WHEELER'S PATENT IMPROVED PORTABLE 
RAIL ROAD HORSE POWERS and OVERSHOT THRESHERS & SEPARATORS. 
Having sold about two hundred and fifty sets of these Powers 
and Threshers during the past eighteen months, many of which 
were purchased by some of the large Wheat Growers in this 
State, Vermont, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Canada, and 
without exception having given entire satisfaction, (which was 
guarantied in all cases,) I do not hesitate to recommend them to 
Farmers and Mechanics desiring such machines, as being in my 
opinion the most convenient, if not superior in all respects, to any 
others now in use. Very many flattering testimonials have been 
received, several of them estimating the cost of threshing at less 
than one-half that with the ordinary sweep Powers, with from 
four to six horses. These machines have been extensively used 
in the eastern part of the state of New York, and generally 
throughout New Jersey and eastern Pennsylvania, nearly six 
years, and with a constantly increasing demand. The first 
machines put in use, and which have been in constant use, are 
nearly good as new, the only expense attending their use is the 
oil for the wearing parts, thereby establishing the fact that they 
are not only cheap, and within the reach and control of every 
ordinary farmer, but durable and cheaply kept in order Some 
of the principal advantages of these machines are the following: 
The Power itself occupies very little space, and is operated 
wholly, if desired, by the weight of the horse, the Power being 
placed at an angle often or fifteen degrees only, according to the 
weight of the horse, which is found sufficient for threshing all 
grains, sawing wood, &c. It is comparatively light and portable 
and can readily be handled by two men, and used on any com- 
mon threshing floor, thereby securing ease and safety to both man 
and beast during stormy weather. The moving parts are very 
simple, as sufficient speed for all purposes is obtained with but 
one shaft, without gearing; thus avoiding a great amount of fric- 
tion, which is unavoidable in most other machines in use. The 
Thresher is new in many respects, and has several important ad. 
vantages over most others. By having an overshot cylinder, it 
admits of a level feeding table, and the person feeding it stands 
erect, also has the control of the horse, and by means of a brake, 
the power can easily be checked or stopped by him wilh perfect 
safety, thereby often avoiding accidents. By this overshot mo. 
tion, all hard substances are prevented from getting in, avoiding 
the danger of spikes bein? broken and thrown out — not an instancp 
being known of such accident. By this machine the grain is not 
scattered, but thrown upon the floor within three feet of it, and 
admits a Separator to be attached, sufficiently high from the floor 
for all the grain to Ml through it, while the straw is carried quite 
-over in good condition for binding, the straw not 'being cut or 
grain broken. The cylinder is considerably less in diameter than 
most machines in use, and has only about one-third as many 
spikes, but double the number in ihe concave, which admits of 
greater speed with the same power. It is also several inches 
'longer, which gives ample room for feeding it to much better ad- 
vantage. The Separator has been sold wilh each Thresher, and 
is considered indispensable, as it makes a perfect separation of 
the straw and grain, leaving the latter in the best possible condi- 
tion for the fanning mill. Three men, with a Single Power, can 
thresh 75 to 100 bushels of wheat or rye, or four men with a 
Doable Power. 175 to 225 bushels of wheat or rye, or double that 
quantity of oats or buckwheat, per day; and with fanning mill 
attached to the Power, and one man to attend it, the grain can 
be cleaned for market at the same time. 
They can be taken apart and packed very compactly, and for- 
warded to any distance by canal, rail road, or wagon. The 
;Sing!e Power, 'with Thresher, Separator, &c, weighs nearly 1100 
pounds ; the Double Power, with the other apparatus complete, 
weighs nearly 1700 pounds.
