NEW YORK STATE 

 AGRICirLTURAL WORKS, 



ALBANY, N. Y., 

 By "Wlieeler, Melick, & Co. 



THE subseribers, in onler to meet the rapidly increasing 

 demand for tlieir Horse-Powers and Tljreshers, and com- 

 bined Tliresliers and Winnowers, and otiier machines, 

 have recently added to tlieir manufactory a commodious 

 Furnace, so that every article of importance used in the 

 construction of their machines, is now made under their 

 Immediate inspection. They are thus enabled to assure 

 their customers that their worli is of the most perfect char- 

 acter, both in workmanship and in the quality of the mate- 

 rials used ; and in this respect, as well as in all other desi- 

 rable qualities, they invite comparison of their agricultural 

 machines with any nlhers in the world. 



Among the articles we make, are — 



W/ieeler\s Patent liaihoai/ Chain JTorse-Power, mid 

 Overshot Thresher and Separator, for either one or two 

 horses. 



Wlteeler's Patent Combined Thresher and Witi/nower, 

 worked by only two horses. 



Wh^eler\s Clover Iluller, Straw and Stalk Cutter, Cir- 

 cular SiniyMiUg, Horse Powers geered for churning In 

 large dairies, &c., &.o. 



With the exception of the Combined Thresher and Win- 

 nower, (which is a new invention of last year,) our ma- 

 chines are so widely known as to need no commendation. 

 It is sufBcient to say that every article made by us is war- 

 ranted to give satisfaction, or it may be returned after a 

 reasonable trial. 



THE COMBINED THRESUEE AND WINNOWER 

 was introduced into the market toward the close of last 

 season, and is in exceeding high favor. We entertain no 

 doubt that it is the most perfect, compact, and efficient ma- 

 chine now in use for threshing and winnowing grain, and 

 it certainly is far the cheapest and most economical. 



In our former advertisements in the April and May num- 

 bers of this journal, we gave numerous letters from persons 

 who, having used the Winnower, express the highest ap- 

 probation of it-s merits. Since then we have received other 

 testimonials of its excellence from gentlemen in ditferent 

 States of the Union, but we have space for only the two 

 following : 



From T. Matters, Esq., of Shop Spring, Tenn., dated 

 Jime 24, 1852. 



" Messrs. Wifbeleb, Meuck, & Co. — I have just returned 

 from W. T. Waters, whose Thresher and Winnower was 

 put in operation this morning. He is as well pleased with 

 it as he anticipated. He can dispose of it at cost, and 

 thinks he will do so, and order another machine from you. 

 My own machine has not arrived." 



From W. T>. Bacon, of Wisconsin, dated July 2, 1852. 



" Messrs. Wheei-er, Melick, & Co. — I am using to-day 

 the Tliresher and Winnower you sent me, and it far exceeds 



my expectations in the perfect manner in which it performs 

 its work. I have had several gentlemen witness its opera- 

 tion, and ail concur that it is an extra machine." 

 We could add others equally flattering if space permitted. 



'p&~ Price of Double Power, with Combined Thresher 



and Winnower, $225 



Price of Thresher and Winnower without Power, 115 



DOUBLE POWER AND OVERSHOT THRESHER 

 AND SEPARA.TOR. 



The superiority of Wheeler's Patent Railway Chain 

 Horse-Power, and Overshot Thresher and Separator is uni- 

 versally acknowledited. Thousands of them are in use, 

 many of which have threshed from 50,000 to 100,000 bush- 

 els of gi'ain, and are still in good condition. Probably more 

 than four times as many of these machines were sold du- 

 ring last year as of any other kind. They arc beyond 

 doubt the most durable and economical machine in use. 

 Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as well at 

 the New York and Pennsylvania Fairs as on several pri- 

 vate occasions in competition with another machine made 

 in this city which has been advertised to be far superior to 

 ours, and in every instance the result has been about one- 

 Vtird and in some instances more in favor of our machines. 

 In every case except one, where we have submitted our 

 machine to a working test at Fairs, it has taken the high- 

 est premiums; and in that excepted case the committee 

 decided that our machine performed its work in 8 minutes 

 and its competitor in 11^^ minutes, being nearly one-third 

 in favor of ours. 



We have also exhibited ours in competition with the 

 same machine at the State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan, and 

 Pennsylvania, and also at the Provincial Fair in Upper 

 Canada, at all of which we received the highest premiums, 

 viz : In Ohio, a Silver Medal and Diploma ; in Michigan, 

 $20; in Pennsylvania, $10; and in Canada, a Diploma" 



We have numerous similar testimonials from oounty Soci- 

 eties, where we have always received tho highest premiums 

 awarded to Chain Powers.
