The J. c. Crancross Automatic
pillow lift the invention of Minot
man, tried out, at the Peter chr
farm Friday evening, before quite q
large number of Minot citizens, who
were interested in seeing the sue
cess Of the undertaking. A repre-
sentative of the Independent was
there and made several rounds with
the plow.
AS an engine gang, the Cralncross
plow is complete success. As the
Feter Ehr farm is not very stony, the
best point of the pillow could not be
demonstrated as many times, as the
owner desired. However, several
rocks were encountered, and each
time the big plow was lifted up
wards and backwards automatically
until cleared and it would then enter
the ground Immediately.
The pillow was pulled by a gasoline
engine. The plows are easily adjust
cd and experts say that the Cairn-
cross pillow could hardly be improved
