A — Shows a section of the pinion, which is a litUe larger in 

 diameter than the last— the teeth of which areepicy- 

 cloydal in Ibrm — as are those on the links working 

 into them — which is acknowledged by all mechanics 

 and engineers to be the strongest and most perfect 

 form of teeth, and works with less friction and wear, 

 as the driving surfaces present to each other a rolling, 

 instead of shding friction ; this kind of teeth, on ac- 

 count of their rounded form, work much deeper into 

 each other, and have Utile or no inclination to lift out 

 of geer. 



The last cut shows the construction of the truck 

 wheels, which are IJi inches larger in diameter, and 

 revolve on larger circles at the ends of the power — 

 giving them an advantage over the smaller wheels. 

 A section of a link is shown with the end of the floor- 

 ing attached; these planks are all one inch wider, 

 and consequently wear up by use much closer, before 

 bending or breaking under the weight of the animals. 

 As a Rack and Pinion Power,the latter has every ad- 

 vantage over the common kinds in use ; is manufac- 

 tured at a less cost ; is equally strong and durable, 

 and is more easily handled, as its weight is some two 

 hundred pounds less. 

 Either of the above kinds of Powers are ofiered to the 

 public, each upon its own merits, with a full warranty as to 

 workmanship, materials and operation, (and with a guaran- 

 tee of right of using in all parts of the United States,) sub- 

 ject to l)c returned within three months — and purchase mo- 

 ney refunded. For prices, &c., see Illustrated Catalogue, 

 furnished gratis on application, or by mail. 



The first on the list is the highest in cost, and is found 

 preferable in all cases, and under all circumstances. The 

 power of the revolving platform being applied to the main 

 shaft, by means of reels with larger diameters than the pin- 

 ions used in the Rack and Pinion powers, the stress upon 

 the se\ ernl parts is in no way as great — and the liability of 

 wi'ar or breakage, from use or accident, is removed. The 

 whole of the geering consists of less than one-seventh the 

 numlxT of cogs in the Rack and Pinion Power; and these 

 are wholly removed from under the horses to the outside of 

 the power— free from dirt, dust, &c., and always easily kept 

 in order or cleaned, which is an advantage over all Rack 

 anil Pinion Powers. This Power has also the advantage of 

 the changing of force and velocity to accommodate it to any 

 variety of work, without any additional cost or danger to the 

 geering or other parts. When the main shaft runs but fif- 

 ty-six revolutions per minute, the diameters of the geers are 

 such as to increase or decrease the velocity to two hundred 

 and twenty-four, or as slow as fourteen revolutions per min- 

 ute, when the animals (either horses or oxen) walk but two 

 miles per hour — being about two-thirds the travel which is 

 necessary with the Rack and Pinion Powers, to produce the 

 same effect. This last fact is one of its principal features, 

 and one of the greatest importance to the farmer. The 

 geering, as well as pullies and couplings, all agree, and can 

 instantly be transposed — each to each, and side to side. In 

 this power the centers of motion of the geers are always in 

 the same position to each other — requiring no guard or 

 binding track over the chain above the pinions, to keep the 

 geers together, as is absolutely necessary with all rack pow- 

 ers, and which serve to check the force of the power; and 

 as the driving faces ofthe teeth on the rack and pinions be- 

 come worn off, the loss of force increases, until they event- 

 ually stop, break, or sliji by each other. The length ofthe 

 sections or links of the chain, as also the width of the planks 

 of the flooring, are game as in Qie Improved Kack Power 



last described. With the above advantages, together with 

 the epieycloydal form of tcelli, Hilo|ited this sc-iuson in its 

 construction, the superiority of this powrr is readily seen. 



This Power is actinirahly adaplf<l IWr driving 'riiri'sliiiig

 than either of the (.thrrs here described, and which is inside 

 of Ij^ inches lo the foot, with hordes weighing loilil pnunds 

 each, and without any harness. It has also an admirable 

 arrangement for adjusting and tightening the chain, not 

 possenned hy ,-Uh,r of Vw (///crw— togi-llicr with an improv- 

 ed brake for sto]t])ing the whole inst.-mtly — all within the 

 power, and independent ofthe ban<l and jpullics, and does 

 not require to be changed, when geers and pullies may be. 

 The pulley used for threshing, with this power, is but three 

 feet diameter, to effect the same as a four foot wheel does 

 with the Rack and Pinion Power. 



In all cases the shafting of all machinery manufactured 

 by us is made to run in JJabbetted Boxes, they being the 

 most durable and perfect box in use — and not generally 

 used by other manufacturers.

 189 & 191 Water Street, New TorJc. 

 PLOWS of a great variety of patterns and different sizes 

 calculated for sward and stubble land, wet meadows and 

 recently drained swamps, where roots abound. Among 

 these plows, also, are the deep-breaking-up, flat-furrow, 

 lap-furrow, self-sharpening, side-hill, double mould-board, 

 corn, cotton, cane, rice, and subsoil, with single or double 

 wings. 



Harrows — Triangular, Square, Geddes, and Scotch. 



Rollers with iron sections one foot long, and of different 

 diameters. These can be arranged on an iron shaft of any 

 width. 



Cultivators of upwards of twenty different kinds, steel 

 tooth and cast iron. 



Seed Sowers of six different kinds and prices. 



Horse Powers — Endless chain and circular, of wood or 

 cast iron. 



TnRESHERS, with or without Separators. 



Grain Mills of cast iron, and burr stone, to work either 

 by hand, horse, or water power. 



Corn Siiellers, single and double, largo and small, cyl- 

 indrical to work by hand, or otherwise.

 with a great variety of all other Agricultural and Horticul- 

 tural Implements kept in the United States, such as hoes, 

 shovels, spades, rakes, manure and hay forks, grain cradles, 

 scythes, snaths, &c., &c. 



Castings of all kinds, for plows, cotton gins, and rollers. 



Wagons and Carts, for horse, ox, or hand.

A Productive Farm for Sale. 



THE subscriber unable to give his active attention to the 

 Farm he has cultivated for many years, offers the same for 

 sale — either the whole or a part. 285 acres are cultivated, 

 either cropped with grain, in meadow, pasture, or in prepa- 

 ration for spring crops. C5 acres are in thrifty woods. 



This farm obtained the State premium, and a full descrip- 

 tion may be seen in the State Society's Transactions for the 

 year 1847. Being in a system of rotation, cropped and seed- 

 ed, a purchaser will find all the necessary work jirepared 

 for the season, admitting of possession whenever desirable. 



The dwelling and buildings are comfortable, sufficient, 

 and in good order. 



A reasonable portion of the purchase money may remain 

 on good security. 



For other information and terms apply to Messrs. H. T. & 

 Wm. Delaflcld, Front St., New York ; B. P. Johnson, Esq., 

 Agricultural Rooms, Albany, or to the subscriber on the 

 premises, at Oakland, near Geneva.
