March, 
WHEELER’S PATENT IMPROVED PORTABLE 
Eaikoad Morse Powers and Overshot Threshers and Separators. 
TXAVING sold about two hundred and fifty sets of these Powers 
- S ” L and Threshers during the past eighteen months, many of which 
were purchased by some of the large Wheat Growers in this State, 
Vermont, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin and Canada, and without,, 
exception having given! entire satisfaction, (which was guarantied 
in all cases,) I do not hesitate to recommend them to Farmers and 
Mechanics desiring such machines, as being in my opinion the most 
convenient, if not superior in all respects, to any others now in use. 
Very many flattering testimonials have been received, several of 
them estimating the cost of threshing at less than one half that with 
the ordinary sweep Powers, with from four to six horses. These 
machines have been extensively used in the eastern part of the state 
®f New York, and generally through New Jersey and eastern Penn¬ 
sylvania, nearly six years, and with a constantly increasing demand. 
The first machines put in use, and which have been in constant use, 
are nearly good as new; the only expense attending their use is the 
od for the wearing parts, thereby establishing the fact that they are 
not only cheap, and within the reach and control of every ordinary 
farmer, but durable and cheaply kept in order. Some of the prin¬ 
cipal advantages of these machines are the following: 
The power itself occupies but very little space, and is operated 
wholly, if desired, by the weight of the horse, the Power being 
placed at an angle of ten or fifteen degrees only, according To the 
weight of the hor^e, which is found sufficient for tlireshing'all grains 
sawing wood, &c. It is comparatively light and portable, and can 
readily be handled by two men, and used on any common threshing 
floor, thereby securing ease and safety both to man and beast du¬ 
ring stormy weather. The moving parts are very simple, as suffi¬ 
cient speed for all purposes is obtained with but one shaft, without 
gearing; thus avoiding a great amount of friction, which is unavoid¬ 
able in mast other machines in use. *The Thresher is new in many 
respects, and has several important advantages over most others- 
By having an overshot cylinder, it admits of a level feeding table, 
and the person feeding it stands erect, also has the eontrol of the 
horse, and by means of a brake, the power can easily be checked 
or stopped by him with perfect safety, thereby often avoiding acci¬ 
dents. By this overshot motion, all hard substances are prevented 
from getting in, avoiding the danger of spikes being broken and 
thrown out—not an instance being known of such accident... By 
this machine, the grain is not scattered, but thrown upon the floor 
withimhree feet of it, and admiis a Separator to be attached suffi¬ 
ciently high from the floor for all the grain to fall through it, while 
the straw is carried quite over in good condition for binding, the 
straw not being cut or grain broken. The cylinder is considerably 
less in diameter than most machines in use, and has only about one- 
third as many spikes, but double the number in the concave, which 
admits of greater speed with the same power. It is also, several 
inches longer, which gives ample room for feeding it to much bet¬ 
ter advantage. The Separator has been sold with each Thresher, 
and is considered indispensible, as it makes a perfect separation of 
the straw and grain, leaving the latter in- the best possible condi¬ 
tion for the fanning mill. Three men with a single power, can 
thresh 75 to 100 bushels of wheat or rye, or four men with a double 
Power, 175 to 225 bushels of wheat or rye, or double that quantity 
of oats or buckwheat, per day; and with fanning mill, attached to 
the Power, and one man to attend it, the grain can be cleaned for 
market at the same time. 
They can be taken apart and packed very compactly, and forward¬ 
ed to any distance by canal, rail road or wagon. The Single Pow¬ 
er, with Thresher, Separator, &c., weighs nearly 1100 pounds; the 
Douple Power, with the other apparatus complete, weighs nearly . 
1700 pounds.

All Machines and Powers are warranted to perform according to 
the foregoing statements, and in case the purchaser is not satisfied, 
himself being the judge, they may be returned within three months 
at my expense, and the purchase money refunded. 
TERMS.— Cash on delivery of the Machines. All orders should

delivered in care of railroad, canal or steam boat in Albany, Ro¬ 
chester, or Buffalo, the lowest rates for transportation from Albany 
only being added to the published prices. Remittances by mail at 
my risk. That the public may rely upon the foregoing statements, 
they are referred to the following certificate. 
11 The subscriber hereby gives notice that he has disposed of his 
interest in'the Albany Agricultural Warehouse to Mr. Horace L. 
Emery, who will hereafter continue the business in his own name, 
(at his new stand No. 369 Broadway, Albany.) All demands against 
the establishment will be paid by him ; and all persons indebted to 
it, to settle their accounts with him without delay. Mr. Emery 
has had the entire management of-the Albany Agricultural Ware¬ 
house since it has been in my hands, and from an acquaintance thus 
formed with him, and from his long experience in the business, ha¬ 
ving been engaged in it some ten years, five of which was spent in 
the establishment of Messrs. Ruggles, Nourse & Mason, at Boston 
and Worcester, Mass , (the largest in America,) I feel an entirecon- 
fidence in commending him to the public, as one in whose integrity 
and judgment, the patrons of the establishment mav safely rely.’’

safe and speedy delivery and shipment of machines, and fulfilment 
of orders from a great distance, thereby avoiding the often long and 
perplexing delayg occasioned by the irregularities of canal and lake 
navigation and inattention of disinterested forwarding and commis¬
