to furnish the above mentioned and all articles
pertaining to the agricultural business at the
lowest market rates. Having just returned
from q tour through the Northern and New
England States, where he has visited large
number of the principal Agricultural Manuiac-

this new establishment is, that the proprietor is
practical agricultural machiuist, with an ex-

qured thor ugh knowledge of this business
in all its various branches. He therefore feels
justified in saying that he can obtain and fur

terms as any house in this country.

ALUM FOR Hoo CHOLERA. Last May

some mill feed each day for two weeks
by which time all remaining seemed
healthy. Out Of twenty-five drenched
with one pint of solution to each-ad-

small end sawed Off lost five head
and with the exception of two, the re-
manning seventeen appeared to have en-

dition. Some Of those which have re-
covered, were in the last stage--vomit-

bleeding at the nose, which have always
considered the last stage of the disease
The above is but little cost, and if it is
as successful as with me, is well worth

VNHE most convenient, portable, easily work
Il ed and perfectly operating machine for
threshing, separating and winnowing wheat,
rye and oats, now in use. Though compare
lively but little known here there are about
400 OF them in use in other grain growing
districts all giving entire satisfaction.
1t is the machine (but much improyed) that
obtained the First Premium al the Montgom-
cry County Fair atthe exhibition in 1858, and
elected universal appreciation; and wherever
exhibited at working test in competition with
others has always taken the Premium.
The two-horse machine cleans in the best
manner ready for market with or hands,
from $50 to 200 bushels Of wheat per day, and
the one-horse from 70 to 100 bushels; occupies
but little space is easily moved from stack to
stack and readily put up.
For Farmers who raise from 500 to 1000
bushels of wheat and who prefer to do their
work with their own force, no other machine
is so desirable
This machine is ,oarrantcd to give entire sat
isiaction, or may be returned at the expiration
Of a reasonable time on trial.

low to Increase the Value of Cow.

Every one who owns a COW can see at
glance that it wonld be profitable to in
crease her value, but every man cannot
see how to do it. We can, and we think
we can make it equally palpable to our
readers. If a COW is kept for butter, it
would certainly add to her value if the
butier-making properties of her milk
should be improved In summer or win
ter this can be improved Just as the yielG
of a cultivated crop can be improved, by
what is fed to each and it is simply a
question of-will it pay? in manuring
one or feeding the other. Indian corn
will add to the quantity and quality of
the butter to a very sensitive degree, and
it is simply question Of easy solution,
by experiment, whether it will add to
the profit of the butter-maker to buy
corn at one or two cents pound, and
convert portion Of it into butter at %
cents a pound, or whatever TIE market
price of corn and butter may be, and
another portion of it into fat, and another
portion of it into manure, for that is the
natural result of the chemical change
produced in the laboratory Of a cows
stomach The same result will follow
any other kind of feeding. Good pas
ture will produce an abundance of milk
often as much as the COW can carry; but
does it follow that even then it will not
be profitable to feed her with some more
oleaginous food to increase the quantity
of butter, just as it sometimes proves
profitable to feed bees to enable them to
store more honey 1t certainly does APP
pear to us that the value of COW, feed
ing upon ordinary winter food, may be
almost doubled by making that food suit
able for the purpose of increasing the
quantity of milk, if that is object, or the
quantity of butter, if that is the purpose
for which the COW is kept Farmers
generally understand that they can con-
vert corn into beef, pork and lard, and
some Of them know exactly at what
price per bushel it viii pay to convert it
into these substances; but does any one
know at what rate it will pay to convert
corn or any other grain into butter, or
any other kind of feed into any of the
dairy products? Is the whole business
a hap-hazarl one? We fear so. Some
persons know that they can increase the
saleable value of butter by adding the
coloring matter of carrots to it. Does
any person know the value of bushel
Of carrots fed to \ COW to increase her
value as a butter-producing laboratory
Experimental proof upon this point would
be far more worthy of agricultural prizes
than it is to see who can show the largest
sized roots for by a few carefully con.
dncted experiments we should be able tc
increase the value of COW almost at
pleasure " y. Tribune

Keeuing Fruit.

The best method of keeping fruit was
discussed at the meeting of the Cincin-
natl Horticultural Society few days ago
Mr.. Heavier deemed the subject of much
Importance, as from certain atmospheric
causes the fruit of the present season
seemed inclined to ripen much more ra-
pidly than usual and premature ripen-
ing is uniformly attended by premature
decay. lie had found it beneficial to
gather the fruit in the morning while
cool, and then keep it in cool, airy
place, For keeping pears he gathered
before fully ripe, and allowed to mature
after pulling. The best position was in
cool, clean, sweet cellar. Fruit should
not be i'll masses, nor even in double tiers
30 as to press upon each other. Mr.
Mother last year tried two methods Of
preserving his pears, one by putting them
in oats in barrels, the other by first
wrapping in paper separately and placing
them in boxes. Those in paper and
boxes kept much the best Mr.. Buch-
anan supposed the best method of keep
ing fruit was in tin box, in a cool dark
cellar. He had now, in the middle of
August, the Virginia greening apple,
perfectly sound, of last years growth,
kept in this way in his wine cellar. Dir.
Warder said that fruit being placed in
dark and cool place nearly completed its
isolation from the usual causes of decom-
position, viz: light, heat, air, and mois-
ture, He would recommend the use of
white and certainly of clean paper Mr..
Laboyteux stated this method of packing
i'll separate papers had been practiced
with great success by those who put up
and shipped apples to Southern ATTITUDES.
One gentleman had pursued this co lrse
with great profit in shipping apples to
our Southern coast

GnE BURG" is composed Of chemically
~ prepared Peruvian Guano, Bones,
Flesh, Blood, &c, and is prepared expressly
to supply all soils, whether deficient or not,
with the constituents to produce all crops, and
ut the same time improve them; no Guano or
edmixture of Guanos can do this, as none con-
tain the requisites within themselves.
Any one Of the seven elements OF De Burg
are as important to the practical farmer as
either Of the two which guano supplies as a
proof Of this, we subjoin the opinion of DR..
DAVID STEWART Chemist to Maryland
State Agricultural Society, who inspects every
lot we receive, before offered for sale, and says
in his report to US
"De Burg compound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano."
Again There are other elements in De
Burg to which attach as much Importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and | cannot pass a
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphates are present"
We call your attention to the following Tes-
tmonials, received within the past month,
/ from well known gentlemen, nearly all Of whom
/ speak OF the fertilzing and durable properties
of De Burg in addition to its value as a crop
grower:
JAMES W. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery

1 handful to hills, on an old field, quite thin,
/ that would not have brought more than three
barrels per acre; by applying as ! stated,

same rate for oats, and they were very good
/ for tobacco, like it very much, as il grows
off quick and natures il carly. 1t does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano'-
