The purpose OF the usach4ne Is tosawe
grain By nsng lHbe machine com.
Irhnies that have many horses can
save hfndreds of dollars t:;iah are lost
and no one can ten where the leak Is.
Livery st:Ibte owners can keep tab ON
the ama11t of feed used and feel sure
that there is NO waste Of gradns
Mr.. Johns mas one Of these ma
chtnss at his residence wllene he clear
Jy demonstrates every claam that ne
nralses for 1t. 1t Is a slot maIchane:
The graiE is poured unto It tIfuuga a,
hopper The, delivery q: feed for q
horse or any other aniri;H TO wi1fcsil
gran is fed is made BY dToGpfne e
caeclt in siat pushing a slide for
ward which opens yaAye. A lever
is tI.awn ami this permits the grain
to drop thrcugh Ito another valve.
Wl1en Tho lever is put in Gssnce again
and qhe side Is brought back the de-
sired q,1ltey Of grain falls slllroiisth;s
1cle opened valve irto The lTecepsaclc
below. OF course one side viii only
deliver the. same quantity OF grain ex-
ceos that it be adjusted. Tnat is 10
s.v oraa side permits the same quaint
|lN OF grain ITO fan .nle same sas q ss1i:
machine delivers a stick of chewing
gum or qua7,tsty OF mats. Burt eacs1
s,t.te may be adjusted to let inherent
quantities tan. The machine Is accu.
rate in its adjustments and by manu,7 gi
ul1t,ns the; machine Mr.. JcSsns san, tle-
|livsr amy desired wetght " sratn SssaS
|Ae wants even 10 thes ornce. But the
IDEA Is to hltWe different Slides in use
|for which different stiscls are used.
Each side to give a dEfere5t Quantity
eJt grain and the quantity be hxed
onn Tho checks tf,nt drcp into the
alct are all different sizes 50 that
there is no WAY for' "a man TO get more
ont OF the machine than MS check
calls fof. In the machine TIL; Z Mr.
Johns mas at his shop at his residence
there are six different slides. All are
cpcral3ed by cffeclus or different sizes.
The slides are numbered' I, 3. 8, 9. $.
G and falo corresponding checks;
Slide No. operated by check No 4
will feed hud-se two quarts of grain.
Slide No 1, operated by check No. 2.
delivers two one-lialt Quarts of griidni
Slide No. 8 with corresponding lets
three saarts through the valves. Slide
No. same number OF check delivers
q feed OF four quarts. Slide S 'wfh fee4l
an animal five quarts and SIDE g With
sar1e number check increases thc
quantity 10 SIX Quaats. Amy number
cii slides can be a&tlched Eud there
would be no change In the resnlt teS-l
cerlt the variations of quaint fsies that
would be delivercd-, Whens There are
sey eraq slides each slide delivers It's
own quantity Of gratn which IL dtHer:
erl. from any Of the other slides and
cn1y ONE sire check will 11oetstte
slide.
There ts absolutely no way of cheat-
ing the Machine, It Dc q sort OF
compound loclsmg arrangement. Tae
delivery OF feed ds mlds by four mo-
tions, and these motions must come i
in regular order or the machine looks !
and there is mo delivery until HE reg.
ular crdsr Is followed. 1t locks four
ways. There rs only one way CT open
ing the device and thst Is by a check
l.acr check brings it's own qtIantityI
ansl nothing more cam be taken.
where flHns buy large quantities. d.I
gratn by wetgGpt as It, Is sold and II
ia fed by rneastlre ttllare is a waste. !,
