land, or with any others bred in this country. Their size, 
beauty of form, and their milking properties, are seldom 
equalled. Some of these animals have taken premiums, and 
among them the gold and silver medals of the American In¬

October next, at the city of Rochester, sixty-five full blooded

country. Every sheep offered will be sold without reserve 
to the highest bidder, and a warrantee certificate given to the 
purchaser.

previous to the sale, by calling on the subscriber at his resi¬ 
dence in Riga, Monroe county, N. Y. 
This breed of sheep needs no recommendation to those 
who are acquainted with them; they are the strongest con¬ 
stitution, easiest kept, apt to fatness, very quiet, less liable 
to disease, than any other breed of sheep.

M orus multicaulis .—25,000 trees for sale, 
either in quantities or all together, and to be delivered

imported cuttings, of the genuine Morus Multicaulis, were

measuring from three to five feet in heighth, with large col¬ 
lateral branches. Purchasers are invited to call and see 
them, at the residence of Gen. Morgan Lewis, Staatsburgh, 
Dutchess county, state of New-York, where the owner lives,

M ULBERRY TREES.—A few thousand Mulberry 
Trees are for sale at the Albany Nursery. They con¬ 
sist of the Multicaulis, Brussa, Chinese, that is, the product 
of Chinese seed, and the common white. The prices will 
depend upon size and quality. The Brussa is more hardy 
than the common, and the Chinese about as hardy; and the 
three kinds are believed to be equal, if not superior, to the 
Multicaulis, for silk; though it is proper to add, none of the 
mulberries that we have tried are propagated with so much 
facility, from buds and cuttings, as the multicaulis. The 
prices will be conformed to the average market price. tf

-, UOR SALE—The subscriber wishing gg

the valuable Iron and Lumber Establishment, formerly own¬ 
ed and occupied by Penfield. & Taft, situated on Putts creek, 
six miles from Lake Champlain, in Crown Point, Essex co. 
N. Y. The premises in question consist of a valuable water 
power, with a fall of more than 100 feet within sixty rods; 
on which there is now in operation a Grist-Mill with three 
run of stones, propelled by an overshot wheel; two Saw- 
Mills, one with overshot wheel and double gear, all nearly 
new and in good order; a Forge with two fires; and a ma¬ 
chine shop for pounding and separating ore. The water for 
propelling these works is held in reserve by four ponds or 
reservoirs on the premises; the upper one being about 2| 
miles in length, forming an ample reservoir for the whole 
works below, and affording sufficient water in itself for driv¬ 
ing a forge with four fires and a rolling mill. 
Adjoining the works are 600 acres of land, one-fourth of 
which is under good cultivation; on which are five dwelling- 
houses, convenient barns and out-houses, a store, blacksmith 
shop, and buildings convenient for other purposes. 
There is also 1,000 acres of fine timbered land lying two 
or three miles from the above described works. Also, about 
five miles distant are 800 acres fine timbered land, on whicli 
are two Saw-Mills, and one of the richest, most extensive 
and valuable beds of iron ore yet found in the U. States. 
Also, 1,900 acres of land in the towns of Schroon and 
West Moriah, Essex co. the greater part of which is covered 
with pine timber; 100 acres of which is under good culture, 
and on which is a good saw-mill, blacksmith shop, several 
dwelling-houses, barns and out-houses. 
Also, one-half of a farm of 130 acres, situate on Lake Cham¬ 
plain, near the mouth of Putts creek, 2-3ds of it under good 
improvement; on which there is alarge and convenient wharf. 
On examining the above described premises, they will be 
found to combine unparalleled advantages for prosecuting an 
extensive business in the manufacture of lumber and iron, 
and for the sale of ore. 
Such parts or parcels of the premises as are necessary for 
prosecuting the manufacture of iron and the sale of ore, will 
be disposed of separately from, or in connexion with, the lum¬ 
bering establishment, as may suit the purchaser. 
For the terms of sale, and all further particulars, inquire of 
the subscriber on the premises. ALLEN PENFIELD. 
rpo THE SILK GROWERS OF THE UNITED 
JL STATES.—In consequence of the difficulty of purchas¬ 
ing cocoons in the present state of the silk culture in this 
country, (competent agents for the purchase, at a distance, 
are not at present to be had,) and as the reeling of the co¬ 
coons is the foundation of the whole business in a national 
point of view, the subscriber is induced to receive cocoons 
from all parts of the country, to be reeled on shares, in the 
Italian style, for exportation; the silk to be returned to the 
owner, or the market price in.cash, as may be desired. Per¬ 
sons sending cocoons for reeling, will please name for what 
purpose it is intended, whether for Sewing Silk, which re¬ 
quires 20 to 25 cocoons (or fibres to the thread,) or the finer 
qualities for weaving, say from 6 to 10, inclusive, and the 
product will necessarily vary with the quality of the cocoons. 
Worms poorly fed will produce light thin cocoons, and many 
of them so light that they will fill with water and sink, and 
consequently be lost. Cultivators will therefore see the im¬ 
portance of producing good cocoons—the largest are not al¬ 
ways the best. The cocoons should be firm and hard to the 
touch. A large spongy cocoon will not yield much silk. 
The terms for reeling for the present season, will be 20 per 
cent of the silk produced from each parcel of cocoons, which 
as they will be necessarily received in small parcels, will be 
attended with more trouble and expense than in after years, 
when the feeding of silk worms will be as extensively fol¬ 
lowed as is now the growing of cotton. 
SAMUEL WHITMARSH. 
Northampton, Mass. July 8, 1839. 
N. B. The cocoons should be thoroughly seasoned before 
packing; they should not be damp, as they will heat in trans¬ 
portation. All bad cocoons in which the worms have died, 
should be rejected. They may be packed in flour barrels or 
boxes, with holes bored in the top and bottom, to give air, or 
in bags within crates, or in any way to prevent crushing them. 
They should not be crowded, but shaken into the barrels with 
the floss on- They may be shipped from any part of the U. 
States, direct to Hartford or New-PIaven, Conn, whence they 
will be received by the canal or river boats, directed to 
“ Samuel Whi.tniorsh, Northampton, Mass.” sept-2t.

