one operation— being simple in construction, 

 economical to the farmer, and will thresh more 

 in a given length of time than any Machine 

 in use. This Machine took the premium over 

 some five or six machines at the Maryland 

 State Fair, in October, 1852, by acclamation. 

 We manufacture them from 2 horse-power up 

 to 12 horse-power. We also manufacture 

 Ploughs, Cultivators, Harrows, Grain Cradles, 

 Wheat Drills, Corn and Cob Crushers, Corn 

 Shellers, Straw Cutters of different kinds, 

 among which are Smith's Virginia Patent, 

 being cheap and simple in its construction, 

 Revolving Horse Rakes, Premium Wheat 

 Fans. We will also keep for sale Reapers, 

 Mowing Machines, and all kinds of useful 

 implements, such as are used by Farmers, 

 Planters and Gardeners. We would call par- 

 ticular attention to the Wiley or Mott Pre- 

 mium Double Pointed Cap Plough, of compo- 

 sition metal. One of these Ploughs will last 

 as long as three or four of any other kind now 

 in use, and the metal will stand rocky or 

 stumpy land as well as steel wrought shares— 

 the shares only costing from 25 to 45 cents 

 each— will plough from 20 to 30 acres each— 

 the cap fitting right in the wear of the mould- 

 board, the cap costing only from 25 to 45 cents. 

 This Plough can be kept in order by the farmer 

 or any of the hands, from five to six years. 

 With this Plough the farmer is his own black- 

 smith. The Ploughs all warranted, and also 

 warranted to put the ground in better order 

 than any Plough now in use. Also Wrought 

 Share Ploughs, both Right and Left; among 

 which are the Improved M'Cormick's, with 

 Cast Landside and Heels; Livingston County 

 Plough, of all sizes; Subsoil Ploughs of the 

 best patterns. 



N. U. Mott being a practical and an expe- 

 rienced workman for fifteen years in the dif- 

 ferent branches of the business of manufac- 

 turing of implements, we feel safe in saying 

 that articles purchased of us will prove of 

 superior workmanship. Call and examine 

 for yourselves, when we will be happy to ex- 

 hibit our goods.
