artisan may place his articles for sale. The proprietor does 

 not hesitate to say that among the variety of articles on hand 

 at this establishment many are far superior in their form and 

 construction, and far better adapted to the purpose for which 

 they are intended, than any others which have been in use in 

 this country. 



Thrashing Machines. Pope's improved thrashing machine 

 was invented by Ihe late Joseph Pope, Esq., of Hallowell, Maine, 

 and has been in successful operaMon in different parts of the 

 country for many years, and is found to be the best operating 

 machine for all kinds of grain that has been in use ; it is well 

 adapted for getting out rice. 



Flagg's Thrashing Machine. This machine, invented by David 

 Flagg, of New York, is very simple in its construction, and 

 not liable to get out of order ; works free and easy, and is in 

 very general use in the western part of the state of New York, 

 and much approved of, as likewise his portable horse power, 

 to which the thrashing machine is attached. 



HaWs Thrashing Machine. Hale's newly invented rice and 

 grain thrashing machines are found on trial to be the most 

 thorough and effective implements we have had in operation 

 for the purpose intended ; it is a very simple operating ma- 

 chine, and powerful and quick in its motion; does the work 

 well, separates and cleans the grain at the same time. This 

 machine must be to the rice planter an indispensable imple- 

 ment ; it requires but one man and a horse to work it. 



Marsh's Boring Apparatus, which is used to great advantage 

 in boring for water. In using this apparatus much labor and 

 expense is saved in sinking wells and reservoirs, and a great 

 supply of the best water is" obtained. While boring, an iron 

 tube is sunk to any depth you please, until a sufficient quantity 

 of water is procured. This mode of procuring a good and a 

 sufficient quantity of the best water is used to great advantage 

 in low marshy ground, and even if surrounded by tide water.
