PROUTY & HEARS' IMPROVED CORN LIS 1 The accompanying cut is a good view of the single hopper and single balance wheel machine.

With two men, two hundred bushels of ears are easily shelled per day, or with two hoppers and large balance wheels, double that amount can be done with three men. It is equally well adapted for the large ears at the south and west as for the small ears at the north. Some have a balance wheel on each side; this balances the machine a little bet- ter, and the wear of the shafts is more equal and durable. It is about one and a half by two and a half feet on the floor, and three and a half feel high; with the single hopper it weighs about 100 pounds, with double hop- per and balance wheel, it weighs about 150 pounds. Price from $6 to $10. BRIGG'S PATENT CORN SHELLER. This is a small, light, convenient, and easily-worked corn sheller. It is entirely different in construction from any sheller ever before offered to the public. The operating part of the machine is of iron, and is so constructed as to separate the corn from the cob. For a small and cheap machine, we know nothing better.
