BENNETT’S AMERICAN POULTRY BOOK. 
The Poultry Book 
And Fowl Breeders’ Guide . 
B EING- a Treatise on the Breeding, Raising, and General Man¬ 
agement of DOMESTIC FOWLS, with numerous original de¬ 
scriptions, and Portraits from Life. By John C. Bennett, M. D. 
This work will be found to contain a greater amount of original 
and other information, both practical and useful, in regard to Fowl 
Breeding, than is contained in all other American works together. 
It will be illustrated with nearly FIFTY PORTRAITS of the most 
choice varieties of American and Foreign Fowls, some forty of 
which are from life, from drawings taken especially for this work, 
of the most important breeds, and several of them from Fowls very 
recently imported. 
The publishers have spared no expense to bring out this work in a 
superior manner, both in regard to the engravings, the merits of the 
work, and the general execution of every part of the book. And it is 
believed that the work will be found to contain more Practical Infor¬ 
mation on Breeding and Managing Domestic Fowls , than any work 
issued in this country. 
Price—in Muslin binding, 75 cts.; in Paper covers, 50 cts.

I. T. GRANT & CO.’S 
PATENT FAN MILLS AND CRADLES. We 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 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 permitted 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.” 
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. I. T. GRANT & CO.

Morse’s Grey. 
npHIS celebrated horse will stand the ensuing season at the stable 
■*- of James Rice, in Spiegletown, three miles north of the village 
of Lansingburgh He is a beauiiful dapple grey, 15f hands high, 
strongly and finely proportioned; has trotted his mile in two minutes 
and fifty seconds ; is a square trotter, and combines first-rate trotting 
qualities, and great powers of endurance, with unsurpassed gentle¬ 
ness and docility. His colts are justly celebrated for speed, bottom 
and good temper, are eagerly sought after in the market, and com¬ 
mand prices varying from $150 to $500. 
The very high reputation of his stock as road horses, and the ex¬ 
traordinary prices they command, render him by far the most profit¬ 
able horse to breed from of any in the country. 
Gentlemen sending mares from a distance, may rest assured that 
they will have such attendance and keeping as the owners desire, 
and upon the most reasonable terms. The horse will be under the 
charge of his former owner, Mr. Calvin Morse.
