A New Corn Planter. 
J. H. WIGGINS, Fsq., formerly of Boston, now a Virginia 
Planter, obtained in 1858 le ters patent for a Double, Recipro¬ 
cating Corn Pmner. This Planter was exhibited at the U. S 
Agricultural Fair at Richmond, in ihe Fall of 1838, and nbta tied 
the first premium oy-r several others that were in competition 
wi'h it. The machine is admirably adapted to the purpose of 
planting corn, or other seeds, req-.jred to be in rows and hills. 
It plants two rows at a time. at. anv desired distance, and marks 
the line of a third it also drops anv fertilizer, as guano, ashes, 
plaster, or superphosphate, either on the seed, or at such dis¬ 
tance from it. as the person u>ing it judges best. It covers the 
seed and fertilizer at any de.*i e<l depth, and presses the soil 
over them more or less hardly as its condition at the time, 
whet he- wet or dry heavy or light, requires. In short, it is the 
m<>st perfect machine yet invented for the purpose of planting 
and manuring at one operation; and with a nimble span oi 
horses will easily plant and manure t hirty acres a da vf and do 
the work better than it can he done bv hand. 
Mr. Wiggins hiivin; betaken himself r... an Eastern-Shore 
Plantation in Virginia, has left the disposal of rights to manu- 
lac, ure and use this machine wi'h the subscriber, who now of¬ 
fers them to the public either for ihe whole Union, or for sin¬ 
gle States Enterprising mechanics will do well to enquire as 
the machine hits so manifest advantages over all others, that it 
cannot fail of coining into general use, as soon as known I lie 
Patentee's riAit is unquestionable. Perfect titles will he riven 
by him. Address J. A. NASH, 55 Sands st.,

DANIEL’S PATENT FUEL CUTTER 
This material, which for centuries lias been legarded &s worth¬ 
less, uwxes the BEST KINDLING MATERIAL IN THE 
WORLD. IT HAS, wherever introduced, SUPERSEDED 
THE L SE OF CHARCOAL, or split pine woou for kindling 
fires. 1 emg cheaper, cleaner, and far more converi cut. ITS 
AVERAGE COS I’to manufacturers IS LESS THAN THREE 
CENTS A BUSHEL It brings readilv 10 and 12J^ cents per 
bushel. Certificates without number from the must respectable 
>urces, show * that two bushels of Granular Fuel will go as 
far as three of charcoal.” “ That there are no disadvantages at¬ 
tendant on its use. on the cont rary, much t ime ami laborsaved,” 
also certificates from the various manufacturers, testifying “ io 
a steady increase ol sales, amounting from 50 to 100 per cent per 
annum” Atte'ntion is called to the following certificate. For

From George W. Chapin. Esq., Treasurer of Atlantic Delaine 
Mills, Providence , R. I 
Dear Sir: Respecting the Granular Fuel, before purchasing 
the right for this State I made a thorough examination of ihe 
hide matter, and satisfied myself wherever it has been intro¬ 
duced. it has been favorab.y received, and found superior to 
charcoal.for kindling, and much more economical. The una¬ 
nimity of expression in its favor actually surprised me. 
Very truly, GEO W CHAPTN. 
Seekonk, June 4, 1859. 
Dear Sir : In relation to the mantifactm ing of Daniel’s Pa¬ 
tent Granular Fuel. I would say that I find no difficulty in pro¬ 
curing Brush suitub'e for 2 cen s a bushel I have now 3i», i 0 
bushels on hand, which was delivered at that price. I have cut 
one thousand bushe s per day with the Patent Fuel Gutter. I 
find that in tracts of wood land, yielding 15 to 20 cords to the 
acre, 1,5 )0 to 2,000 bush-Is of Granular Fuel can be obtained 
fiom the waste trimmings, ( valueless to the farmer ) 
Yours truly, RAYMOND H. BURR. 
Worcester. Mass.. July 4, 1859. 
Dear Sir: Daniel’s Patent Granular Fuel is liked in this 
city much belter than charcoal, and in no one instance, where 
it has been used, have the parlies, to our knowledge, failed to 
call for it again. I he machine is in every respect perfect, and 
is capable of cutting one thousand bushels per day. with proper 
oower, ray a two-horse treadmill pow.r. and two men to feed 
it. This Spring we have erected a building one hundred feet 
long by 27 feet wide to store our supplies, and shail, without 
doubt, sell this year 150,000 bushels of Granular Fuel. Under 
this conviction we have contracted for that amount Jt is very 
important to have the material cut between the seasons of Oc¬ 
tober and Mav. Yours, respectfully, 
W, & S. C. LANE. 
New-York, July 8, 1859. 
Dear Sir: During the month of Mav last I visited Wey¬ 
mouth, Brain' ree, Worcester, Millhury. New-Bedfordand Fair- 
haven, and examined in the Granular Fuel Business, and from 
conversations with many disinterested men, I did not hear a 
single opinion dissenting from the general one of the great su¬ 
periorly of this Fuel over charcoal or pine wood, and I have 
not the slightest Hesitation in expressing my belief that where- 
ever introduced, ii must receive the preference of either of these 
articles, and all the manufacturers ag ee as to the business be¬ 
ing eminently profitable, at prices with which those articles 
cannot compete. Yours truly, D. McKENSIE 
Parties purchasing State and County Rights have repeatedly 
sold a portion of their territory for a large per c.< n\ over the cost

GUANO. 
We would call the attention of Guano Dealers, Planters, and 
Farmers to the article which we have on hand and for sale at 
THIRTY PER CENT LESS THAN PERUVIAN GUANO 
and which we claim to be superior to any Guano or fertilizer 
ever imported or manufactured in this country This Guano is 
imported by WM. H WEBB, of New-York. from Jarvis’ & Ba¬ 
kers’ Islands, in the “South Pacific Ocean,” and is sold genu¬ 
ine and pure as imported. It has been satisfactorily tested by 
many of our prominent Farmers, and analyzed by the most em¬ 
inent and popular Agricultural Chemists, and found to contain 
(as will be seen by our circulars) a large per centage of Bone 
Phosphate of Lime and Phosphoric Acid, and other animal organ¬ 
ic matter, yielding ammonia sufficient to produce immediate 
abundant crops, besides substantially enriching the soil. It can 
be freely used without danger of burning the seed or plant by 
coming in contact with it, as is the case with some other ferti¬ 
lizers; retaining a great degree of moisture, it causes the plant 
to grow in a healthy condition, and as experience has proved, 
free of insects. For ordeis in any quantity, (which will be 
promptly attended to,) or pamphlets containing full particulars 
of analyses and tests of farmers, apply to
