YOUNG NORMAN, 
NOW owned by Alanson Clark, will 
stand this season in the vicinity of Riish- 
■villo. He was sired by O/d Norman, of 
whom a cut may be seen in the Cultivator of 1846, 
(May number,) and notices in volumes of same iour- 
nal for 1847-8. 
YOUNG NORMAN stands 16^ hands high, is of 
a dappled chestnut color, and combines great trot¬ 
ting powers with long endurance, good courage aifd 
excellent bottom—a desideratum which renders him 
by far the most profitable horse to breed from of iinv 
in tills part of the State.

T he SUBSCRIBERS would respectfully say 
to the Furniers and others of VVestern New 
York, that they have been appointed the General 
Agents for the sale of tho above machines by the 
manufacturers, Messrs. Wheeler, Mellick & Co., of 
Albany, nnd that they are prepared to fill all orders 
at Albany prices—adding only transportation. 
These machines are favorably known wherever 
they have been used or exhibited. They have ta¬ 
ken premiums at many diflerent State and County 
Fairs held in Massachusetts, New York, New Jer¬ 
sey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and also in Canada, never 
having competed for premiums without success and 
flattering commendations. 
As many as 2,000 of them are now in use, of 
which over 500 were sold the past season. 
The accompanying cut gives a view of a two 
horse machine at work, with the hands necessary 
to attend it. It wilt thresh from 125 to 200 bushels 
of wheat, or twice the quantity of oats per day.— 
The one horse or single machines thresh rather more 
than half ns fast as the double ones. [For further 
particulars see advertisement of Wheeler, Mellick 
& Co., in previous numbers of the Rural New 
Yorker.] 
All machines warranted to work well, or they 
may be returned within three months and tho money

TO FAR1KIER3 AND GARDENERS! 
SEYMOUR’S GRAIN DRILL. 
^T^HIS DRILL, which was patented in Septem- 
J- her, 1849, is one of the latest improvements in 
Drilling Machines, and better adapted to tho wants 
of the farmer than any other now before the public. 
It sows or plants all kinds of grain and seeds, from 
peas, beans, corn and cotton, to the smallest seeds— 
and combines the advantages of sowing either broad 
cast or in drills. It is an excellent Broad Cast Sow¬ 
ing Machine, when the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which arc very conveniently detached,) are 
taken off. 
Many farmers soak tlicir wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (in which the good seed sinks while the foul 
floats off,) for the double purpose of separating it 
from foul seed and rolling it in lime, plaster or other 
fertilizing substances. This has the advantage over 
other drills, inasmuch as it performs well in sowing 
grain thus prepared, while they utterly foil in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog other machines, are not serious obsta¬ 
cles in this. Those who wish to soak their seed for 
any purpose whatever, or mix with it any fine fer¬ 
tilizers, such as lime, plaster, bone dust, &c.,—and 
also those who prefer thrashing with a flail, to avoid 
the injury done to the seed by thrashing with a 
machine —will find THIS THE DRILL FOR 
THEM. 
When drilling w-ith this machine, the grain falls 
from the grain-box to the tubes, (a space of six 
inches,) in full view of the person attending it — 
so that, in passing over the field, ho may be con¬ 
stantly AS.SUKED that the seed is deposited as he de¬ 
signs. The teeth are all raised from the ground at 
once, with one lever, and the seed all stooped at 
once; or one may be raised at a time, and the sead 
it discharges stopped. 
The convenience and simplicity with which this 
machine is managed is unparalleled. No necessary 
expense or pains have been spared in making it as 
desirable, in all respects, as possible, and after wcviy, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
m seeding time, with the farmer, under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and,level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (v/ho v/as bred 
a practical farmer, and ought to know sometht-ng of 
the farmer’s wants,) feels assured that the machine 
is not only established on correct principles, but is 
got up in that simple and permanent style and good 
taste which cannot fail to suit all. 
The first premium, for a Grain Drill capable of de¬ 
positing fine manures with the grain, w^ awarded 
to this Machine at the Fair of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, held at Syracuse- in Sept., 
1849. It also received the first premium at tho 
Michigan State Fair, in 1849, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society. 
RECOMMENDATIONS. 
A few certificates, from the most reliable sources, 
are subjoined:— 
Mr. Seymour — Sir: With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
years of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and with some of it abottt a bushel and a half 
per acre of ashes and hen dung was mixed, and all 
to my entire satisfaction. He has also drilled in 
about 100 acres for others, and I believe all are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. HiA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seyi/ioMi- —Dear Sir; You ask for my 
opinion with regard to tho Wheat Drill I purchased 
of you this fall. Without specifying particiRars, I 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any otlier which I have seen in use. I am 
somew-hat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. f would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, &c.. 
Gates, Sept. 10, 1849. CALVIN SPERRY. 
This may certify, that I have used Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. WM. Ol’IS. 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1849. 
I have examined certian certificates in the hands 
of Mr. Seymour, in favor of his Grain Drill, one of 
them from Ira R. Peck. I am personally acquaint¬ 
ed with Mr. Peck. His statement can be fully re¬ 
lied on. The other certificates, I have no doubt, 
are from equally reliable sources. 1 have myself 
heard the Drill spoken of in high terms of commen¬ 
dation, by farmers who had used it; and have also 
seen it in operation, and believe it to bo at least one 
of tho very best in use. I was present at the State 
Fair, in September last, where the first prepiium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that any statement which Mr. Sey¬ 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISAAC W. MITCHELL. 
Justice of the Peace.

