From the Broome Republican.

There are now ten machines attached 10
tho power, on single frame. namely: a
Thresher, n corn sheller, "a Sitting saw, n
root cutter, p!ancr, borer, a wood saw,
n cider mill, grist mill. and a straw and
cOTnstOck cutter. Tbs machine may be
multiplied 20 any extent until almost every
variety used In shops and manufactures
and I'm farming is added.
Every machine Is as complete Ia Itself nv
though the whole apparatus had been con-
StruCted for either one ofthem.
Tho machinery can DO changed by two

There II nothing complicated about tho
machinery. no more than there IN about an
