From the Broome Republican.

"There are now ten machines attached Ia
the power, on n single frame, namely: a
Thresher, a corn shelter, n Sitting saw, q
root cutter, planer, borer, wood saw
a cider mill, a grist mill, and straw and
cornstock cutter. The machine may b'
multiplied to any extent until almost every
variety used in shops and mRnufa"tur!cS
and In farming is added.
Every machine is as complete In itself as
though the whole apparatus bad been con.
structed for either one Ofthem.
The machinery can be changed by two
men from a wood saw To "a thTeshing ma.
chine in dtJ five seconds the change from
a threshing IN schine To Sitting Eaw with
table is easily done inside OF two minutes
the change from a Sitting saw tO "a CId9
mill il done in less than n minute; from 2
cider mill % a root cutter the change re-
Quires less than half "A minute and II Ia
changed from n cider mill 10 u corn shelleI
in from three 10 five minutes; and 10 n fOd.
der cutter, grist mill or planer in about tho
same length of time.
There Is nothing complicated about tho
machinery, no more than there Il about al
OK carl and farm hands OF the ordinary IN
telligence can run 1t successfully. There -
nothing about II 10 break 10 make eXten'
sfve repairs necessary.
What the Machine will do can be- told li
a few words, they do their work well. III.
thresher Tor instance will thTeNh any kind
OF grain as fast as one man can cut the
bands from the bundles AMI another pass
straw through the machine: while frycral
men will be needed 10 bind the straw and
take away the grain. 1hb tnrCshcr with
one horse has thrcShod aS fast rs one hun
dred and four bundles OF Rye In seven min
utes and thirteen seconds. The capacity Ui
the thrcsher must therefore ba judged ny
the deTterity Ofthe man or men tDal uEe Ii.
Sticks or stones or briaTs do nc: eject the
machine, as the fails are hung - that they

acter or the material they come In ,nn'ac'
with. Smaller machines ere mad, TO run
by hand that thrcsh from fity TO seventy
nve bushels per day.
No other corn sh'IleT Tesemb - the cor
shelters furnished with these machines. A
fast as the ears OF corn are sEOyeIel into nm
ample hopper, the cObs will he carried out
at the other end OF the machin while the
corn passes down through a spout iniO "A
measure.
The wood saw makes from 900 TO IJpJ re-
volutions per minute. The velocity Is 80
great that stick OF seasoned black birch
measuring seven inches on three sides can
be cut OF in a second; and quarter Of n
cord OF stove wood can DC sawed from three
feet sticks after the prOpclling power has
been disconnected. The Sitting sgw runs
with still greater speed and can sit one
bundred ami venty feet 0f inch board ty

The cider mill has no equal. The apples
are cut into the merest saTeds, no longer
than the fine b!aass 0f lawn grsS. 1ne
