pared to furnish'on the most reasonable terms, and in the best

A NEW PATENT, 
Self-iesiiaag Frc§ca*ve Iar e 
The subscriber is now prepared to offer to the public what 
has so long been needed, viz : a preserve can or jar that will 
give certxan indication whether tire fruit contained therein lias 
been properly prepared, and can be depended on to keep, before 
the same can have time to ferment and thus ruin the contents, 
for both fruit and sugar in such cases are wasted. 
It is almost incredible the amount of materials lost, either by 
jars constructed on wrong principles, or a want of care in doing 
up the fruit, and which heretofore could not be delected in 
time to remedy the difficulty.

The Air Pressure Churn. 
The Air Pressure Churn has been proved by some of the best 
dairymen in the country to be the only perfect churn in exist¬ 
ence. It has no dashers, but works by the aid of condensed 
air; is simple, durable, and quick working, and warranted to 
make more butter than any other churn, invariably of the best 
quality. 
From the New-York Century. 
“ The Air-Pressure Churn secures the greatest possible ra¬ 
pidity of process, with the utmost evenness of grain. It, fur¬ 
thermore, gains seven per cent, more butter, out of the same 
quantity of milk or cream, than the old-fashioned machines. 
In short, it makes an article more nearly perfect than any in¬ 
strument now known. The grand secret of its success con¬ 
sists in bringing every particle of the milk or cream to the equal 
action of the air, and to that air in a state of condensation .” 
Entire satisfaction given or the money returned.

BABBITT’S SOAP. 
PRICE PER BOX $5. 
Mr, B. T. BABBITT, the well known Saleratus manufactu¬ 
rer, is bringing out a new and useful article of 
80AP 9 
Put up inboxes of 60 pounds each in 1-pound bars, price $5 
per box. This Soap is rapidly taking the place of all other Soaps 
wherever introduced. One pound will go as far as 3 pounds of 
ordinary family Soap. It will wash in either hard or salt water ; 
it does not injure the fabric— on the contrary.it preserves it and 
fixes the colors. It will remove paint, grease, and stains of all 
kinds. But little labor is required where this Soap is used, Di¬ 
rections sent in each box for making ONE POUND OF THE 
ABOVE SOAP INTO THREE GALLONS OF HANDSOME 
SOFT SOAP. Send for a box and give it a trial. If you do not 
want a whole box yourself, get your neighbors to join you, and 
divide it. Believing that no family who lias once used this Soap 
will ever he without it, and being desirous to have its merits 
widely known, I have made arrangements with the proprietors 
of the following papers (many of whom have tried the Soap and 
know its value), by which I am able for the present to offer to 
any person, remitting to me $5 on any solvent bank in the United 
States, one box of the above soap, and a receipt for one year’s 
subscription to either of the following New-York papers, viz.: 
American Agriculturist, The Examiner. 
The Weekly Tribune, The Christian Advocate, 
The Weekly Day Book, The Scottish American Journal, 
The Weekly Times, Hankins’ Family Pictorial, 
The Weekly Sun, United States Journal, 
The Century, The Independent. 
Or, if preferred, I will send The Semi-Weekly Tribune six 
months, or the Daily Tribune, Times, or Sun two months. 
Please he particular and give full directions for shipping the 
goods. Also, give the name of your Post-Office, with the State 
and County in which you reside. Address 
B. T. BABBITT, 
Nos. 61. 66, 68, 70, 72, and 74 Washington-st., New-York. 
P. S. I will send the Soap without paper on receipt of $4 20. 
Housekeepers Take Notice. 
The subscriber begs to warn you against the gross imposition 
that is being practiced upon the unsuspecting. Four years 
have elapsed gince .Tames Pyle first brought his 
DIETETIC SALERATUS 
before the public. The immense demand that has since arisen 
for it, the testimony of over two hundred thousand intelligent 
families, and the approval of the best chemists in America, all 
combine to substantiate the inventor’s claims, viz : that it is 
the only strictly wholesome and effectual Saleratus in use. 
It was put up in pink or red papers to distinguish it from all 
others ; hut of late all tlio Saleratus makers in the country are 
putting up their goods in the same style, copying the directions, 
with recommendations that theirs is the same in purity ns 
Pyle’s genuine Dietetic, when in fact it is entirely different’ In 
most, cases theirs contains a slow poison. Your safest plan 
will be to shun every thing done up in ted papers that does not 
bear the name of 
“JAMES PYLE, 315 Washing-ton-street, New-York.”

