T HIS Nursery now contains many thousand fine trees, of large, 
handsome, and thrifty growth, consisting of Apples, Pears, 
Peaches, Cherries, Apricots, &e., of the best standard sorts, as well 
as the finest only of new and newly introduced varieties; all of in¬

an 1 herbaceous perennial plants, will be furnished at very moderate 
prices. 
Trees for canal and railroad conveyance, will be well packed in 
bundles, enclosed in strong mats, with the roots mudded and enca¬ 
ged in wet moss, so as perfectly to preclude all danger of injury.

GRANT’S PATENT FAN-MILLS. 
T T GRANT & CO, J unction, Rensselaer county. N. Y , conti- 
nue to manufacture tiiese celebrated mills. They have been 
awarded five first premiums at the New York State Fairs and the 
Fairs of other Stales, 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 Iasi 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 
fanners, 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 mustaid seed. We have lately made 
some valuable improvements m the article, though the price re¬ 
mains as before. Our agents are H. L. Emery, Albany; G. S. &

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 il 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. BURR ALL.

GREATEST IMPROVEMENT OF THE AGE. 
Smith's Lever Drill. 
P-tented November 4, 1848, to H. W. SMITH. 
THE advantages of this machine as fully established by use and 
experiment, are 
1.—A saving ot 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 winch it can be set or altered by a regulated index 
and guage to drill or plant any given quantity of gram per acre, at 
any given depth. 
These machines are now being made at Syracuse. 
County rights to man faciurers sold on reasonable terms.

THE PLOW, 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 byJ. 8 . 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 Fanner and the Planter, that encourage¬ 
ment and preft rence of American over foreign labor, in every 
brach of industry for winch we have the climate and materials, is a 
question winch 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 k plow , but how and by what 
policy we can have the greatest number of thriving consumers, de¬ 
manding heie at home, the products of the plow. In a word* 
“ The Flow, the Loom, and the Anvil,” is designed to show 
that, instead of a precarious dependence on ever fluctuating and 
uncertain foreign 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 lie, 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 pairiotic 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 views will read at¬ 
tentively and judge as impartially as fixed opinions will allow, 
i r 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 friei.ds 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.
