a Maryelous Machine.

Grinnell, Oct An invention has
been perfected and pronounced a sue
cess at Oskaloosa which will revolu-3
tionize methods of corn huslking thru
out the agricultural regions Of the
United States. William Hibbs, OF Oska- 4
aioosa, has perfected corn harvester
which has just been tried and is pro-
nounced an unqualified success. Those
who have seen the marvellous working
of the machine say that 1T will do for
corn harvesting what the self binder
has done in the harvesting Of small
grain. Inoperation. a pair Of long roll
ers. widely separated at the bottom and
rising at an angle of As degrees, strad-
die the rows Of corn. These rollers work
Inward, pluck the car of corn, which is
given to another pair of rollers, and s
husked and run up an Inclined plane
and dumped into the wagon The ma
chine is comparatively cheap and can be
operated by two hands. The speed with
which it works will make.i 1t a means of
great economy to the farmer. A COM
|pany is being organized in Oskaloosa
for its manufacture. and a large fac
tory will be erected and the machine
placed on the market at once.
