from, and containing all tne good qualities which the most im¬ 
proved cultivation for over fourteen years has conferred on the 
Croton Point Vineyards, are offered to the public. Those who

good fruit can be obtained every year, in most of the Northern, 
all the Middle, Western and Southern States.

directs, he will, when they commence bearing, furnish ;he own¬ 
er wit h one of his Vinedressers, whom he has instructed in his

A TKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER and 
MOWER.—Three seasons’ use of this ingenious, beauti¬ 
ful, and yet simple Machine, furnish convincing proof of piacti- 
cal worth. THREE HUNDRED, scattered into 19 different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
neurly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable, but also simple and 
easily managed. It saves not only the hard work of raking, but 
lays the gram in su ch good order as to save at least another 
hand in binding. 
IT IS WARRANTED TO BE A GOOD, DURABLE, 
SELF-RAKING REAPER, and I have also succeeded in at¬ 
taching a mowing bar, so that I also WARRANT IT AS A 
MOWER.

F armers attention.— Basket wn- 
lows are imported in large quantities from Europe, and yet 
the market is not supplied. 
The Willows can be grown very profitably in this country; it 
is believed that more than one hundred dollars per acre profit, 
can be realized with proper attention. 
WHY NOT TRY ITT 
Cuttings can be had in any quantity upon early application to 
the subscriber, and instructions for planting &c. 
R. L. ALLEN, 189 and 191 Water-st. 
Hitherto the labor of of peeling willows by hand has been the 
great objection to their cultivation, but now a machine bas been 
perfected, capable of doing the work of twenty men. and doing it 
well. 79—tf 
EAGLE FAN MILL. 
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, See., 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. 
OR SALE—A VALUBLE FARM, situ- 
ated in Wallingford, New-Haven County, Conn., within
