Iron-Clad Milk Can. 
The above cut represents the Side Handle of this Can, 
which is the best in use. It is made of the very best wrought 
and malleable iron , tinned , which makes it proof against 
breaking under any circumstances. It sets closer to the 
Can than any other handle. The centre being raised above 
the handle part,it furnishes the hoisting - and dumping socket, 
and presents a perfectly smooth surface, which prevents 
bruising other Cans, setting near , in transportation; and 
the handle is arranged so as to drop against a piece of rubber, 
which does away with all noise in transporting;©!* handling 
the Can. 
Being made of Wrought Iron, they can be shaped to any 
sized Can without springing the tin.

PULVERIZING 
HARROW? 
The best in the world. See what responsible parties, who 
have used them, say: 
From Cornell University. — “We would advise every 
farmer to procure one without delay. It will amply repay 
any one for the outlay in the first season of its use.” 
E. G. Putnam, Business Manager. 
From Amherst College.—" The Harrow lias been thor¬ 
oughly tried. We are more than satisfied with it.” 
Levi Stockbridge, Prof, of Agriculture. 
From report of the great National Tidal at Utica, -V. Y„ 
accompanied by a Special Gold Medal. —"The efi'ect 01 Ibis 
Machine was most astonishing. We cannot speak too highly 
of it." 
From report of American Institute Farmers' Club.—" It 
is as far ahead of the common Harrow as a Colt's revolver 
or Sharp’s rifle is ahead of the old Hint-lock fire arm.” 
Solon Robinson. 
From Hon. John Stanton Gould.— “It is the very best 
Harrow I have ever seen. Its effect as compared with other 
harrows is as different as velvet and tow cloth.'

Common and Double Refined Poudrette at retr.il and 
wholesale. This valuable fertilizer has been manufactured 
the past season with more than usual care, and having an 
abundance of pure night soil, it lias been used without st in I 
in its manufacture. We give but few of the hundreds of 
testimonials received from those who have used it the past 
season. 
E. W. Christie, of Haverstraw, N. Y, under date of Oct. 
20th, 1870, says : “ I used the Double Defined Poudrette on 
Corn, Potatoes, and Cabbage. I never saw better corn or 
more on the acre than I raised this year. I am satisfied the 
use of tlie Poudrette increased Die yield fully one-third. It 
gives the plant an early 6tart, makes it grow rapidly, giving 
less work to cultivate it; I also find it a sure preventive of 
the Cut, or Wire-worm, which often destroys tlie young corn 
or cuts tlie roots. It more than doubled my yield of pota¬ 
toes aud cabbages.” 
R. D. Pearce, of Squam Village, N. J., says in a letter da¬ 
ted Sept. 20th, 1870: “I used the Double Defined Poudrette 
mostly on corn. The corn came up in a superior, healthy 
condition, and continued to |;row faster and more stalky 
than that planted in tlie same field with best barnyard 
compost. I am well satisfied my corn is twice better than 
tlie cost of tlie Poudrette. I also applied it to pumpkins 
and other vines with much better results than witli com¬ 
post.” 
Price of Double Refined Poudrette, $25 per Ton. 
Common Poudrette, $2 per Barrel.