ITTAILflARf ISEE§ (Apis Ligurtica.) 
To all American Bee-Keepers— Greitmq: In consequence 
of an unwarrantable interference by others in my legitimate 
business, I make the following statement: In tlie advertise¬ 
ment of the June Agriculturist, there was a “ Caution ” aimed 
directly at the purity of my Bees. I challenged the owner 
through the N. Y. City papers to place his bees along side of 
mine in the office of the Agriculturist, conceeding to him the 
appointment of all and as many 'judges as pleased him. He de¬ 
clined the test. Reader, did I or did I not offer fair? My bees 
were examined bv a number of truly scient ific Bee-keepers, (in¬ 
cluding M. Quinby,) and other gentlemen, all of whom pro¬ 
nounced them pure. 
At my own cost I visited Europe, selected the Bees and re¬ 
turned with as pure as there is in the world. Another partv, 
at the expense of the U. S., likewise went. The Bees for the 
Patent Office arrived dead—of those purchased on his private 
account, a portion arrived safely. It now appears that I, a poor 
man, shall not be allowed to sell my Bees without his permis¬ 
sion—(see June Agriculturist.) “ Confer a, favor by demanding to 
see a bill of sale from me." Mr. P. offered me $5 for each of 
my orders when the money was paid. Generous, is it not ? I 
answered not, content with my own business, but which has 
been materially injured since the said “Caution” was pub¬ 
lished. I may find a remedy hereafter for this most cruel and 
unjust attack. I now say to you, Mr Editor, as well as to your 
readers—that I know my Bees to be as pure as there are in Eu¬ 
rope. I am now hatching most beautiful Queens daily at my 
new isolated Apiary, (no common Bees within one mile,) and 
only await, before commencing my deliveries, the certainty of 
their impregnation by Italian drones. Those on my hooks will 
please hear with me a short time. Those who have ordered and 
are willing to take the risk of pure impregnation can have the 
Queens, &o., immediately. Gentlemen sending 12 cts. to pay 
postage, will receive a few Bees as a sample by mail. Queens, 
&c., sent by express for $10. 
Here are a few words from the gentleman who brought over 
from Europe a portion of Mr. Parson’s Bees, and who is di¬ 
rectly from the Alps, “ where no other race is found ” “ This 
may certify that I have examined the Italian Bees of Mr. Ken¬ 
nedy, which he procured of Mr. P. J. Mahan, and pronounce 
them pure , and equal to any imported nr owned by Mr S. B. 
Parsons. Signed. A. Bodmer, New-York, June 3. I860 ” Inter¬ 
ested parties will send for a circular containing full, convinc¬ 
ing and satisfactory evidence of the purity of my Bees. My 
Bees were the first landed in America. Now, Bee-keepers, 
here is part of my evidence—shall I or shall 1 not be remuner¬ 
ated for my great expenditure in this matter ?

GUANO. 
We would call the attention of Guano Dealers, Planters, and 
Farmers to the article which we have on hand and for sale at 
FORTY PER CENT LESS THAN PERUVIAN GUANO 
and which we claim to be superior to any Guano or fertilizer 
ever imported or manufactured in this country. This Guano is 
imported by WM. H. WEBB, of New-York, from Jarvis’ & Ba¬ 
ker’s Islands, in the “South Pacific Ocean.” and is sold genu¬ 
ine and pure as imported. It has been satisfactorily tested by 
many of our prominent Farmers, and analyzed by the most em¬ 
inent and popular Agricultural Chemists, and found to contain 
(as will be seen by our circulars) a large per centage of Bone 
Phosphate of Lime and Phosphoric Acid , and other animal organ¬ 
ic matter, yielding ammonia sufficient to produce immediate 
abundant crops, besides substantially enriching the soil. It can 
be freely used without danger of burning the seed or plant by 
coming in contact with it, as is the case with some other ferti¬ 
lizers; retaining a great degree of moisture, it causes the plant 
to grow in a healthy condition, and as experience has proved, 
free of insects. For orders in any quantity, (which will be 
promptly attended to,) or pamphlets containing full particulars 
of analyses and tests of farmers, apply to
