Wheeler's Patent Horse Power and Thrashing 

 Machinet 



HAVING increased facilitl for the inanuf.iet tiring of the 

 above Maohines in this city, the public led with 



them nt. short notice, at whole ale and r< tall.

iwledgedst by all who have used 



them, and having boen i itensively ua< are known to 



be durable— and are much Improved in Baverol respi 



The with these machines, has been variously 



estimated a1 fn m one naif to one-third that, with the ordiuary 

 BWeep powers. 



.Annexed is a statement of expenses of operating a two horse 

 maohine, compared with the ordinary kind as given by an ex- 

 tensive farmer in Illinois, the past season : 

 Five men in thrashing time to thrash and clean, averaging 200 

 per day for market, $5 00 



Two h 1 00 



Boarding o men and two horses, at 38, 2 63 



$8 63 

 Amounting to a litllo over 4' 3 cts. per bushel— while he >, 



nbled at all times to take advantages of prices, seasons, 8tc., and 



to do his work without being dependent upon others for labor or 



machines. 



While his oxpenfes, when ho hired machines were never less 



than the following : 

 Fur thrashing 250 bushels per day. at 5 cents. 

 Furnishing four horses of six, (2 belonging to machine.) '2 00 

 Six men. (besidec two with machine,) 6 00 



Boarding all hands and horses, 5 25 



$25 75 

 .Amounting to about 10,'a cents per bushel. And if to this be 

 added the average loss by imperfect thrashing and separation of 

 grain from straw, more than with Wheeler's Thrasher and 

 rator of not less than five per cent of grain at one dollar per 

 bushel, would amount to nearly 15% cents per bushel, or more 

 than three limes the expense with Wheeler's machine. To say 

 nothing of the delays and losses consequent upon depending upon 

 others, &c. 



Tho foregoing is but a fair statement of the expenses of the ma- 

 jority of grain-growing farmers for thrashing ; and where labor 

 and grain are valuable, these savings are well worth counting. 



All orders and communications are solicited, and will receive 

 prompt attention. HO RACK L. EMERY,

Palmer's Wheat Drill. 



THE subscribers have made an arrangement with Mr. Palmer, 

 to manufacture for the coming season live hundred oi his 

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

 now receit ing 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 pai me ac- 



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

 American Agricultural works, and by procuring copies of invent- 

 or's claims, issued or pending in the Patent OS a. He has used 

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

 tice the wants of the farmer. After repeated effort, and expen- 

 sive experiments he has produced] antial Drill, which 

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

 superior to the costly and complicated machiai , 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 cannot be carried. It 

 is the No Plus Ultra of Drills, combining all the advantages 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 ! ! (JjJ- 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.

Wheelers' Patent R. K. Horse Powers and Threshing 

 machines. 



THE attention of Farmers is solicited to the following extract 

 from a communicat'on of J. N. Rottisr. Esq.. of Lafargo- 

 ville. N. V.. June 6, 1849, concerning Wheelers' Patent Horse 

 Powers, fee 



To H. L. Emery. :— '■' The fact is, the whole of the Machino is 

 an admirable simplo contrivance, and that any improvement 

 could be made to it would seem, incredible to me, if I had not 

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

 teen years, a great variety ol Threshing Machines, Horse Powers, 

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

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

 for itself, and then I 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, &c. It is in fact the very machine 

 which should stand on the, barn floor 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." 



Woodbury's Horse Power and Separator. 



THE Subscribers, having erected extensive works, for manufac- 

 turing Woodbury's Patent Improved House Power and 

 Separator, are prepared to furnish a machine to order, combin- 

 ing greater simplicity, durability, and operating much easier than 

 any other in uso. The Horse-Powers are mounted, and operated 

 on wheels, thereby saving three-fourths the usual time in setting 

 up— and wo will warrant it, together with tho Separator, superior 

 to any in use. 



Communications for further particulars, (post-paid,) cheerfully 

 responded to. J. k. D. WOODBURY.
