WEEKLY REVIEW OF PATENTS.

Il is rather remarkable circumstance that, among
the si1iy.fve patents granted for the week ending
Sept 6. there but four for agricultural implements
viz, three for Improvements in Harvesters and
one fer Mole Plows. Though there are but few
oIisnsl and striking inventions in this branch of
ehsn.csl industry, owing 20 the enormous consump-
ton OF agricultural implements, slight improvements
in their efficiency in cheapeurg their cons.ruc-
ton, eagerly sought and at applied by manu-
so;urers. This attracts large share OF inventive ge
MUS in this direction. Since McCormicks world
renowned success, a week seldom passes without re-
porting one or more patented Improvements on Hsr.
vesters The cutting Of the grain requires but
little power; bu. owing to the velocity heretofore
considered necessary IL the movement Of the recipro
eating cutters, great amount of the power applied
to Harvesters is used up overcoming the friction Of
machinery. T. d. Aylesworth Of this State has pat
ented al Improvement in Cutting Apparatus Of
Hsrves.ers in which he claims cutters and guards so
constructed and operated together as TO require no
motion except that Of being drawn over field II is
