SUPPLEMENT TO THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Hllver-plnted Warn und Cutlery. 
We congrat ulate our friends that we are again 
able to place within their reach the 
goods of the weJl known and reliable firm of 
Reed & Barton. N. Y. This firm has 
shown great progress in the manufacture of 
plated ware. The quality of their plating is 
unsurpassed by any in this country or Europe. 
The designs are original and artistic, the 
metallic deposit, solid, and the finish perfect. 
It iB, therefore, no wonder that these goods 
whenever exhibited, have received the highest 
premiums. But better than all such awards 
for new goods on exhibition, is the testimony 
of tho»e who have had them long in use and 
who, with one accord, testify to their honest 
and wearing quality. In plated goods the 
buyer’s only guaranty is the honesty of the 
manufacturer Cheap imitations deceive even 
experts. Only the lest of use will expose the 
fraud. Therefore we get only the beat. These 
goods are all warranted full weight of silver 
and plated on the very finest quality of nickel 
silver of their own manufacture. We offer 
the following articles vritb prices and sub- 
seriptton equivalents:

Reed & Burton is u name familiar to a largo 
portion of the people of this country, having 
been before t.ho public for more than half a 
century as manufacturers of tableware, fheir 
works were established at Taunton, Mass., in 
1*24. for the manufacture of Britannia-ware, 
nud theirgoods had attained an enviable repu¬ 
tation years before the art of depositing silver 
by electricity was discovered. They were 
among the first to tuke 
advantage of this great 
discovery, (about the 
year 1345.) which revo¬ 
lutionized the manufac¬ 
turing of table-ware, 
and since that time have 
given their attention to 
prodneing the finest 
quality’ of silver plated 
ware. Prior to 1845, 
the only plated-ware to 
be found was the ‘‘Shef 
field Plate,” which was 
manufactured by so ex¬ 
for deception, and the only assurance the 
purchaser can have is the integrity of the 
manufacturer.

Every article manufactured by them, and 
bearing their name, they warrant to be first

niug their works have been constantly extend¬ 
ed until their facilities for manufacturing are 
excelled by none in the world. 
The manufacturers are t hus enabled to pro¬ 
duce goods which, though they stand unrival- 
lug in design and durability, can be sold at 
moderate prices, 'i’beie is no hrauch of in¬ 
dustry in which there is a greater opportunity

Its striking advantages ere these; tbo two 
outside tines form elliptical blades; they 
strengthen the fork and odd to its symmetry 
of outlinp; and they are made to cut or separ¬ 
ate all kinds of soft food. The shape fits 
them better than the ordinary fork to convey 
food to the mouth. It is impossible to bend 
the outside tines so as to bring the ends to¬ 
gether as is often done with ordinary forks. 
No matter in what manner the fork is used, 
this one will be found adapted to graceful and 
convenient handling, while it will prove a 
lasting ornament to any table.

pure and excellent quality of the metal of

For a number of years 
past the Ex peri m en t 
Grounds of the Rural 
New-Yorker have been 
infested with moles, that 
made us not a little 
trouble. We tried several 
devices for catching 
them, among which was 
the Isbell Tran, made by 
Young & Elliott, 18 Cort¬ 
land Street. New York, 
which, for the price, we 
deem the most useful of 
any tried It is made of 
the best annealed iron, 
and although iu use for 
years, it will not shatter 
as others do that are 
made of common, cheap 
•v. cast iron. It is sure in its 
■ operation and never fails 
to kill. The price is $2, 
und we will send it to any 
one sending us four sub¬ 
scribers. 
No. 31. Lion Feed flitter. 
The working parts of the Lion Cutter which 
comprise the feed rolls, knife and bed piece or 
stationary knife, are confined in iron sides 
and strongly secured to the frame iu such a 
tnauu'T as to give it strength and durability' 
in the most convenient and com|*act manner. 
The feed roller is constructed so that its tend¬ 
ency is to comb out or straighten the feed, no 
matter how tangled it is, before presenting it 
to the knives, thus giviug a more uniform 
length of cut than any device yet invented

constructed as to avoid w ear ou such parts as

They are several years old. have been seen 
and tested by many, and have a wide reputa¬

ware in wood and foliage, but is a bettergruwer

a larger cluster, and to us a better quality, 
and ripens at Its home iu August. The Ulster 
Prolific much resembles iu appear¬
