Ranney, of Michigan, for hilling celery. The hilling is done by means of mold-boards. '' The mold-boards are ad- justable to suit the height of the plants, and laterally to cor- respond with the width of the rows, the machine being designed to crowd the earth from the bottom of the furrows under the leaves, sim- ultane ously upon both sides of the rows. The side beams of the frame are adjustable laterally upon the cross beams, and from the under side of each side beam projects a pedestal with an attached spud axle, upon which the drive wheels re- volve. A post extends downwardly from a bracket on the under side of each side beam, through a staple and eye formed on a plate attached to the forward end of the mold-board, each post being stayed by a brace bar, and the eyes and staples, being large enough to move freely upon the post. For the vertical adjustment of the mold-boards, a link con- nects the staples on the forward end of the mold-board, each post being stayed by a brace bar, and the eyes and staples.
