“ Every man who owns a good Horse—the no¬ 
blest as well as the most useful of animals—owes 
it to himself to understand well, matters pertaining 
to his healthy preservation. Randall’s “ Spooner's 
Youatt,” is the greatest work of the age upon this 
particular topic.’ - — Am. Courier. 
“No less valuable than the animal it describes. 
Every man who owns or drives a Horse, needs this 
Book as much as a Horse needs a harness in which 
tope, form his labors, if he would know how to 
make his beast of the greatest possible service to 
him.”— Boston Farmer.

Unrivaled Improvement in Water Wheels fir Mill-Owners. 
R ECENT improvements in the French Turbine and Scotch Mor¬ 
tar Water Wheels, exceeding all others, even the most perfect 
Overshot Wheel, by a great percentage, has been patented by Mr. 
Henry Van Dewater. It has been fully tested, and found far in ad¬ 
vance of all other wheels, both in power and economy, or quantity of 
water required. Its superiority is established in the following points: 
1st. It gives greater percentage of the water. 2d. Is not affected by 
back-water. 3d. Is not obstructed by ice. 4th. Wastes no water. 
5th. Is more durable. 6th. Resuires less room. 7th. It is less varia¬ 
ble in its mo: ion when performing more or less labor, with the same 
supply of water. 
The quantity of water required under different heads and falls, for 
six and a half horse power, say from 5 feet to 28 feet fall, first

tories, by the use of the above wheels, and wi'l send us a statement 
of head and fall of water, and the amount of horse power required to 
drive the machinery they use, will receive immediate attention. 
[CP* This wheel is capable of driving, according to the quantity of 
water, and as the head and fall may be in height, from 6 horse-power 
to 250 horse-power.
