threshes it simultaneously. 1t is started in a
field in the morning. and at night the grain
can be saken to the elevator, and the field is
ready to be plowed once more. The grain is cut
by bar similar to that moving machine
from which it is thrown a piece OF canvas

er. There it is threshed and winnowsd and then
carried to the opposite side OF the machine, where
it falls into bags. which they fill up, are tied
up in turn and thrown Off The work is don.

required, comes ont absolutely clean, and there
is no waste. Under ordinary crcum stances fifteen
acres day easily be cut. The machine is
somewhat complicated, but it is very simple to
work, two only being required TO handle it.
while four horses will draw large enough to
have a siN-foot cutting bar.

BIRDS EGGS.
The Reasons Why They Are Not All OF
One Shape.

The Reasons Why They Are Not All OF
One Shape.
Why is there not a fixed form for all
eggs: We can see no reason in the anat-
omy of the bird, but we may often find
reasons for the shape of any particular
egg i'll its later history.
1t is noticeable, for instance, that the
more spherical eggs, as those of owls,
trogons and the like, are usually laid
in holes i'll the earth, rocks or trees,
where they cannot fall out of the nest,
and that the eggs Of the ordinary song
bird, which makes a well constructed
nest, are oval, while the slim, straight
sided, conoidal eggs, tapering sharply
to a point, belong to birds that construct
little or no nest-to the shore birds.
terms. guillemots and the like. Why?
Because these last drop them in small
clutches and with little or no prepara.
ton upon sand or rock, where, were
they spherical, they could only with
difficulty be kept closer beneath the sit.
ting bird, but conical objects will tend
always to roll toward center. An ad-
dltlonal advantage is that eggs of the
latter shape will take up less space
form snugger package to be warmed.
In the case Of guillemots the single egg
laid is especially fiat sided and tapering,
and the species owes its perpetuation
largely to this circumstance, since,
were it not for the eggs toplike tenden-
cy to revolve about its own apex, the
chances are that it would be pushed off
the ledge of naked sea cliff where the
careless or stupid bird leaves it.
This suggests word in reference to
the popular fable that sitting birds care
fully turn their eggs every day or often
er In order to warm them equally. No
such thing is done, because unnecessary,
