MoFFITs THREsHER AND SEP,
TRAITOR.

ERATOR.
In our paper Of last year, (vol.
KIP. CD wo gave an account OF
the remarkable success OF Mof-
fits Buckeye Threshing Ma
chine" in England, as copied
from English papers. II has al
so been introduced and gained
splendid premiums in France and
Germany. Since that time sew
eral notices and advertisements
respecting II have appeared in
our columns. Wherever the ma
chine Is exhibited or tested, il
seems to win popularity and pre-
NUNS, so that we think it may
safely be regarded as the most
perfect machine Of the kind now
in use. The smaller size ma
chine we think will be found
just what's wanted by those
farmers who desire to thresh
their own grain, with their own
men and teams. We should be
pleased, If some one of our road
ers who has used this machine,
would send US fair statement OF
its performance, the amount Of
power and labor required, &c.,
not forthe sake ofbeneftting the
inventor or manufacturers, but
for the benefit Of our readers who
desire reliable information on this
subject.
II will be seen from an adver-
tisement In this paper, that
Messrs. Owen, Lane Il Dyer, Of
Hamilton, o., are largely en-
gagged in the manufacture Of the
above machines. These gentle
men have established a good rep
utation in other departments Of
manufacturing, and from inlorma.
ton we have received, we have
the fullest confidence that ma
chimes from their establishment
will be Of the best workmanship,
and all that have dealings with
these gentlemen will find them
