EAGLE FAN ROLL. 
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 
cleaned in the most perfect maimer. 
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.

The Allen Patent Mower Triumphant. 
are now inquiring, “ What Mower 
shall I buy 1" That question has been satisfactorily an¬ 
swered during the past fortnight. 
At a trial at Bedford, Westchester County, in heavy, wet 
clover, and on rough, stony ground, the ALLEN MOWER 
performed better than any other in competition, being the only 
one which cut a smooth, even swath and spread it well; and it 
came out ofthe field unscathed, while others were badly broken 
or seriously injured. It has since been repeatedly tried in New- 
Jersey, on Long-Island, and other places, and worked admira¬ 
bly, whether in short, thin, fine grass, or in tail, thick and 
badly-lodged grass or clover. It also works well on a side hill, 
and on salt meadows. 
The draft of this Mower is uncommonly light. It is simple 
in construction, very strong, and not liable to get out of order, 
and when so, easily and cheaply repaired. 
It is the only Mower perfectly safe to the driver, the gearing 
being all covered; and he sits so firm in his seat, it is almost 
impossible to throw him out. In fact, this machine is better 
tilted for all kinds of work than any Mower yet manufactured. 
The following letter from one of the best known and largest 
farmers in New-Jersey, will testify to its merits; 
Jamesburg, N. J , June 22,1855. 
Mr. R. L. Allen,N ew-York: 
Sir—I made a trial yesterday with the new Mowing Machine 
I purchased of you, and do not hesitate to say that the improved 
[Allen] machine is the best I ever saw worked with—and I 
have seen a goodly number. I have a field of very heavy grass, 
and it had fallen down and lodged so I could not cut it with the 
old machine; and the grass was very wet, having rained nearly 
all day previous to my giving it a trial. I expected to see it 
choke up, but to my great surprise it choked up but very little, 
and that was owing to mismanagement. To be plain, Sir, I feel 
it my duty to inform you that the improved Mower works beau¬ 
tifully, and I am satisfied works nearly one-third lighter for the 
team than the Mower I used last year, and that was called one 
of the best in the market. JAMES BUCKELEW. 
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 ii the 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, $150 per Darrel, for any 
quantity over six barrels. 1 barrel, S2; 2barrels, $3 50; 3 bar¬ 
rels, $5 00; 5 barrels, $8 00. A pamphlet with information and 
directions will be sent gratis ana post-paid, to any one applying 
for the same.

not excepted), speaks of it in the highest terms as a manure for 
the kitchen garden, especially for potatoes. 
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully, 
Your obedient, servant,
