JUNE 9, 1852. James M. Miller, Auctioneer. 
Application need not be made at private sale, as I decline in all ca¬ 
ses, so as to make it an object for persons at a distance^ attend. Sale 
positive to the highest bidder, without reserve.

of ages and sex, consisting of Pure Bred Short-Horns, Devons , and 
Ayr shires ; South Down Buck Lambs , and a very few Ewes; Suf¬ 
folk md Essex Swine. Catalogues, with full Pedigrees, Ac , &c., 
will be ready for delivery on the first of May—to be obtained from 
the subscriber, or at the offices of any of the principal Agricultural 
Journals or Stores in the Union. This sale will offer the best oppor¬ 
tunity to obtain very fine animals I have ever given, as I shall reduce 
my herd lower than ever before, contemplating a trip to Europe to 
be absent a year, and shall hot have another sale until 1854. 
It will be seen by reference to the proceedings of our State Agri¬ 
cultural Society, that I was the most successful exhibitor of Domestic 
Animals at the late State Fair. 
I will also offer a new feature to American Breeders —one which 
works well in Europe; that is, letting the services of male an imals ; 
and will solicit propositions from such as see fit to try it. Condi¬ 
tions. —The animal hired will be at the risk of the owner, unless by 
some positive neglect or carelessness of the hirer; the expense of 
transportation to and from, to be borne jointly; the term of letting to 
be one year or less, as parties agree; price to be adjusted by parties 
—to be paid in advance, when the Bull is taken away; circumstan¬ 
ces would vary the price; animal to be kept in accordance with in¬ 
structions of owner, before taking him away. 
I offer on the foregoing conditions, three celebrated prize Bulls— 
“Major,” a Devon, nine years old; “Lamartine,” Short-horn, 
four years old; Lord Eryholme,” Shoit-horn, three years old. Pe¬ 
digrees will be given in Catalogues. 
At the time of my sale, (and I would not part with them before) I 
shall have secured two or three yearly setts of iheir progeny; and as 
I shall send out in August next, a new importation of male animals. 
I shall not want the services of either of these next year. I wopld 
not sell them, as I wish to keep control of their propagating qualities 
hereafter. 
I also have one imported Buck, the prize winner al Rochester last 
fall, imported direct from the celebrated Jonas Webb; and also five 
yearling Bucks, winners also, bred by me, from Bucks and Ewes im¬ 
ported direct from the above celebrated breeder; they will be let on 
the same conditions as the Bulls, excepting that 1 will keep them until 
the party hiring wishes them, and they 7 must be returned to me on or 
about Christmas day. By this plan, the party hiring gets rid of the 
risk and trouble of keeping a Buck the year round. All communica¬ 
tions by mail must be prepaid, and I will prepay the answers.

Esq., Hon. J. P. Cushing, J. M. Thorburn & Co., and many others 
as to excellency as a manure for flowers and trees, and the following 
from Hon. Daniel Webster, Secretary of State: 
Washington, March 19, 1850. 
“ If I neglect the annual purchase of some of this article, my gar- 
denerer is sure to remind me of it. He thinks it almost indispensa¬ 
ble, within his garden fence; but there are uses, outside the garden, 
for which it is highly valuable, and cheaper, I think, than any other 
manure at your prices. A principal one, is the enrichment of lawns 
and pleasure grounds, in grass, where the object is to produce a fresh 
and vigorous growth in the Spring. Our practice is to apply it, when 
we go to town in the Autumn, and we have never failed to see its 
effects in the Spring.” 
All communications addressed to the “ LODI MANUFACTUR¬ 
ING COMPANY, 74 Cortlandt street, New-York,” will meet with 
prompt attention. Jan. 1,1852—6t. 
Great Sale of Short-horn Cattle in 1852. 
T HE subscriber, contemplating some important changes and im¬ 
provements upon his farm, wil) sell, without reserve, his en¬ 
tire herd of thorough bred, and high grade Short-horn cattle, con¬ 
sisting of upwards of ONE HUNDRED head of Cows, Heifers, 
Bulls, and Bull and Heifer calves. 
This valuable herd of cattle has been nearly all bred by the sub¬ 
scriber, on his farm, and under his own eye, with a particular view 
1o their milking quality, which he believes he has been successful in 
developing to a degree not excelled in any herd of cows in the United 
Slates. Ever since the year 1834 he has been engaged in breeding 
Short-horns, in the belief that no cattle kept by the farmers of this 
country, were equal to them in all their qualities, as dairy and feeding 
animals, and this belief has been fully confirmed by seventeen years 
experience. 
