Remarks. —Very little change has taken place since our last 
Produce keeps up remarkably well, in the absence of no very 
great foreign demand. 
Money continues tight, but it is thought it will be more abundan 
after the first w eek in January. 
The Weather has been unprecedently mild and rainy during 
the month. The thermometer has ranged generally from 55° to 
67o. No frost in the ground, and many ot the farmers are plow¬ 
ing for the spring crops. 
To Correspondents.— Communications have been received 
from Reviewer, Wm. Bacon Wm. Wheddon, A New Yorker 
and Wm. H. Sotham. 
Acknowledgments.—A Treatise on Calcareous Manures 
Ihird Edition, from Edmund Ruffin, Esq. 
AMERICAN EGG-HATCHING MACHINE. 
Patented Feb. 20, 1846. 
AFTER 15 months of practical demonstration, the subscriber 
is enabled to present the above machine to the public with con¬ 
fidence, as an auxiliary to the wants of the farm house. It is so 
simple in its construction and management, that a child can in 
a short time superintend its operations, with about an hour’s at¬ 
tention during the day; and it requires no care after bed time 
Alcohol, or other high wines, is found to be the cheapest and 
cleanest fuel, and by repeated trials, the average expense of this 
kind of fuel does not exceed a quarter of a cent an egg, for the 
full term of twenty-one days. The chickens produced are healthy 
and strong, and their fine appearance has been the subject of 
general remark, among the many visitors (now) attending Sara¬ 
toga. Full printed directions and explanations accompany each 
machine. The machines are durable, and can be sent with 
safety through any of the ordinary channels of conveyance.
