MACHINE, for breaking, beating and
swinging Hemp and Flax
Which can be set in motion either by man-
uai labour, animals, wind, water or steam.--
Having devoted considerable portion of my
time, expence and labour to the constructions
OF this new and usefal invention--and being
perfectly satisfied as 10 its superior advan-.
tage over ali former machines for similar pur-
poses, have ON the 18th of Oct. last, securo
ed the exclusive right to this machine, by Let.
ters patent from the government of the L.
States
The simplicity of the MACHINERY, and the
low price for which il can be erected, the
great ease with which it can be worked, and
the great saving of labour and conscouentIy
eXpence, with which its operations will be
attended, must render the possession of such
machine very desirable object to all those
who raise large crops OF Hemp and Flax--a
species of culture at present Of so much i'm
poriance to the rising manufactures of this
country particularly.

And many were deceived by these false
speeches of Aaron.
But there was a certain James, who was
captain over all the armies of Thomas.
Unto him Aaron told the truth.
For he could not deceive him, seeing
thar James would require the orders OF
Thomas.)
And James said, Verify, this is good
thing For owe thousands, yea tens of
thousands in the North, and in the South,
anc in the East, and in the Vest;
Which causeth me sorely to tremble
whenever I pass down the river Ohio, and
to conceal my garments of gold and silver.
SO James gave his consent to what Aaron
had proposed. And they wrote writings to
each other in signs and devices.
But when James had pondered Oh the
thing,and found that it would not do,
He betrayed Aaron to Thomas: and
Aaron was bani shed.
But James exulted with loud exul.ation.
And he cried out who is there like unto me !?
for have saved this people from utter de-
struction.
Yea, alone
Howbeit there was voice heard, rs OF
mighty angel, crying,
James, James, Why vast thou ever
concerned with a traitor! and it resound.
ed throughout the land.
And all the people heard the voice and
marvellrd much thereat.
80 James wrote book, yea book con-
tanning his own savings and doings, with
sundry strange stories.
And he cried out I am a prosecuted
man.
But still the Angel of Truth repeated,
in laundering accent,
James, James, why vast thou ever con.
cerned with traitor?
So the people hearkened to the voice,
but ia -les cared not.
Z Now the rest Of the acts Of James, and
his turnings and twissings, are they no,
written in the Books of the Days!

And it came to pass in those days; while
Thomas ruled the land,
That the Devil entered the heart OF
Aaron.
(Now Aaron had been the second man
in the land there was none above him save
Thomas.)
And the great Tempter, which is the
Devil, tempted him saying,
Go thou now, and gather together men,
and warlike instruments, and many horses !;
And all the people will bow down before
thee throughout the whole earth there
shall be none like unto thee.
So Aaron went to the great men, and he
spoke to them in lies and in cunning spec
ches, (for he was artful and his heart was
wicked j :.
And he said, Behold, Thomas the chief
hath devised an undertaking, and hath COM
manaed me, saying,

The increasing cultivation of Tobacco in
Germany, France and other parts OF Eu-
rope, must lessen the demand from our
country and consequently induce the cult
vators of that article to turn their attention
TO some other production. Wheat, Bar
ley, Rye, &c. will always be IN demand,
for expectation, or the distillery. We
have also Flax and hemp, necessary aTti-
cles for internal manufactures. Flax is
hat a precarous crop, whereas hemp seems
the most certain of any spring crop as well
as the most profitable. The soil Tor hemp
should be rich, light, deep and moist; but
not spouty or wet, Land that bears strong
Tobacco, will produce good hemp. Old
ground well manursd brings the heaviest
crops, for according to the strength OF the
soil, will the produce be, from or 6 to
