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 ol 
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, both in the 
rirst 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 V * 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 of the 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 tall, 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 
fitted 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, New-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 afield 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 BUCKELE W

T he attention of farmers is 
requested to a new FERTILIZER, prepared from the 
night soil collected from the sinks and privies of New-Yorh 
city, by the LODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY, and 
manufactured without any adulteration whatever, into a pow¬ 
erful manure—something like guano, hut less caustic and less 
exhausting to the soil. It is called 
T A F E U, 
from the Chinese word signifying prepared night soil, and is the 
only article of the kind ever manufactured in this country. It 
is warranted to be 95 per cent pure night soil; and from its 
ease of transportaf ion and application, and the small quantity 
required to produce the same result as heavier manures, it is 
the CHEAPEST MANURE ever offered for sale. For grass in 
ihefall, for winter grain, or for garden vegetables, it has no 
equal. 
From 300 to 600 lbs. per acre is all the dressing required for 
the poorest soils. A fair trial in competition with other ma¬ 
nures is respectfully asked. Packed in barrels of 240lbs., or bags 
of 125 lbs. Price $35 per tun, or \\ cts. perlb., delivered free of 
cartage on board of vessels or railroads in. the city of New-York.
