It makes a clear, soft and 
steady light,without smoke or 
odor, consuming the carbon 
by jets of air entering the 
interior of the flame. It holds 
the flame and can be carried 
about like a candle. It saves 
the eyes, the fingers, half the oil, and all the expense of 
chimneys. It is tlie nest niglit lamp, and is perfectly safe 
and reliable in every wav. It is simple in operation, and 
never gets out of order. It will fit your lamps, as tlie screws 
are of uniform size in the lamps now made. You can buy 
directly of us, tlirougli tlie mall, witliout regard to dealers, 
wlio make their profits mainly from the sale of chimneys.

OPENER AND FASTENER FOR 
PATENTED MA V 31, 1864. 
Before the cattle are let into ilie stable, tbe lever 0,ls 
moved to the right, tiien the leve- F is moved to the right; 
then lever F is thrown to tlie left. Wlien the cattle have 
taken tlieir places, lever O is moved to tlic left, which fastens 
them all at one time. To fasten ihcm over niglit, a pin may 
be placed over the lever O, or a iiook may be used. ’This 
works at either end. One or more can be opened by raising 
chain I. When they are open, one or more can be sliut by 
pushing up stanchion B, as witliout it. Tlie 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 tlie riglit. Pin E, 
should be put near the inner edge, so wlien block Krises 
stanchion B will fall baclt. Any girl or boy can work this 
and keep dry and clean. This arrangement can be placed on 
arw stancliions. Warranted to work 150 feet long.

TESTIMONIALS. 
Huntingdon, Penn., March 26'th, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen,— It gives me great pleasure to testify to tha 
general excellency of your Patent Flax Brake. I have been 
operating one for the past four montlis. and am satisfied It 
will do all that is claimed for it. They readily break tlie 
number of pounds per day which you claim in your pain- 
nlilet. and the flax leaves the machine perfectiv straight. 
Tlie Brake can readily be adjusted to hard or tender flax as 
the case may be, and with ordinary attention, I consider tlie 
probability of the machine getting out of order verv remote. 
I am very truly yours, Hoeatio G. Fishke. 
Stittsvills, N. T., March 2Sth, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen,— Yon ask our opinion in regard to your Flax 
Machine; we can say with pleasure that we are higiily 
pleased with it; we find no difficulty in breaking for four 
dressers, and they say tliey never dressed after so perfect a 
machine for breaking. As this is the first season of our expe¬ 
rience In the Flax business, we are not qualified to speak of 
our own knowledge of its superior qualities over the old 
machines. Tours truly, &e.,

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 liave more tlian realized my expectations botli in re¬ 
gard to the quantity and quality of work done. I regard it 
as one of the greatest inventions of the present day. From 
experiments made I believe the saving to be fully one fourth 
in fibre over the old li.and-brakes heretofore in use in this 
part of the country; it not only increases the quantity but 
It greatly Improves tlie quality of flax, wliich enables tha 
seller to obtain the highest market rates. Anotlier import¬ 
ant consideration is the small amount of power it requirei 
to break a given amount in a given time. 
Yours respectfully, Wilson Bray. 
Woodstock Flax Factory, 
Milton, Morris Co., N. J., March 26Ui, 1864. 
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 straiglit without any waste. 
Anotlier great advantage it possesses'is that two boi’s, 11 and 
13 years old can break as fast as one man can scutch the 
same. I consider it one of the greatest saving maciiiues of 
the age. Wisliing you success in this great invention. 
I am truly yours, Elias C. Talmadge. 
Office op the Cooesbuegh Flax Works, 
John W. Quincy, Esq. March 26tli, 1864. 
Dear Sir,— Your favor just received asking my opinion 
of your Brake. It aft'ords me much pleasure to do tills fa¬ 
vorably. After running five of your No. 1 Brake in the Flax 
district of Ireland and successfully competing with sixteen 
different macliines, I returned to this country and started a 
mill in Albany County, New York. We worked all kinds of 
straw, rotted, unrotted, and over-rotted, never injuring tlie 
fibre, giving the Flax a soft silky feel and better spinning 
quality than could be obtained on any other Brake. We 
have run our Brake nearly si.x montlis, part of the time night 
and day, and have liad no breakdown ; we consider the ma- 
cliine as good to-day as when we purchased it. I am confi¬ 
dent that there is a large saving in fibre and the value of the 
flax is very 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 tlie best Brake in use. 
Wishing you success, I remain yours truljL

Having purchased the exclusive right to manufacture and 
vend this great AgrieTiltraral wasst (throughout the 
United States, excepting the New England and some of the 
Atlantic and Pacific States), which has been s® thoroughly 
and satisfactorily tested, I am now prepared to receive 
orders for them. 
A boy 15 years old with 4 good horses can spade 6 to 8 acres 
per day, 8 inches deep, leaving the field in the condition of a 
garden bed when forked.
