HORSE POWERS AND THRESHERS. 
T HE attention of farmers is invited to Wheeler’s Patent Horse 
Powers, an engraving and description of which is given in 
the Cultivator for Feb., 1847. Among the advantages of this 
power are its compact size and lightness, and the ease with which 
sufficient speed can be obtained for threshing, without gearing, and 
consequently greatly lessening the friction. It will be found a great 
labor-saving machine, as it may be attached to Threshing Ma¬ 
chines Circular Saws for sawing, Straw-Cutters, or any other 
machine which it is wished to impel by motive power. Price, for 
snwle horse power, $75—for two horses $95. . 
Al«o Wheeler’s Spike Thresher, with a cylinder of 14 inches 
in diameter, and 22 inches long, with the concave filled with spikes 
on the upper side, thus avoiding accidents by preventing stones or 
other substances getting into the Thresher. Another advantage of 
this Thresher is, that it scatters the grain much less than many 
others. Price,$28—with Separator attached, $35. The Separator 
divides the straw and grain, by a shaking motion which it re¬ 
ceives from a crank attached to the Thresher, thus saving the work 
of one or two men with rakes. 
With this Horse Power and Thresher, 200 bushels of oats, or 
100 of wheat may be threshed per day, with a change of horses. 
The above machines constantly on hand at the Albany Ag.

TO NEW-YORK FARMERS AND EMIGRANTS. 
/NNE hundred and fifteen thousand acres Illinois Lands for sale, 
i n tracts of 40, 80, 120, 160 acres, or more, to suit purchasers. 
The lands are all first rate, and among the very best in the state, 
and are situated in the counties most densely settled, viz., 
Morgan, Scott, Cass, Mason, Menard, Green, Sangamon, Logan, 
Christian, Mason, McLean, Woodford, and Macoupin. To actual 
settlers every reasonable indulgence will be given as to time of 
payment. The price from $3 to $5 per acre. 
A correspondent of one of the New-York papers, writes re¬ 
specting this section of Illinois as follows : 
“ Beardstown , Cass Co., III., Jan. 10, 1846. 
The Riches of the West —Gothamites on the Wing.— It is 
now six weeks since I left the city of Gotham, during which time I 
have seen considerable of this western country, and I must say the 
beautiful prairies of Illinois, far exceed what I had anticipated, 
and this country may truly be called the garden of the world. 
There is nothing to prevent farmers in this country from getting 
rich, as the land is the most fertile in the world, and it will pro¬ 
duce everything grown in the vegetable kingdom. 
“ A New England man would hardly believe me if I tell him 
that some farmers here produce ten thousand bushels of corn, and 
half as many bushels of wheat in a year, to say nothing of cattle 
and hogs, of which seme raise as mail}'- as five hundred head. One 
farmer told me that he raised the last year 6000 bushels of corn, 
and it was all produced by the labor of two men only. 
“ Cattle and sheep feed upon the prairies all winter, as they are 
■cldom covered with snow.” 
Most of the above lands may be cultivated 109 years or more 
without manuring, being of the richest alluvial soil. The titles are 
indisputable, and the lands will be sold at low prices and in quan¬ 
tities to suit purchasers. Letters (post paid) addressed to D. B. 
Ayres, Esq., o! Jacksonville, Ill., or the subscriber, will receive 
prompt attention. As many persons out of the state have an idea 
that the taxes are very burdensome in Illinois, we state that they 
range from $1.50 to $2.00 per annum, on 80 acres of land.

I. T. GRANT & CO.’S PATENT PREMIUM FAN 
MILLS. 
T HE subscribers, manufacturers of these celebrated mills, hav¬ 
ing enlarged their manufacturing establishment, hopes to be 
enabled hereafter to supply promptly the rapidly increasing de¬ 
mand for that article. These mills have been repeatedly tried, and 
the principle upon which they operate thoroughly examined and 
tested by committees appointed by the State Agriculutral Society, 
and in every instance have been declared greatly superior to any 
that have come in competition with them. They have taken the 
first premium at four of the New-York State Agricultural Fairs, 
(being all at which they have been exhibited.) and at the State 
Fairs in Pennsylvania and Maryland. Our mills took the first pre 
mium, and we were awarded a silver medal for the new improve¬ 
ment. at the Fair of the American Institute in JS46, and ihey re¬ 
ceived the highest consideration at the great National Fair, re¬ 
cently held at the city of Washington. Wherever they have been 
exhibited, they have received the unqualified commendation of ag¬ 
riculturists, and are believed to be the only mills ever invented or 
manufactured, that will chaff and screen wheat perfectly clean 
(and at the raie of one bushel per minute) at one operation, taking 
out the chess, cockle, and smut at the same time. They will also 
thoroughly clean all other kinds of grains and seeds by running it 
through once. We manufacture four sizes, varying in price from 
$21 for No. 1, to $27 for No. 4, and have no hesitation in -war¬ 
ranting them superior to anything of the kind now in use. 
We also manufacture very superior Grain Cradles , which have 
taken the first premium wherever exhibited 
Our Fan Mills and Cradles are for sale at factory prices at the 
following places:
