John A. Pitts, 
Manufacturer of THRESHING MACHINES and DOUBLE 
PINION HORSE POWERS , 68 South St. Paul Street , 
Rochester , N. Y. 
THE subscriber continues the manufacture of the celebrateed 
“ 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. 
Please address as above. JOHN A. PITTS.

PATENT FAN MILLS AND CRADLES. We continue to 
- 1 - 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 tlu'eshing 
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.

IOjOQO Acres of Long Island Land for Sale? 
At Lake Road Station , or Irvington. 
rPHE undersigned is, and has been for several years, engaged in the 
1 improvement and cultivation of the wild lands of Long Island. 
The fact being now fufly 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, fiom 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. 
O^Lake Road is an important and central depot on the Railroad 
—there are large buildings and a settlement there.

Great Sale of Short Horn Cattle. 
T^HE subscriber will offer for sale, without reserve, at public auc- 
tion, on Thursday, the 29lh day of August next, at 1 o’clock, P. 
M., on the farm of J. F. Sheafe, Esq., at New Hamburg, Duchess 
Co., New York, about 35 head of Short horn cattle, including cows, 
heifers and calves. 
This herd was mostly bred by Mr. Sheafe, and I do not hesitate to 
say, that I think it one of the very best in the United States; and I 
have seen and particularly examined nearly all of them. Great at¬ 
tention was paid in the commencement of this herd, to the milking 
properties of the animals forming if, and this, together with fine 
points and good growth and constitution, have been steadily kept in 
view in its breeding. There is but one cow in the herd which gives 
less than 20 quarts per day, in the best of the milking season, while 
one has given over 29 quarts per day, and made 15 pounds 3 ounces 
of butter per week, and two others have given respectively, 31 and 
36 quarts per day. Their color is of the most fashionable and desirable 
kind—red, red-and-white and a rich strawberry roan—only one white 
cow in the lot. They are of good size and fine style, and all in calf 
to the superb imported bull Exeter, who 'wall also be offered for sale 
at the same time. 
Pedigree of Exeter .—Exeter is of the Princess tribe of Short horns 
—was calved in June, 1848, and bred by Mr. John Stephenson, of 
Wolviston, Durham, England. He was got by Napier, (6,238,) out 
of Jessamine, by Commodore, (3,452)—Flora, by Belvidere, (1,706) 
—Jessey, by Belvidere, (1,706)—Cherry by Waterloo, (2,816) &e. 
See English Herd Book, Yol. V., for full pedigree. 
Exeter was selected for Mr. Sheafe, by a first rate judge of Short 
horn stock, and was considered one of the very best bulls in England. 
Quite a high price was paid for him ; and it is believed that his supe¬ 
rior, if even his equal, has never before been imported into this coun¬ 
try. He carries an enormous brisket for his age, and his style, 
handling, and quality are of the finest kind. His color is mostly a 
beautiful yellow red, which is a bright red with a fine golden or 
saffron undertinge, arising from a rich yellow skin. He is the only 
bull of this peculiarly desirable red , ever imported into America. 
Calves got by him, out of this herd of cows, will fetch a high price 
the moment they are dropped. 
Mr. Stephenson, the breeder of Exeter, now stands at the head of 
his class in England, and his stock is of the highest repute. It is en 
tirely of the Princess tribe, and traces its pedigrees, without any al¬ 
loy or Galloway blood, back to pure Shorthorns, for upwards of tivo 
hundred years ; a matter of no small consideration to those who wish 
a superior fresh cross. 
Catalo gues of the above stock, with pedigrees in full, are now rea¬ 
dy for distribution. 
Southdown Sheep .—A choice flock of this superior breed of mut¬ 
ton sheep, will be sold on the same day as above. 
Suffolk Swine .—One boar and several breeding sows and pigs, of 
this fine breed of swine. 
Working Oxen .—A handsome pair of red working oxen.
