SORROW. 
Life has dark secrets! and the hearts are few 
That treasure not some sorrow from the world— 
A sorrow silent, gloomy and unknown, 
Yet coloring the future with the past. 
We see the eye subdued, the practiced smile, 
The word well weighed before it pass the lip, 
And know not of the misery within; 
Yet there it works incessantly, and fears 
The time to come: for time is terrible, 
Avenging and betraying. 
THE YANKEE A POET. 
The Yankee is the spiritual swallow as 
well as the moral—the overcoming speed ot 
his rapid thought has conquered space, as 
do the wings of the bird—he darts through 
the eities to his morning meal, and takes a 
nation for “ mine inn ” hy the way, from 
zone to zone! Say then, the American is 
not the truest poet? Is the bird upon its 
tireless pinions “putting a belt around the 
world,” a beautiful and glorious creature— 
the most poetical of images ? Why not 
then the man, who, in his car of power, sits 
calmly to be borne as hy his own will, to the 
uttermost parts of the earth—a far more 
sublime embodiment of all that 
“ Still imagination in bottomless conceit,” 
has shaped to poetry ? Does the swallow 
breast tho opposing winds, and cleave in un¬ 
deviating flight the track of storms ?—tho 
Yankee, in his steamship, follows on his sub¬ 
ject waves ! Does the swallow glide across 
trackless wastes—above the sea-like crests 
of mighty forests—rise like a loosened ar¬ 
row amidst the snows of mountains, and 
dive the abyss of valleys ?—the Yankee on 
his railroad thunders after it in clouds and 
fire—bustling over plains—clearing startled 
woods—to plunge reverberating through 
tho yawning tunnel, and burst forth wind¬ 
ing on tho piths of cities ! Does the swal¬ 
low lead the south wind’s flight, and find its 
summer in a day ?—the Yankee can pass it 
on the way—can speak across a continent 
—hid a home arise before ho starts, and of¬ 
fer the swallow lodgings in his chimney 
flue, at that, when it arrives. 
There is no mistake about it—this samo 
Yankee is the highest poet of the most po¬ 
etical age the world ever saw, though it is 
perfectly well known that he has scarcely a 
volume of respectable poetry —so called— 
to bless him withal ! All his poetry is a live 
substantiality—a creation—an entity of be¬ 
ing and of action—of being, real as the firm 
based earth—of action grander than Ho¬ 
meric Dreams. The “metre ballad mon¬ 
ger ” is no longer the poet of mankind—the 
swarthy mechanician takes his place—and 
the faded troubabour lingers a ghosty shad¬ 
ow beneath Barbaric tower. The soul of 
the beautiful has triumphed over manacles 
of rhyme, and the mere artifice of jingling 
lines, like the sounds of the ancient armo¬ 
rer’s hammer, an echo of disused craft ?— 
Our chivalry has found a new “ Plato of 
Proof,” in a free thought that “speaketh 
wide,” and is not afraid of new “ deeds of 
high emprize” in conquering elements to 
chain them to the car of'Truth. If it be 
poetical to have turned tho wonders of Al- 
adin’s Lamp into the realities of his every 
day life, then is your Yankee a poet of ac¬ 
tion more splendid than the Oriental's gor¬ 
geous fancy—a Sinbad of the actual voya¬ 
ges on the unknown seas of miracles, with 
the weird Science for his helmsman !— Ar¬ 
thurs Home Gazette. 
THE EVIL OF SELFISHNESS. 
The universal evil—the evil which is the 
common parent of all other evils — crea¬ 
ting and multiplying individual and social 
misery, is selfshness. No man can bo 
happy without getting out of himself. To 
prove this, only compare the feelings we 
have in tho performance of an act of hu¬ 
manity and benificence,—say ministering to 
tho comfort of a worthy, but poor and af¬ 
flicted family—compare this, I say, with an 
act which is purely selfish, though necessa¬ 
ry to life—the partaking of a hearty meal. 
In the latter the gratification is entirely 
sensual; in the former the soul expands, 
and tho affections glow in the consciousness 
of blessing, and being blessed. Selfishness 
is the parent of Avarico, which hoards in¬ 
cessantly without object or aim ; of Stingi¬ 
ness, which knows no pity, and feels no suf¬ 
fering but its own; of Malice, and Envy, 
and Revenge; for all these originate in 
some real or supposed injury or privation 
upon self—beyond, or out of which there 
is nothing either in heaven or earth. Let 
it be repeated then, until it is remembered 
that he who would bo happy must get out 
of himself. He muSis communicate if he 
would receive. He must bless if he would 
be blessed.— Rev. Dr. Bond. 
