Excelsior Potato. $100. 
I have arranged with Mr. F. W. Holbrook, of Hillsborough 
Co., N. H., to act as his Agent for this new seedling potato, 
which he describes as "The most excellent of the excel¬ 
lent, the best table potato known, the most admired of any 
lor its superior cooking qualities, which it retains later in 
the season ttian any other variety. A good yielder, surpass¬ 
ing many other new varieties. In short, no other potato ex¬ 
cels it, or ever lias, in all that is warranted, for table use.” 
This is pretty strong eulogy, but it comes so '.veil backed up 
by such a number of good recommendations from well- 
known citizens that have grown and used it, and the pota¬ 
toes I have examined are such white, handsome, well-shaped 
ones, and when cooked are so surpassingly excellent, so 
the last ten years, that will surpass the Excelsior in quality, 
as a table potato for fall, spring, and summer use. The 
stock of the Excelsior being small, it will be sold in one, 
two. and four pound lots, at the rate of $1.00 per pound. In 
my Potato Circular will be found a complete history, de¬ 
scription, and many strong recommendations of this new 
potato.

WONDERFUL RAPIDITY. 
Perfectly Reg’nla.r and 
EVEN DISTRIBUTION OF THE SEED. 
- CAHOOK’S PATENT 
BROADCAST SEED SOWER, 
FOR SOWING A 1.1, KINDS OF GRAIN 
AND GRASS SEED. 
This machine has been in use in a few localities for the 
past ten years, and lias proved itself by long trial to be an 
invaluable implement. The proprietor of tlie Patent, hav¬ 
ing been largely engaged in another branch of business, 
neglected to bring it into public notice. 
The subscribers having long known it to be an efficient and 
very much needed machine by agriculturists everywhere, 
have recently bought, at large expense, tlie entire right of 
manufacture and sale of it, throughout tlie United States, 
and are now prepared to supply tlie trade. 
Tlie greatest value of this implement consists in the fact 
that it distributes the grain evenly in the most perfect man¬ 
ner, thus insuring a larger crop than can be obtained from 
any other mode of seeding. 
Its operation is so simple that anybody can readily use it. 
Tlie Hand Machine sows from 6 to 8 acres of wheat per 
hour, and the Power Machines from 15 to 20. It sows 
WHEAT, RYE, BARLEY, HEMP, OATS, 
CLOVER, and HERDS GRASS or TIMOTHY 
SEED perfectly, and is invaluable for sowing Guano 
Superphosphate, or any dry Fertilizer. 
We want every farmer in this country to buy one of these 
machines. Buy them of the nearest dealer in Agricultural 
Implements, if you can, hut if you cannot, wo will box and 
forward by express a Hand Machine on receipt of Ten Dol¬ 
lars, and a Power Machine on receipt of Sixty Dollars. We 
make a liberal discount to tlie trade. 
We could furnish hundreds of testimonials, but have room 
only for the following: 
Portland, Maine, October 29th, 1S68. 
Messes. D. If. GOODELL & Co., of Antrim, N. H., have 
this day purchased of me the Sole Right to manufacture 
and sell “ CAHOON BROADCAST SEED SOWERS,” in the 
United States. They will soon be able to supply tlie largely 
increasing demand, and all orders should be addressed as 
above. 
The validity of this patent lias been fully established after 
one of the most exhaustive suits known to Patent Law, and 
fully believing any practical Seed Sower operating by cen¬ 
trifugal force to be an infringement, I caution tlie Public 
against buying or selling any other than the “ Caiioon Ma¬ 
chine,” as all infringements will he Promptly Prosecuted.

San Feancisco, Cal., lltli May, 1868. 
Gentlemen -.—The “ Caiioon Beoadcast Seed Sowek,” 
Hand and Power, are universally used in California, and give 
entire satisfaction. We sell no other, and no other could 
sell along side of them. They are tlie very embodiment of 
utility. Yours Respectfully, 
TREADWELL & CO. 
Noea, Jo. Daviess County, Illinois, May 2nd, 1863. 
Gentlemen:—I have been using your Power Machine for 
tlie last nine years, and I can safely say, it is tlie best and 
most durable Broadcast Sower that was ever brought lie- 
fore the farming community. I would not be obliged to do 
without it for three times its cost. I have averaged sowing 
three hundred acres a year for tlie past nine years, and 
therefore think I am competent to judge of tlie Machine. I 
could not buy a Machine that would suit me as 1)611, oi do 
tlie amount of sowing that I have every year, to accom¬ 
modate my friends, I often go three or four miles away from 
home to sow grass seed, and I can sow it to perfection, no 
matter which way tlie wind blows. I am confident I can 
beat any one sowing by band. The agent told me when I 
bought tlie Machine if I could sow more evenly by band lie 
would make me a present ol the machine, but I nevci tiied 
and do not care to. Very Truly Yours, 
B. H. KESSNER.
