THE CULTIVATOR.

EMERY & CO.’S 
New-York State Agricultural Society’s 
FIRST PREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE POWER, 
AND 
OVERSHOT THRESHER AND SEPARATOR. 
T HE attention of the farming public is solicited to the newly im¬ 
proved Railroad Horse Power, as now made by the subscribers. 
Also to their Over-Shot Spike Cylinder Threshers, with Vibrating 
and Revolving Separators. 
Having had much experience in the sale and manufacture of Horse 
Powers and other Agricultural Implements; and being acquainted 
very extensively with the wants of the farmers of this country,as well 
as the character of most of the implements and machines now in use, 
we think we hazard nothing in pronouncing our latest improved Pow¬ 
er far superior to any before made or sold by us, or with which we 
are acquainted. 
At. the late Fair of the New-York State Agricultural Society, held 
at Albany, their committee on Horse Powers unanimously awarded 
us the highest premium for the best Rail Road Horse Power, among 
the large number of the most popular and approved kinds of the day, 
which were on exhibition and in competition,—it being considered the 
most efficient and durable on the ground. 
As the principal mechanical parts of its construction differ so mate¬ 
rially from those mostly sold by us previously to the past season, as 
well as from all others now in use, we have thought it an object to 
the farmers, as well as for our own interest, to illustrate them by cuts 
and descriptions, as shown in Cultivator for last month, [April] The 
advantages of the recently adopted improvement are numerous and 
plainly seen,one of which is removing all the gearing and wearing parts 
to the outside of the power, where it is free from dust, and dirt, Ac., and 
where it may be boxed up, requiring little lime or oil to keep them in 
the best possible running order. 
The liability of breakage and wear, and slipping of links and pin¬ 
ions, as in the rack and pinion powers, (and most others) is wholly 
removed. In shipping them, the gears are taken off and packed in a 
box with other things. 
Having sold a large number of the IMPROVED Machines the 
past harvest, all of which, having given entire satisfaction, and when 
used side by side with the most approved of other kinds, having been 
preferred, we do not hesitate to recommand and warrant them equal, 
if not superior, to any before made or sold by us, or of which we 
have any knowledge. 
Our Thresher consists of a small spiked cylinder, about fifteen in¬ 
ches in diameter, and twenty-six inches long, with a substantial 
spiked concave above this cylinder, which is adjustable to the work 
to be done. The feeding table being level, allows the feeder to stand 
erect, and is little annoyed with di’st and dirt—and no possibility of 
hard substances getting into the Thresher, to its injury. 
We attach a vibrating or revolving separator to them, which 
serves to separate all the grain from the straw, and leave it with the 
fine chaff for fanning mii), while the straw is carried off for stack¬ 
ing. 
Having heretofore been obliged to have a large portion of some parts 
of our work done by contract, we have felt the inconvenience and 
want of dependance to be placed upon the quality of materials and 
workmanship; we have now’so extended our facilities, as to enable us 
to make all parts of all our own machines, and can now assure the 
public that none but the best work and stock will be offered by us. 
The Two Horse Power Thresher and Separator is capable, with 
three or four men. of threshing from 150 to 200 bushels of w’lieat or 
rye, and the single one from 60 to 100 bushels, or double that quanti¬ 
ty of oats per day.

NOTICES OF THE PRESS. 
“ This book will effect more in the way of making a general and 
healthy taste for Architecture, even in the cheapest dwellings, than 
anything which has yet been issued from the press.”— N. Y. Courier 
and Enquirer. 
“ This work is eminently a contribution to knowledge, a combina¬ 
tion of just such knowledge as was. wanted, and the general communi¬ 
cation of which, to the maids of our wide-spread population, will ac¬ 
complish an inestimable service. If our mechanics and tradesmen 
in moderate circumstances, will consult the Drawings, they will find 
that very limited pecuniary resources are sufficient to secure a dwel- 
ing that will satisfy their necessities, and mini.-ter lo iheir comfort, as 
no paste-board Villa or Gingerbread Castle, ever could.”— Neiv-Eng- 
lander. 
“No work of more practical and general value, has been issued 
from the American Press for a long time.”— Albany Allas. 
“ Mr. Downing has a great and deserved reputation, but be has 
never before produced so elaborate and splendid a volume, as the 
Country Houses.”— Boston Post. May 1—It.
