THE FARM AUTO.
Tho Invention Of J. u. Mnhana Pre-
scented for Consideration.

(From tho Poultney Journnl)
The Journal has. At different times.
givon reference to the invention OF DR..
J. p. Mahana, which he has perfected
and IL now ready 20 begin the nanufac-
ture Of He has also completed the In
vcntion Of three other farm implements.
all Of which seem 70 be very practical
and which have certainly met with APP
prevail.
Tho inventions have enlisted the inter-
est Of several of the business mon of this
town. ana some efror; has been put forth
towards estn blIshing the manufacture Of
these implements in POultncy, and 70
that end DR.. MahaDa has submitted
proposition towards the establishing Of
stock company. and that anyone Inter-
estcd may become acquainted with the
inventions and the proposition. VIC are
devotng sorne space to description.
Tho farm auto car will DO the work on
our hill arms that ,t,s horses now do
that Is. with one man Whe dr!ver) will
plow SOW, harrow, Also SOW and reap
and the same man Will load the hay or
grain in the neld in the same manner as
Is now done with the tsams. 1t will also
haul tho manure and spread II on the
| field. take the manure spreader back to
the yard and DO the work OF two men in
re-loading, It viii DO any and oil work
Tint any portable engine now does. and
Will travel on the road at I. TO IS miles
per hour, more or less. as desired.
Another invention Is the peculiarly
constructed double cylinder gasoline
engine especially designed for every and
| all farm and shop use from single
horsepower UP to any needed power. II
IL freed entirely from water and other
appliances such as running fans and
wings TO keep It cool.
The third ia the manurespreadin2
body, to be put on and of any common
farm wagon gear. as you would hay or
wood rack the inanuree to be spread or
the field by the draft of the team, ns Is
the case of all other manure spreaders
OH the market by placing one Of said
farm engines on the footooard by the
side OF the driver and duly connected tc
the heater will run or and spread SAID
manure better than the draft OF any
team can do It. When in the yard 1t vii
perform the labor of two men in loading
manure when said engine Is installed as
above stated.
! AnOtNCr Is the OeVlCe KNOWN as tn'
hay unoader, where the said farm
engine takes the place of the usua
| horse and driver TO haul the hay from
the load to the loft or NOV. With this
device the loader. when his fork Is
ready to lift. will throw upward n leve
that is always within reach; the wind
ing spool is put in action, winds th'
rope that lifts and carries tie hay wher,
desired, then downward throw Of tn,
lever disensages the winding spool anC
engages n fellow spool TO which is at
tached the trip rope. which trips o
unlocks the hay from said fork an'
brings It back over the load and by n,
upward movement of said lever half wa.
between the other two movements, bot
spools are disengaged and both rope
loose and free for the fork to be again
adjusted to be repeated to the end
Then the engine Is stopped until agai'
needed. The farm engine Is not ncede
to unload hay or grain or manure whel
the farm auto car Il used to haul tn
load for 1t has its appliances to do tina
engine work.
The three latter have been full
demonstrated by actual use on the farr
by the farmer while there are som
minor points on the auto car. such a
piowing and moving. which cannot b
demonstrated until the season pcrmit-
The proposition ia to incorporate wit
a capital stock OF 100000, divided int
