EAGLE FAN MII.lv. 
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, Sic., 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 a#> 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, botli in the 
first and second cleaning, faster and better than any others now 
in use. 
Filth—The cheapness and durability of its construction.

FARMERS AND GARDENERS WHO 
-®- can not get manure enough, will find a cheap and poweiful 
substitute in the IMPROVED POUDRETTE made,by 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 the cheapest and best manure in the world. It causes 
plants to come up quicker, to grow faster, to yield ^heavier and 
riDen 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 50 per Darrel, for any

KIN’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 
nearly ail giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable^ but also simple anu 
easily managed. It saves not only the hard work of raking, but 
lays the grain 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.
