NEW-YORK STATE AGRICULTURAL WORKS, 
BY WHEELER, MELICK & CO., ALBANY, N " Y. 
T HE subscribers are now making- for the trade of 1854, a 
much larger number of all articles in their line, than 
they have in any previous year, and have made several im¬ 
provements, which will raise their machines still higher in 
the public estimation. 
As the limits of an advertisement will not admit of an ex¬ 
planation of all the advantages of our Machines, and as most 
of them are so well known as to need no commendation, we 
will make this statement brief, and for more detailed informa¬ 
tion, we refer to our printed catalogue, which will be sent by 
mail, postage free , when requested. 
As we give our entire attention to the improving and man- 
ufaetufmg of Horse Powers, Threshing Machines, and a few 
other articles, we feel warranted in assuring the public that 
they will find each of the following Machines unsurpassed. 
Wheeler’s Patent Railway Chain Horse Powers. 
These Powers, (represented in the above cut.) are unri¬ 
valed for driving all kinds of Farmers’. Planters’, and other 
Machinery, which admits of being driven by Horse Power. 
They are made for either one or two horses, and their supe¬ 
rior merits, in point of durability, strength and ease of run¬ 
ning. are fully established; while their compaetness-and sim¬ 
plicity, lightness, and,greater length and width of treading 
floor and stall, give them advantages over other Powers, 
which are highly appreciated by those who have tried them. 
Several thousands of them are in use, some of which have 
threshed over 100,000 bushels, and though our present Pow¬ 
ers are much improved over the old ones of the same kind, 
yet the latter are si ill good Over 1,000 of them were sold 
by us and our agents the past season, (a larger number than 
in any previous year,) thus proving their increasing popu¬ 
larity. 
Wheeler’s Patent Combined Thresher & Winnower. 
This Machine, (also represented in the cut,) is a late in¬ 
vention. It was got out three years ago, after a long series 
of experiments resulting in a machine which performs the 
three operations of Threshing.. Separating and Winnoioing, 
with as much despatch, and as few hands and horses as are 
required to thresh and separate only with other machines, 
and although designed for so complicated work, it is yet a 
model of simplicity and compactness. The entire running 
parts are driven by the main belts and one small band. We 
have no doubt it is the most perfect machine in use for 
Threshing and Winnowing. .Driven by two horses, they 
thresh and clean from 150 to 200 bushels of wheat, or twice 
that quantity of oats per day. 
From the Valley Farmer of August. 1853. 
Wheeler’s Combined Thresher and Winnower. 
We take pleasure in laying before our readers the follow¬ 
ing extract from a letter just received by us from a very re¬ 
spectable individual in Cape Girardeau county, Mo., to whom 
we sold one of these machines about a week ago, with the 
understanding that if it did not work to his satisfaction he 
could return it to St. Louis at our expense. It will be recol¬ 
lected that the manufacturers warrant these machines to 
thresh and clean from 150 to 200 bushels of wheat per day, or 
twice' that quantity of oats:— 
Apple Creek. Mo., July 18, 1853. 
Mr. E. Aeeo.tt—D ear Sir :—I have tried my Thresher aiid 
Winnower, and it has given entire satisfaction. I have moved 
the machine one mile, set it up, and threshed 242 bushels of 
wheat in one day, and have threshed 40 bushels an hour. It 
works finely, and is considered the best machine to thresh and 
save grain in Southeast Missouri. It canH go back to St. 
Louis. I think I shall thresh from 8,000 to 10,000 bushels of 
wheat this season. Yours truly, James F. Colyer. 
Having sold between 300 and 400 of the Winnowers during 
the past season, we could if space permitted, give many other 
testimonials to tlieir utility, but the above must suffice 
Wheeler’s Overshot Thresher and Separator. 
This Machine is also our own invention, and has been in 
use 13 or 14 years, and its many advantages are appreciated 
by other Manufacturers, as well as the farming public. Driv¬ 
en by our double Power, it threshes and separates from the 
straw from 150 to 200 bushels of Wheat, oi twice as much 
Oats, per day. For the Single or One Horse Power we make 
a smaller Thresher and Separator, which threshes from 75 to 
100 bushels of Wheat per day. The small Machine is adapt¬ 
ed to moderate sized farms, and as tire Single Power is suffi¬ 
cient for sawing wood, churning, cutting stalks, straw, &c., 
and driving almost every kind of Machine used by Farmers, 
and is capable, by changing horses and elevating the power, 
properly, of threshing much faster than we stated above, it 
is a very popular machine in some sections. We would also 
call especial attention to our Clover Hollers, Portable Saw 
Mills, and Stalk and Straw Cutlers, either of which are 
adapted to both our Double and Single Powers. 
tnr”All our machines are warranted to give entire satisfac¬ 
tion, or they may be returned at the expiration of a reasona¬ 
ble time for trial. PRICES:
