CORN SHELLERS. 



A Corn shellcr is one of the most convenient and labor 

 savins; 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 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 it, 

 w"rks it much better tb.tn one alone. They are so light and 

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

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

 habitants of a small town. 



Willis's Improved Double Operating Corn Shel- 

 LEH. — 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 

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

 used them.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have fieen made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs; the mould btiard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furroxo completely oaer, 

 turning in enerij particle of grass or slul'ble, andieaving ths 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has he n very much increased, so that tha 

 Plough works with Ihe greatest ease, both with respect to 

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

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Plough* 

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

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

 try Prouty & Mears, but if your /and is heavy, hard orrocky, 



BEGIN WITH Mr. HoWARD-a.'' 



At the above mer-tioned trial the Howard Plough did 



more work, leilh the same p»wer of team, than any ollur 

 plough exhibited. No other turned more than twentysevea 

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

 Howard Plough turned Iwenlynine and one half inches, to 

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

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has beeii quite an improvement made on the shoe, 

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

 having to furnish a new landside; this shoe likewise secure* 

 the mould board and landside together, and strengthens tho 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from $6 to $15. A Plotigli, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost ajjout 

 *iO 50, and with cutter 41, with wheel and cutler, $2 £» 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Slurs, 

 Nos. 61 & 62 North Market Street, by 



JOSEPH BRECK & CO.

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

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

 ed to stones hung in the common way. For sale by i.
