AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
INGERSOLL’S IMPROVED, PORTABLE, 
HAY AND COTTON PRESSES, 
A Silver Medal for which was awarded at the late Fair of the 
American Institute ; also, at the Fairfield County Fair, in Conn. 
This Press combines greater power and durability , requires less 
labor, occupies less space , and costs less money than any other 
Machine for baling Hay or Cotton, ever offered to the public. 
And on account of its CHEAPNESS, COMPACTNESS, 
PORTABILITY and GREAT POWER, it is exactly adapted 
to the wants and means of every farmer, and it is believed to be 
far superior, in every respect, to any other machine of the kind 
now manufactured. 
The Scientific American of April 5,1856, says of it: 
“ It will be observed that this press is extremely simple and 
cheap in its construction, while at the same time it is strong and 
powerful; it is also very compact and convenient, readily moved 
from place to place, &c. It maybe employed for pressing cotton 
'and other substances, with the same facility as hay. We regard 
it as a very excellent improvement.” 
The great inconvenience and annual expense of wear and 
breakage in the use of the Roller , Ratchet, Rope and Chain, is 
entirely obviated in this invention. 
We have numerous letters from those who have seen and used 
these presses during the past season, similar to the following 
from Wm. Thompson, Esq., South Londonderry, Vt., who writes 
Feb. 8, 1856, as follows: 
“ Gentlemen : —I think your Press, with the improvement you 
nave made recently, will exceed anything of the kind yet got up, 
for it will press more in a day, with only two hands to work it, 
and do it easier, than any other press in New-England.” 
By the use of this Press, the farmer who resides far inland, and 
ivho has been prevented from transporting his hay to market on ac¬ 
count of its great bulk, may so far reduce the cost of transportation, 
by compressing the liay into solid and compact bales, as to make 
this valuable product one of the most profitable articles of farm 
culture. 
The smallest size will give a pressure of eight to ten tons 
and a bale of hay can be pressed in about one minute. The 
Presses can readily be made of any size or shape desired- 
The regular sizes now made at the factory are : 
Size No. 1, designed to make a bale of Hay, weighing from 175 
to 200 lbs. Price $50. 
Size No. 2, designed to make a bale of Hay, weighing from 300 
to 350 lbs. Price $75. 
Size No. 3 is of immense power and strength, and is designed 
more especially for Hemp, Flax or Hay for shipping to distant 
ports, or where great compactness is required. Weight of bale 
350 lbs. Price $125. 
COTTON PRESS. Price $150. 
This economical, portable and highly approved Press, has been 
thoroughly tested, and we would especially call the attention of 
planters and others to this improvement before purchasing else¬ 
where. The pressing room is 52 1-2 cubic feet. It will hold of 
Cotton, if properly trod down, 500 pounds. The bale will be 5 
feet long, 2 feef wide, and 2 1-2 thick, containing 25 cubic feet, or 
20 pounds to the foot. Outside measure 7 1-4 feet high, 7 feet 
long, 3 feet wide ; weight about 1,400 pounds. 
TOBACCO PRESS. Price $125. 
This press is also very strong and heavily ironed, possessing 
great power, occupying but little room, and adapted to pressing 
tobacco into the hogshead without the loss of time and labor 
common to the Screio Press. The cask sets on the pressing plat¬ 
form and is pressed up against a suitable head piece; then low¬ 
ered, filled and pressed again, and so on until the cask is full. 
This is accomplished with great facility and convenience, aud 
may be done with two hands. The portability, the small space 
occupied, and the low price of this Press, are advantages which 
cannot fail io meet with the approval of planters, and a large 
sale throughout the tobacco-growing States. 
These Presses are so compact, that they are sent by ship, canal 
or railroad, most conveniently and in the best order without 
being taken to pieces; thus saving expense to the purchaser. 
7 -Jfki s Im Pi'°Y em ent, combining the principle of a continuous 
lifting power, is at once very great, very compact and very cheap ; 
being much quicker, and in many applications more convenient 
than the screw, and we are prepared to furnish it on short no¬ 
tice, combining more or less power, for Cider Mill Presses , 
Lshccse Presses, Oil Cake, Cloth or Paper and also for raising ves¬ 
sels, moving buildings, pulling stumps, &c. 
The expense of Machines, of course, will be in proportion to 
the amount of power required for use. The license for any of the 
Mates will be sold separately if desired, ior the purposes herein 
specified. Persons wishing to engage in making and selling 
these various indispensable Machines, will find, on application 
to this Company, a rare chance for an investment. 
