properly bedded IN the ground, and the horses be-
ing very gentle. Bat, On removing them 10 my Sweet
brer plantation, taken in setting them up
and they worked admirably -flly answering tho high
reputation they had acquired in other places. After
thfeshng the crop Of wheat and rye at this plantation
they wereremovedtomy Tusculum plantation, and while
they in operation there they considered by
my oyersoer and many of the neghboring farmers, who
witnessed their performance, to be second to Thresh-
ing Machine in the country. | feel happy in having
found nj last Ihreshing Machine that fully answers
the purpose inendedtor have tried several kinds be-
fore but have never had the good luck with one
before this that satisfied me-
