age is about $4 75. The principal supplies come from this

and quite common.

LITTLE GIANT 
CORN AND COB MILL. 
PATENTED 1854. 
THIS MILL has doubtless attained a more 
, sudden celebrity for doing its work with rapidity and ease, 
than any other article of labor-saving machinery ever presented 
to the Agricultural world; the merit of which consists chiefly 
in the peculiar arrangement of first breaking, then crushing and 
crumbling the cob at the center of the mill. Thus lessening the 
strain upon both mill and team, the chief work of crushing be¬ 
ing thrown upon the central parts of the judicious application 
of leverage power. 
For portability, simplicity of construction, and convenience of 
use, the LITTLE GIANT has no equal. It weighs from three 
to five hundred pounds, according to size, and can be put in ope¬ 
ration by the farmer in twenty minutes, without expense or 
mechanical aid. 
These MILLS are guaranteed in the most positive manner 
against breakage or derangement, and warranted to grind feed 
from ear corn, and grits or fine hominy from shelled corn, with a 
degree of ease and convenience for farm purposes never attained 
before. 
Will grind from 10 to 15 bushels per hour, according to degree 
of fineness, and can be worked advantageously with one or two 
horses.

I'JAYY’S DEVON HERD BOOK. 
NOW READY, 
A large supply of both 1st and 2d Volumes bound in one book, 
and containing all the subject connected with the Devon records 
of both England and America up to the present time ; also as a 
frontispiece the beautilul engraving of the celebrated picture 
known as the “ Quartly Testimonial,” which is a full length 
portrait of Mr. Francis Quartly, now living, at 91 years of age. 
It is also illustrated with two animals, prize winners in England. 
Price $100, and can be had by inclosing the amount to B. P. 
Johnson, Cor. Sec. of N. Y. State Society, Albany, N. Y.; Lu¬ 
ther Tucker, Ed. of Country Gentleman, Albany, N Y.; Sand- 
ford Howard, Boston, Mass.; D. D. T. Moore, Ed. Wool Grower

er, Philadelphia, Pa.; Lee & Redmonds, Eds. Southern Cultiva¬ 
tor, Augusta, Ga.; and Wm. McDougall, Ed. Canadian Agl., 
Toronto, Canada. It gives me pleasure to state that Mr. Davy 
has solicited Mr. S. Howard, of Boston Cultivator, to collect 
pedigrees and illustrations in this country, for the 3d volume, 
and has authorized Mr. H. to obtain information as to any and 
all mistakes which may have been made as to the recording of 
American animals in Davy’s 2d volume, and such corrections 
will be made in the 3d volume. 
The plan proposed is, that the pedigrees and illustrations col¬ 
lected by Mr. Howard, as the Editor in America, shall be for¬ 
warded to Mr. Davy, and a copy of those collected by Mr. Davy 
will be sent to Mr. Howard. The whole matter will be published 
in America for our use, and also in England for their use; by 
which means an American and English’Devon Herd Book will 
be united, and the price reasonable, as the expense of English 
printing and duties will be saved. This concert of action has 
been brought about by Mr. Davy’s good feeling and liberality 
towards this country; and I am only the instrument through 
which Mr. Davy acts, and from this time forth Mr Howard will 
receive all communications on the subject, as will appear by 
reference to his advertisement. 
All editors who will give the above three insertions will re¬ 
ceive a copy of the 1st, 2d, and 3d volumes
