A TKIN’S SELF-RAKING REAPER and 
MOWER.—Three seasons’ use of this ingenious, beauti¬ 
ful, and yet simple Machine, furnish convincing proof of practi¬ 
cal worth. THREE HUNDRED, scattered into 19 different 
States the past season, mostly in inexperienced hands, and 
nearly all giving good satisfaction, cutting from 50 to 600 acres, 
proves it not only strong and serviceable, but also simple and 
easily managed. It saves not only the hard work of raking, but 
lays the grain in such good order as to save at least another 
hand in binding. 
IT IS WARRANTED TO BE A GOOD, DURABLE, 
SELF-RAKING REAPER, and I have also succeeded in at¬ 
taching a mowing bar, so that I also WARRANT IT AS A 
MOWER. 
Price at Chicago, of Reapers, $170; of Mowing Bar, $30. 
Discount on the Reaper, $15, and on Mowing Bar, $5, for cash in 
advance, or on delivery. Price of Mower, $120. 
Pamphlets giving all the objections and difficulties, as 
well as commendations, sent free, on post-paid applications. 
AGENTS, suitably qualified, wanted in all sections where 
there are none. J. S. WRIGHT.

nnHE MOST VALUABLE OF ALL FER- 
JL tilizers.—It is well known and now universally con¬ 
ceded, that for the greater number of crops the most valu¬ 
able element in all kinds of organic and artificial fertilizers 
is the ammonia contained in them. The subscriber has, 
on this account, |undertaken extensive arrangements for 
manufacturing subjects of amonia from the gas works in 
and about New-A'ork city. The greater part of this is 
used in preparing his Super Phosphate of Lime, but he 
can also supply to such as require It, a few tons weight 
o f the pure crystalized sulphate of amonia which will be 
furnished packed in quantities to suit purchasers at $6 50 
per hundred lbs. All orders promptly filled.

TMPROVED SHORT HORN BULL FOR 
-H- SALE.—The subscriber offers for sale his superior Short 
Horn Bull, PRINCE ALBERT, that won the second prize at 
the recent State Fair held in the City of New-Yorlc. 
Prince Albert was calved in 1849; his pedigree is of muchmer- 
il,; in color, he is a deep red with white marks; in temper, ex¬ 
tremely mild and easily managed. He is an excellent stock- 
getter, and would not now be offered for sale, but that the sub¬ 
scriber, in the systom of breeding he has adopted, has no further 
need of his services. 
Under these circumstances, he is for sale at the low price of 
three hundred dollars. The animal may be seen at EUerslie 
farm, one mile south of Rhinebeck station. Address personally, 
or by letter, WILLIAM KELLY, 
60—tf Ellerslie, Rhinebeck.

merous friends that he is now prepared to execute all orders

York, Mr. EDWARD BOSSANGE, No. 138 Pearl-st., who will

IVrULES FOR SALE. — The subscriber 
-T* JL keeps constantly on hand 400 to 500 MULES, of all sizes. 
Among these are some of the choicest animals in the United 
States; 16 hands and over in height, and well proportioned. 
Mules are almost the only working animals usea in portions of 
the Southern States, the West India Islands, and Spanish posses¬ 
sions, where severe work and hard usage are allotted them, and 
under which horses would soon die. An equal advantage would 
follow their introduction among farmers and others, in the 
northern States. They are not only much hardier than horses, 
but they will draw more in proportion to their weight; will en¬ 
dure a great deal more; live twice as long, and eat less; and the 
only dressing or currying they need, is a soft place to rollion 
They are gentle, tractable, and easily managed • and nobody wh 
has ever tried them will ever give them up for horses or oxen.
