PATENT FAN MILLS AND CRADLES. 
continue to manufacture these celebraled 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 public, 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 1847, 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 he paid £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 fans are extensively used and highly approved at the south, 
for cleaning rice. We are permiited to make the following ex¬ 
tracts from letters received from Hon. J. R. Poinsett, of South Ca¬ 
rolina:—“ The fan you sent last summer, [1848] has been success¬ 
fully used to clean dirty rice, and winnow that from the threshing 
floor. It answers every purpose.” In relation to another of our 
fans, he writes. (April 23, ’49.)—“ Both this and the first mill you 
sent, work very well; and the last, which is the largest that can 
be well worked by a man, cleans the dirty rice perfectly, and is 
altogether the best wind-fan I ever used for that purpose.” 
Our Cradles have taken the first premiums at two New York 
State Fairs, and are considered the best in use. 
we hope by strict attention, to merit a further patronage. 
Orders will be thankfully received, and receive prompt atten¬ 
tion.

Portable Self-Acting Cheese Press. 
Patented August , 1847, by Chester Stone. 
r PIIE 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,

Palmer’s Wheat Drill. 
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 Brockport, Monroe 
Co., N. Y., are manufacturingthe best Wheat or Grain Drill in the 
known world, and at the lowest 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 vety low profit , making the price of the drill at 
least twenty-five dollars cheaper than any other, capable of perform¬ 
ing as much. 
O^We challenge the world tp produce a drill equal to it.c;^^ 
They are made of first rate materials, and in a strong, workman¬ 
like manner, and finished in superior style. Each drill is War¬ 
ranted. 
Otdc-rs addressed to J. A. HOLMES & CO., Brockport, N. Y., 
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.
