Important to Farmers. 
LEAVEKWOUTII 
CORN HUSKER 
PRICE 3 
The Subscriber would respectfully call the attention of Far¬ 
mers and Dealers in Agricultural implements to this simple 
yet important invention. 
Having made arrangements for the exclusive right to manu¬ 
facture and sell this Husker for the State of New-Jersey, the 
Counties of Westchester, Putnam, Richmond, Kings, Queens, 
and Suffolk, in the State of New-York, he is now prepared to 
furnish them to Farmers and Dealers in quantities to suit. 
Having been engaged for the last twelve years in the sale of 
Agricultural Implements, he flatters himself of his ability to 
distinguish between a useful invention and one of no practical 
utility, and confidently thinks that the Farmer will coincide 
with him, (after seeing the Husker in operation,) in pronounc¬ 
ing it the most simple and best Husker invented. 
it combines with its simplicity the most perfect work of any 
machine yet invented for this purpose, anil the extreme low 
price for which it can be afforded, (3 dollars,) brings it within 
the means of small as well as large Farmers. 
It husks corn on the stalk as well as when taken off, affording 
a comfortable seat to the operator, and weighing only 18 pounds; 
it can be carried in one hand from place to place with perfect 
ease. A boy of ten years being able to do the work as well as 
a man. 
The operator has merely to grasp the small end of the ear 
with the left hand, place the butt against the gauge, and with 
the right hand carry forward the lever with a quick motion, 
loosen the hold on the ear and carry forward the lever the 
length of the arm. By this simple operation the ear is taken 
out, leaving the husk on the stalks, and corn and husks are 
thrown in separate piles. 
All persons wishing to purchase machines, will address 
H. R. WESTERVELT or E. H. REEVES, 
with JOHN McNALLY, 
Agricultural Warehouse, 197 Water-st., New-York. 
ff&F Caution—All persons are cautioned against purchas¬ 
ing or using Leavenworth’s Corn Husker in the above territoiy, 
without the name of “ H. R. Westervelt, N. Y,” branded on 
each Machine, as none will be sold by him without the name 
burnt on, and no others can be sold without infringement. 
IRON FINGER NAILS

GOULD’S PATENT HUSKING THIMBLE is an effectual

hand.— Scientific American. 
We are in possession of more than 200,000 letters from farm¬

as flattering as the following. Read them ye who have corn to

J. H. Gould & Co.,—Sirs; I send inclosed one dollar for six 
pairs of your Patent Husking Thumbles. I used a pair last 
year, and I prefer them to all the great, small, or Little Giant 
Corn Huskers. Yours truly, A. H. BELL, 
Hillsboro, Montgomery Co., Ill., Nov. 27, 1858. 
J. H. Gould & Co.—Gentlemen: I send enclosed $1 for six 
pairs of your celebrated Husking Thimbles. I bought a pair of 
you last fall, and have used them for husking ever since ; I will 
never tear my finger nails off husking while I can get them ; 
they will out wear any thing of the kind I ever saw, and for 
husking they can’t be beat. Yours, &c. WM. MORROW. 
Tiro, Crawford Co., Ohio, Nov. 8, 1858. 
PRICES. 
We send-by mail, free of postage, to any P. O. address, six

To the Public. —This certifies that I am personally acquainted 
with J. H. Gould, of Alliance Ohio; and feel free to state for 
the benefit of those whom it may concern, that he is of a good 
business character, able, honorable, and reliable. I would also 
state that his invention, (the Husking Thimble.) stands very 
high in the estimation of agriculturists in this vicinity. 
This Implement will doubtless bear the scrutiny of science 
and the practical operations for which it is designed.

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¬ 
ker’s 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 substant ially 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 orders in any quantity, (which will be 
promptly attended to,) or pamphlets containing full particulars 
of analyses and tests of farmers, apply to 
JOHN B. SARDY, Agent, 
No. 58 Sonth-st., corner of Wall-st., New-York. 
G UANO! !—The superiority of Phosphat-

its solubility is unsurpassed.
