This latter point is quite important in stacking in windy weather, as with the "Eclipse" the hay is only raised as high as necessary to dump it on the stack, and is not scattered by the wind. The uprights of the "Eclipse" are made 28 feet high, and this is as long as they can be shipped, and with them it will stack nearly or quite that height, but the height it may be made to stack is really unlimited, as these uprights may be spliced out as high as desired, and gayed with rope. I make this machine under the "Acme" and Oliver patents. It is mounted on iron wheels, and will build a stack 25 feet high. "With the rakes the hay is taken from the swath, when cured, jnst as left by the mower, or from the cock or windrow, if it is desired to rake it before it is cured sufficiently to stack; and when the Kake is loaded it is driven to the Stacker, the rake-teeth entering between the pitcher-teeth; the hay is pressed forward against the pitcher-head, the horses then .back the Kake off, leaving the hay in a compact mass upon the pitcher, and return to the field for another load. As soon as the Rake is out of the way, the horse attached to the pitcher rope is started, elevating the load the desired height, when the latch-rope is pulled, and the hay is dropped in the center of the stack, the horse is baoked up, the pitcher being brought back to the ground by its own weight, ready for another load. The "Eclipse" has speoial advantages for stacking in windy weather, and for loading hay, etc., on wagons. It dumps the load at any desired height, from 5
