The American Trades Compa-

nv. was organized November s, 1857, with
a Capital of one hurNired thousand dollars.
This Company was formed with view OF TAX
ing up inventors of small articles of general
utility, yho are unable to make independent
arrange nents for introducing their Inventions,
by an equitable arrangement with them for
their rights by purchase out and out, or by a
tariff on the articles manufactured and sold.
The inventive genius of this country has long
called for an Institution of this kind. The
American mind is so active, that thousands OF
things are invented, many of which would be
really useful TO the community. but which are
never introduced, because the Inventors of
them have no means to carry them out.
The capital of this Company will be devoted
to the development of really useful inventions.
The Company have Committee OH Patents,
whose duty it is to pass upon all applications,
and from their large experience in such mat
ters Inv entOrs have security that their in
ventons will not be miSjudged and the high
character of the parties composing that Com
mittee is n sufficient guaranty that plans and
specifications may he submitted before patents
are applied for, without any risk of advan-
tage being taken Of this circumstance, and
when desired to do so, the Company will take
out patents for others, securing for the inven-
tor all of his invention that is patentabe.
This Company respectfully invite inventors
to submit to them their plans and it will be
furthering the objects of the Company if its
officers and agents can be Of any service to
them.
Any one of the following modes is acccpta
bic to this Company:
First: To manufacture any articles for
which their machinery is adapted by contract:
the inventors receiving the articles and paying
for the same on delivery.
Second: They buy any patent which is ap-
proved of by their committee.
Third: They will manufacture and sell any
article which they choose to adopt, giving to
the Inventor such proportion Of the profits
as may be agreed upon.
The extensive building, No. % and "a
Frankfort-st,, New York, being about so feet
front by over 100 feet deep, and stories high
above the sidewalk, is owned by the President
of the Company, and is occupied in part by
all the machinery, waEeraam and offices of the
Company, where all its business and sales are
transacted.

where wheat growing has been intermitted
for meny years, under the impression that

SMUT - PICKING SEED WHEAT. = Smut
in wheat is caused by parasitic fungus
which breaks out on the ear ana decomposes
the starch and gluten Of the grain, and fills
it with a foetid black powder. Smut is usual
ly caused by sowing seed to which, though
invisible, the spores ofthe fungus are attached,
and the remedy for the evil consists in de-
stroyiAg these spores before sowing the seed
wheat. Moistening the grain with chamber
iye and then drying it with quick lime, is
perhaps the Oldest and most popular English
remedy. Salt and water instead of lye is
glse used, drying the wheat with lime as in
the former case. But the best remedy yet
discoVered is to wash the seed wheat with a
solutiou of blue vitrlol (sulphdte Of copper
For each bnshel of seed, dissolve about three
ounces of blue vitriol in one quart of hot
water. Let it cool before using. Spread the
wheat out on floor, about six inches thick,
and sprinkle the solution equally over 1t, and
then mix thoroughly with shoveIs until the
wheat has acqnired a uniform degree of
dampness. 1t will be ready for sowing in
two or three hours, but it is better to perform
the operation day or two befoye sowing.
When treated il this way, lime should not be
used, as it decomposes the Yitriol and does
harm rather than good.-Genesee Farmer
