OPENER AND FASTENER FOR 
PATENTED MAT 31, 1864. 
Before the cattle are let into the stable, the lever O.Is 
moved to the right, then the lever F is moved to the riglit ; 
then lever F is thrown to the left. When the cattle liave 
taken their places. lever O is moved to the left, which fastens 
them all at one time. To fasten them over night, a pin may 
he placed over the lever O, or a hook maybe used. Tliis 
works at either end. One or more can be opened hy raising 
chain I. When they are open, one or more can be shut by 
pushing up stanchion B, as without it. TIte bar H, is hung 
higher at one end; by this means the cattle are let out one 
at a time by moving lever H slowly to the risht. Pm E, 
should be pat near the inner edge, so wlieu block K rises 
stanchion E will fall hack. Any ^irl or boy can work this 
and keep dry and clean. This arrangement can be placed on 
anv stancliions. Warranted to work 150 feet long.

TESTIMONIALS. 
Httntingdon, Penn., March ^fith, 18&I. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gk:jtle5ien.— It gives me great pleasure to testify to the 
general excellency of your Patent Flax Brake. I have been 
operating one for the past four months, and am satistied it 
will do all that is claimed for it. Thev readily break the 
nuTiiber of pounds perdaywiiich you claim in vour pam- 
phlet, and the flax leaves the machine perfectTv siraiglit. 
The Brake can readily he adjusted to hard or tender flax as 
the case may he, and with ordinary attention, I consider the 
probability of the machine getting out of order verv remote. 
I am very truly yours, Horatio G. Fishee. 
Sttttstille, N. Y., March 28th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford; 
Gentlemen,— You ask our opinion in regard to vour l-nax 
Machine; we can say with pleasure that we a're htglily 
pleased with it ; we find no difficulty in breaking for four 
dressers, and thev say they never dressed after so perfect a 
machine lor breaking. As this is the first season of our expe- 
rience in tlie Fhix business, we are not qualified to speak of 
our own knowledge of its superior qualities over the old 
machines. Yours truly, &c., 
Atwood a Bridenbeckek. 
KlNGWOOD, HtJNTERDON CO., N. J., April 3, 186i. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen,— I have been using your valuable Patent 
Flax Brake for the last three months to my entire satisfac- 
tion. I have more than realized my oxpecta'tions both in re- 
gard to the quantity and quality o"f work done. I regard ic 
as one of the greatest inventions of the present day. " From 
experiments made I believe the savins to be fullj' one fourth 
in fibre over the old liand-hrakes heretofore in use in this 
part of the country ; it not only increases the quantitv hut 
It greatly improves the quality- of flax, which enable's the 
seller to obtain the highest market rates. Another import^ 
ant consideration is the small amount of power it requires 
to break a given amount in a given time. 
Yours respectfully, Wilson Beat. 
Woodstock Flax Factort, 
Milton, Morris Co., N. J., March 26th, 1S&4. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen,— I have used one of your Patent Flax Brakes 
(No. 3) since the first of January last, and can say That it far 
exceeds my expectations ; it not only breaks the straw thor- 
oughly but it keeps it perfectly straight without any waste. 
Anoth"er great advantage it possesses is that two boys, 11 and 
13 years old can break as fast as ©ne man can scutch the 
sanie. I consider it one of the greatest saving niacliines of 
the age. Wishing yon success in this great invention. 
1 am truly yourB, Elias C. Talmadge.

Office of the Cooesbukgh Flax Woeks, 
John W. Qulncy, Esq. March 26th, 1S64. 
Dear Sir,— Your favor just received asking my opinion 
of your Brake. It affords me much pleasure to do this fa- 
vorably. After running five of your No. 1 Brake in the Flax 
district of Ireland and successfully competing with sixteen 
difl'erent machines, I returned to tins countrv and started a 
mill in All^any County, New York. We worked all kinds of 
straw, rorted, unrotted, and over-rotted, never injuring the 
fibre, giving the Flax a soft silkv feel and better spinning 
quality than could be obtained on anyotlier Brake. We 
liave fun our Brake nearly six months, jiart ot the time night 
and dav, and have had no breakdown ; we consider the ma- 
chine as ffood to-day as when we purchased it. I am confi- 
dent that there is a larsre saving in fibre and the value of the 
flax is verv much enhanced by its use. I think It useless to 
say more on the subject ; all that is necessary is for a man to 
see it work to be convinced that it is the best Brake in use. 
Wishing you success, I remain yoni-s truly, 
Edgar Fowes.

Having purchased the exclusive right to manufacture and 
vend this great Ag^ricultHral ^vant (throughout the 
United States, excepting the New England and some of the 
Atlantic and Pacific Statesi, which has been so thoroughly 
and satisfactorily tested, I am now prepared to receive 
orders for them. 
A hoy 15 years old with 4 good horses can spade 6 to 8 acres 
per day, S inches deep, leaving the field in the condition of a 
garden bed when forked. 
Depots will be established at Chicago, Milwaukee, St. 
Louis, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, and other Western and 
Southern Cities, and I shall endeavor to meet the demand 
by manufacturing extensively, but orders should be sent early 
to avoid delay and disappointment.
