straw being laid tfriieht, it is well secured In the Bbeaf and 
does uot drop in me atier-umidliiig and the heads are not ex¬ 
posed in the stack, so that the or wn saving even exceeds the 
labor saving otb tt is a good Mower, being one of the best

the Harvest of 1857, it seems hardly necessary' to advertise 
them , but us this medium for an introduction to the public is 
so generally adopted. I take this method to inform the fanners 
that a close personal attention to tne practical operation of the 
maebiue the pssr. harvest aas induced me to make several im¬ 
provements—these, added to Us tbrmer reputation, give me the 
utmost confidence itt stating >hal it now stands unrivalled as a 
Mower, or a'lombineri Peeand Mower, and Jor harvesting 
Clover Seed, has no competitor I have a large amount of 
certificates from farmers who have used tuy mscr-im* besides 
seternl Premium',, Diplomas and Medals, awarded by State, 
County and Town Agricultural Societies, pointing out plainly 
the points in which it excels all others. Many of these are 
paten,ed and cannot he crabodi, <1 in any oihe.T machine, and all 
will admit how essential anti indispensable they ate to a suc¬ 
cessful Combined Reaper and Mower. 
With each machine will be furnished two scythes, two extra

The spring fleet has just sailed for Canada from 
the north-east coast Of Scotland, carrying out 1,500 
passengers. They are ebitfly agricultural labor¬ 
ers, aud for the. most part young aud newly mar¬ 
ried people. Large sums of money continue to be 
received from settlers in Upper Canada who had 
previously gone out, chiefly from Aberdecuahire, 
and there is every prospect that before many years 
few agricultural luborers will be left at home.

A Good Plan,— Tu Andover, Mass., last year, 
$5 premium were offered Id the boy who would de¬ 
stroy tho largest number of caterpillar nests. The 
consequence was, 20,000 uests were destroyed. 
This year, $15 are offered in similar premiums.— 
This is a good plan. If towns would generally 
adopt it, they would be cheaply rid of the pest of 
caterpillars.
