act upon tho cod pcrpendculary the roller reyoyes
Il 10 considered a great improvement upon the old
spiked roller. The motion oceasioned By the loose
plates, assists TO keep the teeth from coeglng 10 can
not be used to advantage when the land is wet as it
would then clog past the power VI the driver TO keep
clean. When it i tn be moved from place 10 place,
wheels are placed the ends of the axle aud it rides
SUSPENDED between them. When required for use in
any particular field il is driven TO the spot and holes
ding under each wheel until the roller rests upon the
Ground: the wheels are then taken away. The estim-
alton in which il is held in Great Britain may be judged
from learning the fact that $500 we're in use in $3.50
On Grass land il is used 10 good advantage; when il
becomes turfbound this roller would be of immense
