HORSE POWER AND THRESHING MACHINE. 



THE Subscribers manufacturing, for $120, what he believes to be the best Horse Power and Thresh- 

 ing Machine jiow in use. He- is emboldened to say so, from the fact, that where it \^|used last 

 (pl^ear it was universally approved. The Horse Power, particularly, is unrivalled. F^om two- to four 

 ^>rses is all the power that is eVer/rrequired, 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 for $150 a larger 

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



Orders are pouring, in, and those desiring these Machines will please inform me at once, that I may 

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

 ticle. 



f^-See Mr. Roane's opinion of this Machine as expressed in the March No. of the Southern Planter, 

 at p. 65, and Dr. Ijfeyant's in the May No. at p. 100. 



N. B. — Iii consequence df 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.

. Bommer's Method at Reduced Prices. 



THE cheapness ^and expedition with which man^fc may be manufactured by the Bommer process, and 

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

 green^or dry, but also from the earth itself. It is evident that no economical cultivator 8f the soil can 

 consistently remain 'destitute of this valuable means of restoring fertility to exhausted Khnds, of making 

 good land better, and of augmenting crops of all descriptions. To facilitate the speedy and general in- 

 troduction of this important improvement, it is hereafter to be sold to each individual at the low price of 

 five dollars, with the right to use it on his own premises, to any extent desired. As soon as practicable, 

 it is intended 4.o employ a competent Travelling Agent in each County, whose duty it shall be, not only 

 to. promote sales; but also to furnish all necessary illustrations of its practical utility. 



"Persons w,ho may wish to avail themselves of this method immediately, are hereby informed, that by 

 .forwarding their address to the subscriber, with five dollars enclosed, that they shall instantly have the 

 nrethod fprwarded to them without charge of postage. Any intelligent and responsible person' who would 

 wish to be employed as Travelling Agent in any county in the States of Virginia or Delaware, will please 

 address me on the^subject, with suitable testimonials of character and qualifications, all of which must 

 be post paid. Suitable persons will find the employment both useful and lucrative.

Husscy's Reaping: Machine. 



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

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

 what macnine 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.
