however, the great improvements and won>
deriul progress IN adapting steam 10 . vast
variety ol purposes, have produced great
revolution IN numberless methods Of labor
In England aud other parts Of Europe, no

clubs are often formed. using the machinery
IN Turns. aud thus tightening the expense 10
each, aud II bus been found to work ex.
ccllc",ly. and by renting powers to other
farmers have paid handsome profits.
The use oil steam is. however, very rapid
ly increasing in this country, aud the Port
able Engine is rapidly taking the place of
sta ionary engines, they being more simple
and less complicated. aud costing a less
sum. and IN addition are complete when
they leave the manufacturer. aud ready 10
be put IN immediate operation, requiring
no mason work or other expense to set
them up.
In order to supply the great demand for
this class Of engines, the Wood n Mann
Steam Engine Company. Of Utica, N. Y,
the senior member Of which company has
been engaged in tho manufacture Of Portn-
ble Engines over fifteen years, have within
the last three years added greatly TO their
:acii,ies for the manufacture Of their unri
vailed engines, and now have immense
works. covering mn area of over an acre and
half OF ground with SIR large tuiidings, and
capable # building from 10 to ~ Of their
complete engines every month They have
already sold over one ttausani Of their en-
gincs, aud the demand for them is constant
~ increasing.
Their works being so extensive and de-
voted solely TO Portable Engines and Circu
lar Saw Mills, the are able to reduce their
manufacture TO the most perfect system.
every engine beng most thoroughly and
carefully built, and every one is thoroughly
tested with tire under u pressure OF steam
before leaving their works. In addition
inspectors are employed for the express
purpose OF examining every part, and every
pr.cauticn is exercised that human ingcnui-
" can suggest TO have every engine and
every parl oi taem perfect before shipment.
THIS company have recently commenced
the manufacture Of Circular Saw Mills, HAYS
ing had frequent calls f,r them and being
unable TO lind any mill built which they
considered as adapted to the great lumber
interests Of the country. In the construct
ion of these mills the same care is exercised
~ with their engines. and every improve
ment that has any merit to il has been in
trcdueed. the mills being built upon mos
chanical aud scientific principles. The mills
are very strongly built, being entirely Of
iron. and will not shrink OF swell a. is the
case with the ordinary wooden carriage
mills, and oil Who have them in use or who
have examined them, pronounce them the
mos, complete and perfect mill ever con-
structcd.
The use Of steam is much moro certain,
and at the Same time cheaper than water
power. as the mill can be placed directly
where tho lumber is, aud thus obviating the
necessity Of hauling logs great distance,
and the mills can DO readily moved from
place to place when desired.
Water Is an uncertain power, 10 constant
y liable TO fteshcts. low water aud freezn g
in winter, and large numbers Of water mills
arc compelled 70 stand still greater por-
ton Of the time from one OF another Of
these c.nscs. In addition. the expense OF
an cagnc and mill at first is generally less
than ter water power and mill.
This company have Engines nov in use in
almost every State ia the United States. AS

trail America. Africa, Esyp,, &C. &c, and
they have acquired awotld wide reputation,
and these engines IRE now in actual use in
