The Celebrated Rafent Co
meal Burr Stone Mill.

TNHEsE mills are adapted for all the usual
X grinding, and may be propelled by Wa
ter, Steam, Wind or HORSEPOWER; and will do
its work with great raPidity and perfection, and
may be put up and kept in order BY almost any
person. tits perfect Grist Mill in miniature,
and is undoubtedly the cheapest and best Mil
ever offered to the public. These mills are not
made of IRON and STEEL, which soon become dull
mouse, and then cannot be sharpened again, but
of the best FRENCH BURR STONE, which is
but little affected by use, and when it does be-
come dull it can easily be sharpened by the far
mer himself.
They are durable, not liable to get ont of or
der, and can be driven with less power than any
other kind of Mills.
To tho above Mills have been awarded at diff
ferent times FORTY-SEVEN. PREMIUMS, in
Guiding a GOLD EXHIBITION MEDAL, Certificate,
and copy of the Reports of Juries by tho Royal
Commissioners of the Worlds Fair, held at Lon
don in 1851.
There are five sizes of these Mills, ranging
from Hand-Mill, to one suitable for large Mer-
chant Mills, and capable Of grinding from three
to eight bushels Of wheat Or 0orn and from six to
fifteen bushels offeed, an hour.
Any number of certificates of the utility of
these Mills, might be given, but we only publish
the following. The Mill of y r. Barb is of the
second size, and costs only 800.

Having heard many statements preiudicinl to
your Patent Concal Mills, the result of ignorance
aud prejudice, confcss was unfavcrably I'M
pressed for IL long time, until had used some
flour made by Them when was convinced thut
flour than had ever had from any other kind
of Mills. Now this is to certify that have in
my basement, No. l Buffalo street, two of
your Conicnl Mills, with which I have made
within the last four months, large quantity of
flour, from an average Of four bushels and IL
pounds of wheat to the barrel, one half of which
passed for extra in the city of NcwYorll, the
other half for superline. l have done this to
satisfy myself us to the yield I believe your
Mills require not more than one-half as much
power as the flat stones, to do the same amour
of business. They also grind cool, consequently
brighter. the tcrmentng properties Of the flour
not having been injured also having more
strength, and absorbs Il larger quantity of water
when made into bread, than Hour made by the
Nat stone. Yours. Respectfully.

The Time to PIant Trees,

Which is the best time to transplant
fruit trees? This is subject upon which
there is much difference of opinion. And
this diversity of opinion arises from the
fact that fruit trees have been planted
with both good and bad success, in near
~ all seasons Of the year. The best prac-
lical horticulturists, however, agree that
the best season for transplanting fruit
trees is in the fall of the year, soon after
the trees have shed their leaves. For in
autumn the root Of the tree is entirely
dormant, and there is no action of sap in
any part Of the tree, and q tree transplant
cd in a dormant condition will experience
little if any check from it's REMOVAL
Sometimes in the month of January, if
the winter is not too severe, the roots to
trees put forth numerous little tibres,
spOngiales which gather nourshment or
food for the tree, and consequently give
it an early start in the spring. These f.
bres are SO tender and soft, that an hours
exposure to the air will destroy them
And consequently. when trees are trans
planted in the spring of the year, these
tendrils or spongiales, in 80 cases out Of
100 will be destroyed. and it is impossi-
bic for the tree to start until the roots put
forth another set Of fibres. and when
planting is not performed in the best man
ner and the spring unfavorable, the tree
must Of necessity delay its growth, until
The hot month of August, and indeed
very frequently dies. But if tree is
transplanted in the fall Of the year soon
after the shedding of the leaves. all those
tendrils or spongales which are formed
during the winter, are ready for action as
soon AS the cold frosts bids farewell to
spring. And thus, this tree starts early,
and grows proudly. while the tree planted
in the spring struggles to regain new set
of fbrcs, and very frequently, under I'M
favorable circumstances. dies before it at
tains to that condition.

FARMERS CLUBS.

