The peculiar advantages OF this Machine,
with respect to wheat, are that it shakes e.
very, or almost epery grain from The heads !;
that 1t threshes them in whatever direction
presented to it, and however tangled. &c.
and that il leaves no tail ends or white caps
in the grain. LII point OF execution. the
number OF bushels, which it thrcshes in TIC
day, is very considerable. --Besides this ma
chine is not confined to erheat alone-'rhe
Patentee has no doubt Ut its being atap ed

CERTIFICATES.
THE Subscribers having inspected with
attention macGinc for thres,.irg cut wheel
or other small grain. invented by John
M. Syme, of the county of Hanover. and for
which he has patent, are OF opinion. that
IT will answer the purpose better than any
thing of the Kind they have ever seen. They
clearly think, that no machine. winch they
have examined, so effsctually beat, on. ali
The wheat believing, from the tcs; obser
walton they can make, that not more than
one bushcl in five hundred would remain an
the straw. II is Important to add. that it is
entirely immatcrial in what form or state
he wheat IS thrown into the machine, as
IL gets it ou equally clean.
