[October, 
A. K WOOD & CO., 
EATON, MADISON CO., N. Y., 
Manufacturers of their Celebrated 
PORTABLE ENGINES, 
For Farm and Mechanical purposes. They are particularly 
adapted to driving Thrashing Machines. Circular Saws, Mills 
oi" all kinds, Printing Presses. Wood or Iron Lathes, Machin- 
ery in Cabinet or "Wagon Shops, Boring Artesian Wells, 
Pumping Water, Corn Shelters, &c, &c. 
Thev are mounted either on legs, like the above en t, for 
stationary use, or on wheels, with a pole, ready for attach- 
ing a team for moving from place to place. 
Mr. W. N. Perky, of" Rushville, Yates Co.. N. T-, says in 
the Countrv Gentleman of Aug. 29th, 1SG7: "By the way. we 
are thrashing bv steam, using a six-horse portable engine. 
It works to a charm, just the thing to do a nice job ; it does 
the work of ten horses on a sweep power, and very much 
better." 
The American Agriculturist, in editorial notes, on page 
S17, Sept. number, lS67i ears: "Steam Thrashers are a 
prominent feature in Western husbandry. The horse thrash- 
ers are still in use, but are as certainly doomed as the scythe 
or the hand rake. They are altogether too slow for this age. 
The steam thrasher is mounted upon wheels, and is drawn 
by hoises from place to place, as it is wanted. The great ad- 
vantage ofthe st^am thrasher is that it puts the wlieat har- 
vest so much into the power of the farmer. As a rule, wlieat 
stands in the shock until it is thrashed, and the first good 
weather is availed of to clean the crop, and seud it to mar- 
ket."
