F armers and gardeners who 
can not get manure enough, will find a cheap and powerful 
substitute in the IMPROVED POUDRETTE madefy.the sub¬ 
scribers. The small quantity used, the ease with which it is 
applied, and the powerful stimulus it gives to vegetation, ren¬ 
ders it 1 he cheapest and best manure in the world. It causes 
plants to come up quicker, to grow faster, to yield ^heavier and 
ripen earlier than any other manure in the world, and unlike 
other fertilizers, it can be brought in direct contact with the 
plant. Three dollars’worth is sufficient to manure an acre of 
corn. Price, delivered free of cartage or (package on board of 
vessel or railroad in New-York city, $1 5U per barrel, for any 
quantity over six barrels. 1 barrel, $2; 2barrels, $3 50; 3 bar¬ 
rels, $500; 5 barrels, SO 00. A pamphlet with information and 
directions will be sent gratis anu post-paid, to any one applying 
for the same.

EAGLE FAN MILE. 
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 s<Jw 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—Funs built on ibis 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.

AliLEM’S PATENT MOWER, 
THE MOST PERFECT MACHINE YET INVENTED. 
^pHIS MACHINE was patented in 1852, and has been used by a large number of intel- 
]■ u 1 i“ eEt farmers for twc.seasons; and so superior has it proved itself over all others, that it is now greatly preferred wherever 
This superiority consists: 
J st - lu perfectly cutting any kind of grass, whether fine or coarse, lodged or standing, and Salt Meadows as well as upland. 
i , vin * to the form of the knife and its rasp patent, it does not clog even in the finest grass. . 
3d. The gearing being hung on horizontal shafts and justly balanced, enables the mower to run perfectly true in a straight or 
curved line and with one-third less draught than any other yet made. It also runs with much less noise, and with no jerking 
motion, in consequence of the knife being operated by a wheel instead of a crank. The knife can he taken off or put on in a moment, 
without the necessity of passing it through the arms of the driving-wheel. This is a very great convenience, and. obviates a seri¬ 
ous objection to Mowing Machines. 
i ViV T, he superior gearing enables the knife to play with sufficient rapidity to do its work well, at a speed of not over two and a 
half to three miles per hour. Most other Mowers require the team to walk at the rate of four miles per hour, which is very dis¬ 
tressing to the horses. 
5th. A smaller wheel is attached to this Mower, by a spring axle, which runs parallel with the driving-wheel. This enables 
t heel • UIle w ^ en ^ irown out of gear, to be driven over the field or along the road as readily as if hung on a pair of wagon- 
6 th. A reaping-hoard can be attached when required, thus making it a Reaper or Mower, as desired. 
7th. This Mower is made in the most perfect manner, and is guaranteed to give satisfaction. 
WARRANTY. 
ALLEN’S MOWER is warranted to cut and spread from ten to fifteen acres per day, in a workmanlike manner, with a good 
pairot horses and driver. One day’s trial is allowed for the Mower, and in case any thing proves defective within this time, due 
notice must be given to me, and time allowed to send a person to repair it. If it does not work after this, and the fault is in 
the machine, it will be taken back and the money paid for it refunded, or a perfect Mower will be given in its place, at the option 
of the purchases. 
With the Reaper Attachment, it is warranied to cut from twelve to eighteen acres of grain per day, with a good pair of horses, 
driver and raker.
