BY WHEELER, 
T HE subscribers are this season enabled to offer to Farmers, a 
new and most useful and valuable Machine. The successful 
combination of a WINNOWER with our Overshot Thresher proves 
another of its great advantages. The Winnower is attached with 
much less Geering than in the Undershot Machines, rendering it much 
more durable and compact, and more easily propelled. It lias now 
been fairly tested, (a large number having been in constant use during 
the past Threshing season,) and has already in some instances, su¬ 
perseded the most approved of the other kinds of Winnowers, the 
owners of which have thrown them aside after a thorough trial of 
ours. We have numerous commendatory letters from gentlemen who 
have purchased and used our Winnower, and we give extracts from 
a few of them. 
Extract from a Letter from Wm. Osborn, Esq., of Waterville, N. 1". 
Messrs. Wheeler, .VTelick & Co.: 
Gentlemen —My Uncle wishes me to say to you that his Winnower 
more than answered his expectations. My own opinion may be 
gathered from the fact that I want one as soon as you can forward it. 
It is unquestionably the most perfect thing ever got up for Threshing 
and Cleaning. I have considerable acquaintance with labor-saving 
Agricultural Machines, and I never yet saw any thing which for its 
simplicity and perfect adaptatioji to the wants of Farmers, compared 
with your Machine. 
From E. French, Esq., Bridgeport, N. Y. 
Messrs. Wheeler, Melick. & Co,: 
Gentlemen —If you could see the admiration your Winnower re¬ 
ceives from all, you could not help feeling proud of it. You may ex¬ 
pect several orders from here next season. My neighbors are scram¬ 
bling for their turn to have me do their threshing, but will not em¬ 
ploy other machines although they go about begging for work. 
From J. Glendenning, Esq., Newport, R. I. 
Messrs. Wheeler, Melick § Co.: 
Gentlemen—I am pleased to say that the Thresher and Winnower 
exceed my most sanguine expectations. I call get through 350 to 
400 bushels of oats per day. 
From J. H. Creivcll, Esq., Columbia, N. Y. 
Messrs. Wheeler, Melick Co.: 
Gentlemen—The Thresher and Winnower you sent proves to be 
beyond my expectations. I have the pleasure of writing to you for 
ene more, if you can furnish it within the next three or four weeks. 
We might add many more equally fluttering testimonials. 
Price of Double Power with Thresher and Winnower,_... $225 
The superiority of WHEELER’S PATENT RAILWAY CHAIN 
HQRSE POWER, and OVERSHOT THRESHER and SEPA¬ 
RATOR is universally acknowledged wherever they have been tested. 
Thousands of them are in use, many of which have threshed from 
50,000 to 100,000 bushels of grain, and are still in good condition. 
They are beyond doubt the most durable and economical machine in 
pse. Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as well at the 
New-York and Pennsylvania Fairs as, as on several private occasions 
in competition with another machine made in this city, which has 
been advertised tp be far superior to ours, and in every instance the 
result has been about one third, and in some instances more, in favor 
of our machines. In every case except ope where we have submit¬ 
ted our machine tp a working test at Fairs, it has taken the highest 
premiums, and in that excepted case the Committee decided that our 
machine performed its work in 8 minutes and its competitor in 11| 
minutes, being nearly one-third in favor of ours. 
We have also exhibited ours in competition with the same machine 
at ihe State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan and Pennsylvania, and also at 
the Provincial Fair of Tapper Canada, at all of which we received the 
MELICK & CO. 
highest premiums, viz: In Ohio a Silver Medal and Diploma; in 
Michigan $20; in Pennsylvania $10; and in Canada a Diploma. 
We have numerous similar testimonials from County Societies, 
where we have always received the highest premiums awarded to 
Chain Powers.
