This method of attai-lmieiit causes a certain amount of si(h'-draft. which in the past has pri'Vented the comhs on these machines heini;' made widei' than that stated. \'\iite recenlh', howev;-r, a new implement has heen patentid. in winch.

This implement is calleil the " I'ush'" harvester, ami hecause of the posit i(Ui of the horses the side draft is practically eliiuiuateil, and in conseipience the comh or gathering device is made twice as Avide as in the ordinar\- harvester or stri])]ier. thus a very much greater area can he harvoted jier day with one of these machines without a cor'resiiomlinL'' increase in the amount of manual labour ri'ipiired. The harvester is worked ii\' two men, one of whom drives the horses ami attends to the machine, the other ailjusts and removes the hags and sews them up. The area dealt with hy the harvester is about the same as tlint (h'alt with by tlie stri])per. (To he continued.'). Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page image
