A LLEN’S IMPSOTE® PORTABLE BAIL- 
road Horse Power, Thresher, and Separator.—The advan- 
vantages of the above horse powers are—1. They occupy but 
little more space than a horse. 2. They can be moved by the 
weight of the horse only, by placing the machine at an angle of 
10 or 15 degrees. 3. They are easily transported, simply con¬ 
structed, not liable to get out of order, and move with little fric¬ 
tion. 
The Overshot Threshers consist of a small-spiked cylinder 
with a concave top, and possess these advantages. 1. They have 
a level table for feeding, thus enabling the tenders to stand 
erect, and control the motions of the horse and machine by means 
of a brake, by which accidents are avoided. 2. In consequence 
of the spikes lifting the straw and doing the work on the top, 
stones, blocks, &c., drop at the end of the table, and are not car¬ 
ried between the spikes. 3. The overshot cylinder does not scat¬ 
ter the grain but throws it within three feet of the machine. 4. 
This arrangement also admits of attaching a separator high enough 
from the floor or ground to allow all the grain to fall through it, 
while the straw is deposited by itself in the best condition for 
binding. 5. Neither grain nor straw are broken by this machine. 
6. The cylinder is long, which admits of faster and more ad¬ 
vantageous-feeding; it is smaller and with fewer teeth than ordi¬ 
nary threshers, thus admitting of more rapid motion and faster 
work with less power ; and the diminution of teeth in the cylin¬ 
der is fully made up by an increased number in the concave top, 
which is stationary. 1. The separator is a great advantage in 
diminishing the labor of raking out the straw, as it leaves the 
grain in the best condition for the fanning mill. Three men with 
a single power, can .thresh 100 to 150 bushels of wheat or rye 
per day; and four men with a double power, twice that quantity. 
All the above are compact and can be carried where wanted, 
complete, or they may be readily taken apart and packed for 
distant transportation by wagon or otherwise.

JTi MEAT SALE ©F SHORTHORN CATTLE. 
sOF The subscriber will offer for sale, without reserve, at public 
auction, on Thursday, the 29th day of August next, at 1 o’clock, 
P. M., on the farm of J. F. Sheafe, Esq., at New Hamburg, Dutch¬ 
ess Co., New York, about 35 head of Shorthorn cattle, including 
cows, heifers, and calves. 
This herd was mostly bred by Mr. Sheafe, and I do not hesitate 
to say, that I think it one of the very best in the United States ; 
and I have seen and particularly examined nearly all of them. 
Great attention was paid in the commencement of this herd, to 
the milking properties of the animals forming it; and this, togeth¬ 
er with fine points and good growth and constitution, have been 
steadily kept in view in its breeding. There is but one cow in 
the herd which gives less than 20 quarts per day, in the best of 
the milking season, while one has given over 29 quarts per day 
and made 15 lbs. 3 oz. of butter per week, and two others have 
given respectively, 31 and 36 quarts per day. Their color is of 
the most fashionable and desirable kind—red, red and white, and 
a rich strawberry roan—only one white cow in the lot. They are 
of good size and fine style, and all in calf to the superb imported 
bull Exeter, which will also be offered for sale at the same time. 
Pedigree of Exeter. —Exeter is of the Princess tribe of Short¬ 
horns—was calved in June 1848, and bred by Mr. John Stephen¬ 
son, of Wolviston, Durham, England. He was got by Napier, 
(6,238,)—out of Jessamine, by Commodore (3,452)—Flora, by 
Belvedere, (1,706)—Jessey, by Belvedere. (1,706,)—Cherry by Wa¬ 
terloo, (2,816,) &c. See English Herd Book, Vol. V., for full pedi¬ 
gree 
Exeter was selected for Mr. Sheafe, by a first-rate judge of 
shorthorn stock, and was considered one of the very best bulls in 
England. Quite a high price was paid for him ; and it is be¬ 
lieved that his superior, if even his equal, has never before been 
imported into this country. He carries an enormous brisket for 
his age, and his style, handling, and quality are of the finest kind. 
His color is mostly a beautiful yellow-red, which is a bright-red 
with a fine golden or saffron undertinge, arising from a rich yel¬ 
low skin. He is the only bull of this peculiarly desirable red , 
ever imported into America. Calves got by him, out of this 
herd of cows will fetch a high price the moment they are drop¬ 
ped. 
Mr. Stephenson, the breeder of Exeter, now stands at the head 
of his class in England, and his stock is of the highest repute. It 
is entirely of the Princess tribe, and traces its pedigrees without 
any alloy or Galloway blood, back to pure shorthorns, for up¬ 
wards of two hundred years ; a matter of no small consideration 
to those who wish a superior fresh cross. 
Catalogues of the above stock, with pedigrees in full, are now 
ready for distribution. 
Southdown Sheep .—A choice flock of this superior breed of 
mutton sheep will be sold on the same day as above. 
Suffolk Swine. —One boar and several breeding sows and pigs, 
of this fine breed of swine. 
Working Oxen. —A handsome par of red working oxen.
