with the same team than any oilier, it has been tested with 
every known variety, and it has invariably triumphed, it has 
held the lield since it received the first premium from the 
World’s Fair held in Hie Crystal Palace, N. Y., in 1853, (in com¬ 
petition with both American and Foreign Harrows including 
one from England, which received the first prize $100 at the 
World’s Fair held in England) to the present time as the first 
premiums awarded in 1858, will attest, viz.. United States Agri¬ 
cultural Society, [a Silver Medal ] held at Richmond, Ya , Ohio, 
Pennsylvania, Virginia and Connecticut State Fairs, also at 
numerous Countv Fairs. This Harrow is made <>f wrought iron

Bee Keepers—Read. 
I desire to refer you to E. W. Phelps’ advertisement in the 
Amencan Agriculturist for March. Read it—-then read what I 
have to say, as follows : 
L. L. Langstorth is the original and sole inventorand patentee 
ol the Movable Comb Frame, and as such, will maintain his 
rights. Mr. Phelps—1 am personal, and mean exactly what I 
say—has, at different times, publicly said that the Movable 
Frame would notdo lor “ our ignorant farmers ,” butthey might 
“possibly, with great care, i e used to a little advantage by the 
scientific apiarian—who de.ired to experiment without profit.” 
In the face of this, finding that, the Movable Frames were en¬ 
dorsed by nearly every practical apiarian in the United States, 
lie (Mr P.,) applies for a paient. On what ? Answer— “ Rev L. 
L. Langstorih’s Movable Comb F'ames,” with a slot at the 
ends and sub-divisionof the frame—both of which arrangements 
I tried several years ago, and threw them aside as worthless. 
Bee keepers have been most grossly swindled by patent hives. I 
deem it nece>sary that every inventor shou.d publish to the 
world his “ claims.” Mr. Langstorth’s are as follows : claim. 
PATENT OFFICE RETORT OF 1852-3. 
Patent No, 9300— Improvement in Bee-Hives. 
First —The use of a shallow chamber, substantially as de¬ 
scribed, in combination with a perforated cover, for enlarging 
or diminishing at will the size and number of the spare honey 
roceotades. 
Second— The use of the movable frames, A, A, fig. 4, or their 
equivalents, substantially as described ; also their use in combi¬ 
nation with the shallow chamber, with or without my arrange¬ 
ment for spare honey receptacles. 
Third— A divider, substantially as described, in combination 
with a movable cover, allowing the divider to be inserted from 
above, between. the ranges of comb. 
Fourth— The use of the double glass sides in a single frame, 
substantially as and for the purposes set forth . 
Fifth— The construction of the trap for excluding moths and 
catching worms, so arranged as to increase or diminish at will 
the size of the entrance for bees, substantially in the manner 
aud for the j <rposes set forth. L. L LANGSTROTH. 
Bee keepers v 0 u see what Mr, L. claims and lias obtained, 
in reading a paper lately, on the treatment of inventors, I found 
the following 
F.x tracts : 
44 He is an omnipresent peculator, whose mind is fed by the 
true sun of Science. He stands ever ready to rob the inventor 
and to appropriate that which was the product of a superior 
mind.” “ The occurrence of piracy of inventions has become of 
late, truly alarming, and inventors are daily cheated.” 
Once for all, let no apiarian purchase any hive contain'ng 
m<>\able t'rnmes, excepting only Mr. L.’s, unless he desires to 
pay twice for the one privilege of using frames. 
Cus'om says : “ Give us reference,” I have hundreds to refer 
to, but will give two only. Mr. Quinby, St. Johnsville. N. Y.,

Improved Combined Tliresher and Winnower. 
[Shown m the cut.] 
Our first Combined Thresher and Winnower was invented and 
made in 1851. Continued experiments resulted, in 185T, in the 
present 
WHEELER’S 
Improved Patent Combined Thresher and Winnower. 
The Machine is a model of simplicity and compactness, and is 
made in the most substantial manner, so that its durability 
equals its efficiency and perfection of work. Its capacity, under 
ordinary circumstances, has been from 125 to 175 bushels ot 
Wheat, and from 200 to 300 bushels of Oats, per day. It works 
all other kinds of Grain equally well, and also threshes and 
cleans Rice and Timothy Seed. Price $245. 
WHEELER’S 
PATENT SINGLE HORSE-POWER 
AND 
Overshot Thresher with Vibrating Separator. 
This is a One-Horse Machine, adapted to the wants of medium 
and small grain growers. It separates grain and chaff from the 
straw, and threshes from 75 to 100 bushels of Wheat, or twice as 
many Oats per day, without changing horses—by a change 
nearly double the quantity may be threshed. Price $128. 
WHEELER’S 
PATENT DOUBLE HORSE-POWER, 
AND 
Overshot Thresher with Vibrating Separator. 
This Machine is like the preceding, but larger, and for twe 
horses. It does double the work of the Single Machine, and is 
adapted to the wants of large and medium grain growers, and 
persons who make a business of threshing Price $160. 
ALSO, 
Circular and Cross-Cut Sawing Machines. Clover Hullers 
Feed Cutters, Mowers and Reapers, Horse Rakes,

driven by Horse-Power, and our Threshers may be driven by any 
of the ordinary kinds of Horse-Powers in use—either are sold 
separately. 
E^To persons wishing more information, and applying by 
mail, we will forward a Circular containing such details as pur¬ 
chasers mostly want—and can refer to gentlemen having our 
Machines, in every State and Territory.
