BY J. J. THOMAS, 
/CONTAINING- directions for the Propagation and Culture of 
C'' Fruit Trees, in the Nursery, Orchard, ana Garden, with Descrip¬ 
tions of the principal American and Foreign Varieties cultivated in 
the United States. With 300 accurate-illustrations. One volume of 
over 400 pages, 12 mo. Price $1. 
A cheaper, but equally valuable book with Downing’s was want¬ 
ed by the great mass. Just such a work has Mr. Thomas given us 
We consider it an invaluable addition to our agricultural libraries. 
Wool Grower. 
We predict for it a very rapid sale; it should be in the hands of 
every fruit grower, and especially every nurseryman. It is a very 
cheap book for its price.— Ohio Cultivator. 
It is a most valuable work to all engaged in the culture oi fruit 
trees.— Utica Herald. 
It is a book of great value.— Genesee Farmer. 
Among all the writers on fruits, we do not know of one who is 
Mr. Thomas’ superior, if his equal, in condensing important matter. 
He gets right at the pith of the thing—he gives you that which you 
wish to know at once; stripped of all useless talk and twattle. No 
man has a keener eye for the best ways of doing things. Hence we 
always look into his writings with the assurance that we shall find 
something new, or some improvements on the old; and we are sel¬ 
dom disappointed. This book is no exception. It is full. There is 
no vacant space in it. It is like a fresh egg—all good, and packed 
to the shell full — Prairie Farmer. 
In the volume before us, we have the result of the author’s expe¬ 
rience and observations, continued with untiring perseverance for 
many years, in language at once concise and perspicuous.— Albany 
Cult.

10,000 Acres ©I Long Island Land for Sale, 
At Lake Road Station , or Irvington. 
THE undersigned is, and has been for several years, engaged in the 
^ improvement and cultivation of the wild lands of Long Island. 
The fact being now fully established, beyond any doubt, that the 
land in the middle parts of the Island, along the borders of the L. I. 
Railroad, is as good and productive, when cultivated in the same 
manner, as any other part of Long Island. 10,000 acres are now of¬ 
fered for sale, in parcels to suit purchasers, from 10 acres, to 100, or 
1,000, at a very low price, and on favorable terms. This tract is 
near the geographical centre of the Island, being about equi distant 
from Long Island Sound, and the Great South Bay, (the Island being 
about 13 miles wide there,) and 48 miles from New-York. 
There are many highly cultivated farms in the immediate vicinity, 
on the north and south side of this land,-—having been settled and 
cultivated more than 150 years. It is well watered, being bounded 
on the north by the famous Ronkonkama Lake—has also a large and 
never failing stream running through it. The lake and stream are 
full of fish—perch in the lake, and trout, in great abundance and of 
large size, in the stream. The country abounds in game, deer, and 
wild fowl. 
The climate is mild and perfectly healthy, the surface is smooth, 
gently undulating, with an inclination to the south of about 15 feet 
to the mile—the soil—free from stone, easy and pleasant to cultivate 
—is a loam, large portions of which may be called a heavy loam, or 
it is of sufficient tenacity to make sun-burnt brick, right out of the 
surface—-is from 18 inches to 3 and 5 feet deep, and is susceptible of 
the highest degree of cultivation. The railroad passes through this 
tract, affording easy and constant communication with the Brooklyn 
and New-York markets, where the highest price in cash, can always 
be had for every article that the farmer and gardener can produce. 
To capitalists, an excellent opportunity is here presented to obtain a 
large tract of valuable land at a low price, possessing all the advan¬ 
tages for settlement of a new country, without any of the privations,— 
but with all the privileges and comforts of an old one. Apply to A. 
B. Allen, Esq., Editor of the American Agriculturist, 187 Water 
Street, New-York, or to E. F. PECK, 
306 State Street, Brooklyn, L. I. 
03?= Lake Road is an important and central depot on the Railroad 
—there are large buildings and a settlement there.

T^OR SALE, at Mount Ida Nursery, Troy, N. Y., a choice varie- 
ty of Fruit Trees, comprising Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, 
and Cherries, of the most approved kinds—the greater part of them 
worked from bearing trees, and all of them by the subscriber—there¬ 
fore he can recommend them with confidence. He would also say 
to those that have not had the experience, that trees brought from 
the South (if they do live) do not grow as thrifty for a number of 
years, as those raised in a Northern latitude, which many persons 
can prove from experience. He also pays particular attention to the 
transplanting of his trees so as to have them well rooted. 
Also, a good variety of Shade Trees, consisting of Scotch Elm, 
Sycamore, Linden, Horse Chestnut, Mountain Ash, Evergreen 
Privet for Hedges, China and Hardy Roses, &c., &c. 
Catalogues and other information can be had of the Nurseryman,

No Humbug - . 
THE undersigned, after 20 years’ experience and much research, 
-I has discovered a cheap chemical compound, easily applied, which 
completely prevents the ravages of the Bee-moth, and which canJ>© 
adapted to each and every kind of hive, whether patent or otherwise. 
This discovery he will impart to any individual on the receipt of one 
dollar. It being understood the purchaser shall hold himself honor¬ 
ably pledged, not to impart the information to others. The whole 
contained in a circular, to which is added several valuable sugges¬ 
tions in the construction of hives and management of bees, worth 
more than any patent hive in existence.

Burbank or Morgan Chief. 
THIS Horse will stand the present season at the stable of the 
subscribers in Warren, Mondays and Thursdays: at Waits- 
field, Tuesdays and Wednesdays ; and at the village in Rochester, 
Fridays and Saturdays. 
This horse was sired by the celebrated Old Woodbury Morgan, 
afterwards known by the name of Burbank Morgan. His dam 
was known by the name of Empress, and was sired by the origi¬ 
nal Justin Morgan Horse. It will therefore be seen that this horse 
possesses equally as much Morgan blood as either of the four Stal¬ 
lions sired by the Original Morgan, and more Morgan blood than 
any other stallion now living, except the Old Gifford, which was 
sired by the same horse. For further particulars, see our bills.

Manufacturer of THRESHING MACHINES and DOUBLE 
PINION HORSE POWERS, 69 South St. Paul Street, 
Rochester, N. Y. 
THE subscriber continues the manufacture of the celebrateed 
i ‘‘Pitt’s Separator.” It is the same machine that has stood, 
and now stands unrivalled by any machine for Threshing and 
Cleaning Grain, in existence. It has been exhibited at State and 
County Agricultural Fairs, in the United States and Canada,—al¬ 
ways receiving the First Premium. 
The Horse Power, for strength, ease, durability, and cheapness 
of repair, is unequalled. The driving wheel is six feet in diame¬ 
ter, driving two full pinions, each receiving equal power ; 2 bevel 
wheels, driven by the full pinions, connect with two. pinions, on 
the line shaft; thus it will be seen, this Horse Power is double the 
strength of any single geared Power. It may be driven with from 
two to ten horses, depending upon the power required. 
The Machines have fully sustained all I claim for them; I there¬ 
fore solicit orders from those who would secure the best Threshing 
Machine and Horse Power.
