THRESHUVG MACHUVE. 



The subscriber respecti'ully ofiers to the public a new 

 Threshing Machine which he has recently invented, and 

 which for utility, cheapness anti simplicity he can recoinmend 

 to their use. 



The machine, put in operation by ahorse and tended by two 

 men, is capable of threshing grain of all kinds, whether reaped 

 or mowed, and at the same lime separates it from the straw, 

 doing the work of twelve men by the ordinary process per 

 day, without any waste of the grain- 



The apparatus by which the machine is put in motion is con- 

 nected with it, and it is altogether as portable as a horse 

 wagon. 



Its simplicity is such that it can be built or repaired by most 

 farmers at a small expense. 



The superiority of the machine over any other of the kind 

 now in use, consists mainly in the perfect maimer in which it 

 separates the pain from the head of the sheaf— every grain 

 being effectually separated — which in itself U equal to 5 per 

 cent of the whole quantity threshed. The head passes 

 through unbroken, but the grain is efl'ectually cleared. As lo 

 its capability of execution, it will thresh out as much grain as 

 the most active man can handle, and then the cradle into which 

 it passes is frequently not more than half filled. 



The subscriber has secured Letters Patent for the above in- 

 rention. The machine will soon be ready for exhibition in 

 this city, due notice of which will be given, aud rights for 

 States, counties and towns then be disposetl of.

VALUABLE ^VORK ON AGRICULTURE. 



This Day published by Geo. C. Barrett, THE CO.M- 

 PLETE FARMER AND RURAL ECONOMIST. By T. 



G. Fessenden. Second edition, revised and improi-ed bij the 

 Author, with considerabf ■> additions. 



The first edtion » as published last season, and the sale was 

 rapid beyond precedent lor a work of this kind. The present 

 improved and stereotyped impression has still higher recom- 

 mendations to public patronage, and cannot fail to prove still 

 more useful to the community of cultivators. 



This work has met with decided and universal approbation 

 from ihe most competent ,judges. Among the written and 

 printed recommendatory notices are those of the Hon. John 

 Lowell and Rev. Henry Oilman. The Editors of the 

 New York Farmer, the New England Magazine, the Maine 

 Farmer, Loudon's Gardener's Magazine, 4'C. have given favor- 

 able critiques of the Complete Farmer. We shall subjoin Mr 

 Lowell's notice, and propose in some future number to publish 

 those of the other gentlemen who have honored Ihe work with 

 their approbation. 



"Roximrtj, April 6, 1833. 



" Having perused with attention Ihe Complete Farmer and 

 Rural Economist, by Thomas G. Fessenden, Esq. in its first 

 edition, and having recently revised it at his request, prepara- 

 tory to a second edition, 1 am of opinion that it is a valuable 

 compendium and useful woik. Those who know that the sci- 

 ei.ce of Agriculture is so extensive as lo fill twelve quarto vol- 

 umes in the celebrated French work of the Abbe Rozier, and a 

 space not less in English works, will not expect in such an a- 

 bridgement full details in any one branch of that extensive and 

 varied art. But I know of no abridged work in the French or 

 English languages which conveys more instruction in so small 

 a compass than this work of Mr Fessenden.
