ABOUT THOSE plow patterns. 
W E called on J. R. & Co., agreeably to their request, 
to have those PATTERNS “ POINTED out” to 
ns. as they had contradicted us, and were told that they 
had fitted tip a set of castings from OUR PATTERNS, 
and they had some of their casting .lone at Henrietta and 
some in the city. We accordingly went up to Henrietta 
and found nothing of die sort, as we expected. We then 
made inquiries at the foundries in the city, and found noth¬ 
ing, as we expected. We afterwards made other inquiries 
of tl em. and they refused to “ point ’em out ” Cause 
why? We guess they have no patterns to point out.— * 
They may have some castings from abroad, hut no ‘‘ton,’ 
that might lie cramped on to theC Plows,but of no concern 
in town, nor any where else, can so good a fit bb had as 
from i s, as ours are the ORIGINAL PATTERNS—the 
PAT I HR NS FROM WHICH TUB PLOWS WERE MADE. Let 
who attempts to deceive tie relinked. “ A word to the 
wise is sufficient.” BRIGGS &. BRO ,

come tax and no reform. 3. The Peelites, who 
support free trade, no anti-papal measure, financial

The Horse Market. —Cincinnati 1ms of late 
years become the greatest horse market in the 
world. It is tiie point at which horsemen and 
drovers from all regions concentrate for the collec¬ 
tion of their stock. Tho Mexican war drained 
the country of an immense number, which have 
never found their way back to tho States, 'i his 
may ac<ount for the present extiavagaut prices 
which the animal is rating in this market. 
Within tlie last six months they have advanced 
fully 40 per cent, in value. The demand at this 
moment is unusually great, and tlie supply inade 
quale. Horses that would have been sold bi 
months ago for $90 and $100, now readily corn 
rnand $150.— Cincinnati Gazette, 22 tl.

IMPORTANT TO MILLERS. 
The American Miller & Mill-Wrights’ Assistant. 
rptHIS is the most valuable book for practical Millers 
1 and Mill-wrights, extant. It is a new work recently 
published by Wm. O. Hughes, who is himself a practical 
miller, and has spent the best portion of his life in tlie 
business of constructing, planning, and managing of 
Flouring Mills and the manufacture of flour. Iii 
preparing this work for the milling public his object has 
been to establish a correct guide to tlie business, insiead of 
speculative theories. Special regard has been paid to most 
of the essential improvements which have of late been in¬ 
troduced for the benefit of the miller. 
A few of the important subjects treated of and here giv¬ 
en, taken from the contents of the work, are 
WATER POWER CALCULATED FOR ALL HEADS, 
The size of the wheels for all heads, with the amount of 
water necessary to use on the same. 
The entire science of dressing the mill stone, with a prac¬ 
tical treatise on grinding. 
Remarks on the Culture of Grain, &c. 
Table of Grain grown in tlie United States. 
Explanation of Technical terms used in Milling. 
Tlie quality of French Burr, as best adapted for grinding 
Wheat and Corn. 
The proper size of mill picks, for dressing stones. 
Composition for tempering cast-steel mill picks. 
The amount of help necessary to be employed in a mill ol 
four run of stones, with their duties respectively. 
Remarks ou packing Flour. 
Table for do. do. &c., &c. 
No miller or mill-wright should he without the hook, as 
tlie price is nothing in comparison to the value of the in¬ 
formation it contains. The following Millers in Michigan 
having examined tlie work fully approve of and recom¬ 
mend It to public notice: 
Mathews & Beach, Pontiac; R W Lawson, Mt Vernon 
Mills; E R Brookfield, Volant do; J W Fenner, Mt Pleas¬ 
ant do; YV YV Eddy, Sturger’s Prairie do; D P Botinell.

