PORTABLE CmER-MILL & PRESS. 
T he advantages of this machine have already been re¬ 
alized in this State, and heretofore laid before the pub¬ 
lic, certified by a large number of reliable sources. It re¬ 
ceived, at the State Agricullnral Fair at Syracuse in 1840, 
all the rewards .nnd tokens de.-tined by the Society for that 
class of implements, be-ides tlie constant applause of the 
crowd. Its u tility is lieyond a question, and can be war¬ 
ranted a source of positive profit to any one having suffi¬ 
cient employment for such a machine. 
It was patented on the 2 I 3 I of Nov. 1348,.and well tried 
during the same season. It was again tested in the fall of 
1849, on several occasions. 
The small sized mills, whicli are designed to be convey¬ 
ed and operated by hand, are capable of im.king from 3 to 
6 barrels of cider per day, bv the help of a man and a hot'. 
The large size, which are drawn by a pair of horses, are 
capable of making from 12 to 20 barrels per day, with the 
help of two men and one liorse. 
The price of a larfje Mill and Press, and the right of a 
whole town for making, using and vending, does not e.t- 
ceed the cost of one of the ordinary old fastiioned mills.— 
As it is a traveling machine, no sales will be made without 
designating its limits by the lines of either states, counties 
or towns. Applications are solicited immediately, and a 
crowd of references will be furnished. 
They are principally manufactured by the Patentee,

SEYMOURS GRAIN DRILL. 
T his drill, which was potentod in Septem¬ 
ber, 1849, is one of the latest improvements in 
Drilling Maclvines, and better adapted to the 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 How- 
ing Machine, vvlien the drill teeth and conducting 
tubes, (which are very conveniently detached,) are 
taken off. 
ftlany farmers soak their wheat in brine or other 
liquid, (irt 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 fail in the at¬ 
tempt. Wet wheat, oats or white caps, which so 
readily clog other machines, arc 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 ns 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 
macliine —will find THIS THE DRILL FOR 
THEM. 
When drilling with 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, he may be con- 
. stantly^ ASSURED that the seed is deposited as he de¬ 
signs. The teeth arc 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 seed 
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 wiawy, 
and the most satisfactory experiments — not in the 
winter on the floor of the machine shop merely, but 
in seeding time, with the farmer, under various cir¬ 
cumstances, on rough and smooth, hilly and level, 
stony and clear land — the inventor (who was bred 
a practical farmer, and ought to know something of 
the farmer’s wants,) fcel.s 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, was 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 the 
Michigan State Fair, in 1849, and the first premium 
of the Ontario County Society. 
RE C OMME ND ATIONS. 
\ few certificates, from the most reliable sources, 
are subjoined;— 
Mr. Seymour -Bit-. With the Grain Drill which 
I purchased of you this season, my son, a lad 16 
3 tears of age, has put in about 50 acres of wheat for 
me, and witli some of it about 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 otliers, and I believe all are well 
pleased with the Machine, and I must say I prefer it 
to any I have seen. IRA R. PECK. 
East Bloomfield, Sept., 17, 1849. 
Mr. P. Seymour —Dear Sir: You ask for my 
opinion with regard to the Wheat Drill I purchased 
of 3 'ou this fall. Without .specif 3 'ing particulars, I 
would express my unqualified approbation of it over 
that of any other which I have seen in use. I am 
somewhat enthusiastic on the subject of drilling — 
believing it will soon be universally adopted by far¬ 
mers. 1 would not willingly disparage the patents 
of other individuals. 
In haste, with great respect, yours, &c..

This ma}' cert:!}', that I have u.scd Mr. Pierpont 
Seymour’s Wheat Drill, and I consider it just the 
thing for putting in wheat. W;M. OTIS. 
Rochester, Sept. 7, 1819. 
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 porsonallj- 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. I 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 be at least one 
of the very best in use. I was present at the State 
Fair, in September last, where the first premium 
was awarded to Mr. Seymour for his Drill. I have 
the confidence that an}' statement which Mr. Sey- 
mour would be likely to make in regard to the Drill 
would be strictly true. ISAAC W. MITCHELL.

SEYMOUR’S GARDEN DRILL 
Is a small Machine of suitable size to be drawn by 
a man. It is ^ot up on the principles of the Grain 
Drill, and will plant pens, 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. ’ 
SEYMOUR’S BROAD CAST SOWING MACHINE. 
This macliine is well known in M'estern New- 
York, and is universally acknowledged to bo the 
best implement in our country, for the purposes for 
which it is intended. It sows correctly, all kinds 
of Grain, (and nay desired quantity peracre,) from 
pens to grass seed — including wheat, rj'e, oats, bar¬ 
ley, buckwheat, rice, hemp, flax, clover and tim¬ 
othy seed. Also plaster, lime, salt, ashes, bone 
dust, Ac. Ac. It is capable of dusting every inch 
of ground on an acre of land with less than half a 
bushel of pliister; and thirt>' or forty bushels of 
lime may be thu.s evenly applied to the same amount 
of land, if desired. It sows 10 feet wide. 
This machine has been much improved by sub¬ 
stituting iron in several important parts in the place 
of wood, making it a very durable article. It has 
taken the first premium at five County and two State 
Agricultural Fairs. 
TESTIMONIALS. 
The folltjwing 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 
well adapted to all the purposes for which it is de¬ 
signed, and it far exceeds all others of which we 
have any knowledge.

RUFUS HUMPHREY, Victor. 
D.4VTD 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 bushela of barley in one 
day, and I think 30 acics a reasonable day-’s work. 
J. H. GLAS5', Avon, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Sey?nour—Dear Sir: The Sowing Machine 
I purchased of you in September last, fully answers 
the recommendations, and I think it among the best 
farming implements of which ourcountry can boost. 
J. HOLLOWAY, York, Liv. Co. 
Mr. Seymour —It gives me pleasure to state that 
I have used your Sowing Machine with much suc¬ 
cess. JABE GODDARD, York, Liv. Co. 
I have used for two seasons past, P. Seymour’s 
Sowing Machine for sowing grain and plaster. For 
sowing grain it is excellent on account of sowing so 
much more evenly than can be sowed by hand. In 
sowing plaster, it is invaluable on accaunt of its sav¬ 
ing labor as well as avoiding the very disagreeable 
dust that arises from it.

Pure White Lead. 
T he ROCHESTER WHITE LE.VD MANU¬ 
FACTURING COMPANY beg to offer their 
brands of pure i,e.\» to the attention of agricul¬ 
turists and horticulturists for painting permanent 
structures of every description. 
This article has been thoroughly tested by the 
best judges in this city and pronounced a genuine 
article. Persons desiring to test the purity of the 
lead, may have it analyzed by a chemist, and if in 
any case it should be found impure, we will pay the 
price of analyzing it and refund the money for the 
lead. 
Be particular about the brand; “ Moulson’s, 36 
Front street, Rochester,” is marked on every keg. 
Purchasers of lead have occasionally been deceived 
in buying lead branded as Rochester lead. Mark, 
xoe are the only manufacturers of lead here. There ia 
however a large quantity of lead “fixed over” here. 
Nevertheless, we wish our lead not to be confound¬ 
ed with that or any other, and therefore desire all 
consumers to give us a trial.
