MANUFACTURER * 
~ OF 
PITTS’ PATENT SEPARATOR 
AND 
DOUBLE PINION HORSE POWER. 
O WING to the increased demand, and being desirous of 
locating at a convenient point for shipping, I have re¬ 
moved to Buffalo, N. Y., and have erected a large establish¬ 
ment for the purpose of manufacturing the above celebrat¬ 
ed Machines, for threshing and cleaning grain at one ope¬ 
ration. 
This is the same Machine that has stood, and now stands, 
unsurpassed by any Machine in existence for the above pur¬ 
pose. It has been exhibited at nearly all the State and 
County Agricultural Fairs throughout the United States, and 
always received the first •premium. 
The Machine has recently been much improved, enlarg¬ 
ed, and rendered more substantial in all its parts. I there¬ 
fore offer it to Farmers of the different wheat growing dis¬ 
tricts, 1o be all I claim for it, viz. the best Machine for 
threshing and cleaning grain, now in existence. 
I also manufacture Pitt’s Improved Endless Chain Two 
Horse Power and Separator—also Pitt’s Corn and Cob Mill, for grinding feed for stock. 
My Horse Powers and Separators are all warranted to be a better article than can be purchased at any other shop—and if they do 
not, on trial, prove to be so, I wiUtake them off the hands of the purchasers at the price they may pay me for them. 
P. S.—The Patent Right on the Separator has recently been extended for a further term of seven years, and all infringements on 
said right will be dealt with according to law. JOHN A. PITTS.

Great Sale of Short-horn Cattle in 1852. 
T HE subscriber, contemplating some important changes and im¬ 
provements upon his farm, will 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 
to 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 
States. 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 18-15, ’46 and ’47. 
the Short-horn blood of the late celebrated Thomas Bales, of Kirk- 
leavington, England, was resorted to in the use of the imported bull, 
Duke of Wellington, and of Symmetry, (by Dnke of Wellington, 
out of the imported Bates Cow, Duchess,) belonging to Mr. George 
Yail, 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 imported5 and that belief is confirmed by the prices 
obtained during several years past, for animals descended from 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. Slreafe 
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 ./hr cow ever bred in America, described iii 
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 Iribe 
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 nowin 
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 his ancestry, 
no bull imported in the into the United States can surpass the Duke 
of Exeter. His own stock, in the hands of several gentlemen in the 
State 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, 
thoroughbreds, 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 ail the cows, and two-year-old 
heifers will be bulled by him, (if lie lives,) previous to the sale; thus 
will be combined the blood of the Bates, and the Stephenson slocks, 
comprising as much excellence, both in milk and flesh, as can be 
found in any animals whatever. 
In addition to the slock 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. Elltnan, of Sussex. 
The sale will be on the ISth August, on the premises occupied by 
Peter Gurbrane, at the Homesteadfarm 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. 
For further particulars, inquiries may be made by letter, directed 
to the subscriber, or to A. B. ALLEN & CO., New-York.
