FARM FOR SALE. 
T HE subscriber offers for sale the farm upon which he now re¬ 
sides, situate in the village of Auburn, in the county o Cayu¬ 
ga, and containing 100£ acres. 
This farm lies upon the south side of the western turnpike, (now 
Genesee-st., Auburn,) and is well known as having been the resi¬ 
dence of Hon. Nathaniel Garrow, deceased, for many years. 
The buildings, fences and other erections thereon, are ample and 
m good repair; the soil will vie with that of any other farm in 
Western New-York, for fertility, variety and earliness of vegeta¬ 
tion. Great attention has been paid ae well by the former as also 
by the present owner, to the selection and cultivation of choice 
fruit, and there is now upon the farm, in full bearing, a great abun¬ 
dance of the best varieties of apples, pears, cherries, peaches, 
grapes, &c. &c. The farm is well watered, durable springs, which 
give a never failing and ample supply. 
The location is believed to be as desirable as that of any other 
arm in the state, as well for farming purposes as also for the resi¬ 
dence of the gentleman or a man of business, being withing a few 
minutes walk from the Rail Road Depot, and within a few rods of 
the Female Seminary. 
A credit will be given, if desired, for a large portion of the pur¬ 
chase money, for a term of years upon payment of interest annuab 
ly. Inquiries may be made of the subscriber upon the premises, of 
Lxjther Tucker, Esq., Editor Cultivator, Albany, or of David 
Wright, Esq . Auburn. JOHN REMER.

The Lodi Manufacturing Co., defy competition in the art of mak 
ing a cheap , powerful , and lasting manure, and strenuously invite a 
fair trial between an equal cost of their poudrette, and an equal cos 
of the best guano in existence. 
It is hoped that the successful trial of poudrette upon wheat, ot 
Long Island, the last season, will encourage many others in othei 
parts of the country, to make a trial of its effects this season. Quan 
tity per acre for wheat is 10 barrels, or 40 bushels, sown broadca* 
with the seed, and harrowed in.
