A FARM of 32.5 acres, in Fishkill, Dutchess Co. Tt is partly 
high limestone land, with some rich alluvial meadows along 
the Mattewan Creek. The buildings are new and extensive—the 
fences all good, and the soil in fine condition. Increased produc¬ 
tion can be obtained from inexhaustible supplies of muck and lime¬ 
stone on-the farm. The Hudson river is six miles distant, besides 
which the villages, mills, and factories, near, furnish abundant 
market. In productiveness and position, it is one of the choice lo¬ 
cations ill the country. The beauty of this part of t'he country, and 
the variety of its scenery, make it a desirable residence. Address,

COLTON’S PATENT PREMIUM BEE-HIYE. 
A LL who keep bees, or wish to make money by buying and 
selling rights for using this hive, are respectfully invited to 
examine the principles on which it is built, and the advantage 
which it has over others. It is so constructed that you can enlarge 
or diminish the room according to the number of bees, and keep the 
comb continually covered wiih bees, so that the bee-moth cannot 
injure them in the least. It also furnishes ample room for all the 
bees to work at the same time, with boxes so arranged upon each 
side, that the comb extends from the top of the box down through 
the apertures to the bottom of the hive, so that they enter the boxes 
without leaving the comb. By removing the boxes at a suitable 
time, the bees can be made to swarm w’ithin two days, and save 
the labor of all the bees through the honey-making season. By ex¬ 
changing the boxes as fast as they are filled they can be prevented 
from swarming at all. This hive has been in use by the inventor 
and others, for three years, in which there has been made from 25 
to 150 lbs. ot pure honey in a season. A cut of this hive may bo 
seen in the December number of the Albany Cultivator for 1846 
It has taken the first premirm at the New-York State Fair at Au¬ 
burn, an 1 at all other fairs where it has been presented. The in¬ 
ventor will be at New-York city through the month of March, 
where he will wait upon all who may call, and will sell on such 
terms as will be an object to those who may purchase. After that 
time all addresses may be made to Aaron Colton, Pittsfield Ver¬ 
mont, except those in the states of Maine, New-Hampshire, Ma»- 
sachusetts, and Vermont, (excluding Rutland Co.,) which should 
be made to John M. Bennett, oi Gaysville, Vt.

VOL. VII, 1847. 
P UBLISHED monthly at Chicago, Illinois, by John S. Wkight,

Every intelligent person at the east or south wishes to know, or 
should wish to know, the condition and progress of the west. 
Therefore they should take and read the Prairie Farmer , which 
will supply them with more reliable information than they can 
obtain in any other way, unless they spend hundreds of dollars in 
travelling. . ... . , . _ . 
This is no ephemeral publication, for it lias reached its 7ih 
year and has a circulation of nearly 5000 copies, chiefly at tha 
west, and has at least a respectable standing among kindred 
publications. The matter is almost wholly original, and a large 
share is supplied by correspondents, more than 350 in number, 
from all parts of the west, which makes the paper practical 
and western in its character; and being published chiefly for 
home circulation, there is no attempt to exaggerate or deceive. 
The information can be relied upon as truthful. 
f The ylX BACK VOLUMES, stitched m covers, subject to 
newspaper postage, and the 7th, as issued, will be sent for $5; and 
there are no works published which furnish so large an amount of 
information concerning the west, or its agriculture. 
0=- Eastern and southern newspapers giving the above three 
insertions, (with this note,) in three different months, and sending 
a number containing it to the “ Prairie Farmer, Chicago, Illinois/ 
shall receive a copy one year without exchange.