The Door Yard.—YV e love neatness.— 
Our eyes take in a stranger’s house at a 
glance. Heaven pity the man who has a 
slovenly house wife. Wealth may cast her 
favors around him, but dirt and disorder 
will make his dwelling a cheerless abode.— 
As we traverse the country, we look in upon 
the door yards. The door yard is the pro¬ 
gramme of the order of internal arrange¬ 
ments. Tho clean swept door sill and walk 
and the flowers, are no unmeaning indica¬ 
tions, and we stop with a sense of comfort 
whore wo know that “ order reigns.”— Cay¬ 
uga Chief. 
There may be more water in a flowing 
stream only four feet deep, and containing 
more force and more health, than in a sullen 
pool thirty yards to tho bottom. 
In one momont we may plunge our years 
in fatal penitence and color things with hues 
of night.— Hyper ion. 
Light thing will agitate little minds. 
GOOD MANNERS. 
There are few things which are sooner 
observed in children and young persons 
than their manners. A passenger takes his 
seat in a railroad car, or in the saloon of a 
steamboat, and finds several children about 
him. Some of them are noisy and rude.— 
The persons who are incommoded may not 
complain. They may very kindly say, “ Oh, 
they are children—let them enjoy them¬ 
selves but just look a moment at their con¬ 
duct. 
The rude children are forming a sort of 
prison with chairs, and are getting all the 
empty chairs together for the purpose. At 
length they come to one which a feeble lady 
is using. She is resting her feet on the 
round of it. They see how ft is used, and 
instead of saying, “ Excuse us, ma’am, we 
did not see that you had your feet on it,” 
they say loudly and with a whimper, “ Oh 
now your feet are on it—and we want it.”— 
Can anybody fail to see that these are very 
rude and inconsiderate children ? 
A little girl sees a stranger enter her 
| mother’s parlor. She has seen the lady be¬ 
fore at a neighbor’s house. Instead of run¬ 
ning and hiding herself in a corner, or put¬ 
ting her finger in her mouth, or covering it 
to suppress a rude laugh, she very properly 
and modestly introduces the lady to her 
mother. The lady is most favorably im¬ 
pressed by this evidence of good manners, 
and the little girl is remembered by her, 
with interest, for many years. 
Wo hope all our young friends will un¬ 
derstand. that good manners will obtain a 
thousand friends, where letters of recom¬ 
mendation and certificates of good conduct 
will make but little, if any impression.— 
Exchange. 
THE WELCOME RAIN. 
What a God-send is the rain ! For long 
weeks 
“ The dusty earth with lips apart,” 
had lain beneath tho fiercely boating rays 
of the midsummer sun. Everything was 
parched and dry; meadows were brown and 
i sere; little rills ran out as do those riveis 
j of Africa which terminate in the desert, 
I and flowers drooped and died. The sun¬ 
burnt laborer, as lie wiped the beaded 
sweat-drops from his forehead, prayed for 
rain; beast and bird, as they sought the 
cool shade of tho wood, seemod to pray for 
rain ; tho trees, with leaves all loaded with 
dust, as they were swayed by the hot breath 
of noon, to our fancy, prayed for rain; tho 
j minister from his desk but echoed the voice 
of animate and inanimate nature, when he, 
too. prayed God for rain. And it came; 
even as it did of old in answer to the pray- 
j er of the prophet. And this morning the 
| air is very cool and sweet; grass blades, 
I and babbling brook, and drooping flower, 
and sunburnt laborer, are breathing out tho 
same sentiment in unison, in tbe same 
words, with a single variation—for now, in¬ 
stead of prayer, it is praise God for rain !—

I WILL. 
We like that strong robust expression.— 
No one having uttered it sincerely was ever 
a mean, cringing man. The pigmies of the 
world diy. not trouble him, although they 
rose in masses to pull him down. He 
speaks, and tho indomitable will prevails. 
His enemies fall before him. He rides forth 
a conqueror. Would you bo great ? 
Would you he distinguished for your litera¬ 
ry or scientific efforts ? Look not mourn¬ 
fully at your lot, hut with“ 1 will! ” breath¬ 
ing upon your lips, and bursting from a 
great heart, you cannot but prevail. Show 
us the man who never rose higher than a 
toad stool and his influence died witli his 
breath, and we will point to you a cringing 
wretch who trembled at the approach of a 
spider and fainted beneath a thunder cloud. 
