THE PLOW, THE LOOM AND THE ANVIL. 
A N Agricultural Journal pub’ished monthly in Philadelphia, (as 
successor to the farmer’s Library,) by G. B. Zieber & Co., 
edited by J. S. Skinner & Son. —Terms, five copies for 9510, two 
copies tor $5, and three dollars for a single subscription. Tim ob¬ 
ject of this Journal, as its title indicates, is to discuss and dissemi¬ 
nate, with zeal and earnestness, not only the philosophy and prac¬ 
tice, but also the -political economy of American Agriculture, it is 
designed to convince the Farmer and the Planter, that encourage¬ 
ment and preference of American over foreign labor, in every 
brach of industry for which we have the climate and materials, is a 
question which interests the cultivators of the soil above all classes of 
people: and to show that what American Farmers most need now, is 
not so much instruction how to use th * plow , but how and by what 
policy we can have the greatest number of thriving consumers, de 
manding here at home, the products of the plow. Jn a word, 
“ The Plow, the Loom, and the Anvil,” is designed to show 
that, insiead of a precarious depeudance on ever fluctuating and 
uncertain markets, as recommended in reports and speeches 
published and widely disseminated by the General Government, and 
by the New-York State Agricultural Society, our best and surest 
reliance under a wise policy, would be, on the home market , by 
giving fair and steady encouragement to American Industry , em¬ 
ployed, and consuming at home, the products of American Hus¬ 
bandry. 
In this earnest undertaking to propagate, what is believed to be 
the true conservative doctrine, the Editors have the countenance 
and good will of many of the most highly gifted and patriotic mgM 
of our country. Mr. Skinner is giving to it all liis time and'abili¬ 
ties, and relying on its success exclusively, as his only means of 
support. All he asks is that those who wish it success, will sub¬ 
scribe at once; and those who are opposed to his views will read at¬ 
tentively and judge as impartially as fixed opinions will allow. 
Of all improvements in practical agriculture, and in the structure 
of the implements employed in it, the reader will be kept advised. 
The editors solicit “ aid and comfort ” from all the friends of do¬ 
mestic industry, in all its forms: not to be rendered as to the “agi¬ 
tators ” in favor of free trade, in hard money, gratuities by thou¬ 
sands and hundreds of thousands, but by two neighbors in a V, and 
by clubs of five in a X. 
Now among the oldest of the Editorial Fraternity, he will feel 
greatly obliged to any one of them who will give this one inser¬ 
tion, as it is kindly done here. Editors and Publishers take the 
risk of the mail. No formality is necessary, except to say—J. S.

A * nue to manufacture these celebrated mills. They have been 
awarded five first premiums at the New York State Fairs and the 
Fairs of other States, and in no instance has any other mill of the 
kind received a premium over them. The manufacturers feel con¬ 
fident, therefore, in offering these mills to the public, that they are 
the best in use. During the last year they were introduced into 
England, by Mr. Slocum, of Syracuse. They were very favora¬ 
bly noticed by the English papers; and from a communication of 
Mr. S’s, published in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Ag. So¬ 
ciety for 1847/ it will be seen that they were tried by several large 
farmers, and highly approved One farmer, it is stated, sei 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 
Borne valuable improvements in the article, though the price re¬ 
mains as before. Our agents are II. L. Emery, Albany; G. S. Sc
