A Dictionary of Modern Gardening ; by George William 
Johnson, Esq., author of the Principles of Practical Gardening, 
the Gardener’s Almanack, etc., with one hundred and eighty 
wood cuts : Edited, with numerous additions, by David Land 
reth, of Philadelphia. Lea & Blanchard. 
The plan of this work is similar to that of dictiona¬ 
ries in general—that is, the subjects are arranged in 
alphabetical order. The subjects are treated in an 
able manner, and many of them are illustrated by well 
executed cuts. It is in all respects well “ got up,” 
and as a work on gardening will prove highly useful.

Remarks. —Since the arrival of the Cambria at Boston, on the 
17th, the market has been rather unsettled. A decline in Ameri¬ 
can flour of three to four shillings sterling per barrel, equal to 
seventy to ninety-two cents, had been experienced in England. 
In relation to the state of our market, a cotemporary remarks under 
date of the 18th, “there were more sellers than buyers, and the 
market was weakened; Genesee could be bought at $7.87!, and 
one lot of 2000 barrels might have been had at $7.75a$7.87|. The 
aggregate sales are about 8000 barrels, mostly at $8. To arrive 
1000 barrels sold for July, at $7.25. The orders for shipment, as 
far as can be. learned, are small, and the limits low ; it is believed 
there were no orders from England in market to day, but there 
was some inquiry for France.” 
In relation to the causes which have produced the decline in 
England, the Mark Lane Express- of 31st May observes : 
“ The chief, if not the only alteration in our favor, appears to us 
to be that the harvest, which threatened to be a very late one, may 
now be reasonably calculated to commence as early as in average 
years ; whilst there is nothing about the aspect of the crops to give 
rise to any fear as to the probable yield. This is certainly an im¬ 
mense point gained, as we are likely to have the new crop ready 
for consumption three weeks earlier than was supposed would 
be the case, which will make a great difference in the quantity re¬ 
quired to be imported. The cessation of exportation to the conti¬ 
nent has, besides, done away with an extra drain on our stocks- 
and the reaction in prices thus far appears, therefore warranted bv 
circumstances.”

HORSE POWERS AND THRESHERS. 
HE subscriber furnishes the above machines of all kinds at 
wholesale or retail. 
It indy be unnecessary again to call attention to the great supe¬ 
riority over all others for the price, of the “ Warren Two and Four 
Horse Powers and Threshers,” (which have been so very much 
improved the last year,) as the many who have purchased and are 
purchasing, testify. 
The undersigned is also enabled again to add his testimony in 
favor of these machines, as being far before any others he has seen 
or heard of, after travelling extensively in the southern and wes¬ 
tern states, and Texas, during the last five months. 
Orders for Corn Shellers, Corn Mills, Corn and Cc i Crushers, 
Plows, and all kinds of Agricultural Machines and Implements,

A BOOK FOR EVERY FARMER. 
8,000 sold in Six Weeks. 
JOHN P. JEWETT $ Co., 23 Cornhill, Boston, 
H AVE just published one of the most valuable works for far¬ 
mers ever issued from the American press, entitled 
THE AMERICAN VETERINARIAN, or DISEASES OF DO¬ 
MESTIC ANIMALS, 
showing the causes, symptoms, and remedies, and rules for resto¬ 
ring and preserving health by good management, with directions 
for traini) g and breeding. By S. W. Cole, editor Agricultural de¬ 
partment Boston Cultivator. 
Mr. Cole has spent several years in compiling and testing the 
facts he now offers to the farmers of this country. He has pro¬ 
duced a work of great value to every man who keeps but a single 
horse or cow, but to the practical farmer its value can hardly be 
over estimated. The whole subject of the Treatment of Domestic 
Animals , is treated in the most thorough manner, comprising the 
Horse, Ox, Cow, Sheep, Hogs, Dogs, Hens, Turkeys, Geese, 
Ducks, Birds, Bees, &c., &c. The whole is compressed into one 
volume of 288 closely printed pages, with 7 beautiful wood en¬ 
gravings, firmly bound in leather. To be sold at the low price of 
50 cts., in order to bring it within the means of every man. No 
pains or expense have been spared on the part of the author or the 
publishers, to produce a work worthy a place in every Farmer’s 
library. 
For sale at the office of “ The Cultivator.” and at the princi¬ 
pal Book and Agricultural Stores in the country.

I. T. GRANT & CO’S PATENT PREMIUM FAN 
MILLS. 
THE subscribers, manufacturers of these celebrated mills, hav- 
J- ing enlarged their manufacturing establishment, hope to be 
enabled hereafter to supply promptly the rapidly tncreasing de¬ 
mand for that article. These mills have been repeatedly tried, and 
the principle upon which they operate thoroughly examined and 
tested by committees appointed by the State Agricultural Society, 
and in every instance have been declared greatly superior to any 
that have come in competition with them. They have taken the 
first premium at four of the New-York State Agricultural Fairs, 
(being all at which they have been exhibited,) and at the State 
Fairs in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Our mills took the first pre¬ 
mium, at the Fair of the American Institute in 1846, and they re¬ 
ceived the highest consideration at the great National Fair, re¬ 
cently held at the city of Washington. Wherever they have been 
exhibited, they have received the unqualified commendation of ag¬ 
riculturists, and are believed to be the only mills ever invented or 
manufactured, that will chaff and screen wheat perfectly clean 
(and at the rate of one bushel per minute) at one operation, taking 
out the chess, cockle and smut at the same time. They will also 
thoroughly clean all other kinds of grains and seeds bv runninv it 
through once. We manufacture four sizes, varying in price from 
$21 for No. 1, to $27 for No. 4, and have no hesitation in warrant¬ 
ing them superior to any thing of the kind now in use. 
We also manufacture very superior Grain Cradles, which haw# 
taken the first premium wherever exhibited. 
Our Fan Mills and Cradles are for sale at factory prices at the 
following places:
