The most essential thing in setting
a separator for thrashing is to get It
level. Here again the thrasherman
should not guess, hut should have a
good spirit level and use 1t at every
setting. To do its best work the ma
chine must be as nearly level as pos
sible from side TO side, and 1t is gen.
orally conceded best to have 1t level
lengthwise, although few inches diff
ference in level between the front and
rear ends is not likely to be detri-
mental. II the machine Is set on
soft ground, one or two of the wheels
may sink further into the ground than
the others after 1t has been standing
for short time, and the operator
should not forget to watch this point.
A very slight difference in level be-
| tween the two sides of the separator
| will make the shafts all run against
the bearings on the lower side and
1t will also cause the grain constantly
to work toward the low side of the sep
arator and make it more difficult for
the cleaning mechanism to do good
work. Even II the machine is set on
| barn floor, 1t should be leveled care
| fully, for barn floors are rarely pre-
cisely level, and the weight of sepa-
rator may make 1t sag in weak places.
The main drive belt should hang
loosely over the pulleys, with just
enough tension to keep 1t running
smoothly. If It Is too tight. 1t will
have a tendency to pull the separator
out of place and will put unnecessary
ings and possibly make them heat or
pull the cylinder out of line so that
the teeth will not run true.
| When thrashing In the open, It Is
well to pay attention to the direction
of the wind, II there Is any choice
in the direction In which the machine
La to. be. set. II LIS, much more plea SAINT
for the men working at the machine
if 1t can be set so that the wind blows
the dust and chaff away from 4"em.
II steam engine Is used, the setting
should be such also that sparks will
be carried away from the separator
and straw stack.
| The separate" should always be
blocked solidly to prevent vibration as
much as possible and to prevent the
belt from pulling the machine for
ward. It will frequently save some
time II blocks of the right size and
shape for this purpose are selected or
prepared before the thrashing starts
and carried with the machine from
place to place. Wornout or broken
plowshares make excellent blocks.
Cylinder and coneaves.
The problem of adjusting the cylin.
der and cOncaves is to get them placed
in proper relation to each other with
the right number and arrangement OF
teeth In the concaves for the grain
that Is being thrashed. The adjust
ment should be such as thoroughly to
loosen oil the grain from the heads
without cracking or breaking up the
straw into such fine pieces that sepa'
ration will be difficult.
It is essential that the cylinder and
concaves be adjusted so that each
tooth is at all times equally distant
from the two between which II Is pass

ing, and that the concaves be kept
close enough to the cylinder that uu-
thrashed heads cannot get through.
A large majority Of the thrashing
machines Of the country are now
equipped with self-feeders. It is a
mistake, however, to assume that be-
cause the feeding is done mechan-
ically the feeder will always deliver
the unthrashed grain to the cylinder
in the proper manner when the bum
dies are pitched on promiscuously and
at irregular intervals. The governor
which controls the feeder should be
adjusted so that 1t will stop feeding
as quickly as possible when the speed
Is reduced below normal. By all
means 1t should be adjusted to act
more quickly than the governor on the
engine.
The bundles should be pitched on
one at time, with the heads toward
the machine, and the distances be-
tween bundles should be as nearly uni
form as possible. In bundle-thrashing
the center, or dividing board, should

Of the carrier. If one man on each
side of the machine cannot pitch bum
dies in the proper manner fast enough
to keep the machine supplied, 1t will
usually be beNer to supply extra pitch
ers than to have the two men pitch
two or more bundles at II time with
out any regard to the way they fall
in the conveyOr. 1t Is hard work to
keep the bundles going into the mn

Cleaning the Grain.
The adjustment of the cleaning
, mechanism and the proper direction
of the blast from the fan to separate
the grain satisfactorily from the chair
| calls for more skill on the part of
the operator than anything else In
connection with the operation of
thrashing machine. One of the main
duties Of the man In charge of the sep
aratOr Is to see that the grain Is as
nearly free as possible from chaff
and weed seeds before 1t is delivered
| from the machine. At the same time
he must see that the amount which
goes back In the taillngs elevator to
be rethrashed Is kept low and that
the loss occasioned by grain being
carried out of the machine and into
the stack is eliminated as nearly as
possible. The condition of the grain
and the construction Of different
makes Of machines are so variable
that 1t Is impossible to give any def
mite rules In all cases. However, an
operator who knows the function Of
each part of the cleaning mill how to
make all adjustments, and does every
thing possible to maintain the proper
speed, should have no great difficulty
In saving practically all the grain and
cleaning It well at the same time, II
he will examine the machine frequent
