FIRST PREMIUM MACHINE.
AT THE
FAIR

TE1HE attention of farmers and those interested
4 in Wheat Threshing Machines, is invited to
the above machine. For simplicity strength and
durability, it has equal, and is warranted to
thresh and clean in a remarkable manner from
to bushels of wheat per minute The Thresher
is made entirely Of iron with an,-fricon sef-oil-
ing boxes, and the Separator and Cleaner is built
here with particular reference to the wants ofSouih-
ern farmers, being made more substantial in all its
parts than those procured at the North. In fact

challenges competition from every for its
unrivalled ease of action, simplicity, (having but
4 bands) expedteness and economy. OfThe
Grain is delivered in the bag ready for market -
Another important fact is, the very short period Of
time required to set it down ready for work, as it
need not be removed from off the wagon.
The HORSE POWER (PELTON'S) is too
well known and appreciated to need any words
here Those manufactured by me are much heavi-
err and stronger than any other powers in use here
of the modern plans, and warranted to as light.
The following is list of Premiums awarded this
Thresher and Cleaner:

WOODLAND, near Prospect Hill P. O.
Fairfax Co., Va, May f. 1856.
| take great pleasure in recommending TO the
public the Tbreshing 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 one in successful operation. In the thresh-
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 efectualIy from the straw and chat,
than any machine | have ever seen in use. Mr..
Ransom has thresbed my crop for the last two
sons and the work has been done 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
other advantage this machine has over all others
have in 1t is this it rarely cracks
or mashes the grain. have had wheat, rye and
oats thresfied by this machine, and 1t has never
failed to give entire satisfaction. have conversed
with number of my neghbors who have used
this machine extensively, and without single ex-
ception they agree with me in the above statement.

| have read with great pleasure Mr.. James A.
McPherson's announcement of his opening extern
sive machine shops in Alexandria, for the manufac.
ture and repair of all kinds of agricultural imple-
ments; it is dsideratum 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 known
in Fairfax and I4oudon counties, where he has fur
nshed Threshers, Mowers & Reapers to numerous

have heard nothing to The contrary from any quar-

ers will seek farther than Alexandra to supply
their increasing wants in Mr.. McPherson's line of
manufacture Com. THos Ap &. JONES, U. S. N.
