CORN SHISLtiERS. 



A Corn shellcr is one of the most convenient and labor 

 saving implements that the practical farmer hns in use. 

 Various machines for this purpose have been invented It 

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

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

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

 good advantage, though a man to turn, and a boy to feed it. 

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

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

 one machine will serve lor several families ot even the in- 

 habitants of a small town. 



Willis's Improved Double Operatikg Corn Siiel-

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

 used them.

AVILLiIS'S LiATEST I.UPROVED VEGKTABI.E 

 CUTTKR. 



This machine surpasses all others for the purpose of cut- 

 ting Ruta Bags. Mangel Wurtzel, and olher roots. The 

 great objection lo other machines, is their cutting ihe roots 

 into slices, which makes it almost impossible for the cattle 

 to get hold of them : this machine with a little alteration, 

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

 most convenient for ihe cattle lo eat. It will cut with ease 

 from oue 10 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 beard 

 has been so formed as to lay the .furrovr nomplctchj oner, 

 turning m every particle of grass or stubble, and tearing the 

 ground in the best possible manna: The length of ihe 

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

 Plough works wilh the greatest ease, both with respect to 

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

 of Ploughs at Worcester, say, 



" Should onr opinion be asked as to which of Ihe Ploughs 

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

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

 try Prouty & l\Ienrs, but if your land is heavy, hard orrochy, 

 BEGIN WITH Mr. Howard's.'' 



At the above mentioned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more work, wilh the same pmrer of learn, than any other 

 plough exhibited. JVo other turned more than twentysc/eji 

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

 Howard Plough turned Iwenhmine and one half inches, to 

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

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantiallT 

 made. 



There has been 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 secnieg 

 the mould board and landside together, and slreuglhens the 

 Plough very much. 



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

 sufficient for breaking up with four catlle, will cost about 

 S;o 50, and with culler «1, with wheel and culler, $a 60 

 extra. 



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

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 &. 62 North Market Street, by

 ment on the old mode of hanging grindstones. Stones hong 

 in this manner are becoming daily more in use, and wher,.ver 

 used, give universal saiisfaclion. The rollers can be aaach- 

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