R NUTTING’S FANNING AND 
• ASSORTING MACHINE.—The increasing ne¬ 
cessity for such a machine as the above, has long been 
apparent to even the most casual observer—and for this 
reason, it meets with the practical approval of every in¬ 
telligent farmer wherever it is introduced ; in fact no real 
farmer can afford to be without it, if he values his reputa¬ 
tion as such, and desires to sow only clean and perfect 
seed. Any person or manufacturer who desires to make 
a change in, or addition to. his business, or engage In some¬ 
thing substantial and profitable, cannot do better than in 
the manufacture of this machine. A more particular de¬ 
scription of it will be found in the “Co. Gent.” of Sept. 
9th, 1858. 
All applications for territory in any part of the United 
States, (the New England States excepted,) must be made