Presses on hand and orders filled for any size, without delay.

AMMONIATED SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME. 
T HE attention of Farmers and Planters is 
respectfully called to the above invaluable compound, for 
their approaching spring planting. 
The Manufacturer begs to assure his friends and patrons, that 
they may always depend upon being supplied with a Genuine 
and uniform article, for he constantly superintends, in person, 
the entire process of manufacture and putting up for sale. 
This article has now been before the community for a period 
of five years, during which time it has been analyzed by a large 
number of Chemists in different places; has been TRIED by 
farmers upon every kind of soil, in nearly every State in the 
Union, with almost unvarying success. 
In response to my prsposition, two years since, to allow any 
responsible farmers or Agricultural Societies to take, free of 
cost, a quantity of it wherever they might find it on sale, and 
give it the most searching practical trials, I am happy to be 
able to statethat many of the most influential Agricultural So¬ 
cieties have made such trials, and have pronounced their un¬ 
qualified approbation of it as a valuable and paying manure. 
Please refer, for proof of this, among others, to the Reports of 
the “ Massachusetts State Farm” for 1855, and for the present 
year. 
Perhaps one of the best proofs of its value is the greatly in¬ 
creased demand, unprecedented in tlie history of artificial fer¬ 
tilizers, and not equaled by guano itself. I have now (Feb. 1st) 
orders for more than $100,000 worth, received since the com 
mencement of the present year, but having greatly enlarged my 
works, adding the new factories of which a water-side view is 
given above, I hope to be able to supply orders to any extent 
that may be required. 
As there are a large number of Superphosphates in market 
for the value of which I would not like to he responsible, I 
earnestly request all purchasing to be careful to get the GEN¬ 
UINE article, either from myself or my accredited agents, who 
are always of acknowledged respectability. For the Superphos¬ 
phate purchased from such houses, I hold myself responsible for 
its good character. 
The Superphosphate is packed in bags holding 150 lbs. each, 
and in barrels containing about 300 lbs. each. No charge is 
made for bags or barrels. In small quantities I will deliver it 
—cartage free—on board any vessel or railroad leaving New- 
York City. 
CASH PRICE, $50 per tun of 2,000 lbs.

This pump has just been patented in 
America and England, and far ex¬ 
cels any pump heretofore invented; 
Its peculiarities are simplicity,power, 
and cheapness. Its simplicity ; there 
1 b nothing about it but iron and cast 
metal, and it can be taken apart 
and put up by any one, and will 
last for an age. It has the power 
to raise water hundreds of feet, 
with the extra expense of $8 and 
the price of pipe. Water rises in it 
by hand 100 feet per minute ! For 
p cheapness; a No. 1. pump (for all 
I n ordinary purposes) complete, and 
— fifty feet of pipe, costs but $301 
LThe handle at the top, turns the 
- pipe and pump, and every revolu- 
— tion fills the cylinder twice, afford¬ 
ing an abundant supply of water 
-with the least possible expense 
and labor. It is peculiarly adapt¬ 
ed to deep wells, rail road sta¬ 
tions, salt works, mining and 
. manufacturing purposes. Whe r- 
ever it is introduced, the old force, 
suction and chain pumps will dis¬ 
appear. Practical and scientific 
■men pronounce it as without an 
equal, for all that is here claim- 
y>ed for it. The Scientific Ameri¬ 
can, after seeing it In operation, says: “ This pump is very 
simple in construction, not liable to get out of order, dura¬ 
ble, easily operated and economical; we regard it as an 
excellent improvement .” Circulars with an accurate draw¬ 
ing and full description sent free of charge to all parts of 
the country. No. 1, has a one inch pipe; No. 2, Inches ; 
No. 8, If inches ; and the prices $30, $42, $o4 ; the No. 2 and 
8 are designed for very deep wells, railroad stations, a:c. 
where much water is required. The subscriber is the general 
agent for the sale of these pumps to all parts of the world, 
and exclusive agent for New York. Orders must be accom¬ 
panied by the cash, and should be explicit as to the kind of 
pump wanted, depth of well, shipping address, &c. They wdl 
meet prompt attention. A pump and pipe weighs about 170 
lbs. No charge for shipping or cartage. Wells over 60 feet 
should have extra gearing, which costs S3.
