With recent important improvements. Manufactured at the AGRICULTURAL WORKS, 
and sold , wholesale and retail, at the AGRICULTURAL WAREHOUSE 
AND SEED STORE OF HORACE L. EMERY, 
Nos. 369 & 371 Broadway, Altoan , N. Y. 
•THE Subscriber has at great expense of time and money done 
much to introduce these machines throughout the country gene¬ 
rally, and with such success that he is fully satisfied of their superior¬ 
ity over every other kind of Threshing Machinery in use, with which 
he is acquainted. 
Probably no other machines yet invented have met with so rapid 
an introduction, gone so extensively into use, or given such uni¬ 
versal and uniform satisfaction. 
The rapidly increasing demand has induced him to erect during the 
past years, (1848—1849,) a spacious manufactory in this city, to facili¬ 
tate the manufacturing, and better supply the wants of the farming 
community. 
These increased facilities, together with his extensive Ware rooms, 
and complete assortment of every desirable article of Implement or 
Seeds wanted by the farmer, enable him to offer great inducements 
to the public to purchase their supplies of and through him, whether 
for their own use or to sell again. 
Particular attention is called to the RAILROAD HORSE POW¬ 
ER, & OVERSHOT THRESHING MACHINES & SEPARA¬ 
TORS, as recently improved, by which the application of power is 
applied from the Endless Platform to the shaft of the driving band 
wheel, in such a manner as to remove the liability of breaking of links 
and wearing of the small wheels , and the slipping and wearing of the 
links and pinions in consequence, is wholly avoided. Greater 
Strength, Durability, and Lighter Friction are secured. All of 
which being important points not before attained in these machines. 
They are^c omparatively light and portable—the One Horse Pow¬ 
er, complete, weighing about 1100 pounds; the Two Horse Power, 
complete, weighing about 1900 pounds. When they are to be often 
removed, an axle and wheels are attached, forming of itself a wag¬ 
on. When in use, one pair of wheels are removed. 
They are operated by the weight of tire horse or horses, at an ele¬ 
vation of about one and a-half to two inches to the foot, or 16 to 22 
niches, according to the weight of the horses. 
Three men, with the one Horse Power and a change of horses 
twice a day can readily thresh from 75 to ICO bushels wheat or rye ; 
or four men, with a Two Horse Power, with the same team, can 
thrash from 150 to 200 bushels wheat or rye, or double that quantity 
of oats or buckwheat per day. 
All can be operated inside of barns, in stormy weather, when men. 
and teams could do little else to advantage. 
The Thresher is Overshot, and is driven without any crossing of 
bands. The feeder stands erect and is not annoyed with dust. 
There is no liability of accident from the spikes, &c.—as no hard 
substances can injure or break them. A Separator is attached to all 
the Threshers, and answers an admirable purpose for separating the 
straw from the grain, leaving it with the fine chaff, fit for the Fan¬ 
ning Mill. 
They have been exhibited in operation by the subscriber during 
the past three years, at all the principal State and County Fairs of 
New-York, Massachusetts, Ohio and Canadas, and been extensive¬ 
ly introduced and used among the farmers of those states, and Ver¬ 
mont, Rhode Island, Connecticut,Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes¬ 
see, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. 
The First Premiums of the Societies have been awarded them, 
and the highest ecomiums of committees and farmers have been 
bestowed upon them for their Simplicity, Efficiency, Utility, 
Durability and Cheapneess. 
They can be taken in pieces and packed very compactly, and for¬ 
warded to any part of the country, by railroad, canal or steamboats. 
He has efficient agents for receiving and forwarding machines in 
all the principal towns and cities in the states of New-York, Michi¬ 
gan, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa. Wisconsin, Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri, 
Vermont, &e.; and all machines delivered on board boats, cars, &c., 
and freights always contracted for at the lowest rates, and shipping 
bills made out and forwarded, without extra charge for same, insur¬ 
ing speed, safety, and reasonable charges for transportation.

sixty, or ninety days, with interest.

within three months, and purchase money refunded.

Warehouse and Seed Store, Agricultural Papers, and Reports of

cultural machinery, he feels assured the public will hazard nothing 
in purchasing their Agricultural Implements and Machinery of and
