The bread is as good as the pancakes-(we say better) -far less trouble to prepare, and has no burnt grease about it to make it unwholesome.

AMERICAN FARMERS AND AGRICULTURAL READING.About a year ago a contemporary of ours, in writing of American Farmers, said that they were the most intelligent and enterprising of any on the globe. But our correspondent, JOHN JOHNSTON, whom no one will accuse of having any "book-notions," or of running off into extravagant impracticabilities, wrote to us very soon, that this was too much "like a minister of the Gospel, preaching is essential to progress to maintain a constant "agitation," to please sinners in order to fill the pews." We had it in mind, at this time to say that, although it as it is now-a-days called, of the means which are to bring it about, we doubt if the farmers of any other country know better what their neighbors are doing in the way of improvement, or, as a whole, read more in connection with their business, than do the farmers of the United States.→→ Then came to our recollection the warning voice which we have quoted above, and we turned back to the letter of fore being betrayed into any apparent bowing down at the our correspondent with the conclusion to think again be

shrine of mammon.

"I firmly believe," continued our friend, "that no man or class of men, will cease from doing wrong and learn to do right, until they are convinced they are wrong; and my preaching rest, dung, and lime and plaster, for thirty years or nearly, is thrown aside at one sweep, when agricultural editors tell the farmers they are so intelligent and enterprising."

We must confess that whenever a comparison in any respect between the great body engaged in agriculture here and the corresponding class abroad, tempts us into a spirit of complacency, this thought will arise, "how small the number really is here--in proportion to the whole-who read with any attention the agricultural journals published for their benefit, who regard the improvements made by least of all, who endeavor by careful thought and practical others with any effort to adapt them to their own wants,trials, to advance a step beyond their fellows, at the same time by frequent communication with them, to lend a helping hand, as JoHN JOHNSTON has so often done, toward the general good!" Some

authority on Agricultural matters-the late PHILIP PUSEY
of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, that "books
will not teach farming, but," added he, "if they describe
the practices of the best farmers, they will make men
think, and show where to learn it." More truth was never
put into so few words, and JAMES CAIRD was right in select-
ing it for the motto of his survey of English agriculture;
we could have no better, perhaps, in this periodical survey
we are making, with the pens of our associates and corres-

It was the remark of a careful observer and received

pondents, of the Agricultural capacities and wants of every part of our land.

The one resource on which we depend in carrying out the effort, is the co-oporation of those who might so much assist us. Let them not think the cry too frequent to "fill the pews;" we shall all be the warmer and more earnest if they are filled, and we shall have the more among us who are able, and becoming able, to "speak in meeting," with the voice, and personally describe the operations of "the best farmess." With our New Year's greeting to every reader, we shall put therefore the question in a frank and hearty way, "What are you going to do in the month or two to come, to help us along Haven't you one or two, or a score, or more of neighbors to bring to our mutual assistance? Have you not been doing something on your farm during the past season, the narrative of which, written out for our columns these long winter evenings, would be sure to interest or instruct some part or perhaps the whole of our already extensive company?"

Messrs. Editors," writes a subscriber from Western New York under date of Dec. 9th, "I have received your paper (THE COUNTRY GENTLEMAN) for several years, and have made money by so doing; and I am endeavoring to show our farmers that the mind, upon which all these facts and suggestions are bestowed at a loss when only the price of subscription is at stake, must be a barren mind indeed." [See "SPECIAL NOTICES" on Last Page.]

LECTURES NEXT MONTH AT NEW-HAVEN.-In our November number we referred to the project, then under way, to devote the month of February to a series of eighty or a hundred lectures on Agricultural and Horticultural topics. The price for the series is only $10, and it will, undoubtedly, be the best opportunity for discussion and the acquisition of useful information ever offered to our farmers and their sons. We remark with gratification, the expressions of approval already elicited for the design wherever it has been made known; neither those who go to teach, nor those who go to be taught, are likely to come away without receiving some benefit from mutual contact as well as from the knowledge communicated. The following is a brief schedule of the general subjects, with the

names of those who have undertaken their treatment. FIRST WEEK-SCIENCE IN ITS RELATIONS TO AGRICULTURE.

LIVE STOCK FOR CALIFORNIA.-Mr. E. FRISBIE of Vallejo, sailed for California on the 5th ult., taking with him two breeding mares-one by Consternation from a Morgan

mare, bought of Mr. Wm. Adams of Salina, and the other of Mr. E. H. Murdock of Port Byron-one Short-Horn and two bull calves, and pairs of Essex and Suffolk pigs, from Wm. Hurst of this city, and four Leicester sheep from the flock of Jurian Winne of Bethlehem.

