lHE attention of farmers and those interested
l. in Wheat Threshing Machines, is in pied to-
the above machine. For simplicity, strength and
durability, it has no equal, and is warranted ,u
thresh and clean in remarkable manner, from
! to bushels of wheat per minute. The Thrcsher
is made entirely of iron, with an- friction self-ol
ing boxes, and the Separator and Cleaner is built
here, with particular reference to the wants of South

parts than those procured at the North. In fact,

take great pleasure in recommending to tho
public the Threshing Machine which is now being
manufactured in Alexandra. Va, by Mr.. James A.
Mcpherson. They were introduced into this coun-
ty about two years ago by Mr.. A. B. Ransom, who
has in successful operation. I'm the ,hresl-
ing season this machine is preferred to all others
ever used in the neighborhood, and is constantly
in operation. With the proper force Of horses and
hands it will thresh more grain, and cleaner, and
separate it more eectuaIy from the straw and chaf,
than any machine have ever seen in use Mr.
sons and the work has been done SO well that there
has been no necessity to run the grain through
fan after it comes from the machine in one single
instance before carrying it to market There is one
other advantage this machine has over all others
have in use 1t is this /: 1t rarely cracks
or mashes the grain. I have had wheat, rye and
oats threshed by this machine, and it has never
failed to give entire satisfaction. have conversed
with number of my neighbors who have used
this machine extensively and without single ex-
ception they agree with me in the above statement

have read with great pleasure MIR. James A..
McPherson's announcement of his opening extern
sive machine shops in Alexandra, for the manufac-
ture and repair of all kinds of agricultural mpe-
ments; it is disideratum long needed in this sec
ton of Virginia. every farmer think will Attest
and it is fortunate for us that Mr.. Mcpherson has
undertaken it. Mr.. Mcpherson is generally knoan
in Fairfax and Loudon counties, where he has fuE-
nished Threshers, Mowers Il Reapers to numerous
farmers within the last four years, and believe
with entire satisfaction, certainly so to myself and
have heard nothing to the contrary from any quar-
ter. therefore hope that Central Virginia Farm
ers will seek no farther than Alexandria 10 supply
their increasing wants in Mr. McPherson's line of
President Of the Fairfax Agricultural Society.
We the undersigned, have used James a. Nc
Pherson's Thresher and Cleaner in the Falls Of

believe 1t to be superior machine when properly
attended to. ..0t.,1.,
