A New Oorn Planter. 
J. H. WIGGINS, Esq., formerly of Boston, now a Virginia 
Planter, obtained in 1858 letters patent for a Double. Recipro¬ 
cating Corn Planter. This Planter was exhibited at the U. S. 
Agricultural Fair at Richmond, in the Fall of 1858, and obtained 
the first premium ov<-r several others that were in competition 
with it. The machine is admirably adapted to the purpose of 
planting corn, or other seeds, required to be in rows and hills. 
It plants two rows at a time, at any desired distance, and marks 
the line of a third. It also drops any fertilizer, as guano, ashes, 
plaster, or superphosphate, either on the seed, or at such dis¬ 
tance from it, as the person using it judges best. It covers the 
seed and fertilizer at any desired depth, and presses the soil 
over them more or less hardly as its condition at the time, 
whether wet or dry. heavy or light, requires. In short, it is the 
most perfect machine yet invented for the purpose of planting 
and manuring at one operation ; and with a nimble span or 
horses will easily plant and manure thirty acres a day, and do 
the work better than it can be done by hand. 
Mr. Wiggins having betaken himself to an Eastern-Shore 
Plantation in Virginia, has left the disposal of rights to manu- 
iact.ure and use this machine with the subscriber, who now of¬ 
fers them to the public, either for the whole Union, or for sin¬ 
gle States Enterprising mechanics will do well to enquire, as 
the machine has so manifest advantages over all others, that it 
cannot fail of coming into general use, as soon as known. The 
Patentee's right is unquestionable. Perfect titles will be given 
by him. Address J. A. NASH, 55 Sands-st.,

PRATT’S 
PATENT 
SELF-VENTILATING 
Covered Milk-Pan. 
This is an enclosed Milk-Pan.so ar 
ranged as to secure the supply and • 
circulation of air required for the 
separation and rising of the cream. 
By reference to the engraving, it 
will be seen that the pan has a cover; around the lower rim of 
this cover are several minute perforations for the air to enter, 
and at the top of the chimney, (as it maybe called,) which 
rises from the center of the cover, is another series of perfora¬ 
tions for the air to escape. When new milk is placed m this 
pan, the colder external air presses in through the lower range 
of perforations in the cover, and forces the warm air out through 
the perforations above, thus producing the required circulation. 
This circulation of air will diminish, as the cooling process goes 
on, but not cease ; for, gases being evolved in the production of 
cream, their lightness will still cause the air to draw in through 
the lower perforations, and so continue the process of ventilation. 
The value of this new milk-pan will be at once apparent. 
Dairymen often have great difficulty in protecting their open 
pans from gnats, flies, rats, mice, snails, lizards, &c., &c., and 
they cannot cover them, because, if the air is shut out, the 
cream will not separate from the milk. 
But not alone to dairymen is the invention of value. In every 
family, milk is used; and with one or more of these self-venti- 
lating pans, the best condition for raising cream is secured. 
Covered, and set upan a shelf, or the cellar floor, the pan is en¬ 
tirely free from molestation. During the time that the patent 
was pending, in 1858, this Milk-pan was exhibited at the U. S. 
Agricultural Fair, held in Richmond, Ya.; at the Pennsylvania 
State Fair, held at Pittsburgh; and at the New-Hampshire 
State Fair, held at Dover. In each case DIPLOMAS were 
awarded.
