WHEELEAS PATENT RAILROAD HORSE POWERS AND 
Overshot Threshing Machines & Separators. 
THE public are cautioned to be particular in ordering the above 
& machines, that they are not deceived, and instead of getting 
a genu ue article (of *• Wheeler’s Patent ” and made by " them¬ 
selves,’’) are put off with a different kind, made by different men, 
and which, not having been long before the public, are without 
character or reputation as to durability or efficiency. Such ma¬ 
chines are now being made and sold in the city of New-York, and 
advertised as “ Allen's Improved Railr. ad H rse Power, und Over¬ 
shot Threshing Machines ond Rep 1 rat or *,” claiming for them all 
the advantages guaranteed with Wheeler’s Patent Machines.” 
Now, therefore, be it distinctly understood, that no one has been 
authorised by the patentees to make Wheeler's Patent Horse Pow- 
eis, and no other power is offered in the market possessing their 
qualities as regards simplicity, efficiency, or durability. The ge¬ 
nuine may be known by the brand and marks, 
( wheeler’s patent, ) 
( July 8 . 1841. f 
Communications concerning the above machines are solicited, 
and will receive prompt attention. Liberal commissions allowed 
to those who wish to buy to sell again. H. L. EM ERY,

ALL THE VALUABLE INFORMATION 
Known at the present time, relative to 
FRUITS AND FRUIT CULTURE. 
It will contain 
THREE HUNDRED ACCURATE ENGRAVINGS, 
And will include condensed and full descriptions of all fruits of 
merit or celebrity cultivated or known in the country. 
To prevent confusion in a numerous list of varieties, careful at¬ 
tention has for years been given to effect the clear and systematic 
arrangement adopted in this work : and further to enable the rea¬ 
der to know at a. glance, the various grades of excellence, the 
quality is designated by the size of the type used for the name. 
The numerous figures of fruits are 
EXACT IMPRESSIONS 
Of average specimens. The descriptions have been prepared in 
nearly every case, from the fruits themselves ; and to distinguish 
fixed from accidental characters, careful comparison has been ex¬ 
tensively made with specimens from several different states, and 
with the descriptions in the best American works on Fruits. 
To determine the qualities as adapted to different regions, assis¬ 
tance has been largely furnished by a number of the most eminent 
pomologists of the Union. 
The whole will form a handsome duodecimo volume, at the low 
price of One Dollar. 
Peruvian Guano. 
J UST arrived from the Chinohe Islands, 730 tons first quality 
Peruvian Guano. Six years’ of experience in the use of this 
guano by our farmers and gardeners, in the States bordering the 
Atlantic coast, has proved it far superior to any other, and the 
cheapest manure they can purchase. It is particularly valuable for 
wheat and other winter grain, grass, and in fact, all crops grown.
