Coffee House, by the inventor, and has a.
iractcd the attention OF many gentlemen Of
science and practical agriculturists, all of

pinion Of its merits. The machine is con
strucicd 10 DO moved by the strength of one
horsc--enters field OF wheat, rye, &c. will
take ga two men's land ahead" and cot,
thresh and fan tho grain fl for the mill or
market, and without waste or leaving any
thing behind to be CLEANED. This complete
operation can be per for mad as fast as horse
can walk. The machine may be separated
and used only for cutting and gathering the
grain, which will render il extremely simple
and effective. 1t is calculated that two hors.
es, and one man 10 attend them, will cut and
gather the grain from tweo'y five acres pAs
day. The net cost of machine for cutting
and gathering the grain will not exceed one
hund cd dollars and machine complete,
