LABOR FOR FARMERS. 
flow to Obtain a Prompt and Satisfactory 
Supply. 
In order to meet the presslnj? want of Farm laborers felt 
In all parts of the country, especially in the Western States, 
the AMEinCAN EMIGUANT COM'^PANV has organized a 
system by which men can be supplied in any number that 
may be required to any designated locality in any State in 
the Union. 
This oliject is accomplished by parties in a given neighbor¬ 
hood combining together and ordering such men and women 
as they need. Tliese men or women are forwarded in com¬ 
panies from twenty to fifty under the care oi a conductor to 
a point determined on, and then delivered to the parties (or 
their Agents) who liave ordereil them. The utmost care is 
taken l>y the Company in llie selection of the Emigrants at 
New York, and tlie wishes of the parties ordering them as to 
their Nationalitv, age, and general qualillcations are care¬ 
fully attended to. 
A naymenl is required In advance of a snlficient sum to 
pay tlie traveling expenses to the point Indicated, the Com¬ 
pany’s fee tor the services Rendered, and the costof the con¬ 
ductor wlio accompanies the party. Legal contracts are 
made with the Emigrants In accordance with the instructions 
received both as to the rate of wages to be paid, and the 
length of engagement made. 
By tliis means the Emigrants constantly arriving In New- 
York, may he dispersed all through the country and with small 
cost to the employer, as the expense of transportation will, 
in all cases be stipulated to be repaid by the Emigrant. 
A large number of carefully selected Swedish. German, 
and British farm laborersare expected to arrive during the 
present season, and it is suggested to farmers in all sections 
of the country to avail themselves without delay of the op¬ 
portunity thus afforded of obtaining male and female help 
in the promptest and most economical manner.

“ We have long despaired of finding a patent Churn, which 
would in all essentials surpass the old dash churn, but be¬ 
lieve we must succumb at last. If we mistake not, the Brink- 
erhoff churn will prove the long sought desideratum among 
butter-makers.”—Uural New Yorker of 1863. 
“The Brinkerhort* Churn seems to stand the test well; we 
have lately received several communications in its favor in 
answer to an article lately published in the Kural. We are 
glad to know that the churn has maintained the character 
we gave it when first introduced”—Uural New Yorker of 1865. 
“Tills Churn has, for the last three years, stood the only 
decisive test, that of actual use in good dairies, and has come 
out approved. There can be no doubt of Mr. Brinkerhofl''s 
having distanced all competitors, and his churn must inevi¬ 
tably come into general use. It not only reduces the once 
laborious and tedious businessof churning, to a few minute.s, 
but it actually attain.^ a better result, than can 
be reached by the old process. So much we can say after 
using this churn for years.”—Northern Independent, N. Y.
