In Fig. 3247 a steam-engine is sliown as adaptedto operating the iniiilement. In some parts of Solano County, Califoniia, wherethe grain and grass are very short, an a)iron is httedunder the sickle of the mower, which catches all thegrass, and when full dumjis it in piles. Gi-ass andgrain not over three inches in hight are thus secured,in some cases at the rate of a ton to an acre. The smallest description of mower is that for mow-ing lawns, which is pushed by the gardener so as tocut the grass before it is tramped. It weighs about 30 pounds and cuts a swath of10 inches. The cylinder has spiral knives, and isrotated by gear connection to the wheels of the ma-chine. These spiral blades cut against the rectilin-ear edge of a stationary knife, which is set at a tan-gent to the cylinder. The grivss is nipped betweenthe blades and swept
