AMERICAN EDITION. 
AVY’S HERD BOOK 
OF 
DEVON CATTLE. 
Edited by Ambrose Steveiis. 
C. M. SAXTON & CO., 152 Fulton-st., New-York, propose to 
reprint, from the English Edition, 
“DAVY’S DEVON HERD BOOK.’’ 
This work was published in England at $2 75, and would cost 
here, if imported, $3 50. It is comprised in two volumes, the 
first of which is not now to be obtained, being out of print. 
It will be published at a price not exceeding $1. 
The publishers do not propose this undertaking for pecuniary 
advantage to themselves, as the cost will equal the price of the 
book; but as they confine their attention to the publication and 
sale of Agricultural Books, and this work being in their line, 
they wish to meet the wants of the public in tnis respect. It 
contains the prdigrees of some thousands of Devon cattle, both 
of England and America. 
The pedigrees of the American Herds contained in the Eng¬ 
lish edition will be corrected and extended, where the editor 
has, from knowledge, the means, or where breeders and owners 
will furnish the means to do so. 
An Appendix will be added, containing authentic pedigrees of 
American Devon Cattle, not included in the English Edition. 
To this end, -we request the co-operation of breeders and own¬ 
ers, by forwarding their pedigrees immediately, postage paid, to 
C. M. SAXTON, & CO., New-York. Those who will furnish 
Cuts of Portraits of their Animals, and pay the cost of paper and 
printing, can have them inserted. 
THIS WORK IS INDISPENSABLE 
to every breeder of Devon Cattle in America, and must be pos¬ 
sessed by them if they would understandingly pursue their busi¬ 
ness. 
Breeders can afford to take a large number of copies to dis¬ 
tribute to their customers and the public, as advertisements of 
their herds. 
The American edition will be edited by the Hon. Ambrose 
Stevens, editor of “ Youatt and Martin on Cattle,” “ Youatt and 
Martin on the Hogg,” &c. 
Subscribers will forward their names to the undersigned. 
C. M. SAXTON & CO.,

I SABELLA AND CATAWBA GRAPE 
VINES, of proper age for forming Vineyards, cultivated 
from, and containing all the good qualities which the most im¬ 
proved cultivation ior over fourteen years has conferred on the 
Croton Point Vineyards, are offered to the public. Those who 
may purchase will receive such instructions for four years, as 
will enable them to cultivate the Grape with entire success, pro¬ 
vided their locality is not too far north. All communications 
addressed to R. T. UNDERHILL, M. D., New-York, or Cro¬ 
ton Point, Westchester County, N. Y., will receive attention. 
The additional experience of two past seasons, give him full as¬ 
surance that by improved cultivation, pruning, &c., a crop of 
good fruit can be obtained every year, in most of the Northern, 
all the Middle, Western and Southern States. 
N. B.—To those who take sufficient to plant six acres, as he 
directs, be will, when they commence bearing, furnish the own¬ 
er with one of his Vinedressers, whom he has instructed in his 
mode of cultivation, and he will do all the labor of the vineyard, 
and insure the most perfect success. The only charge, a reason¬ 
able compensation for the labor. R. T. U.

IEAGFE FAN MIFF. 
T he best and cheapest grain 
AND SEED SEPARATOR EVER OFFERED 
IN THIS MARKET. 
The superiority of this Fan consists 
First—In cleaning without a screen, by separating the impu¬ 
rities, such as chess, cockle, smut, &c.. by the blast alone, con¬ 
sequently saving the loss of the small sound kernels of wheat 
which must go through a screen. 
Second—An arrangement by which a part of the sound and 
perfect grains are separated from the rest for seeding, leaving 
the balance in a good marketable condition, so that the 
farmer need sow only such grain as contains the germ of 
growth. 
Third—Smaller seed, such as grass and clover seed, are 
cleaned in the most perfect manner. 
Fourth—Fans built on this plan will clean grain, both in the 
first and second cleaning, faster and better than any others now 
in use. 
Fifth—The cheapness and durability of its construction. 
R. L. ALLEN, 189 and 191 Water-st., New-York. 
F or sale—a valuble farm, situ- 
ated in Wallingford, New-Haven County, Conn., within 
half a mile of the center of the village. Said farm contains 70 
acres, suitably divided into wood, pasture, meadow and plow

SITUATION ON A FARM WANTED.— 
A YOUNG MAN, German by birth, of respectable 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 lie 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—82nll78

C. B. DeBURG has the pleasure of announcing to his former 
patrons, and to other farmers who may wish to improve their

superior quality of Sulphate of Ammonia, in large quantities, 
and he is now prepared to furnish 
C. B. BeBURG’S SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME, 
Highly charged with AMMONIA, which is now acknowledged 
to be the most valuable ingredient in Peruvian Guano and other

perphosphate is warranted to contain 
SEVENTEEN PER CENT OF AMMONIA.
