CORN SHGIiLKKS. 



A Corn shellcr is one of the most convenient and labor 

 saving implements that the practical farmer has in use. 

 Various machines for this purpose have been invented. It 

 can be used in all cases for large or small sized ears. It is 

 very simple in its conslructiini, 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 it, 

 W!>rks it much better than one alone. They are so light and 

 portable, as to be easily removed from place lo place, and 

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

 habitants of a small town. 



Willis's Improved Double Operating Corn Smel- 

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

 introduced for the purpose ; this machine can be worked by 

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

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

 used them.

CUTTKR. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut 

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

 great objection to other machines, is their culling the roots 

 into slices, which makes it almost impossible for the cattle 

 lo get hold of ihem: this machine with a little alteration, 

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

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

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

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH, 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould heard 

 has been so formed as to /ai/ the furrmo completely ooer, 

 tnrnmg in every particle of grass or stubble, andieavin^ the 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

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

 Plough works with the greiktest ease, both with respect to 

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

 of Ploughs at Woreester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

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

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

 try Prouty & Mears, hut if your land is heavy, hard orrocky, 

 BEGIN WITH Ma. Howard's.'" 



At the above mentioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more irorky with the same pawer of team, than any other 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more ihan Iwentyso/eji 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Hoioard Plough turned ticentunine and one half iniJies, 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 laud side of this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having lo furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secures 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens tlie 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Sl5. A Plough, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four callle, will cost about 

 810 60, and with culler Si, with wheel and culler, S2 60 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by

GRINDSTONES ON FRICTION ROLLERS. 



Grindstones of different sizes, hung on friction rollers and 

 moved with a foot treader, is found to be a great improve- 

 ment on the old mode ofhanging grindstones. Stones hung 

 in this manner are becoming daily more in use, and wherever 

 used, give universal satisfaction. The rollers can be attach- 

 ed lo stones hung in the common way. For sale by J. 

 BRECK ii. Co., No. 61 Norlh Market street.