Among the best instrumentalitics to
awaken interests in the improvement OF
our modes Of cultivation, there are none
that stand higher than the one named at
the head Of this article. A few words as
10 the uses Of these associations and their
mode of action. may not be thrown away.
Every farmer has peculiariIies in his man
Hyement OF each branch of his calling,
and for every one Of his peculiarilies, if
he is a sensible man, he has a reason that
to him is abundantly satisfactory. He is
confident tina: it his neighbor would fol-
low his mode of cultivating crop or rear
ing an animal, he would be greatly beue-
fitted, and eminently more Successful
than he is to follow his own. While his
ncighbor believes the same precisely in
regard to him. Let these two men. with
half dozen others who hold all shades
OF opinions on the points where the two
differ, meet to discuss the mooted ques-
tiUns, and there are q hundred chances to
one that the opinions and practice Of eve
ry mau in the room would be modified
and improved. In the present unsatis~
factory condition Of agricultural science,
next to long series OF carefully conduc-
ted. we'll arraigned. detailed experiments,
there is nothing so much TO be desired as
a bringing out Of opinions, and compari-
ton OF the practices of practical men,
And we can conceive of no means SC
well calculated to do it as a pleasant
neighborhood gathering of farmers of an
evening, 10 talk over the modes of prac>
lice pursued by them individually in re.
ference to some particular subject to which
the evening is devoted. There need be
no Formally or speech making; let it be
entirely conversational meeting, and 6
record kept of the mode advocated by
each person. in order to give some value
and PerPetuity to the discussion.
Our word for it, dozen farmers in any
town who will meet and start some sub
ject to be discussed, as for instance the
best mode OF harvesting Indian corn
whether to cut it to the ground or cut tn,
stalks and leave it ripen on the hill the
best time to plough sward land for corn
and a thousand other things where mer
differ, will soon find that the loss of din.
ner will be preferred to missing the meet,
ing Of the club.
And no dozen men can get together
and pass one evening in two weeks through
the winter and discuss questions upon
which they are all we'll informed, without
giving and getting more useful knowledge
than they suppose every one Of them
will find his views more or less changed
or will have the satisfaction Of seeing thai
his neighbor has changed his practice
We have seen the working of an institu,
ton Of this sort, and can instance indi-
vidual and aggregate practice wonderful.
~ improved through its influence, and
nrr confident that none of the members oil
that body regret the time and trouble in
vested in the Farmers Club.

EFFECTS OF HEAT UPON MEAT.-A we'll
cooked piece of meat should be full of its
own juice or natural gravy. In roasting,
therefore. it should be exposed to quick
fire. that the external surface may be
men to cOagulate. before the juice has had
time TO escape from within. And so in
boiling. When piece of beef or mutton
is plunged into boiling water. the outer
part contracts, the albumen which is near
the surface coagulates, and the internal
juice is prevented either from escaping
into the water by which it is surrounded
or from being diluted or weakened by the
admission OF water among it. When cut
up, therefore, the meat yields much gra-
w, and is rich in flavor. Hence beef
steak or mutton chop is done quickly, and
over quick fire, that the natural juices
may be Estaincd. On the other hand, if
the mead HE exposed to slow FIRE its
pores remaih open, the juice continues to
flow from within. rs it has dried from the
surface. and the flesh pins, and becomes
dry, hard, and unsavory. Or if it be put
into cold or tepid water, which is after.
wards gradually brought to boil. much
Of The albumen is extracted before it CO.
agulates, the natural juices for the most
part flow out. and the meat is served near
ly in a. tastless state. But to make beef
tea, mutton broth, and other beef SOUPS,
the flesh should be put into cold water,
and this afterwards very slowly warmed,
and finally boiled. The advantage de-
lived from simmering. term not unfre-

operation for me, and can assure you that it
more than sustains your recommendations, as l
have ground FOUR bushels of Corn into fine meal
in less than fifty minutes, and believe that
corn in an hour. Two horses will do a tolcrablc
business, but three or four will do better, Ny
customers generally, are we'll pleased with the
meal thev get from my mill, and say that it is
superior to any that they have ever had from any
other mill. l am fully satisfied that if the val
of these mills was generally known, that they
would soon go into general use. They can be
kept in order by almost any person. will just
say that my opinion in regard to those mills,
corresponds with tho certificates from many 9TH
