Share’s Horse Hoe and CuHivator. 
T HE Machine that saves the greatest 'amount of labor, 
is D. YV. Share’s Patent Horse-Hoeing and Cultiva¬ 
ting Machine, and is the one which all farmers will pur¬ 
chase. The subscribers have finally obtained this ma¬ 
chine, and offer it to the farming community very cheap. 
It is used for furrowing out , cultivating and hosing corn , 
potatoes , peas , beans , cabbages , or any other crop that re¬ 
quires hoeing. The cost is only $10, and it is warranted 
to hoe an acre per hour, and to perform satisfactorily, or the 
purchaser can return it and receive his money. The sup¬ 
ply is limited and the demand large. 
PEASE & EGGLESTON, Albany, N. Y. 
We, the undersigned, purchased last season one of D. 
W. Shares’ Patent Horse Hoes, and we are satisfied that 
it is unequalled for cultivating and hoeing corn, potatoes, 
and all other planted crops. It does the work in a neat 
and workmanlike manner, and is a great saying of labor.

TBnelteye Premium Mower, 
_A.u 11man &c Millei*’s Patent. 
Awarded First Premium Grand Gold Medal and Diplo¬ 
mas, as Best Mower, at the great National Trial 
held at Syracuse, IV. Y., July, 1857. 
T HE attention of farmers is invited to the “Buckeye” 
Mower, which has received the unqualified commen¬ 
dations of all who have used or examined it. 
It has two driving wheels, which act together or sepa¬ 
rately, keeping the knives in motion in turning to right or 
left. The cutter bar is attached to the frame by a double 
hinge joint, which allows the cut ter to conform to the make 
of the land ; and when not in use can he folded over the 
front of the frame in a moment, rendering the machine as 
portable as any two-wheeled vehicle. 
It is light draft, free from side draft, simple, durable, 
easily managed, works well in any grass, safe for the dri¬ 
ver, and is in all its parts the most complete mower ever 
offered to the farmer. Circulars forwarded on application.
