GEO. SOMMER'’S PROPOSALS for the formation of a 
Joint Stock Company, for the purpose of erecting an Estab¬ 
lishment ill the city of New-York, having for its object:— 
1. The Draining of Sinks, either by meat is of air-tight night 
carts, or by atmospheric pressure. 2. The conversion of said 
sink material into manure, to be called Improved Poud retie. 
3 The preparation of Ammoniated Superphosphate of IJme , 
a concentrated rich manure, being, in its effects, equal to gnu- 
no, to be made chiefly of bones, acids, ammonia, Ac. 
Mr. Beamier, having always in view the farming'; interest, 
desires to have the greater part of the shares of the capital 
stock of said establishment subscribed by farmers; he.offers 
to any fanner or gardener who subscribes tor shares, to have 
manure for his own use at 25 per cent cheaper than the .com¬ 
pany’s market price. Further, information on the subject 
will be found in a pamphlet containing the basis, terms and 
conditions on which said establishment shall be founded, to¬ 
gether with a statement *of its fixture expenses, its work ng 
costs, and its income. Said pamphlets can be had at the office, 
of this paper, to which place subscriptions for shares can be 
made or remitted, or send directly to Mr. Geo. Bommer’s 
office, 74 Greenwicli-street, New* York city.

McCormick’s Reaping & Mowing Machine. 
I AM now manufacturing 1.500 Reaping and Mowing Ma¬ 
chines for 1854, and farmers who want machines are re¬ 
quested to send in their orders early. Last year I had not a 
supply, although I had 1,500 in the market. 
I oder my large experience (both in this country find in 
Europe) for the last fifteen years or more, in this business, as 
the safest guarantee the farmer can have in the purchase of 
a machine of this kind, notwithstanding the pretensions of 
others, whose limited experience in this business accounts 
for their large promises. 
Deeming it useless t r> insert long advertisements in the 
newspapers, I shall be pleased to furnish applicants with my 
printed circular. 
Some important improvements have been made, while tire 
machine will be found as simple and efficient as a machine 
of the kind can be. The important points that will present 
themselves in these machines will be, perfect simplicity, ease 
of repairing, durability, and adaptation to the wants of the 
farmer as a reaper and mower. I shall continue the use of 
the wrought iron beam, which will be found very important 
in mowing, because of the friction upon the ground, and lia¬ 
bility to wear and tear a "wooden beam or airy sheet iron 
lining that may be used upon it. Another very important ad¬ 
vantage which I claim for my combined machine is, that it 
can be readily changed so as to cut any desired height of 
stubble, as a reaper or mower, by simply removing three 
bolls. This principle will be found wanting in other ma¬ 
chines, though valuable upon rough ground, or for mowing 
barley, or lodged oats, timothy seed, clover seed, Ac., or 
where the ground may not be firm, and there be liability in 
the wheels to sink,, and the cutter to be brought in contact 
with the ground, sand, gravel, Ac. With my combined ma¬ 
chine, the farmer has also the advantage of a Reel in mow¬ 
ing, which admits of a slow walk to the. horses, and is espe¬ 
cially valuable when the wind interferes with the successfu 
operation of the machine. 
The public are now especially cautioned to beware of 
Seymour § Morgan's t: New-York Reaper,” also made by 
Warder A Brocaw, of Ohio. These men have been selling 
my machines, and taking premiums with them, (at the Ohio 
trial in 1853 and elsewhere,) ih.Qvgh under an injunction , the 
second time , since the late re-issue of my patent in April last , 
and in addition to a verdict of S20,0‘00 for past infringements. 
(£7=* Sundry other parties wi.l soon be held to strict ac¬ 
count for their infringements, under this patent, which makes 
them just as liable to be enjoined as Seymour A Morgan.

Hallenkeok’s Mowing Machine. 
T HE subscriber having perfected and tested his new and 
improved Mowing Machine, now ofTers it to the public 
for the coming season, confident that it will not fail to give 
perfect satisfaction. It is,simple in construction, light of 
draft, and perfectly free from clogging. They are built at 
present for me by Peering A Dederick. corner of Bleecker 
and Franklin streets, Albany. N. Y. A large number will 
be made, and are offered to the public, warranted to operate 
well and to give satisfaction. Persons Intebidlng to buy mow¬ 
ing machines will find it to their advantage to examine mine 
before purchasing. 
For further particulars, address the subscriber at Albany.

Ketclmsu’s Improved Mowing Machine, 
WITH ENTIRE CHANGE OF GEAR, 
The only .Successful Mower notv known. 
K ETCITUM’S IMPROVED MACHINE* which we are 
building for the harvest of ’54. was thoroughly tested 
Bast season, unci fhe advantages gained by our change of Gear 
are in all respects as we designed, viz : durability , conveni¬ 
ence and ease of action. The shafts now have hearings at 
both ends, which overcomes all cramping and cutting away 
of boxing. A counter balance is attached to the crank shaft, 
which gives it a steady and uniform motion. Each Machine 
can be thrown out of gear; there is great convenience in get¬ 
ting at each find every nut, all of them being on upper side 
of the frame; oil cups are attached to all the hearings, which, 
by the use of a wad of cotton, will hold oil for a long time, as 
well as protect the bearings from dust, grit, Ac. ; the finger 
bar is lined with iron its full width, which protects it from 
wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
Ac., makes it the most simple and perfect agricultural imple¬ 
ment in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and can ea¬ 
sily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
It requires not over ten minutes to get one ready for opera¬ 
tion, there being but two bolts, (besides the pole bolts,) to be 
secured, to have one ready for us**.. They will cut all kinds 
of grass, and operate well on. uneven or rolling lands, or 
where there are dead furrows. This Machine took the high¬ 
est award, with special approbation ., at the World's Fair; it 
also received, during last season, one silver and four gold! 
medals, and various other flattering and substantial testimo¬ 
nials of approval. We have spared neither pains nor money 
to make this Machine deserving of public favor, and hope to 
be able the coming season to supply the great and increasing 
demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers, if they do (as was the case with many last 
year) they incur loss, vexation and disappointment. 
If any parts are wanted to repair any Machine we have 
sold, or may hereafter sell, they will be furnished and only 
manufacturer’s cost for the same be charged. 
[T7=- In all cases where extras are wanted, be sure to give 
us the number of your Machine. 
Warranty: —That said Machines are capable of cutting and 
spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten to 
fifteen acres per day o i any kind of grass, and do it as well as, 
is done with a scythe by the best of mowers. 
The price of the Mower, with two sets of knives and ex¬ 
tras, is $110 cash, in Buffalo, delivered on hoard of boat or 
cars free of charge.
