Wliceler's t^aJeiit Insju-oved Railway Chain Horse 

 Power anti Ovcrsliol Thresher and Sepei-ator. 



THE subscribers. Proprietors of the Patent for these Machines, 

 and manufacturers of them, having recently increased their 

 facihties for manufacturing, are now prepared to fill orders for 

 Machines, and to eatablish agencies, to any extent that may be 

 desired. 



These Machines are favorably known wherever they have been 

 used or exhibited. They have taken premiums at many different 

 State and County Fairs held in Massachusetts, New York. New 

 Jersey, Pennsylvania. Ohio, and also in Canada, never having 

 competed for prenjiums without success and flattering commend- 

 ations. 



As many as 2.000 of them are now in use, of which over 500 were 

 sold the past season. 



The accompanying cut gives a view of a two horse Machine at 

 woi'k. with the hands necessary to attend it. It will thresh from 

 125 to 200 bushels of wheat, or twice thequantity of oats per day. 

 The one horse or single Machines, thresh rather more than half 

 as fast as the double ones. 



These Horse Powers are strong and durable, and run extremely 

 light. With one eud of the power slightly elevated (ai^ represent- 

 ed in the annexed cut) Mc weight of ihf ho, ie a'.on affords suffi- 

 cient power to thresh at the rate before stated or to drive circular 

 and upright saws, or any other machines used by farmers, re- 

 quiring propelling power. 



THE OVKRSHOT THRKSI'K i 

 takes the grain from a level feeding lable oi a[iion -.of ^ proper 

 height to allow the feeder to stand erect anu feei: without annoy- 

 ance from dust.) and passes it through .■» t'-otheu or spiked con- 

 cave or bed. placed over the cylinder A. -ecen-. impi^v-.ment ad- 

 mits of lowering the concave so as to bring )t k'.r- er the c/iinder, 

 and at the same time so varying the iac:iaatiou c_"thr. spikes as to 

 set the machine for threshing tough (tr lam^- sixain o: short oats, 

 and re-setting it at pleasure, for long rye or wheat or jats '"n good 

 order or for timothy grass or clover ; anti all this is pccomplishcd 

 without stopping the Machine, so simple is the process By means 

 ot the Separator, the straw, as it comes from the Thi either, is effec- 

 tually separated from the grain 



The Powe)\ Thresher and Separator, complete, for either one or 

 two horses, is easily loaded on a common farm wagon ; but where 

 frequent moving is desired, the two horse machines are placed on 

 wheels in such a manner that when used for threshing, the for- 

 ward wheels are removed, dropping that end of the power, and 

 leaving the opposite end elevated on the other axle, ready to re-, 

 ceivethe horses. By this arrangement, (which has been made 

 for the convenience of those who make threshing a business, and 

 for partnership machines.) two men can with ease set a two horse 

 machine ready for work in fifteen minutes- and re-load it for mov- 

 ing in the same time. 



\V..M. & Co.. also manufacture Stalk. Hay, and Straw Cutters, 

 to bf used with their horse powers ; and also Circular Saws, and 

 Benches, for cutting ordinary fire wood, and locomotive and other 

 fuel. 



Eveiy machine made or sold by W,. M. 8c Co., or their agents, 

 is WAKRANTED to work to the satisfaction of the purchaser, or it 

 may be returned to them, or to the Agent of whom ic may have 

 bet n purchased, within sixty days, and the pixrchase money [if 

 paid] will be refunded. 



These machines are so light, compact, and easily handled, as to 

 admit of transportation tn any part of the country with trifling 

 expense. The weight of the two horse machine, complete, being 

 Irss than 2,000 lbs., and of the one horse, about 1,200. 



The manufacturers are now establishing agencies in all parts of 

 the United States and Canada, where they are needed to facilitate 

 the sale of those machines. Good agents are wanted in the South 

 ern and Western States and the Canadas. to whom liberal commis- 

 sions will be allowed. 



Our agents, as far as deBnitely ascertained, are— Rapaljc & 

 Briggs. Rochester; T. C. Peters & Brother, Buffalo; Peter R. 

 Sleight, Esq., Poughkeepsie ; F. F. Parker 8c Brother, Detroit ;

Allen^s Improved PortAble Railroad Hoi-se Power, 

 Thresher, and Separator. 



THE advantages of the above horse power, are— 1. They occupy 

 but little more space than a horse. 2. They can be moved 

 by the weight of the horse only, by placing the machine at an an- 

 ).4i' of 10 or 15 degrees. 3 They are easily transported, simply 

 ■ nn<!tructed, not liable to get out of order, and move with little 

 fi iction. 



The Overshot TArcsAei'^ consist of a small-spiked cylinder, with 

 a concave top, and possesses these advantages. 1 They have a 

 level table for feeding, thus enabling the tenders to stand erect, 

 and control the motions of the horse and machine by means of a 

 brake, by which accidents are avoided. 2 In con.'tequence of the 

 spikes lifting the straw and doing the work on the top. stones, 

 blocks. Scc-i drop at the end of the table, and are not carried be- 

 tween the spikes. 3. The overshot cylinder does not scatter the 

 grain but throws it within three feet of the machine. 4. This ar- 

 rangement also admits of attaching a separatoi high enough from 

 the floor or ground to allow all the grain to fall through it, while 

 the straw is deposited by itself in the best condition for binding. 

 5. Neither grain nor straw are broken by this machine, 6 The 

 cylinder is long, which admits of faster and more advantageous 

 feeding ; it is smaller and with fewer teeth than ordinary thresh- 

 ers, thus admitting of more rapid motion and faster work with less 

 power ; and the diminution of teeth in the cylinder is fully made 

 up by an increased number in the concave top, which is stationa- 

 ry. 7. The seperator is a great advantage in diminishing the labor 

 of raking out the straw, as it leaves the grain in the best condition 

 for the fanning mill. Three men with a single power, can thresh 

 100 to 150 bushels of grain per day; and four men with a double 

 power, twiee that quantity. All the above are compact and can 

 be carried where wanted, complete, or they may be readily taken 

 apart and packed for distant transportation by wagon or other-
