field, in which he was naturally prompted to move— 
that “ rural sights and sounds” were more congenial 
to his feelings than those of ^ blood and carnage.” 
His happiness was more promoted by the use of the 
plowshare than the sword. The weapons of war were j 
adopted, not from choice, but from the necessities of 
his country, and at her urgent call ; and though in 
this cause they were wielded with energy and success, 
they were retained no longer than was necessary for 
the accomplishment of a just purpose. 
But we have not, at the present time, space for a 
lengthened notice of this work, hut shall refer to it 
more particularly in our next number; in the mean 
time we would cordially recommend it to public atten¬ 
tion.

RECOMMENDATIONS. 
As to the HorsePower and Threshing machine, my opinion re¬ 
mains unchanged. The principle I like. A short time since J had 
some laborers to work for me who, on seeing ray power, remarked 
that they had heard that l had a baby threshing machine, from 
which the horses could eat the straw as soon as threshed. I told 
them they should judge for themselves, as I should use it the same 
day. In the afternoon I threshed with my two poney horses (fast 
walkers) one hundred and twenty-one bushels of oats in the space 
of one hundred and four minutes, which was the best refutation of 
the story they had heard that l could offer. J. G. Stacey. 
Geneva, N. Y., March 3, 1843. 
All the articles you sent me I am pleased with. Grant’s Fanning 
Mill cleans as well as I could desire—Steven’s Hay Cutter performs 
admirably. 
The Horse Power Threshing Machine and Separator will turn 
out from the sheaf with four hands, one. hundred and fifty bushels 
of wheat per day. Two horses or mules are quite sufficient for 
the power, running it the whole day or week without a change— 
£00 large sheaves were threshed with it in 17 minutes, making 8 
bushels of wheat. With good attention and a little exertion, 200 
bushels of wheat can be threshed and cleaned in the best manner 
from sun to sun with two horses without a change. 
Jonesborough, Union Co., III. Elijah Willard. 
Dear Sir—Wheeler’s Threshing Machine and Power, &c., which 
I purcha.-ed from you, has proved so satisfactory in every respect 
that the farmers around me, and ail those who have seen it in op¬ 
eration, pronounce it in all parts the most durable, easy, economi¬ 
cal and efficient contrivance ever invented. 
I have threshed 2(00 bushels of grain of all kinds with it. and it 
is fully up to all it is recommended to do. Many farmers say they 
would have no other machine for threshing-—and I think you will 
have many orders for them from my neigborhood, as there is noth¬ 
ing like it manufactured in this country. J. N. Rottiers. 
Lafargeville, N. Y. 
The Horse Power Threshing Machine exceeds my expectations. 
With an elevation of only 16 inches I placed on my horses, weigh¬ 
ing together 18 or J9 hundred pounds, which gave me sufficient 
epeed to thresh: and as it became a little worn and smooth and 
well oiled, the speed increased to such a rale that 1 was obliged to 
feed it with all possible haste to keep the speed down. I have 
tested its power and efficiency, and find it to be equal if not supe¬ 
rior to any I have seen both as to quantity and quality of its work, 
and easy work for horses. Timothy D. White. 
South Hero, Vt., Nov. 19, 1847. 
We each have had one one of Wheeler’s Horse Power and 
Threshing Machines in use more than a year, and are gratified to 
say that they have proved all they are recommended to be—and 
we believe them in all respects, in simplicity, durability, econ¬ 
omy, and efficiency the best machines in use. Having threshed 
all kinds of grain, and sawed a large quantity of wood for our¬ 
selves and about the county, &c , & c , we do not hesitate to re¬ 
commend 'them to those wishing to purchase. M. L. Chaffer, 
Schoharie Court House, N. Y Abram Dietz. 
Dear Sir—I have made thorough trial of the Horse Power and 
Threshing machine, and do most cord ally acknowledge that it 
works admirably, and gives great satisfaction. 1 have allowed it 
to be used by one of my townsmen as a matter of experiment; and 
he is s<* well pleased with the operation that he has decided to pur¬ 
chase one the coming season—and I think my having ibis here may 
prove to you the means of many sales. IJ. H. \V. Sigourney. 
New England Village, Mass., Sept. 24. 1847 
“ KENDALL’S CHURN.” The sale of 
this Churn has been unequalled in the 
history of Churns. As they are all war¬ 
ranted to work to the satisfaction of pur¬ 
chasers. there is little risk in trying them.
