TS3TEW ^ISTX) NOVEL. 
THE STEAKGREITH. 
A NEW AND VALUABLE PRESENT FOE ONE NEW SUBSCRIBER T© THE 
AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
French cooks are in demand the world over, because they make a regular study of their business. 
There is no reason why Americans should not succeed just as well, but it is safe to say that not one per¬ 
son in one hundred in the United States exercises proper care in preparing a steak for cooking. The 
whole meal is a failure because, forsooth, the steak, the centre piece of the table, is not palatable. 
Our attention has been directed to a simple invention called the Steakgreith, for making steak more 
tender and palatable. See illustrations. 
The following directions, which accompany the invention, indicate not only the manner of use, but 
its utility in preparing a steak for the broiler: 
directions for Use. —Always get a thick steak. Lay it on the board accompanying the 
Steakgreith, or other suitable place, and strike as with a chopping knife, crossing the entire surface in two 
or more directions. Turn the steak and prepare the other side in a similar manner. Broil over a hot fire, 
but do not cook too long, as steaks prepared by the Steakgreith require much less than the usual time 
for cooking. Season while hot. Carefully observe these directions, and the result will be an uniformly 
cooked, tender and toothsome steak, which cannot fail to give satisfaction. 
Xo Clean tlie SteakgreitJi after Use. —Press the small horizontal cams seen project¬ 
ing below the spiral springs, bringing them to a perpendicular position, and remove the fender. The 
blades can then be washed and dried without difficulty. Do not remove the spiral springs from the 
fender. 
To any one who will send us a new subscriber to the American Agriculturist before June 30th, at 
$1.50, we will present one of these Steakgreiths. It will be delivered free at our office here, or sent to 
any part of the United States or Canadas, on receipt of ten cents for packing and postage.

In the Report of the Agricultural Department of North 
Carolina for the years 1877,1878, 1879, and 1880, the average 
commercial value of fertilizers was $34.63 per ton; the price 
paid by the consumer was $10.91. We are prepared to fur¬ 
nish the pure Menhaden Guano, treated with sulphuric acid, 
which renders it a soluble fertilizer, f. o. b. on cars or ves¬ 
sel, in bulk for $25 per ton, or in bags for $28 per ton. G. A. 
Liebeg, of Baltimore, the recognized authority in valuation 
of fertilizers in the United States, puts their value at $43.06 
per ton ; being a saving to the consumer by the use of our 
fertilizer of over $20 per ton. For particulars and samples
