As the season for Trade is again at hand, we would remind 
those who wish to Do Business the present Autumn and 
Fall, that the Rural Nkw Yorker possesses extraordioary 
advantages as an Advertising Medium. its actual circulation 
exceeding by at least 20,000 that of any other paper published 
in this State or section of the Union (out of New York city.) 
In addition to it* immense circulation among the best 
portion of the Rural Population, (more particularly in New 
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois. Wis¬ 
consin, &c.,) it is taken by thousands of Business and Pro¬ 
fessional Men in Villages and Cities from Canada to Califor¬ 
nia, anil Maine to Minnesota. Hence, it is ton medium 
through which to reach, at once, Tens of Thousands 
of the most enterprising, progressive and wealthy Farmers, 
Horticulturists, Ac., and hosts of Merchants, Mechanics, 
Manufacturers and Professional Men. Tts pages are unques¬ 
tionably the best and cheapest channel on this Continent, 
for the Business Cards and Announcements nf all who wish 
to address the Agricultural and Horticultural Pub¬ 
lic, —such as Dealers in Implements and Machinery,—Fruit 
Trees, Shrubs, Plante and Flowers,—deeds and Fertilizers,— 
Improved Slock, Real Estate, Ac.,—as welt as for leading 
Publishers and Booksellers, (especially of standard and 
practical works.) Wholesale Dealers, Manufacturers, Educa¬ 
tional Institutions, Land, Insurance and other Companion, 
Agencies, Ac.; and indeed fur all who wish to secure large 
and wide, and hence profitable publicity. The fact that lint 
limited space is devoted to Advertising, and that a rigid con 
sorship is exercised over that department (nur aim being to 
keep the wiioLS i-ai-kb free from quackery, humbug and 
deception,) renders the Rural far more valuable as a me¬ 
dium of making known matters of value and utility—for its 
announcements are generally so new and of such character 
as to be read and heeded by all interested.

3EYMOUIt’« IMPIIOVKI) PATENT GRAIN DRILL 
Drills have been in use for many years 
and wo triumphantly point to the fiict that, > 
wherever they nave been intrnduood, their value 
is so well established, that, tho practice of dril¬ 
ling bccomoti al most, if not entirely, universal. 
This Drill lies been in use mmiy years, and is 
now used in more than half the Status of the 
Union and in Canada. 
Tlii* DRILL embodies in itself the valuable 
qualities of all the Drills in use, and It possesses 
several not found m any other. 
The light draft of our Drill, together with the 
general desire ot farmers to expedite their busi¬ 
ness hi time of seeding, have induced u« to manu¬ 
facture a larger size than formurly, which ha* 
thirteen teeth. Other sizes in mure common use 
are made with nine teeth and eleven teeth. Also 
any size required for working between standing 
corn. Thesn last liavo to be arranged for their 
particular purpose, anil are only made to order.
