PREMIUM CLOVER SEEL) MAClll.N'E. 



THE subscriber has recently invented a new and 

 simple mode of hulling and cleaning CLOVER 

 SEED, by which the tedious, expensive, and trouble- 

 some process now in use is entirely avoided. The 

 MACHINE for the purpose combines great lightness 

 and simplicity, with strength and durability. Its origi- 

 nality, and the astonishing rapidity with which the 

 seed is cleaned, depend chiefly on the use made ofthe 

 currents of air raised on the face of a revolving cylin- 

 der armed with iron teeth. Ry a very simple arrange- 

 ent the chaff containing Seed, in passing over the cy- 

 linder, is winnowed, and all the light cliafl', leaves, dust, 

 &c.are blown away. It then falls into the bed ofthe Ma- 

 hine, where the seed is whipped out lightly, without 

 ubbing or grinding. When separated from the hull 

 it falls through a screen into a fan, while the chafl'is 

 carried over the cylinder and discharged. In this way 

 most of the uncomfortable dust of other machines is 

 avoided, as the hull is merely broken, but not reduced 

 to a powder ; the Machine is kept free from clogging, 

 works with a light and even motion, and requires less 

 than one fifth part of the power necessary to other 

 modes of hulling. No heat is raised, and not a seed 

 is wasted or injured. 



The subscriber ofl"ers Rights to the above Machine 

 for sale on liberal and easy terms, by Town, County, 

 or State. He will also furnish Machmes on reasonable 

 notice, warranted to clean from six bushels to three 

 /niii of clean Seed in twenty-four hours, according to 

 (he size required. The hand Machines are of the 

 size of a common fanning mill, and easily worked. — 

 The largest size require a moderate water power.

RECOMMENDATIONS. 

 The Committee of the Agricultural Society for 

 awarding the Premium on the best Machine for Thrash- 

 ing and Cleaning Chrer Seed, have awarded said Pre- 

 mium to Thomas D. Burrall, Esq. of Geneva. 



The Committee are unanimously of opinion, that Mr. 

 BurralPs Clover Machine, with reference to the moder- 

 ate expense of building, durability, the power required 

 to work it, the quantity of Seed cleaned in a given time, 

 and the style of performance, is decidedly superior to all 

 other Clover Machines with which they are acquainted

 Annual Fair, Canandaigua, Oct. 28, 1823. 

 We hereby Certify that we have examined Mr. 

 Burrall's Machine for Hulling and Cleaning Clover 

 Seed, and have seen it in operation by horse-power. 

 Its motion is light and smooth, and it cleans with ease 

 rising of onfi anrf a half bushels 'per hour. The work 

 is perfectly well done : no Seed is injured or wasted. 

 it is simple and durable, and we think it decidedly su- 

 perior to any other Machine for the purpose with 

 which we are acquainted.

 Genera, October, 1823. 



The subscriber has pleasure in adding his testimony 

 to the merits of the Clover Threshing and Cleaning 

 Machine invented by Thomas D. Burrall, Esq. of Ge- 

 neya. He has no hesitation in saying that he considers 

 it preferable to any Clover Machine now in use, and 

 that it is calculated to be an important aid in advanc- 

 ing the interests ofthe agricultural community.
