| The Committee appointed to examine and report
upon Reapers ThreShers and Mowers, and Agricultu-
raj implements, report that we have examined the
GRAIN CLIPPER INVENTED BY MR. f. PECK of
Santa Clara county, called "Peck's California Gin
per-" and saw it operating in grain fields The Ma
chine cuts 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-
five degrees the grain cut off, and throws it into an
other apron or elevator about two feet wde and run
ming at right angles to the first elevator and drops
the grain into wagon that alongside the Clip.
per to receive it, The Clipper requires four horses Ia
propel 1t and one man to direct it, and three wagons
to receive and haul away the grain, and driver for
each wagon and to unload it, and hand to load the
grain in the wagon while it receives it from the Cip-
per- requiring only FIVE hands in all. will cut and
stack TWENTY FIVE ACRES A DAY, when the grian
stands up.
Ithas reel and will gather grain well, even ifit
ncnes at an angle of forty-fve degrees in an oppo-
site direction from which the machine is moving 1t
will cut within three inches of the ground or three feet
high, and can be elevated or lowered instantly and
without stopping the team, and gathers the grain so
ceany and perfectly that hardly head is left on the
ground. The machine rests on two main Wheels each
of which has cog wheel fastened into the smokes
about midway between the rim and the hub. One
wheel drives the elevators and reel and the other the
sickle The machine is of the simple construc-
ton; one examining it will wonder why such invention
has not long ago been IN use We do not hesitate to
soy that this machine EACELS ALL OTHERS greatly
in simplicity of construction IN being less liable to
get out of order, in durability, in in operating
in the quantity Of grain will cut and the excellent
manner in which II performs its work.
In plain truth, in the judgment of the Committee il
is the best machine for farm use ever invented and as
it was invented by one of our own citizens, we re-
commend that it be called "E. Peck's Santa Clara
County Grain Clipper"
We recommend a first premium to be awarded to
Mr E. Peck, for his Santa Clara County Grain Clip.
