gest exhibition Of Horse powers and Threshing Ma
chimes exhibited in this State, at any other
State Fair in this country, and all thoroughly
amined and tested by a large and competent CON-
mittee, who awarded the first premium to the above
power the best on the ground. More than fire
thousand Of these powers now in use by many
of the best Farmers in the country and they con-
slider them to be double in power to any of the best
Sweep Powers, more durable and much easier for
the horses. CASH PRICE, 500.

Mr.. E. WHITMAN, Jr.-
Dear Sir Il have for some time intended giving
you full description Of the operation and success
tof the 2-horse wrought iron Railway Power and
Threshng Machine purchased of you last May.
| will give you few instances of threshing Il
carried the whole machine between and 10 miles
with an cart, and set it three times different
farms, and thleshed from l Is TO l20 bushels of
wheat in one day, and each time took the machine
out of the CART made the tables; geared the horses;
and commenced threshng in ten minutes. Rev.
Peter Ainsley, Col Richard j. Muse and Museo
Garrett, Esq, witnesses to the above. In
another instance, commenced threshing at Mr.
w. r. G. Tribes, at o'clock in the morning, and
threshed 80 bushels of wheat by IL O'Clock in the
afternoon of same day, and threshed NJ bushels of
wheat before sun down. Mr.. L. d. Brooks, Mr..
Beverly Brooks, and others, vouch for the truth
of this statement. I frequently threshed 100 BUSH
els of wheat from breakfast to dinner time-and
during the season, threshed 3S different crops,
making in all $3.50 bushels of wheat, and the
of the machine is scarcely apparent-and consd-
er the labor to the horses more than blowing in
light land. I candidly believe, your wrought-ron
Railway Horsepower and Thresher surpasses any
| have seen, and find it is much better since
your late improvements have been attached.
You will please have two of your Improved Rail-
way Horsepower and Threshers put up and sent
to me by first conveyance they are for two of my
neighbors-have them landed at Piscataway Bridge.
| think shall order one or two more of them be-
tween now and harvest.
