J. D. Emes's Patent Cast Iron THresliinS 

 Maclninc* 



An establishment for the manufacture of the above 

 machines, will be put into operation in (his city, of 

 which due notice will be given. They are naw con- 

 structed by Stevens & Hutchinson, at the Mechanics?' 

 and Farmers' Depository, Boston, Massacliiisetts. 



J. D. Emes's Patent Cast Iron Threshing Machine, 

 without any disparasement to other valuable improve- 

 ments, warranted equal, if not superior, to the best in 

 any country, for threshing all kinds of small grain, 

 rice and small seeds, from wheat to herdgrass seeds. 



This machine is less than three feet square, strong, 

 simple and plain, and not liable to get out of order. 

 One quarter the expense of flail strings will keep it in 

 repair to thresh the same number of bushels. 



To thresh one hundred bushels with this machijie is 

 considered a day's work ; it will, however, do as much 

 more, as the feeder can handle straw to make ; and al- 

 ways at a saving of at least ten per cent, in extra 

 grain, above that threshed by flail, or any other ordi- 

 nary method ever yet introduce*!. 



If durability, expedition, convenience, economy and 

 profit, bean object, then this truly valuable and usefut 

 machine will commend itself, above all others, to the 

 use of every grain raising farmer; being warranted iii 

 every respect. 



CURTIS BRUCE and HUDSON BURR have become 

 interested with the patentee, in the States of Pennsyl- 

 vania, New Jersey, and Delaware. Any person wish- 

 ing to see the above machine, or become interested in 

 it, will receive all necessary information by callingon
