man can walk.— Homestead Agricultural 
paper. 
It does better work, ar.d faster, than seed drills that sell at 
double its price. 
For particulars send for a circular. Dealers supplied at the 
usual discount. Their orders sin uld be forwarded immediate¬ 
ly, as the supply may he short this season. No implement 
dealer should allow any time to pass, without, ordering from 
12 to 500, according to the largeness of his market. Price $8.

The best of all modern inventions is “Share’s Coulter Har¬ 
row, Pulverizer and Grain Coverer,” which was used last sea¬ 
son with grand success by very many of the best, farmers in this 
country, and pronounced Excelsior. The price is only $15, and 
it. weighs 185 lbs., and draws lighter than a common harrow. 
Farmers having •* Coj n Stubble,” or Fall plowed land of any

The experience of the past year has tested the value of the 
above invention, and proved that it is the Mill of the age., and 
best entitled to public confidence ; that it is bound to supersede 
those now in use, on account of its intrinsic worth.

and for grinding middlings, no other null can compare with it.
