WILLIAM HOVEY’S SPIRAL REVOLVING HAY 
GUTTER. 
T HESE celebrated machines for cutting all kinds of fodder for 
cattle and horses, such as hay, straw, cornstalks, Ac., are 
made and sold by the subscriber, at Worcester, Mass. Also 
sold by Ruggles, Nourse & Mason, at the Boston Agricultural 
Ware Hoiue, and by several of the dealers in the city of New-

do do 6 larger balance wheel, 20 
do do 8 do geered, 25 
To cut two lengths do 2 inches long, 16 knives, splendid, 30 
These knives are so constructed, that by turning 2 or 3 screws 
a little, each knife can be taken off from the cylinder separate¬ 
ly, and in case of failure, new ones can be put on or ground and 
replaced without disturbing the other knives ; and bv means of 
2 set screws under the inner edge of each knife, the edges of the 
knives can be adjusted by those set screws so as to come in 
equal contact with the hide roller, as they revolve in connec¬ 
tion. This arrangement of adjusting the knives on the cylin¬ 
der, is considered of vast importance to the usefulness of those 
machines, and belongs exclusively to the subscriber. For fur¬ 
ther information on the suijeet, the subscriber would refer to a 
communication in the December No. of this paper, by Caleb N.

FINE FARMS FOR SALE. 
T HOSE very superior Farms situated near Galway Corners, in 
the county of Saratoga, collectively known as the Earl 
Stimson Farm, will be sold cheap and on terms most accommo¬ 
dating to the purchasers as to credit. The property consists of 
about 340 acres, is so situated as to be conveniently divided into 
three or four farms, all having the necessary buildings, and will 
be sold together or in parcels, to suit purchasers. Each farm 
is properly divided into pasture, tilled and wood land, and is in 
the highest state of cultivation, fenced in the best manner and 
with the most durable materials. The property comprises a- 
mong other buildings, a large and convenient hotel, which is a 
favorite resort of families in the summer on account of the su¬ 
perior healthiness and beauty of the country. The farming 
buildings of all kinds are most extensive and convenient for all 
the purposes of agriculture and the raising of stock. The pre¬ 
mises also include a country store, a most eligible location for 
a country merchant, having been occupied as such for about 
forty years. It is within tw'o hours drive of Ballston, Saratoga, 
and Schenectady. The farm is well known among leading ag¬ 
riculturists, and in the agricultural periodicals, as the Pattern 
Farm. For terms, &c., apply to J. OAKLEY,

popular paper, was commenced on the 1st of January,

without a rival. No efforts will be spared to render the volume 
for 1844, superior to any that have preceded it. Price, $1,00 a 
year—Seven copies for $5,00—Fifteen copies for $10.
