AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, &c. 
T HE undersigned are Agents in this city to sell the follow¬ 
ing celebrated machines, viz: 
Hussey’s Premium Corn and Cob Crusher. 
Dickey’s “ Fanning Mill. 
Platt’s “ Portable Grist Mill. 
Hovey’s Premium Straw Cutter. (Spiral knives.) 
Warren’s “ “ 
Hull’s Stalk and Straw Cutter. 
Being proprietors of the now celebrated “ Warren’s Improved Por¬ 
table Horse Powers and Threshing Machines,” for one. two and four 
horses, they continue to manufacture and sell them with increased 
success and satisfaction. Of the two horse machines, one correspon¬ 
dent states, “ after a fair trial with barley and wheat with two horses, 1 
can thresh in a clean and thorough manner, at least 30 bushels of 
wheat in one hour, with comparative ease to the horses; and this day, 
without driving them at all hard, in sixty minutes, 200 sheaves of 
wheat of a lame size were threshed out in a clean and excellent man¬ 
ner, which is about 15 bushels. The straw, after threshing, is easily 
bundled; and as it comes out whole and unbroken, 1 consider these 
machines on that account important; and as only three hands are re¬ 
quired to do the work well, I think the great saving of labor such an 
item as to make them what is much needed by many of our farmers 
in this section of country.” 
The prices for these machines are very low, viz:—two horse power 
alone, only $50—two horse power and thresher, together, $75—one 
horse power and thresher. $60—four horse power and thresher, from 
$100 to $l i0. Cash payable in this city on deliveiy. Liberal deduc- 
;ions made on all machines and implements to dealers.

PARTNER WANTED. 
A GENTLEMAN in the Rock River country, Ill., owning a tract of 
lx land capable of supporting ten to fifteen thousand sheep, is desi¬ 
rous of engaging, a partner to embark with him in the sheep and wool 
growing business. His location is unsurpassed for all the requisites 
for keeping sheep. The region is elev 'ted, commanding a view of lhe 
surrounding country for the distance of ten to twenty miles—present¬ 
ing to the eye some of the most beautiful scenery imaginable. Sheep 
have proved healthy there—showing an increase in weight of 10 to 20 
per cent on being brought from Ohio and Indiana. 
FARM FOR SALE. 
£Cj^=* The same gentleman offers for sale another farm, near the 
one mentioned, and lying, also, on Rock River. It is believed to be 
one of the most desirable situations in the western country—combi¬ 
ning all the varieties of surface required for utility, convenience, or 
beauty, with land enough for feeding eight or ten thousand sheep, arid 
other stock in proportion. There is now native meadow on which hay 
of excellent and nutritious quality may be cur, equal to wintering ten 
thousand sheep. On it is a farm house and some fencing. The 
whole is bounded *n one side by Rock River, and on the other by a 
never failing creek of pure water, equal to driving a flouring mill. But 
two miles distant, is a thriving village, where may be found abundance 
of shops and useful artizans. The place is perfectly healthy, and for 
beauty and scenery is rarely equalled; and in the hands of a person 
of taste and means, is capable of becoming perfect for the useful and 
ornamental. There is a grove of 90 acres on the place, situated on 
the bank of Rock River, which stream, it is believed, will shortly be 
made navigable to the Mississippi. 
SHEPHERD WANTED. 
SXJr- The owner of the above mentioned farms, wishes to procure 
the services of a good practical shepherd, of industrious, prudent ha¬ 
bits and good judgment. (A Scotchman would be preferred ) It is 
not wished to confine his attention to one flock; but rather that he 
should have a genera! oversight of several fiocks which (l ie gentleman 
proposes keeping—all within a circle of some six to nine miles. It is 
desirable that he should be familiar with the diseases of sheep and 
modes of cure—rlie best food and other treatment most likely to en¬ 
sure success. lie should also be capable of keeping such accounts as 
are useful, touching the stock, &cil For further information, apply, 
post-paid, to the Editors of the Cultivator, Albany. July 1,1844
