We, the undersigned. have examined.Mr.
NJ. McKeevsr's newly invented patent Thrash
ing snd Cleaning Machine, and consider il va
luable Improvement. The labor saved by 1t in
cleaning the grain as il is thrashed, without any
additional force, is an advantage well worth the
consideration of farmers. We fully concur in
the quantity thrashed, with the above gentle
men, and we have no doubt more could have
been lhrashed under more favorable circum.
