"Thera are now ten machines attached 10
The pawer, on single frame. namely: A
ThrtSher, Il corn shelter, Sitting saw,
root cutter n piaDer, n borer, q WOOD saw,
a cider mill, a grist mill. and n straw and
cornstCci cutter. The machine may be
multiplied 10 any extent until almost every
variety used in shops anu manufactures
and in farming Is added.
Every machine is as complete in itself as
though the Whole apparatus had been con-
slruCIed Tor either one Ofthem.
Tie machinery can be changed by TWO

there Is IOtLinu complicated about the
machinery. no more tnan there is about an
cX ear, and td!m hands OF The ordinary In

nOIhinL about IL 10 break To make extern

What the Machine will do can be told In
'cW word, tGey do their work well. The

OF gram rs fast as one man can cut the
: straw through the machine; while several
men will lie needle TO bind the straw and
take away the grain, his threSher with
one horse has iLreshed as fast as one hun
dred and four bundles OF Rye In seven min
utCS and thirteen seconds. The capacity of
the thrcshcr must therefore be judged by
the deXlerity OF the man or me II that use II.
Sticks or stones or Griars do not effect the
machine, as the ilaiis are hung SO that they
ill n .commoda themselves to the char.
acler OF the material they come in contact
with. smaller machines ore made to run
by band that thTeSh from htty TO seventy
i've bushels per day.
No other corn Sh. Her resembles the cor
shelters furnished with these machines. AS
fast as the ears OF corn are slowed into an
ample hopper, the cODS will he carried out
nj he other end OF the machine while the
corn passes down through q spout into q
III eaSure.
The wood saw makes from 5000 10 4CC0 re-
volutons per minute. The velocity is so
great that Il stick OF seasoned black birch
measuring seven inches on three sides can
be cut on in second; and quarter OF
cOrd of stove wood can be sawed from three
feet sticks after the prOpelling power has
been disconnected. The Sitting saw runs
with still e eater speed and can slit one
bundled and Venty feet OF inch board by
the momentum after the belt is thrown of.
The planing machine will nicely plane
The surface Ola board OF p.ank eighteen in
ches wide as rapidly as a carpen-
Ter at the bench passes over the edge o.
board with Joiner. Planning and saving
are both done at the same time with one
machine by one horse power.
The straw cutter is a selffeedirg machine
and cuts with great rspidlty any length re.
qurcd. It's strength ana velocity is so great
IL will cut eff piece OF Georgia pine board
six inches wide and one inch thick ut each
revolution OF the knife without ipjurIng

cep,ib.y.
The cider Mill HIS no equal. The apples
are cut into the mereSt shTcds, no longer
than the fine blades OF lawn grass. The
seeds pass through the cutter VIII Die leaving
none OF their bitter flavor TO the cider. All
the cells in the apples are broken, TIE juice
Is all Obtained and after the pres is applied
20 the pOmace nothing but q meal Is left.
The root cutter shaves the roots in fine
Slices and does it as rapidly as a man can
shovel potatoes.
The feed mill grirds with rapidly from
eight 10 Twelve bushels per hour with one
horse, leaving the meal as Il comes from the
mill perfectly cool and ready for bagglng
without Injury from heat This last ma
chine completes combination which per-

The operation OF these machines Is daily
witnessed by large humble OF farmers and
machGBcis, who express not only their
warm appreciation of them, but their as
