Ii~nEsnious %Isvsnsion.

W. R. Litchfeld OF this town has just
received g patent for . very ingenious
and useful invention in the shape OF q
fruit picker or gathersr. whereby q per-
son can stand on the ground and gather
fruit from the tallsst trees with per.
feet facility and without injury to
the most delicate fruit. Mr.. Litch.
field Is we'll known here % .
carpenter and cabinet maker, and
has shown considerable ingenuity in the
oriRination OF various useful and handy
contrivances. Being acquainted over in
Nevada county. California, and other
sections OF the fruit region, Litchasld
took particular note OF the various de-
vices and inventions in use for gathering
fruit from the trees, the principal object
In view being, Of course, to do so with
the greatest facility anu without injury
to the fruit. He concluded he could in
vent something in that line better than
be had yet seen, and all who have seen
his invention agree that 1t 10 the best
Of all.
It Is simply . ring or collar Of sheet
metal four or five inches high and the
same In diameter. with the upper por.
ton formed into half o dozen points like
q crown, each point being covered with
an Iudia.rubbsr disc or shield to prevent
the fruit from injury BY contact. A
socket In the side receives Q light pole OF
any required length. and from the bot.
tom OF the ring or crow extends . light
hose OF cotton drilling. or other light
material, to convey the fruit down to
the hand OF the operator, or into
Q basket, wagon. or wherever desired.
Standing on the ground the operator
reaches for the fruit, the points oil the
crown passing on each side Of the stem,
and q light upward shove easily detachss
the fruit and Il drops down through the
crown and hose. The operator can hold
the pole in one hand and the hose In
the other, or the hose can be hooked to
q small, movable bracket placed on the
pole for that purpose. thus allowing OF
handling the pole with both hands, or
an assistant can manage the hose.
It is easy to understand that fruit can
DO picked very fast by this arrangement,
much faster than by hand. and with NO
injury to either tree or fruit. In fact,
the fruit can be made to pass in q con.
tinuous stream down through the hose,
and slight twist In the hose
or o turn to one side will easily regulate
the velocity Of the fall. delivering the
fruit unbruised and In fact polished
clean In Its passage. Mr.. Litchfeld 10
having Q lot Of his fruitgatherers made
and will 60 with them to the orchards OF
Nevada county. CAL, in a day or two.
No one who has seen the invention o
have any possible doubt OF its success.