Let the fires of energy play through your 
veins, and if your thoughts are directed in 
the right channels, you will yet startle the 
slumbering universe.— John JVehl. 
Natural Gas. — As is very generally 
known, our village has for a long time been 
lighted by natural gas, which issues at cer¬ 
tain places spontaneously from fissures in 
the underlaying strata of rock. Tho sup¬ 
ply, however, lias hitherto proved insuffi¬ 
cient tor tho demand. On Thursday after¬ 
noon last, while a workman was engaged 
in drilling for a further supply of water in 
the well at tho Johnson House, a fissure was 
reached, from which, on the withdrawal of 
tho drill, a largo and constant current of 
gas issued, with much force, through the 
water. Upon placing a tunnel over the jet 
and applying a candle, the gas ignited, 
throwing a column of flame to the top of 
tho well, near twenty feet, and burning the 
man severely. Up to the present time, the 
gas continues to issue unfailingly, and it is 
tho intention of tho proprietors of the ho¬ 
tel to apply it to immediate use in lighting 
their building.— Frcdonia Censor. 
A True Reflection. —One of tho sad¬ 
dest items of news in tho papers, is overy 
now and then an account of the failure of 
the crops in different sections of the coun¬ 
try. How few think, when reading of tho 
ravages of a hail-storm, of the “ weevil,” or 
the “joint-worm,” desolating fields of grain, 
almost ready for the harvest, of the toil 
that cleared the forest, “logged,” burnt 
brush, plowed in new soil, and sowed the 
Seed—or of tho hopes that have attended 
its silent growth; and all to ho swept away 
at last, as it wore in a night. It is hard, 
very hard, to seo tho labors of the year 
brought to such a sad termination.— JY. Y.

“V/HAT IS MY THOUGHT LIKE?” 
Messrs. Editors :—There is a gamo fre¬ 
quently used by the younger members of 
society as a means of mental amusement, 
called, “What is my thought like?” In 
tho course of this play, many excellent 
puns are brought forth. Tho loader of 
tho party thinks of something—a noun— 
and keeping his notion to himself, in¬ 
quires of his right hand neighbor, “ What 
is my thought likeThe person asked 
must immediately respond aloud, naming 
anything that ho pleases ; tho question goes 
round tho company till everybody has stated 
some subject in answer. The leader then 
tells his thought and requires each person 
to find a comparison between tho selected 
object, and tho subject of tho answer pre¬ 
viously given. For instance, I ask a person 
what my thought is like, and am answered 
by several individuals—an auction-room—a 
dead body—a dancing master—a bed, and 
a hen-fowl. , Now here is a pleasing variety 
of similitudes to be embodied in one word, 
and that is ship, which I declare to be tho 
object thought of, and require the first 
speaker to give a reason why a ship is like 
an auction-room. Tho answer is obvious. 
sales aro requisite to both of them. Dead 
bodies require shrouds, so do ships. The 
next must be a little farther fetched. A 
ship is like a dancing master because it gives 
balls. Sheets aro the connecting points be¬ 
tween ships and beds. Why is a ship liko a 
hen-fowl ? This is rather puzzling, I con¬ 
fess ; but we must strotch a point, and say 
that although a ship cannot lay one egg, she 
can lay to, and abounds in hatch-ways.

ENIGMA. 
There’s a word of five letters, oft used to express 
The pleasure which mortals combine, 
In a flatterer’s tongue, in a woman’s caress. 
In a wager at cards, in a hazard at chess. 
Or a glass overflowing with wine. 
Omit its initial, it then is allied 
To injustice, oppression and care; 
Drop one letter more, and it hangs by your side, 
As true as a servant, as dear as a bride. 
Wheresoever you go, it is there. 
Transpose its three last, and it glitters above. 
Or quietly grazes the heath ; 
Transpose it throughout, it enlivens the grove, 
Or in battle’s hot strife, it commands you to move 
Mid carnage, destruction and death. 
Take three of its letters, and such is its fame, 
A Turk would eschew it as evil; 
Transpose its first four, it then will proclaim 
The high vault of heaven, and part of the name 
Which Milton bestowed on the devil.

THE “PUZZLE” IN Nc. 30. 
Messrs. Editors: —In Vol. Ill, No. 30, I find 
the following “Arithmetical Puzzle.” 
