VALUABLE WORK ON AGRICULTURE. 



This Day nuhlished hy Gko. C. Barrett, THE COM- 

 PLETE FARMER AND RURAL ECONOMIST. By T. 

 G. FtssENDEN. Second edition, revised arid improved by the 

 Author, with considerabh 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 Hie community of cultivators. 



This work has met with decided and universal approbation 

 from the most competent judges. Among the written and 

 nrinled recommendatory notices are those of the Hon. John 

 Lowell and Rev. Henry Colivian. The Editors of the 

 New York Farmer, the New England Magazine, the .Maiue 

 Farmer, Loudon's Gardener's Magazine, iVc have given favor- 

 able critiques of the Complete Farmer. We shall subjoin Mr 

 Lowell's notice, and propose in some future number to pi>blisli 

 those of the other genllemeu who have honored the work with 

 their approbation. 



"Roxbvry, April 6, 1835. 

 " Having perused with attention the Complete Farmer and 

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

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

 tory to a second edition, I am of opinion Ihal It is a valuable 

 compendium and useful work. Those who know that Ihe sci- 

 e ce of Agriculture is so extensive as to fill twelve quarto vol- 

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

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

 bridgemenl 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 Inaii this work of Mr Fessenden.

THRESHING MACHINE. 



The subscriber respeclfully ofl'ers to the public a new 

 Threshing Machine which he has recenily invenled, anil 

 which for uiiHiy, cheapness ano simplicity he can recommend 

 lo their use. 



The machine, put in operation by a horse and tended by two 

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

 or mowed, and al the same lime separates il 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 pui in motion is con- 

 nected with II, and il is altogether as portable as a horse 

 wagon. 



Its simplicity is such that il 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 manner in which il 

 separates Ihe grain from the head of the sheal— every grain 

 being efTeelually separated— which in ilself i< equal lo 6 per 

 cent of the «hole quanliiy threshed. The head passes 

 through unbroken, bul the g'rain is eflectuallv cleared. As lo 

 Its capability of execution, it will thresh oul'as imich 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 secuied Letters Patent for the above in- 

 vention. The machine will soon be ready for exhibition in 

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

 btates, counties and towns then be disposed of.
