T30TAT0 DIGGER.—This is a new and highly 
improved Implement, got up by myself, after long ex¬ 
perience of working it in the field. It is by far the best thing 
of the kind in use. One man and a pair of horses will dig 
faster than twenty men can pick up. It throws all the 
potatoes (even the smallest), upon the surface of the 
ground, and leaves them clear of dirt. 
Imported Mediterranean Wheat—Red and White.— 
Very superior—selected by my Agent abroad, expressly 
for my retail trade, from the choicest varieties grown in 
the Mediterranean. 
Threshing Machines and Horse Powers—Of.my own 
manufacture—also of all other approved makers of every 
description, from one to ten horse machines. Overshot 
and undershot Threshers, with and without cleaners or 
fans attached. 
Portable Iron Mills.—Eor grinding Corn, Wheat, etc., 
by Horse or Steam Power ; the best ever used. Price, $50. 
Portable Cider and Wine Mills—Improved from last 
year—the best in the market. 
Agricultural Implements of every description—Seeds 
and Fertilizers Generally. 
Peruvian Guano, Phosphate of Lime, Dried Blood 
and Wool Manure, Elide Guano— the last two are new 
and highly useful Fertilizers. R. L. ALLEN.