“ A has 20 horses, aud wishes to put them in 
five stalls, so that every stall shall have an odd 
horse. How shall he do it ?” 
If I do not misapprehend the import of the 
“ puzzle,” it is equivalent to requiring what five 
odd numbers added together will make twenty. 
I will answer the above “ quiz ” as soon as any 
any one shall show the fallacy of the following 
arithmetical 
Axiom. —The sum of any odd number of odd 
numbers is odd. 
Example.—Three odd numbers, (l-J-5-f-7=13;) 
five odd numbers, (3-j-l+l l-j-74-l=23) etc., ad 
infinitum. 
The puzzle actually requires an odd number 
(an odd horse) of odd numbers, (five stalls) to 
make an even number (twenty horses.) 
Whether Day, Davie or Perkins has the above 
“ axiom ” or not is unknown to me.

TO T£-EU FUS5LEC. 
tite see by advertisements of another Horse Power 
YY manufacturing firm of this ci’-y, that 1 hey continue 
to repeat statements concerning public exhibitions and 
trials and awards of and to their machines, which are false 
in fact, and well calculated to misrepresent to, and mis¬ 
lead, the public concerning the same. Justice toouselves, 
machines and the public, requires a statement of facts, 
leaving the inferences to he drawn by readers themselves. 
Inreferingto public exhibitions and premiums, those 
reports of most importance are omitted, (because deci¬ 
dedly unfavorable to their machines.) They also allude to 
private trials, which, up to this time, have not taken place 
to our knowledge in a single instance; and finally, claim¬ 
ing premiums which were never awarded them or their 
machines, as will be seen. They say in their circular 
“ Their capacity lias been tested by repeated trials as well 
“at the New York and Pennsylvania Fairs as on several 
“ private occasions in competition with another machine 
“ made in this city, which has been advertised to he far su- 
“ perior to ours, aud in every instance the result has been 
“about onc-third, and in some instances more, in favor of 
“ our machines. In every case except one, where we have 
“ submitted our machine to a working test at Fairs, it has 
“ taken the highest premiums, and in that excepted ease 
“ the Committee decided that our machine performed its 
“work in 8 minutes and its competitor in minutes, 
“ being nearly one-third in favor ot ours. 11 e have also 
“ exhibited ours in competition with the same machine at 
“ the State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and 
“also at the Provincial Fair in Upper Canada, at all of 
“ which we received the highest premiums, viz.: In Ohio 
“a Silver Medal and Diploma; in Michigan 820; in Penn¬ 
sylvania $10; and in Canada a Diploma- We have nu- 
“ merous similar testimonials, from County Societies, 
“ where we have always received the highest premiums 
“awarded to Chain Powers.” t 
The facts are as follows, for the truth of which the pub¬ 
lic only need refer to the reports themselves : 
At the Fair of the New York State Agricultural Society 
at Albany, in 1850, the committee unanimously awarded 
us the Highest and only Premium on the endless-chain 
Power, and in competition with three others —among 
which was the Wheeler Railway Power, made and entered 
by themselves, (the same as we have extensively manufac¬ 
tured and sold for several years.) The chairman of the 
awarding committee says of the machines as follows 
“ We spent much time in examining the various Powers, 
first with the owners, and heard all they could say. and 
then in their absence, and the result most fully convinced 
me that yours was the best; and if I wanted one, I would 
give twenty dollars more for yours than tor any other on 
the grounds.” . 
In 1851, at their Fair held at Rochester, the same Soci 
ety’s committee (than whom no men better qualified, or 
attention and care bestowed during the whole four days of 
the Fair, have been or can again he secured,) awarded us 
the Highest and only Premium, for the best Kail Road 
Horse Power, and in competition with the same Powers as 
at Albany. Tlie committee say, in their report, that “ The 
contest was tlie closest between Wheeler’s and Emery's— 
two manufacturing firms from Albany; but owing to the 
similarity of Powers, they were required to give a test hy 
threshing one hundred large bundles of wheat; and not¬ 
withstanding Wheeler’s beat Emery’s hy three minutes, 
we are of the opinion that, as a whole, Emery’s Rail Road 
Horse Power is entitled to the Premium.” 
