AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS, &c. 
T HE undersigned are Agents in this city to sell the follow¬ 
ing celebrated machines, viz: 
Hussey’s Premium Corn and Cob Crusher. 
Dickey’s u Fanning Mill. 
Platt’s lt Portable Grist Mill. 
Hovey’s Premium Straw Cu'ter, (Spiral knives.) 
Warren’s 11 “ 
Hull’s Stalk and Straw Cutter. 
Being proprietors of the now celebrated “ Warren’s Improved Por¬ 
table Horse Powers and Threshing Machines,” for one. two and four 
horses, t'iey continue to manufacture and sell them with increased 
success and satisfaction. Of the two horse machines, one correspon¬ 
dent states, “ after a fair trial with barley and wheat with two horses. I 
can thresh in a clean and thorough manner, at least 30 bushels of 
the former,in 1 hour,with comparative ease to the horses; and this day, 
without driving them at all hard, in sixty minutes, 200 sheaves of 
wheat of a lame size Were threshed out in a clean and excellent man¬ 
ner, which is about 15 bushels. The straw, after threshing, is easily 
bundled; and as it comes out whole and unbroken, 1 consider these 
machines on that account important; and as only three hands are re¬ 
quired to do the work well, 1 think the great saving of labor such an 
item as to make them what is much needed by many of our farmers 
in this section of country.”
