AZ the request OF Mr. John NJ. Syme, Of
Hanover County, do he seby certify that
have seen one OF his Patent Ihreshine Ms
chimes in operation. According To N ex-
pertinent which was made in my presence.
the machiur thrcshed uut about fourteen
bushels an hour. examined hundreds Of
the heads, after they had been threshed, and
repeatedly examined the straw as it came
from the machine aud confidently declare,
that not single grain of the wheat remain

the operation The saving 10 the farmer
N this respect must be immense Another
great advantage which this machine pos
scsses Is, that it is entirely ilumateriel in
what position the wheat Is presented 70 rhe

At the request .; MIR John N. Syme,
hereby certiiy that / WAS The first person
vino nad one of his newly invented Ma
chimes built. for threshiug Wheat. for which
he has ootal ed a patent; that the same
was worked ny me Ola my Farm in the
County OF King & Queen, in the years 1868
and lSl0-and u very far surpassed any
otner machine ever saw, having owned
and worked two others of different de
scriPtion, prior to it; and experience in
duces me to say that il is a most valuable
discovery to the Farmer, and farther it may
BE- necessary 10 add that four horses is fully
adequate to the draught of this machine,
and that would rather my horses should
work enc day in it, than tread Wheat two
hours.
