upon Reapers, Threshers and Mowers, and Agricutu-
raj implements, report that we have examined the
GRAIN CLIPPER INVENTED BY MR. F' PFCK' nf
Santa Clara county, called "Peck's California Clip-
per-, and saw it operating in grain fields. The Ma
chine cuts a swaih Nine Feet Four Inches in width
has an apron elevator the width of the length of
the knife, which carries up angle of about forty
hve degrees the grain cut off, and throws il into an
other apron or elevator about two feet wide and run
ming at right angles to the first elevator and drop,
the grain into wagon that runs alongside the Clp.
per to receive it, The Clipper requires four horses c
propel it and one man to direct it, and three wagons
to receive and haul away the gran and a driver 70,
each wagon and to unload it, and hand to load the
grain in the wagon while it receives it from the Gin.
per, requiring only five hands in ALL / will cut and
| stack TWENTY FIVE ACRES DAY when the grian

1t has reel, and will gather grain we'll even If If
nclines at an angle of Orty-ve degrees in an onpo-
site direction from which the machine is moving II
will cut within three inches of the ground or three feet
high and can be elevated lowered instantly and
without stopping the team and gathers the grain so
cleanly and perfectly that hardly head is left on the
ground The machine rests on two main wheels each
OF which has a cog wheel fastened into the spokes
about midway between the rim and the hub One
wheel drives the elevators and reel and the other tbe
sickle. The machine is OF the most simple construc-
toni one examining ii will wonder why such invention
has not long ago been in We do not hesitate TO
say that this machine EXCEIS ALL OTIIEkS greatly
in simplicity of construction, being less liable to
get out of order, in durability, in in operating
in the quantity of rain il will cut, and the excellent
manner In which performs its work.
In plain truth, in the judgment of the Committee it
is the best machine for farm invented and as
it was invented by one of own citizens we re-
commend that it be called "E. Pecks Santa Clara
County Grain Clipper"
We recommend first premium to be awarded 10
