THE CULTIVATOR 
May, 
Palmer’s Wheat Drill* 
I T is an established fact that the drill culture is far superior to 
any other, and the only safeguard from drouth or “ winter-kil¬ 
ling.' 
It is also a fact that J. A Holmes & Co., of Broekport, Monroe 
Co., N. Y., are manufacturing the best Wheat or Grain Drill in the 
known world, and at the loweW price. Every useful agricultural 
implement should be afforded at a rate that places it within the 
reach of every farmer. 
To accomplish this, the subscribers have made an arrangement 
with the inventor, to manufacture on a large scale for the coming 
season, 
palmer’s wheat drill. 
An article combining all the advantages of every other grain drill 
or planter, in a simple substantial form. 
Confiding in the prospect of Large Sales, they have determined 
on selling them at a very low profit, making the price of the drill at 
least twenty-five dollars cheaper than any other, capable of perform¬ 
ing as much. 
(Cf-Wc challenge the world to produce a drill equal to it.==0 
They are made of first rate materials, and in a strong, workman¬ 
like manner, and finished in superior style. Each drill is War¬ 
ranted.

will meet with prompt attention Orders should be sent in or deli¬ 
vered to our authorised agents as early as the month of July, to se¬ 
cure a machine this year.

I. T. Grant Co.’s 
PATENT FAN MILLS AND CRADLES. 
W E , 
continue to manufacture these celebrated Mills and Cradles. 
They have been awarded six first premiums at the New 
York State Fairs, and at the great American Institute in New 
York, and several County Fairs, always taking the first premium 
over all other mills. The manufacturers feel confident, therefore, 
in offering these mills to the publie. that they are the best in use. 
During the year 1847 they were introduced into England, by Mr. 
Slocum, of Syracuse. They were very favorably noticed by the 
English papers: and from a communication of Mr. S.’s, published 
in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Ag. Society, for 1S47, it 
will be seen that they were tried by several large farmers, and 
highly approved. One farmer, it is stated, set aside an almost new 
winnowing machine, for which be paid d£18, ($90) and used 
Grant’s for cleaning a crop of 300 qrs. (2,700 bushels) of wheat, 
and several hundred bushels of mustard seed. We have lately 
made some valuable improvements in the article, though the price 
remains the same as before. 
Our Cradles have taken the first premiums at two New York 
State Fairs, and are considered the best in use. 
The great encouragement we have received from dealers and 
agriculturists, has induced us to greatly enlarge our business, and 
we hope by strict •attention, to merit a further patronage. 
Orders will be thankfully received, and receive prompt atten¬ 
tion.

Your Gargling Oil is selling better and better every month. 
There is in this city a man who has the care of 193 horses, who

is decidedly the best medicine he ever saw or heard of.