Commencing with animals selected from the best thorough, bred 
stocks, then to be found in this country, this herd has been continual¬ 
ly added to, and improved by selections from the best imported stock, 
and their immediate descendants. During the years 1845, ’46 and ’47, 
the Short-horn blood of the late celebrated Thomas Bates, of Kirk- 
leavington, England, was resorted to in the use of the imported bull, 
Duke of Wellington, and of Symmetry, (by Duke of Wellington, 
out of the imported Bates Cow, Duchess,) belonging to Mr. George 
Vail, of Troy, N. Y., which bulls were hired of Mr. Vail for three 
years. The animals of this herd, since grown up, inherit, more or 
less, of that blood, which is believed by those having opportunity to 
judge, both in its milking and feeding qualities, to be equal to any 
other previously imported; and lhat belief is confirmed by the prices 
obtained during several years past, for animals descended front that 
stock. 
For the quality of the stock bred by the subscriber, he can, with¬ 
out vanity, refer to the recent Short-horn sales of Messrs. J. F. Sheafe 
and Lewis G. Morris, in which some of the highest priced animals 
were immediately descended, or purchased from this herd. The un¬ 
rivalled cow, “ Grace,” owned by Messrs. Sherwood and Stevens, 
and probably the best fat cow ever bred in America, described in 
pages 183 and 184, vol. x., of the American Agriculturist, was bred 
by the subscriber; and numerous animals in various parts of the 
United States, the West Indies, and the Canadas, which have sprung 
from his herd in years past, may be referred to. 
In 1850, the imported bull, Duke of Exeter, of the Princess tribe 
of Short-horns, (for pedigree of which see (10, 152,) vol. ix., of the 
English Herd Book,) sent out from England for Mr. Sheafe of New- 
York, by Mr. Stevens, from the distinguished herd of Mr. John 
Stephenson of Wolviston, England, was purchased and introduced 
into this herd ; and about forty of the cows and heifers are now in 
calf to him, all of which will be catalogued for the coming sale. In 
the quality of his flesh, and in the milking excellence of hisanceslry, 
no bull imported in the into the United Slates can surpass the Duke 
of Exeter. His own stook, in the hands of several gentlemen in the 
Stale of N. York, are confidently referred to as evidence of his value. 
The herd now offered for sale for sale will consist of about FIFTY, 
thorough breds, including cows, heifers, and heifer calves: and pro¬ 
bably ten or twelve young bulls, and bull calves. The remainder, 
about fifty in number, will comprise young cows— good. proved, 
milkers—heifers and heifer calves, together with a few superior bull 
calves, from the best milking cows, of high grade, Shorthorns, with 
an occasional dash of Devon blood intermixed—the best of useful, 
family cows. 
All the calves, or nearly all, both thorough-bred and grade, will be 
the get of the Duke of Exeter; and all the cows, and two-year-old 
heifers will be bulled by him, (if he lives,) previous to the sale; thus 
will be combined the blood of the Bates, and the Stephenson stocks, 
comprising as much excellence, both in milk and flesh, as can be 
found in any animals whatever. 
In addition to the stock above enumerated,will be eight thorough bred 
Herefords—three cows, one two-year-old bull, one yearling bull, 
and three calves. One of the cows, (Rarity,) was imported by 
Messrs. Corning and Sotham in 1841. The other cows and calves 
are her descendants by bulls of the same importation. 
Also, two or three Devon bull calves, got by Mr. Ambrose Stevens’ 
imported bull “Candy,” bred by Mr. Quartly, of Devonshire, 
England, and out of cows descended from the herd of the late Earl 
of Leicester. 
Also, two pairs of thorough-bred, six-year-old Short-horn oxen, and 
two or three pairs matched"two and three year old steers. 
Also, ten or twelve South Down buck lambs, got by an imported 
Ram from the celebrated flock of Jonas Webb, of Babraham, Eng¬ 
land, and out of Ewes descended from the flocks of Mr. Webb, and 
Mr. Ellman, of Sussex. 
The sale will be on the 18th August, on the premises occupied by 
Peter Gurbranc, at the Homestead farm of Gen. Van Rensselaer, on 
the Troy Road, two miles above Albany, where the stock will be 
about ten days previous to the sale. 
Catalogues will be ready by 15th June, and forwarded to all post¬ 
paid applicants.
