REsPrYG AND THREsHINo MACHINES

figures however, indicate nothing to the number Of

packing bales and boxes, and putting goods on their
shelves ard counters, which now forms the most
universal and striking festure OF the Crystal Pal

hbitOrs. workmen and directors not now TO be
oyerrun BY crowds. which weuli much interfere with
their progress in arranging the articles to be ex
hibited. Yesterday the work advanced rapidly
snd every hour seemed to disclose It's approach 10 tho
perfect order and full magni6ceuce OF the future show.

which it will thresh perfectly clean. This machine, as
exhibited with its most elaborate finish might be taken
as mere model Of the conception Of some visionary
patentee but such IL not the case numerous machines
have been fully tested by large planters in North Caro-
lina where was invented and there Is not shadow
Of doubt upon mind that with the same power this
machine viii thresh grain than any other; and
think no one who has had much experience in thresh
ing examine this model without coming TO the same
conclusion, even before he sees il in operation.
We beg all grain-grOwers who read these notes 10
make il point to see this new thresher and we beg
the inventor to put card upon IL 70 tell those who stare
with wonder at IT, without knowing what Il is, that Il Is
Palnier's ThreshiDg Machine
The same man has made valuable improvement upon
the od-iashoned spike cylinder machines to prevent
danger to the person tending them when stone other
hard substance happens TO be In the sheaf This Is sim

lie also roller in front Of the cylinder TO prevent whole
sheayes from passing the feeder getting his hand

for the farmer, and tais inventor like all his class, Is
doing good 10 others than himself At least do
him the honor TO examine his inventions.
There another newly invented machine Of this class,

for cleaning grain. This Is the invention " v = Say

Farmers Labor Saving Machine" being designed 70
thrash clean aud put tho wheat in bags ready measured

capable Of thrashng and cleaning 100 bus wheat day.
This do doubt but that Il will, any two horse

az much day after day, we shall not believe because,
by somewhat long experience, have never been able
to find such an one That ii IL a good machine, ADD
worthy the attention Of farmers, have doubt, and
hope all who visit the Palace will give fair exam

The same patentee has the model Of threshing ma

pafentee thinks will work much easily than the
horizontal cylinder, that 10 will the power Of
horse in four The plan is worth trial, the only
by which the value Of improvement In all machinery is
determined.
In connection with these threshers the patentee ex-
bibs model Of a machine much needed al the South.

machine.
