Wheelers' Patent R> R. Horse Powers and Threshing 

 Machines. 



THE attention of Farmers is solicited to the following extract 

 from a communication of J. N. Rottif.r. Esq., of Lafarge- 

 ville. N. Y.. June 6, 1849. concerning Wheelers" Patent Horse 

 Powers. &c 



To H. L. Emery :— "The fact is. the whole of the Machine is 

 an admirable simple contrivance, and Unit any improvement 

 could he made to it would seem, incredible to me. if I hud not 

 your word for it. Practically a farmer. I have used these four- 

 teen years, a great variety oi Threshing Machines. Horse Powers. 

 &c. but with none am I as well satisfied as with yours, purchased 

 of you two years since. One year more and mine will have paid 

 for itself, and then 1 would not take' $200.00 for it. and do without 

 another like it. With a change of horses in the afternoon and 

 hands enough to stack or take away the straw, I believe I can 

 thresh with it as much per day as with any large six horse 

 machine, and with as much ease for the horses. But then we 

 do not want all the neighbors to help us. as three of us generally 

 thresh from ten to twelve hundred sheaves in a day. beside taking 

 care of a large stock of cattle, fkc. It is in fact the very machine 

 which should stand on the barn floe- of every farmer, or where 

 the farm is not large enough, two or more farmers should join 

 and own one together— change works and do their own thresh- 

 ing. J. N. R.»

ALL THE \ 1LUABLE mTORMATIOH 

 Known at the present time, relative, to 



FRUITS AND FRUIT CULTURE. 



It will cont/iin more than 



THRBE HUNDRED ACCURATE l\N(;k w ini;s. 

 And will include condensed and full descriptions Of all frolta of 

 merit or celebrity cultivated or known in the country, 



To prevent confusion in a numerous list of varieties, careful at- 

 tention has for years been given to effect the clears nol systematic 

 arrangement adopted in this work; and further to enable the reR- 

 der to kuow at a glance, the various grades of excellence, the 

 quality Is designated by the size of the type used for the name 



The numerous figures of fruits are 



EXACT IMPRESSIONS 

 Of average specimens. The descriptions have been prepared in 

 nearly every case, from the fruits themselves ; and to distill 

 fixed from accidental characters, careful comparison has be$p ex- 

 tensively made with specimens from several different state', and 

 with the descriptions in the best American works on Fruits. 



To determine the qualities as adapted to different regions. a«i<- 

 tance has been largely furnished by a number of the most eminent 

 pomologists of the Union.

Palmer's Wheat Drill. 



THE subscribers have made an arrangement with Mr. Palmer 

 to manufacture for the coming season five hundred of his 

 new Wheat Drill, to be be sold in Western New-York. They are 

 now receiving orders for them, and relying upon heavy sales, have 

 determined to sell them at a small profit— at least twenty-five 

 dollars less than any other drill capable of performing as much. 

 The Drills are constructed under the immediate direction of the 

 inventor, and Warranted. 



An agricultural implement as important as this should be afford- 

 ed at a rate that places it within the reach of every farmer. To 

 accomplish this Mr. Palmer has spared no pains to become ac- 

 quainted with all the Drills in use by consulting both English and 

 American Agricultural works, and by procuring copies of invent- 

 or^ claims, issued or pending in the Patent Office. He has used 

 different kinds of drills for the past years, and has learned by prac- 

 tice the wants of the farmer. After repeated efforts and expen- 

 sive experiments he has produced a simple, substantial 1 ".ill. which 

 by way of eminence he calls a " WHEAT DRILL." It is vastly 

 superior to the costly and complicated machines heretofore in use. 

 This is the third Drill he has invented, and he has now brought it 

 to that state of perfection beyond which it cann-.t be carried. It 

 is the Ne Plus Ultra of Drills, combining all the advantage- of 

 every other, and free from their imperfections. 



We challenge the world to produce a Drill equal to this in du- 

 rability, operation or price ! '. fJ(J= All orders should be sent in or 

 delivered to one of our agents as early as July to secure atten- 

 tion. J. A. HOLMES &. CO.
