INDUSTRY AND ECONOMY, 
The Road to Wealth. 
The Farmer raises all the material to clothe Ills family. 
Why should liesell that material, and buy it back again, pay¬ 
ing tlie manufacturer a large profit, and four or five addi¬ 
tional profits, besides transportation charges, Government 
taxes, &c„ all of which he could save, amounting to half the 
cost of his Store Goods each year, by making his own goods 
at home, which is now made easy by 
ltleiulcnli;ill , s Improved Self-Acting 
HAND LOOM, 
It is the most simple and reliable Loom ever invented. 
Will make a greater variety of goods with less machinery, 
and less power than any oilier Loom. All the operations of 
weaving are performed by simply turning a crank. From LI 
to 20 yards ot Jeans or Satinet, and from 20 to 35 of Linsey, 
&c„ can be woven per day. 
BY LATE IMPROVEMENTS, Rag Carpeting can be 
rapidly woven with the Fly Shuttle, weaving from 20 to 25 
yards per day. 
This Loom will furnish profitable employment in every 
neighborhood in weaving cloth and carpeting l'orcustomers.

W© invite the attention of the Public 
to the Merits of Our 
PORTABLE STEAM ENGINES 
FOR FARM AND MECHANICAL 
PURPOSES. 
These .Machines are equally well adapted for Mills, Shops, 
Foundries, or Printing-Rooms; or for out-door purposes, 
like Farm-work, Mining, Boring Wells, &c. 
For use in buildings they are mounted on legs, and require 
no brick-work for setting up, occupy little space, are almost 
noiseless in operation. The firebox is surrounded by water- 
space, making them perfectly safe from Are dropping to the 
floor. They are adapted for using either wood or coal. 
For threshing or other purposes, where they require fre¬ 
quent moving from place to place, we mount the machines 
on strong wheels, and furnish them complete with pole for 
attaching team, and with hinged smoke-pipe, which can be 
lowered, so that they may he moved without detaching or 
deranging any of their parts. 
E W These Machines are now in use in nearly every 
State in the Union.

HYDRAULIC 
COW-MILKER. 
WANTED IMMEDIATELY—All who nre looking for busi¬ 
ness to call and examine the HYDRAULIC COW-MILKER, 
Pat. May 22, 1866, and Fob. 18 , 1868. There never was a 
patent issued from the Patent Office which has sold so read¬ 
ily as this. One hundred and sixty counties (in which the 
Company are now prepared to furnish the machines.) have 
been sold within thirty-live days, and many more engaged 
by the most cautious and prudent business men. It is a sure 
cure for aching hands ana kicking cows. It milks the four 
teats of a cow at once. It imitates the calf—draws and 
stops drawing to swallow. It milks cows perfectly dry in 
from two to three minutes. It is operated by band, dog, 
horse, or other power. One man can attend several ma¬ 
chines, milking as manvcows at once. It is simple, dura¬ 
ble, and self-adjusting. Will fit any cow. Milks three-teated 
cows as well as any. Easily worked, not liable to get out 
of order, and has proven by practical use to be more agree¬ 
able to the cow than band-milking. Call one and all and 
pass your judgment upon the most important and valuable 
invention of the'10th Century. A rare opportunity is now 
offered to enterprising men, with large or small capital, to 
make money, either by traveling or locating in city or coun¬ 
try. HYDRAULIC COW-MILKING MACHINE* CO., No.

Pruning and Hedge Shears . These SHEEP SHEARS are 
warranted to be lar superior to “ Wilkinson’s” in durat ility 
and finish. Sold by all Hardware and Agricultural Houses. 
American Agriculturist for Jan. 1868, says: “We have 
hitherto been too much dependent upon England for our 
best cutlery, and sheep shears were no exception. Hardly 
willing to trust, without the test of use, our own favorable 
impression in regard to the excellence of these sheep shears, 
made by Henry Seymour & Co., of this city, we have sub¬ 
mitted them to the judgment of practical sheep shearers, 
who are much pleasea with them, and to experts in steel 
manufactures; who pronounce an unqualified approval, 
confirming us in our own opinions.”
