 The rights for this celebrated Cornsheer have been disposed of for every State in the Union at enor nous rates, and it needs but to be to commend itself to every practical man.
 It comments itself by
 lst. Its GREATNESS.
 2d. Durability, simplicity, ,ightness, portability and no chance to get out of order.
 3d. The mauner of doing its work and this is curious enough. In all other machines the corn is re- moved by grinding, crushing, mashing process but in this it is picked of child would do with its fingers.
 4th. No matter what is the size of the cob or shape every kernel is taken of, and done so neatly that not even the and HUsK that holds the corn is at all disturbed CT rubbed off, hence the corn i- Clean, deposited in box or bag. while the cob, unbroken are laid side by the machine itself
 5th. All other machines require much powc, they almost useless, while this is and fed hN a boy of l2 years old, who will shell from so [, 90 bushels per day.
