OUTFIT A SUCCESS

er Invented by H.O. Sasens Said
to Work Perfectly at Test.
Minneapolis. Mimi. Dec. TO-
That the combination threshing
machine and engine recently invent
ed and patented by H. o. Sageng is
one of the greatest labor. money and
time saving devices produced for
years past. is now an evident fact.
The building of the machine at
the factory of the Minneapolis Steel
and Machinery Co.. has been rushed
during the past week and the small
army of skilled mechanics constantly
at the beck and call Of the inventor.
have now put on the finishing touch
es-every part and detail having
been made and assembled. until the
work at the present time represents
the Mecca of his aspirations.
Before a number of thresher ex-
peIts and skilled mechanics a test
run was made recently: The engine
was started and the machine put in
operation. bundles Of grain were fed
into The machine by means of the
self-feedine arms extending. to both
sides of the machine for distance
of thirteen feet. thence they were
carried into the cylinder and in a
few seconds the straw :. could be seen
flying out of the stacker at terrific
speed. and the wheat kernels falling
into the sack. perfectly clean and
free from dust. or foreign grains.
During the Jun everything worked
smOoth-so smooth, in fact. that one
would imagine che machine had been
tried for months. instead. of being
the initial test. ..zr~r~..-
- A noticeable fact was that there
was. practically no dust about it. it
being ali carried to the back of the
machine and out through the blower
with the straw. @ ..~
- Then there is the engine. which
is. an entirely new departure in
threshing machine making. It occupie
only a small space 3x6x4 feet, at che
front Of the machine, and is built
largely after the.fashion of a marine
or automobile engine. running at a
high rate of speed. with more than
ample power for climbing any road
grade or threshing any grain under
the most trying circumstances.
Directly above the engine is the
drivers cab, where the whole
mechanism of the machine is operat-
ed and controlled by two parts. and
from which position all parts Of the
machine can be observed at any
time.
Aside from the engine and cab.
the machine resembles the old style
threshers to great extent. except
for the fact that it is much simpli-
fed and has fewer working parts.
with larger grain separating
capacity and delivers the grain into
the sacks much cleaner than the old
style machines. From start to finish
the run was made without hitch
and those present were gleatly
enthused as to the merits of the
machine. One of the gentlemen
present. a man of more than twenty
years experience in the threshing
machine business. made statement
as follows: II am free to say. that
it fully meets the requirements of
the threshers better than any other
machine on the market at the pre-
sent time. and will be a money.
labor and time saver: that it is a
machine that has come to stay and
cannot fail to wholly revo]utionize
the threshing business
From everv side. nothing but
praise of the new invention could be
heard. A representative of one OF
the LARGEST threshing machine manu-
tacturers OF to-day. who was present
at the test. states: "This COnvinces
me that the large steam rigs have
out-lived their usefulness. and that
the Saqeng machine is the coming
machine.
A company has been formed and
capitalized at Sl.OOO.OOO and they
will erect factory and place their
machines on the market as soon as
possible.
