 TO THE PUBLIC — We whose names are hereunto an- 

 nexed, cerlify that we have examined Bacnelders' Paleiit 

 P.anlwff Machine, and seen it operate on several of our 

 farms in Deerfield, Oneida Cnmuy; the .seed planted there- 

 by seems well planted, wherever the ground is in proper or- 

 der, and IS now coming up ; and we believe ihe Machine 

 lully answers the descripiion given of it in ihe handbills de- 

 scribing and recommending il, and heartily concur in said 

 recommendation, believing as we do that it will pmve a val- 

 uable lai.or-saving Machine, and on good land will soon 

 supersede the labor of planting bv hand in the old and com- 

 mon method. DULPHUS SKI.XNER

JOSEPH BRECK & CO. at Ihe New England Agricul- 

 tural Warehouse and Seed Store i\os. 61 and ,".2 N'orih Mar- 

 ket Strrel, have for sale, Green's Patent Straw, Hay and 

 Stalk Cutter, operating on a mechanical principle not before 

 applied to aiy implement for this purpose. The most prom- 

 inent etfecis of this application, and some of the consequent 

 peculiarities of the machine are : 



1. So great a redaction of the quantum of power requisite 

 to use it. that the strength of a half grown boy is sufficient 

 to work it elTiciently. 



2. Wilh even this moderate power, it easily cut? two bush- 

 els a minuie, which is full twice as fasi as has been claimed 

 by any other machine even when worked by horse or steam 

 power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which they 

 cut, require sharpening less often than those of any oiher 

 straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its construction, made and put 

 together very sironaly. It is therefore not so bab.e as the 

 complicated machines in general use to get out of order.
