WriKELER'S HORSE POWER AND COMBINED THRESHER AND WINNOWER.' 



ITEW YORK STATE AGRICULTTJEAL WORKS, 



BY WHEELER, MELICK & CO, ALBANY, N. Y. 



THE subscrilKis ;iro now making for tlic trade of 1854, a much 

 larger number of all articles in their line than they have in 

 any previous year, and have made several improvements which will 

 raise their Maeliines still higher in the public estimation. 



As the limits of an advertisement will not admit of an explana- 

 tion of all the advantages of our Machines, and as most of them 

 »re so well known as to need no commendation, we will make this 

 Btatement brief, and for more detailed information we refer to our 

 printed catalogue, which will be sent by mail, postage free, when 

 requested. 



As we give our entire attention to the improving and manufac- 

 turing of Horse Powers, Threshing Machines, and a few other arti- 

 cles, we feel warranted in assuring the puWic that they will find 

 each of the following Mo.chiues unsurjiassed : 



^VHEELiER'S 



PATENT RAILWAY CHAIN HORSE POWERS. 



These Powers (repreneutrd ia the above cut) ai-e unrivaled for 

 driving all kinds of Farmei-s', Planters', and other Machinery, which 

 admits of being driven by Horse Power. They are made for either 

 one or two horses, and tiieir superior merits, in point of durability, 

 strength and ea.se of running, are fully established ; while their 

 compactness and simplicity, lightness and greater length and width 

 of treading floor and stall, give them ad%'antages over other Powers, 

 which are highly a|jpreciated by those who have tried them. 

 Several thousands of them are in use, some of which have threshed 

 over 100,000 bushels; and though our present Powers are much 

 improved over the old ones of the same kind, yet the latter are 

 still good. Over 1,000 of them were sold by us and our agents the 

 pa.«t season (a larger number than in any previous year), thus 

 proving their increasing popularity. 



WHEELER'S 



PATENT COMBINED THRESHER AND WINNOWER. 



This Macliine (also represr-ntiMl in the cut) is a late invention. It 

 was got out three years ago, .ifler a long series of experiments re- 

 sul:ing in a Machine which performs the three operations of 

 Threshing, Separating and Winnowing, with as much dispatch, 

 and with as few hands and horses, as are required to thresh and 

 se)'arate only with other Machines; and although designed for so 

 complicated work, it is yet a model of simplicity and compactness. 

 Th>' entire running parts are driven by the main belts and one small 

 band. We have no doubt it is the most perfect Machine in use for 

 th'-ishing and winnowing. Driven by two horses, they thresh and 

 clem from 150 to 200 bushels of wheat, or twice that quantity of 

 oa1-\ per day. Wc give below a notice of it from the Valley Farmer, 

 published at St. Louis, Mo., and also two letters from gentlemen 

 who have the Machines in use, showing the estimation in v.-liich 

 they are held, premising that these two are about an average of 

 many other similar letters which wc can show : 



[From the Valley Farmer of August, 18-5.3.] 

 '• Wheeler's CoMnixED Trrkshkr and Winnower. — We take 

 plcisure in laying before our readers the following extract from a 

 letier just received by us from a very rospecfable individual in Cape 

 Girirdeau county. Mo., to whom we sold one of these Machines 

 about a week ago, with the understanding that if it did not work 



to his satisfaction he could return it to St. Louis at our expense 

 It will be recollected that the manufacturers warrant thciC Machine* 

 to thresh and clean from 150 to 200 bushels of wheat per day, or 

 twice that quantity of oats : 



'Apple Creek, Mo., .luly 18, 1853. 

 Mr. E. Abbott — Pear Sir : — ^I have tried my Thresher and Win- 

 nower, and it has given entire sati.sfiiction. I have moved the Ma- 

 chine one mile, set it up, and threshed two hundred and forty-two 

 bushels of wheat in one day, and have threshed forty bushels in an 

 hour. It works finely, and is considered the best JIachine to thresh 

 and save grain in South-ea.st Missouri. IT CAN'T (JO BACK TO 

 ST. LOUIS. I think I shall thresh from 8,000 to 10,000 bushels oi 

 wheat this season. Yours, truly, James F. Colyer.' " 



Another gentleman, to whom we sold our Double Power and 

 Combined Thresher and Winnower, writing to us fiom Orange Co., 

 N. Y., under date of December 9th, 1853, says : 



" I have received the Machine, and used it, and it gives the v( rj 

 best of satisfaction that could be exp'ected. 



Yours, truly, Henry J. Howe." 



Having sold between 300 and 400 of the Winnowers during th« 

 past season, we could, if space permitted, give many other testi- 

 monials to their utility, but the above must suffice. 



\l'HEEL.EirS 



O'T'ERSHOT THRESHER AND SEPARATOR. 



This Machine is also our own invention, and has been ia use ^?, 

 or 14 years, and its many advantages are appreciated by other jnnnu- 

 farturers, as well as tlie farming public. Driven by our Doui::' 

 Power, it threshes and separates from the straw from l-'iO to L'liO 

 bushels of wheat, or twice as much oats, per day. For the Sim-lo 

 or One Horse Power we make a sm.aller Thresher and SeparaU.r, 

 which threshes from V5 to 100 bushels of wheat per day. Tlie small 

 Machine is adapted to moderate sized farms; and as the Sir.gle 

 Power is sufficient for sawing wood, churning, cutting stalks, stiav,, 

 &:c., and driving almost every kind of machinery used by faiUK r,, 

 and is cajiable, by changing horses and elevating the power propeil \-, 

 of threshing much faster than we slated above, it is a very pojiuliir 

 Machine in some sections. We would also call esj ecial alti-ntion 1u 

 our Clover Hullers, Portable Saw Mills, and St;ilk and Straw Cii?- 

 ters, either of which is adapted to both our Double and Sinu'ls 

 Powers : 



[[t^ All our Machines are WARRANTED to give entire sa:i 

 faction,. or they may be returned at the expiration of a reason^.; :., 



time for trial.
