Patent Improved Railroad Horse»Power and 

 Overshot Thresher and Separator. 



fT^HIS Power & Thresher, which has been so long before the 

 X public, and given such perfect and universal satisfaction, 

 has met with such a constant and rapidly increasing sale, that 

 other manufacturers sometimes adopt headings similar to those 

 of my advertisement — and, in some case3. parts of the advertise- 

 ments 'themselves — which, if not observed, may lead to mistakes, 

 and pux-chasers may get. instead of the machine which has earn- 

 ed tbe reputation, one of a different construction. 



The machine has been much improved, and no pains or^expense 

 is spared to make it in the most thorough and durable manner, 

 as we have the greatest facilities as to power, room and materials 

 at our command. It is the cheapest, simplest, most durable and 

 portable set of machinery for the purpose in use, and warranted 

 in every case to give satisfaction to the purchaser. For further 

 particulars see my advertisements in the agricultural papers of 

 the United States and Canada. Catalogues and circulars fur- 

 nished gratis on application by mail.

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-Yoik. 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 th« 

 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 "I in , . ::r- 

 or's claims, issued or pending in the Patent Office. He ha ■ 

 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 Drill, which 

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

 superior to the costly and complicated machines hei a i in use. 

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

 to that state ot perfection beyond which it cannot be carried. It 

 is the Ne Plus Ultra of Drills, combining nil 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 ! ! Q(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
