The Rural New-Yorker.—T his is a handsome 
weekly folio, of eight pages, publislted at Roches¬ 
ter, by 1). D. T. Moore, late of the Genesee Far¬ 
mer. It is edited by an association of gentlemen. 
I'hrce pages are devoted to Agriculture, Horticul¬ 
ture, and Domestic Economy; one to Mechanic Arts 
and Sciences; one to Education; and three to the 
No 5V8 of the day, I.itcrattire, &lc. Wo are thus 
particular in stating tho arrangement of this new 
weekly, for we think it a model paper for tho far¬ 
mer’s family, and of a kind much more likely to be 
generally patronised, than those purely agricultural. 
The New-England weekly papers, conducted in this 
stylo, pay much better than those strictly agricul¬ 
tural, and if we were to start a periodical again, it 
would be in imitation of tho Rural New-Yorker. —

SALE OF MERINO SHEEP. 
I WILL sell at my Farm, on Wednesday, the 
20th day of November, nt 1 o'clock, I’, M., at 
auction, 
40 Merino Rams, and 100 Merino Ewes. 
These Sheep I have bred from Sheep I purchased 
of J. N. Blakesly, E.sq., of Watertown, Conn. A 
history of his sheep can be found in the Cultivator 
for 1844, at page 2.88. 
At mj^ last shearing I took oft’ 180 fleeces, 100 of 
them from breeding Ewes, GO from shearlings, and 
the balance from Rams and Wethers. They aver¬ 
aged 4 3-4 lbs. 
For the quality of the Wool, I give the copy of a 
letter from II. G. Ellsworth, Esq., Agent of tho 
Woolen Manufacturing Co. in this city, to the edi¬ 
tor of the Rural New-Yorker; 
Office of the Auburn Woolen Co., 
Auburn, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1850. 
Editor Rural New-Yorker, 
Dear Sir Learning that Col. J. M. Sher¬ 
wood, of this city, has proposed to sell a portion of 
his Merino Sheep, I take pleasure in recommending 
them to the attention of such persons as may wish 
to improve their stock of this kind. I have manu¬ 
factured, in tho Mills of this Company, the wool 
taken from this flock, during the last three years, 
and find it grades higher and more even, spins better, 
and is, on the whole, superior to any lot of Menno 
wool I have met with. 
H. G. Ellsworth, Agent. 
The Rams will be put up at TEN DOLLARS 
each. Tho Ewes will be sold in lots of five, and 
will be put up at FIVE DOLLARS for each Ewe. 
[f those prices arc not oflferod, they will remain 
mine.

sale, located in the village of Ovid, county of 
Seneca, State of New York. 
The Flouring Mill has three run of stone, two 
custom bolts, half gang of flouring bolts, two smut 
machines, a good 40 Horse Power Engine, (nearly 
new)—24 feet boiler 40 inches in diameter, capable 
of running three run of stone and sawing—with all 
the necessary machinery for custom and flouring

There is also a good Saw Mill attached, capable 
of cutting 500,000 feet, or more annually, in con¬ 
nection with the custom work of the mill. 
The above property is located in as great a wheat 
growing section as there is in the* State—has no 
other n^ls within six miles of tho same, and those 
water mills, which are usually dry three to four 
months in the year. The Flour Mill has ground 
over 30,000 bushels of custom work, the last year, 
it being the first year of its operation. 
The above property is a desirable investment for 
a person wishing to engage in the business. The 
subscriber built the same last year, he resides in the 
city of Bridgeport, Connecticut, and is engaged in 
business in that city—consequently cannot give the 
above his attention, and therefore wishes to dispose 
of the same. Terms of payment made easy.^ If 
desired, the present Miller would purchase one 
quarter of the same. 
If not disposed of previous to the 1st of January 
next, the property will be sold at public sale on that

of R. B. Dunn, Esq., at North Wayne, Maine, has 
been formed into a corporate body under the style 
and name of tho NORTH WAYNE SCYTHE 
COMPANY, with a Capital of $150,000. 
The Company are now fully organized, and fur¬ 
nished with means to continue tjje making of Scythes 
to a greater extent than any otlier manufactory in 
the world. Such is the perfection of the machinery, 
and the knovvn skill and experience of the workmen, 
that the quality of the Scythe will be nnsnrpassep 
by any in the market. 
To their article of Cast Steel Gra.ss Scythes they 
desire to call particular attention. Made from San¬ 
derson Bros. Genuine Cast Steel, imjtortcd ex¬ 
pressly for that purpose, they will always bo what 
they arc represented, and not like some that could 
be named, made of Ilassenclever or German Steel, 
and stamped and palmed oft’ as Cast Steel. No 
effort will be spared to meet the just expectation of 
dealers and consumers, and customers may be as¬ 
sured of prompt attention and honorable dealing. 
Particular attention will be given to furnishing 
(rrain Scythes for Cradle makers, of any pattern de¬ 
sired, and of us good style, finish and temper as the 
best known. 
Orders and inquiries are respectfully solicited; 
and any addressed to the subscriber at Mohawk, 
Herkimer Co., N. Y., will meet with prompt atten¬ 
tion. [1-tf.] HIRAM C. WHITE, Agent.

T he SUBSCRIBERS would respectfully say 
to the Farmer.s and others of Western New 
York, tliat they have been appointed the General 
Agents for the sale of the above machines by the 
manufac.tnrers, Messrs. Wheeler, Mcllick & Co., of 
Albany, and 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 different 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 will 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 as fast as the double ones. [For further 
particulars see advertisement of Wheeler, Mel lick 
& Co., in previous numbers of the Rural New 
Yorker.] 
All machines warranted to work well, or they 
may be returned within three months and the money 
refunded. RAPALJE «fc BRIGGS,

Air Cook-Stove, combining all the qualities and 
conveniences ofany other Stove sold, and not sur¬ 
passed for oven capacity, economy and utility, by any 
stove in the city. I shall sell it for $4 or $5 less 
than any other stove dealer sells one as good and 
as large. I warrant it to be equal in adl respects to 
any stove in Rochester, and to give satisfaction. 
FARMERS, LOOK TO YOUR INTEREST I 
and if you want to buy a good stove for less 
money than you will bo charged elsewhere, you

THE LION 
AIR-TIGHT COOKIIVG STOfE, 
At Cheney’s, No. 24 Exchange St, Rochester. 
I WOULD respectfully call the attention of my 
friends to this stove, as the best and most ap¬ 
proved COOKING STOVE ever offered to the pub¬ 
lic. It is acknowledged by all to have the largest 
oven, to bake better with less fuel, to have superi¬ 
or advantages for broiling, and to be the most eco¬ 
nomical and perfect, in all other respects, to any 
other stove now in use. 
My armngements are such that I hope to have a 
constant supply, and my friends and customers can 
at all times be accommodated with them, at rea¬ 
sonable prices. 
ffT* Please call and examine them.
