STRAWBERRY PLANTS. 
O F most of ihe celebrated fine varieties, for sale at the nursery of 
J. J. THOMAS. Macedon, Wayne Co., N. Y. Among these 
are the following:—Hovey’ 1 * Seedling, Large Early Scarlet, Dun¬ 
dee, Prolific Hautbois, Duke of Kent, Black Prince, Boston Pine, 
Swainstone’s Seedling, Myatt’s Eliza, Hudson Bay. Red and White 
Alpine. &c. A part can be furnished in quantity at 75 cents to $1 
25 per 100—the remainder at 19 to 33 cts. per dozen. Packages 
forwarded by Express, and no charge for packing where orders 
amount to $3 or more. 
Several of the above named varieties, with common culture, usu¬ 
ally attain an inch to an inch and a-quarter in diameter, and are of 
excellent quality. If the roots are immersed in mud when set out, 
they may, with a few waterings, be transplanted in summer with 
scarcely a failure; and they should in no case be set later than the 
first of autumn, that the roots may become well established before 
winter, and good crops be afforded the next summer. 
GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE AGE. 
Smith's Lever Drill. 
Patented November 4, 1846, to H. W. SMITH. 
T HE advantages of this machine as fully established by use and 
experiment, are 
1.—A saving of from two to three pecks of seed per acre. 
2—An equal distribution of any given quantity of seed, covered 
at a uniform depth. 
3—A saving of labor; a boy and team, with this machine, can 
complete from 8 to 10 acres per day; and the surface of the soil is 
left in such a position that it does not encrust, and undergoes a con¬ 
stant course of natural cultivation by the action of every shower, 
so that the gases and atmosphere readily penetrate,—hence, 
4.—The grain is not so liable to be thrown out by frost. 
5.— ft stands firmer and stronger, and is not so liable to be injured 
by rust or the fly 
6.—Where these machines have been used, the saving of seed 
and increase of product, amounted to from 21) to 25 per cent. 
The great improvement in this machine, over all others of the 
kind is its simplicity, durability and economy, and the facility and 
certainty with which it can be set or altered by a regulated index 
and guage to drill or plant any given quantity of grain per acre, at 
any given depth. 
These machines are now being made at Syracuse. 
County rights to manufacturers sold on reasonable terms.

EAGLE PLOWS. 
M O Plow has beep so long before the 
1 ' public with so few alterations, come 
into so general use, or received so many 
and so high grade premiums, as the ge¬ 
nuine Eagle Plow, made by the inven¬ 
tors, Messrs. Ruggles, Nourse & Mason. 
Notwilhssanding the great diversity of soils, modes of culture, 
and the constantly increasing competition, and being subjected to the 
most thorough and persevering trials ever had in this country, the 
Eagle Plow still stands at the head of the list for excellence of 
work, materials, durability, workmanship, ease of draft, and price. 
Some of its merits over other kinds in use, are that the metal is 
of such a mixture of irons as gives them strength equal to mallea¬ 
ble iron and admits of the chilling process on all the wearing 
parts, which causes them to wear sharp, and do three to five times 
the amount of work, as the ordinary kind of plow casting—while 
the risk of breaking is not increased by the process. 
All sizes of the above plows constantly on hand at wholesale and 
retail, at manufacturer’s prices, at the Albany Agricultural Ware¬ 
house, Nos. 10 and 12 Green St, Albany. All plows warranted. 
For prices description, &c., see Catalogue, gratis at Store or by 
mail. H. L. EMERY. 
BURRALL’S SHELL WHEEL PLOW. 
T HESE Plows run thirty per cent, lighter than the common plow, 
and work well on all soils , in all conditions. 
An impression has gone abroad that they answer only £t on 
smooth lands where there are no stones, or other obstructions.” 
Such is not the fact—they make good work on all lands, rough or 
smooth , and are more fully appreciated among roots or stones, 
and on stiff clay, and hard gravelly soils. Two thousand of them 
have been in use during the last three years among our best far¬ 
mers, and give entire satisfaction 
For sale wholesale and retail (warranted ) an assortment of the 
above (from No. 3 to 12) capable of turning a furrow of from 10 
to 20 inches wide, and from 6 to 14 inches deep A liberal dis¬ 
count to dealers. E. J. BURR ALL.

HYDRAULIC RAMS. 
A COMPLETE assortment of these useful machines constantly 
on hand at the Albany Agricultural Warehouse, where one in 
constant operation may be seen. H. L. EMERY. 
See the following Certificate. 
I have used the Improved Uydraulic Ram since the latter part of 
October, 1847. and can recommend the same to all who may wish 
to be supplied with running water in a permanent and durable 
manner. The distance from my spring to my house is 56 rods; the 
elevation about 70 feet; the fall from the spring tothe ram is 6 feet. 
I have more than enough water from a half-inch pipe to supply my 
house, and to waier 50 head of cattle, and would not be deprived 
of the same for double what it cost. Clark Lewis, 2d.
