G rafting Grape-vines. 
The process of grafting grape-vines is entirely simple, 
being ordinary cleft-grafting, and can he done by the most 
common workman who is handy in the use of the knife. 
“Grafts carefully inserted,.grow with surprising rapidity 
and vigor, and the method affords a very easy way of re¬ 
placing an indifferent or worthless variety of grape with a 
good one. If properly done, the risk of failure is very 
small .”—American Agriculturist. 
We have issued a circular giving full particulars how and 
when to graft vines, which will he sent to all applicants. 
Having ascertained, by extensive trial of the ICmnelan, 
that it is better adapted for general cultivation than any 
other variety, we would advise grafting this grape into all 
such vines as are vigorous of growth, hut not profitable for 
their, fruit. 
The following are a few of the merits possessed by the 
Eumklax over other varieties: 
First.—It is entirely hardy. 
Second.—It ripens a> early as the Hart ford 
Prolific, and in advance of any variety of first 
quality. 
Third.—It ripens perfectly to the centre, and 
is the best American Grape for the manu¬ 
facture of red wine. 
Fourth.—It is of the best quality for table use. 
Fifth._Possessing tlie above merits, being 
of good size, and making Handsome bunches, 
at the same time it bears carriage well, it 
must prove by far t he best grape for market, 
and t he most profitable variety in cultivation. 
Orders for Cions for early Spring grafting , or for 
Bads or Cuttings for propagation, should he sent, forward 
soon. 
We shall keep a limited stock of choice Eumclan Buds in 
our retarding cellars, for grafting in May, when the vines 
are in leaf, and will forward the, cions at the proper time, 
in best condition, but all orders for cions for grafting should 
be sent before May 1 st, as we shall at that time use for our 
own propagation all the Eumelan wood remaining on hand 
unsold. IIASBROUCK & Bb'SHXELL,

Oahoon’s Broadcast Seed Sower, 
For Sowing All Kinds of Crain and 
Crass Seed. 
The unprecedented success of this Seeder the past year is 
without a parallel in the history of Agricultural Imple¬ 
ments. It lias probably received more First Premiums at 
State Fairs in the fall of 1809, than was ever awarded any 
other machine of any name or nature, in one. year. 
Joseph Harris, author of “ Walks and Talks,” in American 
Agriculturist, says: “I like tlie Gaboon Seeder very much 
indeed.” Tlie following from a noted grain grower, speaks 
for itself: 
Nor.Tnpor.T, L. I., Nov. IS, 1S09. 
Bear Sir :—The Broadcast Seed Sower you sent me last 
spring is the best Seed Sower I ever saw. I used it in the 
same field with tlie Drill—taking one-half with tlie Sower 
and the other with the Drill. The work was done in onc- 
quarter of the time with tlie Sower; the crop, when threshed, 
yielded more, and the grain was better. I have used it en¬ 
tirely for my fall sowing of wheat and rye. For sowing grass 
seeds, clover, or millet, no other machine could do the 
work so well. A great many farmers, when they saw it, said 
it was only a plav-toy, until they saw it in a lift v-aerc-lot with 
one man traveling as fast as lie could walk, another carry¬ 
ing grain to him, and four teams following after. Their next 
business was to watch the crop when up, but all were sur¬ 
prised to find it so evenly distributed. 
William Cr.OZIER. 
We warrant tlie Hand Machine to sow 50 acres of wheat in 
10 hours, and the Horse Power Machine to sow 120 acres in 
tlie same time, and tlie work to he done with greater pre¬ 
cision and accuracy than it can he done by any other means 
whatever. 
Price of Hand Sowers, $10.00; Ilorse Power, $50.00. Send 
for Circulars, and name of Agent near your residence. 
Grain lias been sown witli Grain Drills, and crop compared 
with that sown broadcast by band, and in some Instances 
the Drill seemed to have the advantage. We believe that 
great importance attaches to perfect evenness of seeding. 
To test the question whether perfect Broadcasting or Drill¬ 
ing will produce tlie greater crop (a question of momentous 
importance to the Agriculturists of the Country), wc ‘offer a 
premium of gilQ'O for the most careful, intelligent, detailed, 
exact, and complete report of an experiment to bo, made this 
year, witli sowing with CAHOOVS BROADCAST SEED 
SOWER, and any Grain Drill in use. 
Competitors must notify us of their intention to make snch 
experiment, at least two weeks before sowing, and reports 
must he made to us by November 1, 1870. These reports 
shall he examined by competent judges, and premium paid 
Jan. 1,1S71, according to their decision. 
We earnestly desire that experiments may he made in 
every part ol' the country, and in every condition of soil.
