It is only by the use of valuable improvements that we 

 can reasonably expect to keep up with the age in which 

 we live, and public opinion everywhere has placed M. D. 

 Wells' Improved Patent Seed Sower in the first class of 

 agricultural implements. The above drawing exhibits it 

 in use, and any ordinary mind must at once be impressed 

 with the certain conviction that it is an indispensable im- 

 plement of husbandry, and that every good farmer should 

 have it. By its use you save time, which is money and 

 labor which costs money and experience in using it proves 

 you will not be driven from the field unless by very rough 

 weather, and the almost mathematical precision with which 

 the seed is distributed, compared with hand sowing, renders 

 it self evident in the opinion of the best farmers that a sav- 

 ing or gain of two dollars per acre is made in two crops of 

 grass and the succeeding crop of wheat, one year's inte- 

 rest on an acre of land at $33?, and sowing three acres 

 pays for a machine with lid at $6. 



The first premium was recommended for this machine 

 at the late Virginia State Fair, and four of the committee 

 (all having use for it) engaged one each ; and we think if 

 governed by your interest vou will do likewise.

ZIMMERMAN & CO.'S CELEBRATED PATENT 

 PREMIUM THRESHER, CLEANER AND BAG- 

 GER, which received the first premium at the Crystal Pa- 

 lace, New York, this making ten premiums in two seasons, 

 in competition with the most celebrated Separators of the 

 day; proving conclusively, that simplicity in construction, 

 cheapness in price and durability in machine, is being fully 

 appreciated, and the old complicated costly separators must 

 yield their place to a superior machine. This Machine, for 

 threshing, separating, cleaning twice, screening and bag- 

 ging, (by one simple operation,) all kinds of Grain — the 

 greatest labor-saving machine extant; for simplicity, dura- 

 bility, cheapness and capacity, it has no rival in the world. 

 It is capable of turning out, ready for the mill or for seed, 

 from 300 to 500 bushels of wheat per day, with six or eight 

 horses, and eight hands — or from 500 to 800 bushels with 

 twelve horses and as many hands, doing the work cleaner, 

 and breaking less grain, than any machine now in use. 

 This machine received the first premiums at the Maryland 

 State Fair, Baltimore, in 1852 and 1853; the Washington 

 County Maryland Fair ; Valley Agricultural Fair of Virginia, 

 in 1852 and 1853; the Rappahannock Agricultural Society, 

 at Port Royal, Virginia ; Indiana State Fair, Indianapolis, 

 1853. 



This machine is so simple in construction, that the one 

 fan and shoe completely cleans and bags the grain, dis- 

 pensing with all the complicated machinery (and consequent 

 liability of derangement) in all other separators, thus making 

 it more desirable to the farmer.
