THE BRINKEflllOFF CORN-SHELLER. 
It Shells ! It Separates! It Cleans! 
The IT. S. Commissioner of Agriculture says, in his report 
to Congress: “ It is the very best ffand-Sheller that is made 
in the 'United States." The American Institute Farmers’ 
Club sav: “ ft is the best Shelter we have ever met with." 
The officers of the National Implement Trial say: “ It is the 
best Corn-Shelter we ever sale." The Rural New-Yorker, 
The Western Rural, and all competent judges, concede that 
it is the very best Corn-Sheller in use. 
We have greatly improved the working of the Sheller, by 
enlarging the gear and otherwise perfecting it so that it can 
be run with about one-half the power formerly required. 
Great care is also taken to make them strong and durable, 
and it is now fully conceded by all competent judges that it 
is incomparably better than any other Corn-Sheller ever 
made. 
First Premiums awarded this Slieller at every State Fair 
at which it lias been exhibited, including Ohio, Illinois, 
Michigan, Delaware, Louisiana, Georgia, and New York 
State Fairs; also at a large number of County Fairs in this 
and other States. 
Price, No. 1, $16; No. 2, heavier and stronger made, $20. 
Delivered on board cars.

* near ANNAPOLIS, the Capital of Maryland.— The 
undersigned offers for sale his Farm, known as “ Primrose,” 
containing 435X acres; not over a half-mile by water, and 
a mile and a half by the county road from the City. All of 
the farm buildings, which are ample for all the wants of 
such property, are either new or in excellent repair, except 
tile dwelling house, which is a double, two-story, brick 
house and wing, and for a small sum can be made a first- 
class residence. 
The location is healthful and beautiful, commanding an 
extensive view of the waters of the Bay, and the grounds 
are planted with shade-trees, shrubbery, and flowers. The 
cultivated land of about 300 acres has all been heavily limed 
and is in a high state of cultivation, adapted to the growth 
of all the crops raised jn this region, hut especially adapted 
to the cultivation of melons, berries, vegetables, and all tree 
fruits, with which the estate is abundantly supplied, and for 
which its vicinity to Annapolis and access to Baltimore by 
rail, and daily and nightly by steamer, furnish ready sales. 
There are about 4,000 bearing peach-trees; 500 pears, dwarf 
and standard; and 500 apple-trees now hearing, or all rapid¬ 
ly becoming so, on this property. The location of the Naval 
Academy, and the cultivated society of the City, furnish 
superior attractions to those who desire recreation. St. 
John’s College, and excellent Schools, furnish the best »p- 
portunity for educating children, whilst the growth of the 
City is rapidly enhancing the value of all property in the 
neighborhood. 
As an investment for future advantages, or for profit from 
cultivation, few estates in the country present greater ad¬ 
vantages than the purchase of the property bow offered, or 
than the terms for which it can he purchased. 
Price, $25,000, of which $10,000 to he paid in cash, residue