This report of the Committee being in favor of our 
Power, aud with this difference in the results, if the su¬ 
periority of its construction and operation is not estab¬ 
lished, it certainly will be, when we state that during tlie 
three days previous, at said Fair, with an entirely new 
Power, lighter horses, and little used to working it, we 
repeatedly threshed, of the same lot of wheat, one hun¬ 
dred sheaves in ten minutes, at the same elevation and 
with hut two-thirds the travel of the horses, required by 
the Wheeler Power to do tlie same work; while the team 
used by them were following threshing with and well 
broke to their Power, and their Test Power made express¬ 
ly for, and having been previously used at several Fairs, 
and in good working order. 
Again, we would say, that in the test where there were 
hut seventy-nine sheaves (instead of one hundred, as er¬ 
roneously stated by the committee, in their report.,) we 
were required, much against our convictions of juetioo, to 
put off our team, and use in our turn the very team from 
the other Powers, and that after doing tlie other’s work, 
and wholly unused to working our slow Power, requiring 
tlieir ow'ner at tlieir heads to keep them back, and fi om 
walking overboard, ns they were inclined to do—no har¬ 
ness being used; thereby disadvantaging us to tlie extent 
of eleven minutes with the seventy-nine sheaves, or a little 
over seven sheaves per minute, instead of ten, as we had 
repeatedly done with our own team. These facts, together 
witli those of tlie Concave and Bonnet of their Thresher 
being raised for the test; also, that of their Power slipping 
its gear flying its band, slopping them nearly fifteen min¬ 
utes to repair, in the middle of the test, (which was al¬ 
lowed hv the committee,) thereby reducing their working 
time to eight minutes, or nearly ten sheaves per minute, 
just equal to our ordinary work during tlie whole Fair, 
we think should conclusively settle the question of su¬ 
periority ; and we hazard nothing in saying the committee 
will not denv one of these statements. We may here re¬ 
mark, that we consider tlie published report imperfect, 
and that justice to tlie committee as well as ourselves, re¬ 
quires the publication of these facts. 
, It may not he amiss here to say that the executive com¬ 
mittee of the State Society have so amended the rules for 
the trial of implements, &c., in future, as to include all 
time consumed by competitors in repairing and adjusting 
their machines after the test trial Is commenced. If this 
rule had been observed iu the above trial we would have 
beaten them in time some twelve minutes. 
At the Fair of the Michigan State Agricultural Society, 
in 1850, we received twenty dollars for the largest and best 
collection of Implements; also, a Diploma for our Horse 
Power. The Premium of ten dollars being awarded to the 
Wheeler’s Power. 
In 1831, at same Society’s Annual Fair, we were again 
in competition with the sumo Power, and were unanimous- 
awarded its highest and only Premium, being ten dollars 
and Diploma, (and this, too, at tlie hands of a committee, 
the majority owning and using the competing Powers on 
their farms,) for superior construction efficiency, and ease 
for team—thus redeeming its reputation from tlie effects 
of tlie adverse decision of the previous year. 
At the Fair of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture, in 
1850, we were again in competition with the Wheeler Pow¬ 
er ; ami each received a like Discretionary Premium, being 
a Silver Medal and Diploma, the first and only Premium 
being awarded to a Lever Power—Taplifl s Patent. 
At the Fair of tlie same Board of Agriculture, in 1851, 
a like competition with similar result—the only Premium 
being awarded to the same Lever Power as before. 
At the Fair of the State Agricultural Society of Penn¬ 
sylvania, in 1851, (being tlieir first Fair,) we were award¬ 
ed a Diploma for superior Rail Road Power—the First and 
only Premium being awarded to a Rack and Pinion Rail¬ 
way Power marie within that Stale, which was more per¬ 
fectly fitted and finished in all its running parts than any 
similar implement ever publicly exhibited, working with 
the least possible friction—while our own was made as 
usual, and never used for threshing twenty bushels of 
grain before being exhibited at this Fair. 
At the Fair of the American Institute, in 1851, we were 
awarded the only Premium, their “Gold Medal,” for our 
Power, competing with others. 
At the Provincial Fair held at Niagara, (Canada West) 
in 1850, we were awarded a gratuity of Ten Dollars and 
a Diploma for our Power, on exhibition with the Wheelers 
and others—the First Premium not being awarded out of 
the Provinces, but to a manufacturer in Montreal. 
At the same Provincial Fair in 1851, we did not com¬ 
pete at all—the Wheeler Power alone being exhibited from 
the States. . „ 
Our Power has been exhibited at near'y all the County 
Fairs of this and several other States, during the past two 
years, and in no case where they have been entered for 
competion and a premium awarded to anyone, have ours 
failed to receive the award ; while numerous premiums 
and awards have been received wherever they have been 
exhibited.