Chapel, Utica do; E Brakham, Rochester City do; E Car¬ 
penter, Pontiac do; J YV Hughtlin, Charleston do: J Cupit, 
Stoney Creek do. A long list of others might be given but 
it is thought unnecessary. 
Mr. Hughes has recently been appointed Flour Inspec¬ 
tor of Buffalo, a very important post, showing the confi¬ 
dence the Millers and Shippers have the ability.

rpHE attention of the farming public is solicited to the 
jl newly improved Railroad Horse Power, as now made 
hv the subscribers. Also to their Over-Shot Spike Cylinder 
Threshers, with Vibrating and Revolving Separators. 
Having had much experience in the sale and manufac¬ 
ture of Horse Powers and other Agricultural Implements; 
and being acquainted very extensively with the wants ol 
the farmers of this Country, as well as the character of most 
of the implements and machines now in use, we think we 
hazard nothing in pronouncing our latest improved Power 
far superior to any before made or sold by us, or with which 
we are acquainted. 
At the late Fair of the New York State Agricultural So- 
iety, held at Albany, their committee on Horse Powers 
naniinously awarded us the highest premium for the best 
Railroad Horse Power, among the large number of the most 
popular and approved kinds of the day, which were on 
xhibition and in competition,—itbeing considered tiie most 
fficient and durable on the ground. 
As the principal mechanical parts of Its construction dif- 
so materially from those mostly sold by us previously to 
lhe past season, as well as from all others now in use, vve 
ive thought it an object to the farmers, as well as for our 
own interest, to illustrate them by cuts and descriptions, as 
follows:

SHORT-HORN GATTLE. 
ryuE Subscriber, having more stock than he can we 
JL sustain on his farm, will oiler at public auction aliou 
3u head of his Improved Short-horn Cattle—consisting o 
Bulls, Cows, Heifers and Heifer and Bull Calves—on (lie 
JOth day of June uext, at his farm 2j miles from this city 
(Troy.) 
It is known to breeders of improved stock, in this coun¬ 
try, and in Canada, that the proprietor of this herd, during 
the past 12 years has, through the medium of importations 
from England, and selections Iroin the best herds in this 
country, spared no expense to rear a herd of Cattle from 
which superior animals could be safely drawn, for im¬ 
provement and crosses upon other herds. His importations 
have been derived from that eminent breeder, the late Titos. 
Bates, Esq., of Kirklcvington, Yorkshire, England— 
which herd, it is well known, has recently been disposed 
of at public sale by his administrators, and dispersed in 
many hands, and can no longer tie resorted to as a whole 
for improvement. The announcement of that sale, created 
great interest, and all short-horn breeders in England seem 
ed emulous to secure one or more of these animals, to min 
gle with the blood of their own herds; and at tlie day- 
sale, there was found assembled the largest audience ev 
before witnessed upon a similar occasion, numbering 
was said, from 4 to 5,000 persons, and among them the best 
breeders in England, and several from other countries, 
some of the animals bringing prices that seemed incredible 
to many. 
In the herd now offered for sale, will he included theim 
ported Bull “ Duke of YVcIlingtou” and the premium Bull 
“ Meteor.” These are Bates’ hulls, and their reputation as 
stock getters is too well known to need any comment. 1 
am, however, authorized by Lewis F. Ai.i.en, Esq., of 
Black Rock, one of the most prominent breeders m thi 
country, and who has had ample means of lonnitig a judg¬ 
ment, to say—“ That in no instance to his knowledge, had 
these two bulls been bred to sliort-norn cows of oilier herds 
previously imported into the United States, but what the 
produce was superior in general qualities to such herds.” 
Tlie most of the stock which is now oliered for sale, has 
been bred from these two bulls, and the proprietor having a 
young bull more remotely connected with that portion of 
the herd he retains, (beingabout 14 in number) can spare 
these two valauble hulls. There will he in the slock offer¬ 
ed for sale 6 young bulls from 8 months to about 2 years 
old, in addition to the two named above, and the remainder 
of the stock will he composed of cows, (most of them pos¬ 
sessed of extraordinary milking qualities,) heifers and 
heifer calves. It is believed that no herd of short-horns has 
ever bceno ffered for sale in this country, exhibiting more of 
tlie valuable combinations of qualities which contribute to 
make up perfect animals. 
A catalogue containing tlie pedigrees of these animals, 
will he ready for delivery at an early period, in which the 
terms of tlie sale will be particularly stated. A credit will 
he given from 0 to 18 months. Gentlemen are invited to 
examine the herd at their convenience. GEO. VAIL.

