[December, 
THE BEST IS ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST. 
trODET’S LADY’S BOOK. 
THE STANDARD FDR THIRTY-ONE YEARS, 
J7'0)ioiinced by the J^ress of the United Slates, 
The Best Lady’s Magazine 
IN THE WORLD, AND THE CHEAPEST. 
THE LITERATURE 
is of that kind that can he read aloud in the family circle, 
and the clergy in immense numbers are subscribers l'or the 
THE BEST LADY WRITERS 
Id America contribute to its pages, and we have some that 
write l'or no other magazine. 
THE MUSIC 
is all original, and would cost 25 cents (the price of the 
Book) in the music stores; but most of it is copyrighted, and 
can not be obtained, except in “Godey.” 
OUR STEEL EXCRAVINGS. 
All efforts to rival us in this have ceased, and we now 
stand alone in this department, giving, as we do, many more 
and infinitely better engravings than are published in any 
other work. 
OUR FASHION PLATES. 
Our long experience.gives us greater advantages than are 
possessed by others, we give in the course of one year at 
least 
SIXTY FULL FIGURE FASHIONS, 
which is thirty-six more than any other magazine gives; and 
they are really the fashions, which others are not. We chal¬ 
lenge contradiction when we state that the fashions of other 
magazines have never been seen in the streets of Philadel¬ 
phia or Ncw-York, or in the drawing-rooms of either place. 
Godey's are the only reliable fashions. 
OUR WOOD ENGRAVINGS, 
of which we give twice or three times as many as any other 
magazine, are often mistaken for steel. They are so far su¬ 
perior to any others. 
IMITATIONS. 
Beware of them. Kemember that the Lady's Book is the 
original publication and the cheapest. If you take Godey, 
you want no other magazine. 
Everything that is useful or ornamental in a house can be 
found in Godey. 
DRAWING LESSONS. 
No other magazine gives them, and we have given enough 
to fill several large volumes. 
OUR RECEIPTS 
are such as can lie found nowhere else. Cooking in all its 
variety—Confectionery—the Nursery— the Toilet—the Laun¬ 
dry—the Kitchen. Receipts upon all subjects arc to be found 
in the the pages of the Lady's Book. AYe originally started 
this department and have peculiar facilities for making it 
most perfect. This department alone is Worth the price of the 
Book. 
COLORED ENGRAVINGS 
ef Knitting, Netting, or some other useful branch of ladies’ 
work are given in every number. 
LADIES ’ WORK TABLE.

KEYSTONE 
COEH STALK CUTTER AllD GRINDER. 
SELL YOUR HAY AND FEED YOUR STALKS. 
THE KEYSTONE CUTTER AND GRINDER prepares tlic 
stalks, so that they will neither injure the mouth or stomach 
of the animals eating them. 
It is very well known to persons at all conversant with the 
subject, that the hard part of corn stalks, cut long or short, 
whether cut square or oblique, will either not be eaten, or if 
they are eaten, will by the manner in which the sharp cor- 
nersof the outside shell is presented to the roof of the mouth, 
make the month sore, or if taken into the stomach whole, 
do great injury, and sometimes produce death. 
The aim of tiiis machine is to obviate these objections by 
cutting the stalk square oil' of suitable length, and then tear¬ 
ing it in pieces or grinding it, making it in the best possible 
form that this valuable fodder can have. In addition to this, 
from the length the feed is cut and the double operation it 
goes through, the machine cuts with great rapidity, and with 
but very little power expended. 
It will cut and grind-five bushels a minute when fed up to 
its capacity, and you can cut as slow as you please. There 
are other machines out that pretend to cut and crush, but it 
is very well known ttiat all the crushing they do is the small 
pressure the stalks get in going through the feed rollers, 
which is no more than has been done by other machines 
from time Immemorial. This machine gives the same pres¬ 
sure in tlie feed rollers, ents in the same way, and when cut 
is completely ground to pieces between two iron cylinders, 
provided with teeth, and running in together at different 
velocities. 
Price $35 and $75. Sold at the

GUANO. 
. We would call tlie attention of Guano Dealers, Planters, 
and Farmers, to the article which we have on hand and for 
sale at 40 per cent less than Peruvian guano. 
which we claim to he superior to any Guano or fertilizer 
ever imported or manufactured in this country. 
This Guano is Imported by 
WM. II. WEBB, 
OF NEW-YORK, FROM 
BAKER’S AND JARVIS’ ISLANDS, IN THE 
SOUTH PACIFIC OCEAN. 
Sold genuine and pure as imported hv the cargo, or at re¬ 
tail by JOHN B. SARDY, Genera] Agent, 
No. 58 South-st., cor. of Wall-st.. 
New-York. 
It lias been satisfactorily tested by many of onr prominent 
Farmers, and dualized by the most eminent and popular 
Agricultural Chemists, and found to contain (as will be seen 
bv onr circular) a large percentage of 
BONE PHOSPHATE OF LIME AND PHOSPHORIC ACID, 
and other animal organic matter yielding ammonia sufficient 
-to produce immediate abundant crops, besides substantially 
enriching the soil. It can be freely used without danger o'f 
burning the seed or plant, by coming in contact wllh it, as 
is the case with some other fertilizers; retaining a great de¬ 
gree of moisture, it causes tlie plant to grow in a healthy con 
ilition, and as experience has proved. 
FREE OF INSECTS. 
For orders In any Quantity, (Which will be promptly at¬ 
tended to,) or pamphlets containing full particulars of anal¬ 
ysis and tests of Farmers, apply as above.