Garden and Agricultural, 
Seeds, Implements, Tools, &c. 
kept constantly for sale at his Seed 
Store, 317 North Market-street, 
wholesale and retail, consisting of 
a large assortment. It is the in¬ 
tention of the proprietor to test all 
seeds of which there is any doubt 
respecting their vitality, by sow¬ 
ing a few seeds in a small pot, before offering them for sale. 
And purchasers can test for themselves, any seeds of which 
they are distrustful, by sowing a few in a box of fine earth, 
and placing it in a warm room, exposed to the sun, where, 
if kept moist, the seed, if good, will vegetate in a reasona¬ 
ble time. In all cases where seeds prove to be bad, they 
will be replaced by others., or any reasonable satisfaction 
made. The proprietor has enlarged his establishment and 
increased his supplies, and with his experience in the busi¬ 
ness, together with his facilities for obtaining supplies, 
through Mr. GEORGE C. THORBURN, and his exten¬ 
sive correspondence and facilities for obtaining seeds, he 
flatters himself he will be able fully to meet the wishes and 
expectations of the public, and make the ALBANY SEED 
STORE and AGRICULTURAL REPOSITORY wor¬ 
thy of the high character it has already attained. 
Persons ordering Seeds and Implements from a distance, 
with whom I am unacquainted, without remitting payment, 
are expected to give references in this city or New-York.

EW.YOEK URATE AND POUDRETTE 
COMPANY, not incorporated, but carried on by indi¬ 
vidual enterprise. The manures are not divided among the 
stockholders, as are those belonging to another establishment, 
but sold to applicants for cash on delivery. Orders are sup¬ 
plied in the order of time in which they are received. Urate 
50 cents and Poudrette 40 cents per bushel, with contingent 
charges for bags or barrels, &c. 
The company are daily preparing for use, during the warm 
dry weather, the materials collected during the past winter, 
and will have several thousand bushels ready before the first 
of October next. The material is disinfected and rendered 
free from offensive smell by a compound, every part of which 
is in itself a good manure. The experience of the past and 
present year, 1838 and 1839, on Long Island, has satisfied 
many of the farmers that these manures have the quickest 
operation upon vegetable matter, producing greater abun¬ 
dance, and the cheapest of any manure they have ever tried. 
Amended instructions for their use, the result of practical 
experience, will be furnished on application. The effect of 
Poudrette upon grape vines and morus multicaulis is beyond 
all comparison. This company are erecting large and ex¬ 
tensive works in the vicinity of the city of New-York to 
prepare the manures; and farmers and gardeners may confi¬ 
dently rely on a supply. Orders, post paid, directed to ‘ ‘ The 
New-York Urate and Poudrette Company,” box number 1,- 
211, post-office, New-York, or sent to the store of STILL¬ 
WELL & DEY, number 365, Fulton-street, Brooklyn, 'will 
be attended to. Neiv- York, July 17, 1839. 
The company will be very much obliged to gentlemen who 
have used the manures, to give them a statement in writing 
what has been the result of their use and experiments in re¬ 
lation .0 them. aug-4t. 
TT'OR SALE—A Splendid Country Seat in the 
iff-EfT JP Highlands, on the Hudson River. That beau- 
, I.UiLlJL tiful country residence, known by the name of the 
BEVERLY ESTATE, containing four hundred acres of land, 
about two hundred of which are fine level arable soil, of an 
excellent quality, in a good state of cultivation, and not sur¬ 
passed by any on the river for fertility; the remainder is fine 
and thrifty timber land. The situation is the most eligible on 
the Hudson, extending one mile and a half on the river, with 
a bold shore and convenient dock, nearly opposite West- 
Point, and within fifty miles of New-York. The prospect is 
extensive and diversified, reaching from St. Anthony’s Peak 
on the south, to the bay and city of Newburgh on the north. 
This estate can conveniently be divided into three farms, giv¬ 
ing an equal proportion of front on the river, and of arable 
and timber land to each. Almost every enclosure is supplied 
with living springs of the purest water. There is on said es¬ 
tate a plain house, (formerly the head-quarters of Gen. Ar¬ 
nold;) also out-houses necessary to carry on the business of 
the farm. The single fact that during the whole time the 
cholera raged throughout the state, not one case occurred 
within ten miles of this place, is sufficient to prove the unri¬ 
valled salubrity of the situation. The facilities of intercourse 
with the city, that can be reached in four hours, by means of 
numerous steam-boats, are great, and daily increasing, both 
as regards pleasure, and the convenience of a near market for 
nroduce of every description. 
For conditions of sale, apply to STEPHEN A. HALSEY, 
189 Water-street, New-York, or RICHARD D. ARDEN, on 
the adjoining farm. Ardenia, 23d April, 1839. j6t
