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 “ 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. BURRALL.

GRANT’S PATENT FAN-MILLS 
T T. GRANT & CO., Junction, Rensselaer county, N. Y , conti- 
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, 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 re¬ 
mains as before. Our agents ar% H. L. Emery, Albany; G. S. &

GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE AGE. 
Smith’s Lever Drill. 
Patented November 4, 1846, to H. W. SMITH, 
qnHE advantages of this machine as fully established by use and 
A 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. —It 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 20 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.

THE PI*OW, THE LOOM AND THE ANVIL. 
A N Agricultural Journal published 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 $10, two 
copies lor $5, and three dollars for a single subscription. The 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 the 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. In a word, 
“ The Plow, the Loom, and the Anvil,” is designed to show 
that, instead of a precarious dependance on ever fluctuating and 
uncertain foreign markets, as recommended in reports and speeches 
published and widely disseminated byjhe 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 men 
of our country. Mr. Skinner is giving to it all his 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 vid^vs 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 Vill be kept advised. 
The editors solicit ‘Vaid and comfort” from all the friends of do¬ 
mestic industry, in all its forms: not.ro 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 Trindly done here. Editors and Publishers take the 
risk of the mail. No formality is necessary, except to say—J. S.
