THE CULTIVATOR ALMANAC FOR 1845. 
The Almanac which we issued late in the season for 
this year, met with such success, that with our limited 
edition, (30,000 copies,) we were unable to supply the 
demand for it. This success has induced us to issue an 
edition for 1845, and to enable us to supply all demands 
for it, we have had the work stereotyped, and are now 
ready to supply orders from any section of our country. 
We subjoin a list of the 
Contents of the Cultivator Almanac for 1845:

Charcoal.—I wish some one would give us a feasi¬

bushels. Will Za. Drummond, Esq. of Va., tell ushow 
he manages it? James Boyle. 
GREAT SALE OF ELECTORAL SAXON SHEEP. 
T HE undersigned will sell at vendue the two flocks of Pure 
Electoral Saxon Sheep, belonging to the estate of the late 
Henry D. Grove, as follows : 
1. That at Grainger, Medina co., Ohio, consisting of about 
400 sheep, on the farm now occupied by them, on the 30th of 
September next. 
2. The home flock, at his late residence in Hoosick, Rens¬ 
selaer county, N. Y., consisting of about 350 sheep, on the 15th 
of October next. 
A rare opportunity is offered to those who may be anxious to 
improve the quality of their flocks. The following is the opi¬ 
nion of the distinguished manufacturer who has usually pur¬ 
chased Mr. Grove’s wool, of the character of these flocks : 
“ The purest blood in this country was introduced by the late 
Mr. Grove in his own flocks, the wool from which I have been 
familiar with since their importation in 1S27. In point of fine¬ 
ness and admirable felling qualities, this wool is unsurpassed 
by any flock in this country, and the fleeces average about half 
a pound each more than any other I am acquainted with of 
equal fineness. SAM’L LAWRENCE. 
Lowel, April 9, 1S44.”

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 two 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,

Ag. Publications.— We must study our profession; 
we have many judiciously conducted periodicals, and ma¬ 
ny scientific works, and no man who has a proper pride 
in his profession but reads some agricultural paper with 
all the zest that ever a politician devoured a partizan 
journal. These productions from practical farmers 
amuse, interest, and instruct. They excite us to increased 
exertion;—inspire us with confidence in undertakings 
which otherwise would he abandoned upon the first fail¬ 
ure;—give us plans, the most approved, for all our farm 
b i klings;—make suggestions which are often of the 
greatest importance:-—indeed, they act as “ a friend in 
need,”—as a wise counsellor, a judicious, experienced 
adviser. These papers are of as much importance, and 
are as necessary to the planter in the successful prosecu¬ 
tion of farming as the political newspaper is to the states¬ 
man, or the “reportsof cases” to the lawyer.— Bowie’s 
Address. 
Cure for Unruly Milkers. —Make a pen of just the 
size tnat the cow can comfortably stand in and no more. 
This you can do in the corner of your yard, by setting 
down three posts, and boarding them up fence-like, lea¬ 
ving them open at the end to drive in the cow. Let a 
space be left open at the side where you wish to milk. 
Put your cow into it and fasten her in by stretching a 
chain across the end of the pen behind her. Then take 
a piece of rope, say fifteen feet long, and tie one end of 
it to a post behind the cow, and near its length distant 
from her: tie the other end to the leg of the animal, just 
above her foot, draw it back as much as it would natu¬ 
rally be for her to be milked. Then sit down and milk 
the cow at your leisure. It will take a man an hourand 
a half to make the pen; and when once made, it is very 
little more than to milk without. She may object going 
into it the first and second time, but will afterwards give 
no trouble.-— Selected.

Also, the different varieties of Wheat, as White Flint, Red 
Chaff, Mediterranean, and English—for sale in lots to suit pur 
chasers at moderate prices, by ISRAEL RUSSELL, 
Feb. 1. 1844.—mar. oct. 26 Front-street, New-York 
N. B. The following description of some superior English 
Wheat sown in the month of October last, the product of which 
will be for sale at the above Store, is given by a respectable 
English farmer in the State of New-Jersey, who sowed about 
eleven bushels, a sample of which can yet be seen. u It is 
called the Uxbridge W'hite Wheat, and is the most noted Wheat 
they have in England, it being of fine quality, always commands 
a high price, as the flour is used by the biscuit bakers in Lon¬ 
don ; it is great for yielding, and puts out a much larger ear 
than any wheat I have seen in this country. I saw when in 
England, three years ago, on my brother’s farm in one field, 
120 acres, that yielded 40 bushels and upwards to the acre. It 
grows very strong, and is not liable to be laid by heavy rains. 
I will warrant it free from any soil wfliatever. I did not see in 
the eleven bushels, a particle but Wheat; and 1 have sown it 
on Clover seed, on purpose that there shall be nothing but 
Wheat; and I will put nothing in the barn with it, so as to put 
it beyond the possibility of a doubt of its having any thing in it 
or getting mixed with other Wheat, which through carelessness 
is often the case. I have grown a great deal of it myself in 
England, and know from experience that for yield and quality, 
there is no Wheat .to compete with it. Its general weight is 
from 64 to 67 lbs. per bushel. It is smooth chaff, and easy to 
thrash, which is not always the case with smooth chaff Wheat
