;hinery, as far as possible in q practical way
e threshe1s and separators possess any par
ticular merits, they ought to be tested in such
. Tay az to s1oW their advantages. In Eng.
land, every agricultural machine is thoroughly
aud practically tested, and the result Of each
machines work puhhlhed BY the Societies.
Should it be done here, 1t would be great in
ducement to both the inventor and purchaser.
This can be done by weighing the power, the
grain cleaned, the waste, and the amount Of
grain Or dirt from recleaning-by each ms
chine in given time. This would Place every
machine On it's own basis, and must give eatis-
faction to all concerned. Unless premiums
are awarded upon the real tried merits Of an
article Of machinery, they are afalse gt sde and
worthless.
H. &. Pitts d Co.'S Thrasher and Separator,
with attachments for bagging and tal1ying,
also for more perfectly cleaning the grain
was In operation, and drew a large crowd Of
spectators. 1t is the best looking machine on
the grounds eaid to have thrashed and
cleaned 900 bushels in ten hours.
This is Chicago machine, and Mr. Pitts
was the original inventor Of the straw carrier,
now attached to nearly every thresher and /
separator. -.-.-... -....-