Extract of letter from Russel Kilbourne, Paris II ill, N. Y. 
“Sirs,—Since the first two hundred bushels of wheat 
threshed with your latest improved Railroad Horse Power 
and Threshing Machine and Separator, they have perform¬ 
ed well. Two or three farmers, neighbors near me. desire 
machines for their own use: how soon can you ship them 
after they are ordered, and can you sell them any less on 
account ot the lateness of the season? I wish very much 
to sell two orUiree of them here, if possible, not only be- 
c use I think the purchaser would he hetier pleased with 
them, but been sc Mr. Osborn, Wheeler’s agent, and who 
has one of Wheeler’s Two Horse Power Threshers and 
Winnowers here, is determined that none of yours shall 
he sold ii he can prevent it.” 
In a subsequent letter, he again writes ns : 
“The more I see of Wheeler’s Power and Winnower, 
the more 1 don’t like it. They can thresh just about 75 
bushels of first rate wheat per day.” 
Extract of letter from Win. II Chalmers, West Galway, 
Sarat ga Countv. 
“ Gentlemen.—I have a small team,and, with moderate 
e'evaiion, and without tlieir drawing in hnrn'-ss, I put 
through large sheaves of wheat at the rate of one hundred 
every ten minutes, threshing it thoroughly. Much more 
could he done Ur a shorl time; hut 1 mean witli the eleva¬ 
tion and labor of team as 1 use in following ' brushing. I 
firmly believe your improved Power Thresher and Sepa¬ 
rator will supersede anything I have seen. Many farmers 
prefer the Thresher arid Separator to the Winnowers, as 
grain can be threshed fast, r and heller without them—re¬ 
quiring less men, theteby saving sufficient time for clean¬ 
ing with a good Fanning Mill. I have seen one of Wheel¬ 
er’s Horse Powers, with Thresher and Winnower at work 
here, threshing hut one quarter as fast as I do with your 
machines. An eight horse power, with Thresher and 
Cleaner, working in ibis vicinity, requiring twice as many 
men, is pronounced, hy these taking away ttie straw from 
loth,to thresh less per day than mine. I wish you to 
write me if you hive made any improvements since mine, 
and have you Powers, &c., on hand, as 1 expect to sell 
some.” 
Exti act from letter of Peter Webber, Herkimer, N. Y., 
February 2, 1852. 
“ Gentlemen,—After giving your improved Horse Pow¬ 
er Thresher and Separaior a thorough trial, I consider it 
superior to any I have seen or tried: it works io my per¬ 
fect satisfaction. Iliad given the others a trial before or¬

I feet a pleasure in recommending it to fanners in general 
as being well made, and as having no equal iu arrange¬

Extract of a letter from W. I). Mason, Jefferson, Ohio, 
November 30, 1851. 
“Gentlemen,—I write to know the terms of your Im¬ 
proved Rail Road Horse Power. I enclose a copy of 
Wheeler’s, which 1 received from his agent; and if yours 
come near the same, you may consider this au order for 
one, for which 1 will remit as soon as 1 get your answer. 
I have tried Wheeler’s Power at the request of his agent, 
but find the friction so creat upon the pinions that it causes 
me to think it can not be a lasting power.” 
The great excess of the demand being for our Threshers 
and Separated instead of Cleaners, we aie compelled to 
confine ourselves and facilities cliietly to the fottner, m i¬ 
king Cleaners only to order, and at the price of one hun¬ 
dred dollars each instead of seventy-five as heretofore ad¬ 
vertised hy us. 
From our own observations, and the slow adoption of 
the Cleaner combined, when used 1>> farmers with barns 
and for the r own purposes, we would not r. commend 
them on the ground of economy, as the grain can gene¬ 
rally be threshed better and faster with ihe Separator; and 
the simplicity of the one as compared with the other to¬ 
gether with the difference of skill required in those att tid¬ 
ing both kinds, is vastly in favor of the Thresher and 
Separator. Again, with the Separator the straw is more 
valuable, as il is entirely free from th dust, dirt aud line 
chaff which is mixed thoioughly through the whole mass 
by the current of air thrown from a the. tier. 
”ln field threshing and where time is of the greatest con¬ 
sideration, and there is risk from exposure to weather, tlie 
. traw of little value, large Cleaners, with more men and 
horses, are often preferable. For further pariicuiars