THE ILLUSTRATED ANNUAL REGISTER OF RURAL AFFAIRS.-Not only every farmer, but every person who has a garden, and even those who have only a rod square of ground to cultivate, should have this beautiful work. It is a wonder to us how the publishers can get up such a book for "twenty-five cents." Why it's worth a "quarter" to just look through it and see the engravings. Let me urge every one of your subscribers to send you twenty-five cents, and get a copy of the book, and then try and see how many they can sell. F. F.

[ocr errors]

It may be stated by way of comment upon the above, that Fifty Dollars were paid by the Publishers of the REGISTER for one article and the twenty-five drawings accompanying it, and One Hundred and Fifteen Dollars more for the Engraving of the latter-the whole occupying only Twelve Pages! "TUCKER'S AMERICAN REGISTER," says the London Mark Lane Express, is แ carefully edited, nicely printed and profusely ornamented with wood engravings."

THE STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE OF OHIO.-Extract from a letter dated Columbus, O., Dec. 12: We have just closed a harmonious session of the State Board and State Society, of three days continuance. We have concluded not to locate our Fair permanently, nor even to hold it two successive years in the same place. The new State Board consists of the following gentlemen:

ALEX. WADDLE, So. Charleston, Clark Co., President.
Hon. T. C. Jones, Delaware, Recording Secretary.
John Reber, Lancaster, Treasurer.

N. S. Townshend, Avon, Lorain County.
J. M. Trimble, Hillsboro.
J. M. Millikin, Hamilton.

D. E. Gardener, Toledo,
William De Witt Cleveland.

H. B. Perkins, Warren, Trumbull County.

C. W. Potwin, Zanesville.

J. H. Klippart, Columbus, Ohio, Corresponding Secretary

WOOD & HURLBURT'S ENGINES RECEIVE A PRIZE.-At

the last meeting of the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society, a special committee of well qualified mechanicians, of which Ira Jagger was Chairman, reported favorably of Wood & Hurlburt's portable farm engines, on exhibition at the late Fair-as performing well, with excellent furnace arrangements, rendering them, as respects danger from fire, and in all respects, good safe engines for light purposes: a Silver Medal awarded.

USEFULNESS OF COAL TAR.--Every gardener should have a supply of gas tar-it has many uses. In the first place, nothing will destroy orchard caterpillars so instantly as the touch of a swab dipped in this substance—the slightest dab will finish them. In the next place it is the best preservative of wood wherever exposed to air and moisture. The inner surfaces of the boxes of barrows and hand carts, if coated with two or three applications of hot gas tar, will last indefinitely, so far as decay is concerned. The lower ends of bean poles, moveable frames, stakes for plants, trellises, &c., treated in the same way, will last a long time. It is incomparably better than paint. Care must be taken in heating it not to set it on fire, or a conflagration may be the result. The best time to apply it is when the wood is very dry, and is warmed by the summer sun, the pores or cracks being open, will absorb it effectually. This time of year, however, when there is no hot sun, the same result is attained for all small articles by warming them for some time near or under a stove.

SOUTH-DOWN SHEEP FOR TEXAS.-GEORGE HARtshorne, Rahway, N. J., shipped last week, for Calhoun Co., Texas, 15 South-Down Bucks. This is the third shipment Mr. Hartshorne has made within the last 12 months. The sheep have done well, and are very much valued, and no doubt exists as to their value in crossing with the Mexican sheep of that section.

BELOW is a Notice by J. J. THOMAS, ESP, well made double square or Scoch har twice as deep, at twice passing,

lished in the CoUNTRY GENTLEMAN of April 28, 1859, of the above named machine:

"SHARES HARROW.-We have given a full and practical trial to SHARES HARROW, received from PEASE & EGGLESTON, of this city. It proves to be an admirable implement for its intended purpose, It completely pulverizes the surface of inverted sod, effecting this at least three times as deep as the same is performed by the common harrow. Besides this, it possesses one great advantage over the coinmon harrow as well as over the gang plow, in that it does not tear up the sod or bring up the grass. This advantage results from the pecu liar form of each tooth, which at first presses the sod down like a sledrunner-then cuts it in the direction of motion-then throws the earth sideways like the mould-board of a plow. The inventor of this tooth has shown much ingenuity in thus combining in the proper order these three offices.