SEYMOUR’S GARDEN DRILI. 
Is a small Machine of suitable size to be drawn by 
a man. It is got up on the principles of the Grain 
Drill, and will plant peas, beans, beets, and even 
carrots, or any kind of garden seeds, mixed with 
plaster, &c. It is very convenient for large gar¬ 
deners, as it will sow five rows at once as readily as 
the Garden Drills in common use will sow one, and 
is much less liable to clog. 
SKYMOUh’S broad cast SOWING MACHINE. 
This machine is well knowm in Western New- 
York, and is universally acknowledged to be the 
best mjilement in our country, for thq p’arposes for 
which it is intended. It sows correctly, all kinds 
of Grain, (and riay desired quantity pcracrO,) ffoni 
peas to grass seed —including wheat, rye, oats, bar¬ 
ley, buckw'hcat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed. Also plaster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
dust, &c. &c. It is capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel of plaster; and thirty or forty bushels of 
ti.Tie may be thus evenly applied to the same amount 
of land, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
Tliis machine has been much improved by sub¬ 
stituting iron in several important parts in the place 
of wood, mti.king it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium at five County and State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
Tiie following certificates show the public senti¬ 
ment in regard to this machine; 
We, the undersigned, being well acquainted with 
Seymour’s Broad-cast Sowing Machine, do say it is 
tyoll adapted to all the purposes for which it is de¬ 
signed, and It far exceeds all others of which we 
have any knowledge. 
DAVID C. BATES, Canandaigua, 
SAMUEL H. ANDREWS, do. 
RUFUS HUMPHREY, Victor. 
DAY ID CLARK, Seneca. 
This may certify, that I have used Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine, in sowing oats, barley, peas, 
clover and herds grass seed, and it operates to my 
utmost satisfaction. I sowed 30 bushels of oats, 8 
bushels of peas, and 20 buslulsof barley in one 
day, and I think 30 acres a reasonable day’s work. 
J. H. GLAiSiS, Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour -Dear Sir: The Sowing Machine 
I purchased of you lu September last, fully answers 
the recommendations, and 1 think it among the best 
forming implements of wdiich oiircouutry can boast 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —It gives me pleasure to state that 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess. JABEZ GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sovying Machine for sow-ing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is excellent on account of sowing so 
much more evenly titan cam be sowed by luind. In 
sowing plaster, it is invaluable on account of its sav¬ 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.

drilling in the grain. It is well finished, substanti¬ 
ally made, of good material, and warranted — at the 
low price of Sixty-Five Dollars. 
No. 2, is built for drilling all kinds of grain. It 
will also sow fine manure, broad-cast, oa crops.— 
Price $55. 
No. 3, is a plain Wheat Drill: simple, accurate, 
substantial. Price $45. None of our machines will 
clog in the runs; they cannot do so with, the most 
difficult kind of seed; the DISTRIBUTING PRIN¬ 
CIPLE being not only entirely new but certain in its 
operation. , 
We are prepared to supply all orders. Those 
wishing to purchase drills, would do well to see ours
