Wheeler’s Patent Improved Railway Chain 
Horse Power , and Overshot Thresher fy Separator. 
•TVHE subscribers, proprietors of the Patents for these Machines, 
and manufacturers of them, having recently increased their fa¬ 
cilities for manufacturing are now prepared to fill orders for ma¬ 
chines, and to establish and supply agencies to any extent that may 
be desired. 
These machines are favorably known wherever they have been 
used or exhibited. They have taken premiums at many different 
State and County Fairs held in Massachusetts, New York, New 
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio and also in Canada, never having com¬ 
peted for premiums without success and flattering commendations. 
As many as 2,000 of them are now in use, of which over 500 
were sold the past season. 
The accompanying cut gives a view of a two horse machine at 
work, with the hands necessary to attend it. It will thresh from 
125 to 200 bushels of wheat, or twice the quantity of oats per day. 
The one horse power or single machines thresh rather more than 
half as fast as the double ones. 
These horse powers are strong and durable, and run extremely 
light. With one end of the power slightly elevated (as represent¬ 
ed in the annexed cut,) the weight of the horse alone affords suffi¬ 
cient power to thresh at the Tate before stated, or to drive circular 
und upright saws, or any other machines used by farmers requir¬ 
ing propelling power. 
The Overshot Thresher takes the grain from a level feeding ta¬ 
ble or apron, (of a proper height to allow the feeder to stand erect 
and feed, without annoyance from dust,) and passes it through a 
toothed or spiked concave or bed, placed over the cylinder. A re¬ 
cent improvement admits of lowering the concave so as to bring 
it nearer the cylinder, and at the same time so varying the inclina¬ 
tion of the spikes, as to set the machine for threshing tough or 
damp grain, or short oats, and resetting it at pleasure, for long rye 
or wheat or oats in good order, or for timothy, grass or clover, and 
all this is accomplished without stopping the machine, so simple is 
the process. By means of the Separator, the straw, as it comes 
from the Thresher, is effeciually separated from the grain. 
The Power, Thresher and Separator, complete, for either one 
or two horses, is easily loaded on a common farm wagon; but 
where frequent moving" is desired, the two horse machines are 
placed on wheels in such a manner that when used for threshing, 
the forward wheels are removed, dropping that end of the power, 
and leaving the opposite end elevated on the other axle, ready to 
receive the horses. By this arrangement, (which has been made 
for the convenience of those who make threshing a business, and 
for partnership machines,) two men can with ease set a two horse 
machine ready for work in 15 minutes, and re-load it for moving 
in the same time. 
W , M & Go. also manufacture Stalk. Hay and Straw Cutters, 
to be used with their Horse Powers, and also Circular Saws and 
Benches, for cutting ordinary fire wood, and locomotive and other 
fuel. 
Every machine made or sold by W. M. & Co , or their agents, 
is warranted to work to the satisfaction of the purchaser, or it 
may be returned to them, or to the agent of whom it may have 
been purchased, within sixty days, and the purchase money, (if 
paid,) will be refunded. 
These machines are so light, compact, and easily handled, as to 
admit of transportation to any part of the country with trifling ex¬ 
pense—the weight of the two horse machine, complete, being less 
than 2,000 pounds, and of the one horse, about 1,200. 
The mauufacturers are now establishing agencies in all parts of 
the United States and Canadas, where they are needed to facilitate 
the sale of these machines. Good agents are wanted in the South¬ 
ern and Western States and the Canadas, to whom liberal commis¬ 
sions will be allowed. 
HORACE L. EMERY, Esq., is a general agent for the sale of 
these machines in the State of New-York, and is sole agent for the 
city of New-York, and the New England States. 
Our other agents, as far as definitely ascertained, are—Rapalje

Sleight, Esq., Poughkeepsie ; F. F. Parker & Brother, Detroit;

No Humbug,, 
HPHE undersigned, after 20 years’ experience and much research, 
x has discovered a cheap chemical compound, easily applied, which 
completely prevents the ravages of the Bee-moth, and which can be 
adapted to each and every kind of hive, whether patent or otherwise. 
This discovery he will impart to any individual on the receipt of one 
dollar. It being understood the purchaser shall hold himself honor¬ 
ably pledged, not to impart the information to others. The whole 
contained in a circular, to which is added several valuable sugges¬ 
tions in the construction of hives and management of bees, worth 
more than any patent hive in existence.

