FARM FOR SALE. 
T HE subscribers offer for sale the farm, late the property of, and 
now occupied by Mr. Charles Van Eps, in the town of New- 
Scotland, Albany county. The farm is located about three-fourths 
of a mile southerly from the New-Scolland Church, and about seven 
miles from the city of Albany, by a good road. It contains one hun¬ 
dred acres of land, of the very best quality for grass or dairy purpo¬ 
ses. It is a good grain farm, but is peculiarly adapted to grass. It 
lies well and handsomely, as to exposure, roads, water. &c. It is all 
in a slate of cultivation except a few acres of wood necessary for 
the farm; there is not three acres of waste land on it. The house is 
commodious and comfortable. The other buildings and fences are 
not as good as the farm would warrant, but are sufficient in number 
and size, and in tolerable repair. The premises will be sold in fee- 
free from quit or rent. Title good and terms easy. For further par¬ 
ticulars, address either of the subscribers.

Patent Fan Mills and Grain Cradles. 
W E continue to manufacture these Celebrated Mills and Cradles. 
Our Mills have been awarded seven First Premiums at the 
New-York State Fairs—three Silver Medals at the great American 
Institute in New-York—also at the Slate Fairs of Pennsylvania, Ma¬ 
ryland, Michigan and Ohio, and at a large number of County Fairs. 
They have never been awarded the second premium—always the 
first, and they stand without a rival. We feel confident in recom¬ 
mending them as the best in market. 
Our CRADLES have taken the First Premiums at two New-York 
State Fairs. We have made valuable improvements on them the last 
year, for which we have letters patent. They can be taken apart and 
packed in boxes, and put together again, with very little trouble, by 
almost any one. 
Orders solicited from, and work sent to any part of the United 
States. I. T. GRANT & CO.

Bickford & Hoffman’s Grain Drill. 
/ TVHIS drill is made and sold by the subscribers, at Macedon, Wayne 
JL Co., N. Y. Of the large number which they have sold, not one 
has failed to give satisfaction. Decisive testimonials can be furnished 
from a great number of our best and most eminent farmers, that this 
drill is more perfect as a ivhole than any other of the many good ones 
which have been used in the country. 
Since last year, we have added an IRON CASING to the gear 
ivorh, to guard against the possibility of accident; the drill tubes are 
disposed alternately in parallel rows, sowing the grain in rows seven 
inches apart, and greatly facilitating the passage of the drill tubes 
among stones and clods. They sow with perfect evenness, whether 
on a level or ascending or descending a hill. Every part is made of 
the very best materials, and with great neatness and durability 
Of the great number sold, not one has been returned, although 
each is warranted to soio all kinds of grain with accuracy and with 
satisfaction to the purchaser. Subject to this warrant, we respect¬ 
fully invite a free and full trial of the merits of this implement. 
For an editorial notice and figure of this drill, see the June num¬ 
ber of the Cultivator for this year, p. 209. 
PRICES—$65 for 7-tube drill; $75 for 9-tube drill, and $85 for 11- 
tube drill. All orders addressed to the subscribers, at Macedon, 
Wayne Co., N. Y., thankfully received and promptly atlented to, and 
shipments made at canal or railroad. BICKFORD & HOFFMAN.
