HORSE POWER AND THRESHING, MACHINE, 



THE Subsc^ber is manufacturing, for $120, what he believes to be the best Horse Power and Thresh- 

 ing Machine now in use. He is emboldened to say so, from the fact, that where it was used last 

 year it was universally* approved. The Horse Power, particularly, is unrivalled. From two to four 

 horses is all the power that is ever required, and for compactness, ease of draft and durability, it cannot 

 be excelled. 



This Machine is calculated to get out cleanly from 120 to 150 bushels per day; but fi?r $150 a larger 

 drum will be furnished, that with lour horses will thresh 250 bushels. 



Orders are pouring in, and those desiring these Maehines'will please inform me at once, thafT .may 

 not be hurried in getting them up; and therefore may have a better opportunity df turning out a good ar- 

 ticle. • : • '

 at p. 65, aW Dr. Bryant's -in the May No. at p. 100. 



N. B. — In consequence of the late extraordinary rise* in the price of iron, the subscriber has been 

 compelled* to raise the price«of these Machines to $130 ' -C.'T. BOTTS.

TTIHE cheapness and expedition with which-manure may be manufactured by the Bommer process, and, 

 • JL .the fact that it can be produced to any extent desired, not only from all-vegetable matter,, whether

Hussey's Reapiiig Machine. 



FARMERS who intend procuring this machine to cut their next harvest, will please send their orders 

 soon to* the.subscriber in Baltimore. The uncertainty felt by farmers for a year or two past, as to 

 what machine they had better procure, appears from present indications, to be considerably removed, as 

 the orders already received are more than double the number of any previous year, up to the middle of 

 February. To say nothing of what this machine will do in good standing grain, it is warranted to cut- 

 grain in such bad condition, 'as no other reaping machine ever made can cut at all. ,