The form of the harrow is neat and perfect. Its three bars are folded snugly together for conveyance, and opened again for use, and firmly braced, with almost a single motion of the hand.

more efficiently and more than

as the square one at four times.

Every man who cultivates a farm of any considerable size, especially if the soil be strong or adhesive, would certainly pay for this harrow in one year by the work it would enable him to perform, Nothing can exceed it in preparing inverted sod for corn or for any other crop. It would effect an admirable preparation for the gang plow, in turning under a coat of manure on the top of inverted sod; and it would prepare fall-plowed ground for sowing oats and barley early in spring, in an efficient manner. It is one of the best inventions of late years for the farmer."

This celebrated implement is manufactured by the subscriber. It weighs only 185 lbs., and the price is only $15, delivered on cars or boat here. Farmers and Planters south, are requested to order in time for their early spring work. Catalogues gratis, Address, for further particulars, WM. W. EGGLESTON,

enjoyed for so many years from an Intelligent Agricultural Public, the Proprietors of the above works again desire to call attention to their Assortment of Machines and Implements. Believing, as they do, that their Workmanship and Materials, and the successful and satisfactory operation of the many thousands of their Machines throughout the Agricultural world, together with the liberal patronage so long enjoyed and constantly increasing, warrants them in saying that their Machines are superior to any others manufactured.

The low Prices charged for their articles, considering their intrinsic value as compared with those of other makers, render them far cheaper to the purchasers than any other Machines made for similar purposes, at whatever prices they may be sold. To those who have used Machines from the

ALBANY AGRICULTURAL WORKS,

or have been acquainted with their value, no further recommendation is necessary; but as there are many who have neither used or seen, or perhaps known their merits, the Proprietors would say that their combined experience as manufacturers and users, together with their long and extensive trade in Agricultural Implements, &c., and their Travels and Exhibitions of their work in almost every State in the Union, with numerous trials and tests in competition with every Competing Machine of any note in the country, enable them to produce the best of its kind in every article made by them, and to keep pace with, and in many instances to lead in the improvement and introduction of labor saving machinery.

They would also state that many times more Prizes for superiority of their Machines at Public Exhibitions, have been awarded to them than to the Proprietors of any like establishment, embracing nearly ONE HUNDRED GOLD, SILVER & BRONZE MEDALS, various articles of Silver Plate, and more than One Thousand Dollars in money, besides Hundreds of Diplomas and awards of lesser import ance, which facts alone are sufficient guaranty to the public of the value of their workmanship, as well as the execution of the Machines themselves. Notwithstanding the great variety and utility of their Machines, they have, during the past year, added several new ones to their assortment, and made valuable additions and improvements to many of their others, already celebrated for superior merit, among which may be named as new, an

IMPROVED THRESHER AND CLEANER Combined, which is of much Simpler Construction, of greater capa city, and requiring less force to propel it than heretofore with others made by them. It combines in its structure the advantages of the CELEBRATED PITTS PATENTS, which are most generally used in all large threshers in the wheat growing States. It is far superior to any thing heretofore offered by them to the public, as their extensive use during the past harvest has demonstrated. Another is

They have been thoroughly tested the past season in the GEORGIA
COTTON CROP, and sustain all here claimed for them.
Another is a

POWER CORN SHELLER,

also adapted for the Two Horse Power, as well as for milling purposes on any scale, as they are capable of Shelling, with two horses, upwards of One Hundred Bushels clean corn per hour, and nearly double that amount with additional power.

They combine all the advantages of the well known SMITH'S PATENT, which is almost exclusively in use in the corn growing States, the Proprietors having concluded an arrangement with the patentee for the privilege of using so much of his patent as is necessary for making the most perfect Sheller in use. Another is a

NEW CORN PLANTER, combining all the valuable qualities of the ALBANY CORN and SEED PLANTER, which also was of their own invention, and which has been the acknowledged leading Corn Planter for thirteen years among the hundreds of other Machines invented and in use during that time. The improvements in this better adapt it to the great variety and conditions of soils, as well as seeds, which, in these respects, make it doubly valuable, as compared with the other, while it is more simply constructed and afforded at a less price. Another is the

IMPROVED CLOVER GRATER AND CLEANER, combining the well known Rasp Grating Cylinder and Concave, with ment and in its operating parts, which secure a much greater capamany important additions and improvements in its manner of adjustcity for work, and doing it in a more complete manner. This is believed to be the most perfect Clover Mill extant-and the large sales and the general satisfaction given by them this season has thus demonstrated their merits.
