CORN SHELLiERS. 



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 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, 

 works 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 for several families or even the in- 

 habitants of a small town. 



Willis's Improved Double Operating Corn Shel- 

 LER.- The most perfect and substantial article that has been 

 introduced lor the purpcise ; this machine can be worked by 

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

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

 used them.