strong and substantial wheel. 
The back plate is also con¬ 
cave to receive a nut, fasten¬ 
ing and fitting al o to each 
and all the couplings. 
Fig. 5. represents the side 
view of one of the reels, c, 
Iwo of which are confined 
upon tlie forward shaft. The 
driving pulley, B. may tie at- 
tached to either end of shafts, 
h, as required for fast or slow 
motions. 
The endless platform is 
composed of links connect¬ 
ed by small shafts extending 
across the power, and thro’ 
them far enough to receive 
small truck wheels, which 
support the platform, and 
traverse on an iron track the 
whole circuit, except at tlie 
forward end of the power— 
when the small shafts are received into and supported by 
the forks of the reels, c, on the forward shalt, thereby giv- 
> it motion and power. 
Vhe diameter of the reels is such, that the ordinary walk 
of horses, or about two miles and a quarter per hour, give 
them alxiut filly-five revolutions per minute. The diame- 
of tlie pinion I) being about one fourth the diameter of 
tlie converge gear, and consequently receive about two 
hundred and twenty motions per minute, and in the same 
direction— which direction is found most convenient for 
all purposes, and indispensable for driving our Over-Shot 
Threshing Machines, without crossing of bands. The pin¬ 
ion working inside of the converge gear, allows more cogs 
to lx; in constant bearing, is stronger, and runs much light¬ 
er than spurr gearing, or rack and pinion. YVhen arranged 
as in diagram. Fig. 1, sufficient speed is obtained with 
either horses or oxen, (which last are often used) for 
tlireshing grain, ginning cotton, sawing wood, grinding 
feed, gratiiig apples, &c. &c. 
YVhen less motion is desired for other purposes, the band 
pulley B may be attached to either end of the reel shaft, and 
receive but fifty-five revolutions; and when still slower 
motion is required, as for driving Elevators, Hay I’resscs. 
and paddle wheels for ferry boats, or propelling boats in the 
lumber and wood business, on many of our rivers and 
lakes, tlie pinion may be confined upon the reel shaft, and 
converge wheel upon the other, which serves to reduce the 
motion to about fourteen revolutions per minute, with in¬ 
creased power in proportion to decreased motion, the trav¬ 
el ol horses being the same in all cases. 
The advantages of these arrangements are numerous, and 
plainly seen—one of which is removing all the gearing and 
wearing parts to the outside of the power, where it is free 
from dust, and dirt, &c., and where it may 1* boxed up, 
requiring little time or oil to keep them in the best possible 
Tiiniiinc order. 
The liability of breakage and wear, and slipping of links 
and pinions, as in the rack and pinion powers, (and most 
others) is wliollv removed. In shipping them, tlie gears 
are taken off anil packed in a box with other things. 
Having sold a large number of the Improved Machines 
tlie past harvest, all of which, having given entire satisfac¬ 
tion, and when used side by side with the most approved 
of oilier kinds, having been preferred, we do not hesitate to 
recommend ami warrant them equal, if not superior, to 
nny before made or sold by us, or of which we have any 
knowledge. 
Our Thresher consists of a small spiked cylinder, about 
fifteen inches in diameter, and twenty-six inches long, with 
a substantial spiked concave this above cylinder, which is 
adjustable to the work to he done- The feeding table being 
level, allows tlie feeder to stand erect, and is little annoyed 
with dust and dirt—and no possibility of hard substances 
getting into the thresher, to its injury. 
YVe attach a v brating or revolving separator to them, 
which serves to separate all the grain from the straw, and 
leave it with the fine chaff for fanning mill, while the straw 
is carried oil' for stacking. 
Having heretofore been obliged to have a large portion of 
some parts of our work done by contract, we have felt tlie 
inconvenience and want of dependance to be placed upon 
the quality of materials and workmanship; we have now 
so extended our facilities, as to enable us to make all parts 
of all our own machines, and can now assure the public 
that none but the best work and stock will be offered by us.
