HORSE POWERS. 
Awarded a MEDAL and DIPLOMA OF HONOR, at the 
International Exposition. 
HEEBNER’S IMPROVED 
Level Tread Railway Horse 
Rower and Speed Regulator. 
Horses’feet stand level on floor of Power; labor and fa¬ 
tigue of the horse diminished; power increased; money 
saved. Smooth-shod horses work on them better than 
rough-shod on the old style Powers; have a slower walk for 
horse. These Powers are single or double-geared, for one 
or iwo horses, with the only successful Speed Regulator 
in the world. We also have the simplest, most desirable and 
cheapest Threshers, Separators, and < :leaners, for one or two 
horses. These Powers and Machines will do more work, 
with less labor lor horse or operator, than any other; pro¬ 
nounced superior by every purchaser. Have on record in 
our office a large list of First Premiums, Diplomas, and 
Medals of State and County Fairs in the United States. We 
are the Proprietors of the Patents and Self* Manufacturers. 
Established in 1810. Send for Circulars, and learn of
