AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 



The Agricultural Wurchouae li.is been esiablished 

 in Boston about seventeen ycurs, and has become so ex. 

 tensive and of so tnucli irniiorlance to the community, hs 

 to induce the proprielors to continue anil extend it in all 

 its various branches for the aiconimodation of experi- 

 mental and scientific Farmers, by the inlrodtiction of 

 new and useful im|jlements of Husbandry, and lo fur- 

 nish the practical firitier wilh IIjc best tools for his busi- 

 ness. An cslablislmientof this kind not only serves the 

 above purpose but as a dcposite fur the iuvi:Mtive artisan 

 to place his articles f<ir sale. 'J'he proprietors do not hes- 

 itate to ^^ay, that among the great variety if articles on 

 hand at this establislimeul, many are found far superior 

 in form and r.iinstruciion and belter ad.iplrd to the pur- 

 pose for which they are intended llian any which liave 

 been in use in this country. 



It was remarked by Sir Jrdin Sinclair that '.he intro- 

 duction of new Agricultural implements Into a disltict 

 is often a matter of the greatest difficully, nwing to the 

 ignorance, the prejudice and obstinacy of farm laborers , 

 many farmers, therefore, very absurdly retain their old 

 implements though convinced of their inferiority, rather 

 than sour the temper of their laborers by atiempting to 

 introduce new ones. 



In many cases, however, ihey liave succeeded ; by 

 attention and perseverance, and by rewarding their la- 

 borers, many new implements li.ive been brought into 

 general use. 



WILLIS'S STATIONARY HOKST, 1''nVVER, AND 

 CORN CRACKER ATTACHKD. 



farniiam's imf'kovf.n patent gratlr 

 ciui:;r mill. 



The improvement in this mill is in grinding, or rath- 

 er grating the apples very fine, so ihat all the juice is 

 pressed out; and produces a greater ipi.intity of liquor 

 iroin tiie simo ipianliiy of |)Oinace The above fuills are 

 in exlensive op<Tatinn, and very muf-h approved of. — 

 'I'hey v\ill griml two bushels of appbs per luinuie, and 

 no way liable to get out of iirdor. 



With liitle alleiition it ran be made one of the best 

 vegetable grinders for grinilin^ or culling food f.ir ani- 



Cini'^R SCREWS. 

 Patent Cast Ir'n Cider Screw. This is a new article 

 and far surpas^^es any thing of the kind ever introduced ; 

 they are much more powerful llrin the wooden screws. 



llALE'ri IMPROVED HORSE POWER. 



Tbis Horse power is calculated lo propel any kind 

 of machinery, or Agricultural implement, such as 

 Threslung'Maciiines, Cider Mills, (^orii Sheller, Grind- 

 stones, iicc. *!t*. ; IS very simple in its construction, oc- 

 cupies but the small space of nine feet by two, and can 

 easily be traiispurled (rum one place to another, the iiii- 

 provemenrs made on this Hurse Power, render it tho 

 most superior article, for the purpose, now in use. 



HALE'S PATEINT THRESHING MACHJNE. 

 The best macliine now in use, will thresh from 75 

 to IOC bushels per day, in the best possible manner. 



GREEN'S PATENT STRAW CUTTER. 



Willis's Improved Horse Power, for driving all kinds 

 of machinery such as Cider Mills, VViniiovviri» Mill, 

 Straw and Hay Cu'ters, Tlin.sliiug J\Iachinc's, Corn 

 Shelleis, Grinditonca, «.Vc, 



Patent Straw, Hay and Stalk Cutler, oper- 

 ating on a mechanical principle not before applied lo any 

 unplernent lor this purpose. The most prominent effects 

 "f this application, and some of the consequent peculiar- 

 ities of the machine are : 



1. So £rreat n rednrtion of tho quantum of power 

 requisite to use it. that the strength of a half grown boy 

 IS sufTirii-n' to work it very efficiently. 



2. With even liiis inudnrate power, it e.isily cuts two 

 bushels a minute, which is full twice as fast as h.is 

 been claimed by any other machine even when worked 

 by horse or steam power. 



3. The knives, owing to the peculiar manner in which 

 they cut, require sharpening less often than those of 

 any other straw cutter. 



4. The machine is simple in its eonslriictiun, made 



and put together very strongly. It is therefore not Sf 

 liable as the complicated machines in general use, ti 

 gel out of order. 



BOYNTON'S PATENT DOUBLE CYLINDEB 

 STRAW CUTIER. 



This is a new and usi-ful article for culting bidder fo 

 liorses or cattle. The a.lvanti.L'e of this machine is th 

 ease and expedition with which it cuts li.iv, siraw, o 

 corn stalks; doing the work at the rate of iwu bushel 

 per minute, wilh the greatest ease. 



WILLIS'S IMPROVED PATENT VERTICAI 

 HAY AND STRAW CUTTER. 



This Straw and Hay Cutler which has been in iis( 

 or several years, is found from experience to ho th( 

 "St Machine, for the purpose that has been invented 

 riiey are made of the best materials and workmanship 

 constructed on the best mechanical principles. TIi< 

 knives being placed in such n manner, as to operate as 

 a drawing stroke ; cuts very free and easy, and not lia- 

 ble to gel out of nrdtr ; will readily cut ihirly bushel* 

 per hour; ii is fed and worked by one man, which ie 

 nut the case with many other machines. 



The Straw Cntter is a machine well worth the atten- 

 tion of every farmer, arid should be in common use 

 wilh every person feeding stock, and from the great im- 

 provement anil simplicity of the machines now in use 

 ihe work is done with great ease and liicilily. It is « 

 subject of great regret lo eveiy I'm nd ol Ihe agricuUural 

 interest, that these mneliines' aie noi in mure gineral 

 use. Every farmer who is dispo.-cd to use his fodder lo 

 the best possible advaniage, und preserve his aniniids in 

 the best heallh, in all cases cuts iheir fodder. For far- 

 liier exphuintirm of tlie |irufils and advantages arising 

 from culling fi.dder, the following stalenient is given :—
