AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
SITUATION ON A FARM WANTED.— 
A YOUNG MAN, German l*y birth, of respectoble parent¬ 
age, well educated, and who has been engaged in farming for 
some years already, in this and his native country, wishes to 
find a situation with an intelligent, scientific farmer, in the 
vicinity of New-York preferred, where ample opportunity, prac¬ 
tically and theoretically, is afforded to him, to cultivate and 
perfect his knowledge of agriculture and keeping of stock. 
He is able and willing to work, and, although he would like to 
receive the fair value of his labor, is not especially anxious to 
get high wages, the main object in view being to secure a place 
where he can acquire a thorough knowledge of his calling, and 
where he will be well treated. 
If such a situation is obtained by him, his employer shall have 
no occasion to regret the engagement. Address W. L., care of 
Editors of Agriculturist. 79—8‘2nll78

SALE OF FIST-CLASS SHORT-HORNED CATTLE,

Mr. STRAFFORD has the honor to announce to the Agricul¬ 
tural world, that he has received instructions from JOHN S. 
TONQUERAY, Esq., to sell by auction, without any reserve,

tire and far-famed Herd of SHORT-HORNED CATTLE : con¬ 
sisting of about 100 head of Bulls, Cows and Heifers, which 
have been purchased and bred with great care and attention, 
from the most celebrated herds, no expense having been spared 
in the original selection of Cows and Heifers of the highest 
breeding and character, to which the following first-class Bulls 
have been used, viz., Balco (9918), Fifth Duke of York (10168), 
Earl of Derby (10177), the renowned Duke of Glo’ster (11382), 
and other very superior animals. Most of the young slock are 
by the above-named Bulls ; and the Cows and Heifers are prin¬ 
cipally served by “ Duke of Cambridge,” a son of Grand Duke 
(10284), and from “ Cambridge Rose 7th,” a Cow bred at Kirk- 
leavington.

R HODES’ FEVER AND AGUE CURE. 
OR, NATURE’S INFALLIBLE SPECIFIC, 
For the Prevention and Cure of Intermittent and Remittent 
Fevers, Fever and Ague, Chills and Fever, Dumb Ague. Gen¬ 
eral Debility, Night Sweats, and all other forms of disease 
which have a common oi igin in Malaria or Miasma. This subtle 
atmospheric poison which at certain seasons is unavoidably in¬ 
haled at eveiy breath, is the same in character wherever it ex¬ 
ists—North, South, East or West—and will every where yield to 
this newly discovered antidote, which is claimed to' be the 
Greatest Discovery in Medicine ever made. 
This specific is so harmless that it may be taken by persons of 
every age, sex or condition and it will not substitute for one dis¬ 
ease others still worse, as is too often the result in the treat¬ 
ment by Quinine, Mercury, Arsenic, and olher poisonous or 
deleterious drugs, not a particle of any of which is admitted into 
this preparation. 
The proprietor distinctly claims these extraordinary results 
from the use of this NATURAL ANTIDOTE TO MALARIA. 
It will entirely protect any resident or traveler even in the 
most sickly or swampy localities, from any Ague, or Bilious dis¬ 
ease whatever, or any injury from constantly inhaling Malaria 
or Miasma. 
It will constantly check the Ague in persons who have suffered 
for any length of time, from one day to twenty years, so that they 
needuever have another chill, by continuing its use according to 
directions. 
It will immediately relieve all distressing results ofBillious 
or Ague diseases, such as general debility, night sweats, &c. 
The patent at once begins to recover appetite and strength, 
and continues until a permanent and radical cure is effected. 
Finally, its use will banish Fever and Ague from families and 
all classes. Farmers and all laboring men by adopting it as a 
preventive will be free from Ague or Billious attacks in that 
season of the year which, while it is the most sickly, is the most 
valuable one to them. 
One or two bottles will answer for ordinary cases, some may 
require more. 
Directions printed in German, French and Spanish, accompany 
each bottle. 
Price one Dollar. Liberal discounts made to the trade. 
Trade circulars forwarded on application, and the article will 
be consigned on liberal terms to responsible parties in every sec¬ 
tion of the country. JAS. A. RHODES, Proprietor,

nearly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable, but also simple and

lays the grain in su ch good order as to save at least another 
hand in binding.
