THE CULTIVATOR 
April 
They were all very handsome sheep, and of very light 
bone and offal in proportion to the weight of carcass. 
Heavy Cow. —Hon. Geo. Geddes, of Onondaga 
county, recently slaughtered a cow, 11 years old, three- 
fourth,* ^short-horn and one-fourth Alderney breeds, 
which weighed, dressed, (quarters, hide and tallow,) 
1,136 lbs. She had her first calf at the age of seven¬ 
teen months, and has produced one every year since till 
1849. She was dried of her milk twelve months before 
she was killed, and acquired her fatness principally by 
grass, having been fed on meal only three montns. 
Fat Oxen. —A pair of superior fat oxen, belonging 
to John H. Boyd, Esq., of Whitehall, passed through 
this city about the first of March last. They were com¬ 
ing seven years old, and weighed alive, as we were in¬ 
formed, 4,480 lbs. They were small-boned, and of good 
form and quality. We were not informed as to the 
breed, but should suppose they were a mixture of short¬ 
horn, Devon, and common stock.

ISABELLA GRAPEVINES, 
O F proper age for forming vineyards, propagated from and con¬ 
taining all the good qualities which-the most improved cultiva¬ 
tion for over 12 years, has conferred on the vineyards at Croton 
Point, are offered to the public. 
Those who purchase, will receive such instructions for four years, 
as will enable them to cultivate the Grape with entire success, (pro¬ 
vided their localities are not too far north.) Dr. R. T. Underhill feels 
quite confident that he has so far meliorated the character and habits 
of the Grapevines in his vineyards and nurseries, by improved cul¬ 
ture, pruning, Ac., that they will generally ripen well, and produce 
good fruit, in most of the northern, and all the western, middle, and 
southern states. 
From the experience of the past season, he is fully convinced that 
where his directions are strictly followed in planting the vineyard, 
and in its subsequent management, a good crop of Isabella Grapes 
may be ripened in a very unfavorable season. All communications, 
post-paid, addressed to R. T. UNDERHILL, M. D., Croton Point, 
Westchester Co., N. Y., will receive prompt attention.

CAUTION. 
T HE subscribers, patentees of Wheeler’s Patent Horse Pow¬ 
ers, having noticed that an Agricultural Firm is advertising that 
Wheeler’s Patent Horse Powers and Overshot Threshers are manu¬ 
factured and sold by them, when in fact they have not obtained from 
us any liberty to use our patent, we hereby caution all persons that 
said Firm has no right to use our Patent, or to manufacture or sell 
said Horse Powers, and that a sale by them will confer no right upon 
the purchaser to use such Power. 
Messrs. Wheeler, Melick A Co., of Albany, and their agents, 
are the only persons authorised to make or sell Wheeler's Patent 
Horse Powers; and every such Power made or sold by them, or by 
any person having a License to do so, has upon one of the Cast Iron 
Semi-Circles, at each end of the Power, the words 
“ Wheeler’s Patent—Wheeler, Melick & Co., Makers, 
Albany, N. Y.” 
A due attention to this fact will enable Purchasers to avoid impo¬ 
sition and fraud. 
No person or firm in Albany, except WHEELER, MELICK A 
Co., is authorised to make or sell said Horse Powers.

The Morgan Horse, Young Gifford. 
T HIS fine Horse, of the genuine Morgan breed, will stand 
the coming season, at the stable of the subscriber, in Far¬ 
mington, Ct., for the use of Mares. Young Gifford was bred in Wal¬ 
pole, N. H., and was got by Old Gifford Morgan, his dam a pure Mor¬ 
gan. He will be four years old in May next, and is one of the best 
specimens of this distinguished breed. The Morgans are so well 
known and admired throughout New-Engiand, that it is unnecessary 
to repeat their merits. 
TERMS—$5 dollars for a single service. $8 the season. $10 in¬ 
surance. WM. L. COWLES.

MORSE’S GREY. 
T HIS celebrated Horse was awarded the first premium of $20, at 
the great New-York State Fair in Sept., 1850, where he was 
exhibited with a large number of his colts, and was judged the best 
stock-horse for “all work” in this country. Said horse has 1 rotted 
his mile in two minutes and forty-six seconds. One of his colts took 
the first premium at the Slate Fair at Saratoga Springs; he was 
owned by Mr. Milliman, of Washington county, N. Y.—and in all 
places where this stock has been exhibited, they have carried off the 
best premiums. He is a beautiful dapple grey, 15| hands high, 
strongly and finely proportioned. 
This Horse is a descendant of the “ Dilligence horses” in Italy, 
and brought from there by Napoleon Bonaparte, into France. His 
sire was brought to Quebec, and was then sold to a gentleman by the 
name of McNit. of Washington county, N. Y. His dam was of the 
Messenger breed. 
Said Horse was raised by Mr. J. Mills of Argyle, Washington 
county, N. Y. We challenge any horse in this Stale to show as fine 
stock as said Plorse. His colts are justly celebrated for speed, bot¬ 
tom, and good temper, are eagerly sought after in the market, and 
command prices varying from $150, to $500, and $1000. 
Terms $10 the season. Insurance to be agreed upon. Said Horse 
will stand at the stable of James Rice, three miles north of the vil¬ 
lage of Lansingburgh. All communications addressed to I. T. Grant, 
P. M., Junction, Rensselaer county, N. Y., will receive prompt at¬ 
tention. CALVIN MORSE,
