There is no other occupation ID which
SO great number are employed as inl
Agriculture and upon which 30 much
depends. There is more talents and
ingenuity, not to mention the great
amount Of money expended a getting
up and introducing new and improved
Machines and Implements for the sole
use and benefit Of farmers, than for any
other occupation. Al ss VI ss ~
We have received during the past
week several circularsfro manufac-
turers in different parts Of the States.
and from these circulars I'VE purpose
making extracts, that farmers may know
a little OF whst IS going on for their flu
ture benefit. It is well known that We
have q great desire to- see labor-saving
machines more ID use in Minnesota for
we are satisfied from experience that BY
its use greater amount Of land can be
cultivated, with greater ease, and at
less expense thanby manual labor.
The first machine upon the list y the
Horse Power for driving the machines.
Of these there are several Patents. but
we are satisfied that Emery's Patent
will rank with any yet invented. The
common impression that they are hard
for horses to work upon, is a mistake.
The two horse power was easy, and we
had rather work horses on one Of these
machines than 70 keep them on the road.
This Power is admirably adapted for
driving Threshing Machines, Circular
Saws, Cotton Gins, as also Machine
Shops, Elevators, Ferry Boats, discharg
ing and loading vessels, Pile driving,
Cross-cut saving, Pumping, Grinding
Grain, Churning Butter, Cutting Hay
and Stalks, Smelling Corn. Grinding
Apples, SC.
The angle Of elevation necessary to
operate this Power is never greater, but
often less, than the best Of other kinds,
which is inside of one and a half inches
to the foot, with horses weighing 1000
pounds each, and without any harness.
Price in Albany, SIG; the one-horse
power comes at $s5. II
Adapted to this Power is d Threshing
Machine with vibrating separator.
Their construction is such that the
grain and straw are carried by the
cylinder from level feeding table, over
and between 1T and the concaYe, which
Is placed above instead Of below as is
generally done in others The cylin-
ders being rs 70 80 inches long, and IA
inches diameter, are much longer but
smaller than those generally il use
giving more room for feeding, in pro-
portion to the work done, and doing it
nearer the center Of motion, and work
ing easier, as the smaller the diameter
the greater the power. Again, we re-
quire but about half the number Of
spikes in the cylinder, and an increased
motion, 50 that the spikes may. pass
through with 4 velocity sufficient 10 take
off all the grain. sas.; ISL
We believe this machine to be the
most economical that 4 farmer can use,
The grain is not cleaned 2at the same
time it lie threshed, butsafler, ia fan
mills that are propelled by the same
power, and which leave the grain in
condition. At for grinding. From one to
two hundred bushels of wheat, and
double the quantity Of Oats can Be
threshed in = day, and five hands and
two horses are all thst are required.
These machines arc represented ID
capable of threshing from us to US
bushels Of Wheat and Rye, o. double
that quantity Of Oats, II 4 day. We
cannot vouch for only what - know.
though We have only used them ID the
short days Of winter. The machine Is
very simple and durable. !, Cost III All
bany, from $37 - $40. NM
