CORN SHELiLERS. 



A Corn sheller is one of the most convenient and labor 

 saving implements that the practical farmer has in use. 

 Various machines for ibis purpose have been invented. It 

 can be used in all cases for large or small sizt'd ears. It is 

 very simple in its construction, and durable in its operation, 

 and no way liable to get of order ; one man can work it to 

 good advantage, though a man to turn, and a boy to feed il, 

 works it much better than one alone. They are so light and 

 portable, as to be easily removed from place to pla~ce, and 

 one machine will serve for several families or even the in- 

 habitants of a small town. 



Willis's Impboved Double Operating Corn Shel- 

 ler. — The most perfect and substantial article that has been 

 introduced for the purpose ; this machine can be worked by 

 hand, or any other power, and will shell two ears of corn at 

 the same time; they are highly approved by all that have 

 used them.

WILLIS'S LATEST IMPROVED VEGETABLE 

 CUTTER. 



HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvemenis have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furrow completely oner, 

 turn, ng m every particle of grass or stul^ble, and Leaving the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of ihe 

 mould board has hf n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, bolh with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 ol Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" ^'"'fl'' °"'' "P'"'"" ''<= ^sked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer for use on a farm, we might perhaps say lo 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy to work, 

 try Prouly & Mears, but if your land is heavy, hard orrookv 

 BEGiK WITH Mb. Howard's." 



At the above me!;tioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more work, with the same power of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twenlysc/eo 

 and one half inches, lo the 112 lbs. draught, while Ihe 

 Howard Plough turned twentynine and one'half inches to 

 the same power of team ! All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. ' 



■There has been quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 liaving to furnish a new landsidei this shoe likewise secures 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens the 

 riough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to S|5. A Hough 

 sufftcienl for lireaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 »10 fiO, and with cutler Si, with wheel and cutter, 82 60 

 extra. ' 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail, at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store

GRINDSTONES ON »-RICTION ROLLERS. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut- 

 ting Ruta Baga. Mangel Wurtzel, and other roots. The 

 great objection to other machines, is their cutting the roots 

 into slices, which makes il almost impossible for the cattle 

 lo get hold of them : this machine wilh a little alteration, 

 cuts them into large or small pieces, of such shape as is 

 most convenient for the cattle to eal. It will cut with ease 

 from one to two bushels of roots per minute. For sale by
