AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST 
IMPROVED UNLOADING IIA V FORM. 
This is a great labor-saving imple¬ 
ment, in a situation where labor is 
most, oppressive, and at a time when 
it is most difficult to be procured. It 
is intended for unloading hay from a 
wagon upon a scaffold or into a mow. 
This is generally done in the sultriest 
weather, in a dose barn, when the 
dust from the hay and the oppressive 
heat are almost stifling, and when the 
team and hands connected witli it can 
be spared with least convenience. By 
the use of this simple and economical 
instrument, the same team that draws 
the load into the barn, or any super¬ 
numerary horse at hand, may unload a 
tun of hay in a few moments, without 
any effort at pitching. 
The fork, as represented by the cut, 
is suspended from the roof directly 
over the load, by a tackle and fall, or 
by a single pulley and rope, the draw¬ 
ing end of which passes through a pul¬ 
ley on a level with the horse, to enable 
him to lay out his strength to advan¬ 
tage. The iron teeth are pressed into 
the hay, and the horse at a word, 
draws up some 400 to GOO pounds to 
the required height, when a light cord, 
attached to the fork and passing over 
another pulley suspended in the proper 
direction, in the hands of one of the 
operators swings it horizontally over 
the place to be deposited, and the sud 
den jerk of a strong twine, removes 
the ketch, and the forkful drops where required. A few forksfuls remove the 'entire load, 
when the men and team, refreshed by their few moments of rest, are off for another load.

D AVY’S DEVON HERD BOOK. 
NOW KEADY, 
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-

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 dv 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,

LITTLE GIANT 
CORN AND COB MILL. 
PATENTED 1854. 
T HIS 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.

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 sow only such grain as contains the germ of 
growth. 
Third—Smaller seed, such as grass and clover seed, are 
cleaued 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 
m use. 
Fifth—The cheapness and durability of its construction.