10 5 000 Acres el ILosig jssHmid JLand for Sale, 
At Lake Road Station , or Irvington. 
THE undersigned is, and has been for several years, engaged in the 
A improvement and cultivation of the wild lands of Long Island. 
The fact being now fully established, beyond any doubt, that ihe 
land in the middle parts of the Island, along the borders of the L. I. 
Railroad, is as good and productive, when cultivated in the same 
manner, as any other part of Long Island. 10.000 acres are now of¬ 
fered for sale, in parcels to suit purchasers, fiorn 10 acres, to 100, or 
1,000, at a very low price, and-on favorable terms. 'This, tract is 
near the geographical centre of the Island, being about equi distant 
from Long Island Sound, and the Great South Bay, (the Island being 
about 13 miles wide there,) and 4S miles from New-York. 
There are many highly cultivated farms in the immediate vicinity, 
on the north and south side of this land,—having been settled and 
cultivated more than 150 years. It is well watered, being bounded 
on the north by the famous Ronkonkama Lake—has also a large and 
never failing stream running through it. The lake and stream are 
full of fish—perch in the lake, and trout, in great abundance and of 
large size, in the stream. The country abounds in game, deer, and 
wild fowl. 
The climate is mild and perfectly healthy, the- surface is smooth, 
gently undulating, with an inclination to the south of about 15 feet 
to the mile—the soil—free from stone, easy and pleasant to cultivate 
—is a loam, large portions of which may be called a heavy loam, or 
it is of sufficient tenacity to make sun-burnt brick, right out of the 
surface—is from 18 inches to 3 and 5 feet deep, and is susceptible of 
the highest degree of cultivation. The railroad passes through this 
tract, affording easy and constant communication with the Brooklyn 
and New-York markets, where the highest price in cash, can always 
be had for every article that the farmer and gardener can produce. 
To capitalists, an excellent opportunity is here presented to obtain a 
large tract of valuable land at a low price, possessing all the advan¬ 
tages for settlement of a new country, with out any of the privations,— 
but with all the privileges and comforts of an old one. Apply to A. 
B. Allen, Esq., Editor of the American Agriculturist , 187 Water 
Street, New-York, or to E. F. PECK, 
306 State Street, Brooklyn, L. I. 
OCT^Lake Road is an important and central depot on the Railroad 
—there are large buildings and a settlement there.

THIS Horse will stand the present season at the stable of the 
subscribers in Warren, Mondays and Thursdays: at Waits- 
field, Tuesdays and Wednesdays; and at the village in Rochester, 
Fridays and Saturdays. 
This horse was sired by the celebrated Old Woodbury Morgan, 
afterwards known by. the name of Burbank Morgan. His dam 
was known by the name of Empress, and wn.s sired by the origi¬ 
nal Justin Morgan Horse. It will therefore be seen that this horse 
possesses equally as much Morgan blood as either ot the four Stal¬ 
lions sirfed by the Original Morgan, and more Morgan blood than 
any other stallion now living, except the Old Gifford, which was 
sired by the same horse. For further particulars, see our bills.

Ij’OR SALE, at Mount Ida Nursery, Troy, N. Y., a choice varie- 
tv of Fruit Trees, comprising Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, 
and Cherries, of the most approved kinds—the greater part of them 
worked from bearing trees, and all of them by the subscriber—there¬ 
fore he can recommend them with confidence. He would also say 
to those that have not had the experience, that trees brought from 
the South (if they do live) do not grow as thrifty for a number of 
years, as those raised in a Northern latitude, which many persons 
can prove from experience. He also pays particular attention to the 
transplanting of his trees so as to have them well rooted.
