Portable Self-Acting Cheese Press. 
Patented August, 1847, by Chester Stone. 
rpirE most durable, simple, convenient, and economical press 
known. The weight of the cheese governs the pressure, or it 
may be graduated as desired. The principle is admirably adapted 
to packing flour into barrels and other uses. It acts on a double 
lever purchase, the article pressed being the power ; or in other 
words “ The cheese presses itself.” Its weight is 70 to 100 lbs., 
occupies but little room, moved on castors or small wheels, and is 
sold at only $7 to $10, according to size. Already in extensive 
use in the western part of the State, and only need to be seen to 
be approved. For presses or exclusive rights to manufacture and 
sell them in any parts of the counties of Saratoga, Washington, 
Rensselaer or Columbia, apply to H. VAN OSTRAND,

COLE’S AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK. 
CJ W. COLE, Esq., Author of the popular work, entitled The 
American Veterinarian, of which 22,000 copies have already 
been published, has, after years of patient labor and close investi¬ 
gation, completed his great work, entitled 
COLE'S AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK: 
A work which we believe is destined to have a more widely ex¬ 
tended circulation than any similar work, ever before offered to 
the American public. We believe so for the following reasons. 
First —It is a mature work and a practical one, one upon which 
Mr. Cole has spent many years of study and close examination, and 
knowing the wants of the community has met those wants, in a 
plain, concise and familiar manner, avoiding technicalities, and 
scientific specifications and definitions, useful only to the few, 
he has made a work intelligible to all. It will be emphatically, a 
book for THE PEOPLE. 
Secondly —It will have an unprecedented sale on account of its 
cheapness. It makes a volume of 288 closely printed pages. 
Illustrated with nearly 200 beautifully executed engravings, 
by Brown, and is sold for 50 cents, firmly bound in leather, 
ana 62£ cents in Fancy Cloth, 'with gilt backs. It contains full 
directions for Raising, Propagating and Managing Fruit Treefy 
Shrubs and Plants, with a description of the best varieties of 
FRUIT, embracing several new and valuable kinds ; embellished 
with Engravings, and Outlines of FRUIT TREES, and various 
other designs. Emphatically, a 
BOOK FOR EVERYBODY, 
As well for the man who eats Fruit as for him who raises it. 
This valuable work is just from the press, and is now for sale 
at our counter, and will be offered for sale by our regular agents 
throughout the country.

Chemical Manure 
Manufactured by “ the George Bommer New-York Manure Co.” 
r FHIS manure is made chiefly of Fecal Matter from the sinks. 
A in which is mixed a small portion of substances that are of 
themselves, powerful agents of vegetation, and possess the virtue to 
fix and retain the ammoniacal gas of the matter. 
The great desideratum of the agriculturist has always been, t® 
find out some process by which excrements might be solidified 
quickly, and all their fertilizing properties so strongly retained, 
that the manure may dissolve slowly and in proportion to the re¬ 
quirements of the plants, and therefore produce its effects for a 
time equal to that of farm manure. * 
This process was at length discovered by the French Chemists, 
and is now carried out with complete success in more than sixty 
of the large cities of France, where such manure factories are in 
full operation. 
The “ G. B. N. Y. M. C.” has established a Factory on an ex¬ 
tensive scale near the city of New York, in which they manufac¬ 
ture this kind of manure, and as the fecal matter can be obtained 
in this country at less expense than in France, the manure will 
not only be made stronger, but will be sold at a price less than in 
the French cities, this price being so established as to afford only 
the reasonable remuneration to which we are honestly entitled, 
the more so. as its manufacture is not of the most agreeable kind, 
and withal, troublesome and laborious. 
The manufacturing department is under the special charge of 
George Bommer, Esq., who has a perfect scientific and practical 
knowledge of manure matters generally ; and the company has 
established a standard for the strength of its manure, from which 
it is intended not to deviate, so that its customers may at all times 
be furnished witli an article really worth what they pay for it. 
Our manure is an inodorous grain, and as the substances frora 
which it is made contain of themselves all the elements necessary 
to the fertilization of the soil and growth of plants, it is extremely 
well adapted to such purposes. 
To manure an acre highly, it requires 12 to 15 barrels, or 36 t® 
45 bushels spread broadcast. Applied in hills, half of the quantity 
will suffice. Its application is simple and easy, and printed in¬ 
structions for its use will accompany each parcel sent to order. 
We desire it to be remembered, that our manure has no similar¬ 
ity to another known under the name of “ poudrette,” although 
the principal component of ours (the fecal matter) is the same as 
that which is used in the poudrette, in a much less proportion; our 
auxiliary substances, as well as our manufacturing processes a r« 
altogether of a different nature and kind. 
It belongs not to us to eulogise further, the quality of our ma¬ 
nure ; what we desire at present is, to call upon the members of 
the agricultural community, to try it! and we have reason to assure 
them, that they will find it the most profitable manure they have ever 
used. 
PRICES, TAKEN AT THE FACTORY: 
37£ cents per bushel, without package ; 
50 cents per bushel, packed in Barrels, or 
$1.50 per Barrel, package included. 
Orders addressed to the above Company, at their office, TO 
Greenwich St., New-York, will be promptly attended to. 
By order of the Board of Trustees, 
New-York, Jan., 1849.— tf GEO. BOMMER, Director. 
(O^The factory will be in full operation early in the spring, and 
manure can be had in April next, and at any time afterwards.
