First, it has one' stand of elevators with 7x12 buckets, two dumps and two sinks, both sinks having drags to move grain to the elevator. 'ear corn can be elevated in the ear or passed by the ele vator to the sheller, which has a capacity of 400 to 600 bushels per hour. As the ear corn passes the elevator on its way to the sheller, it crosses a grated opening into which the loose corn drops, so that the sheller has nothing to handle but the corn on the ear, and therefore has a larger shell-ing capacity. The shelled corn is then elevated to the cupola and separated by a Reliance Double Cleaner, which after a brief usage has so far well pleased the owner. It separates the corn from the Sheller into cleaned corn, cobs, dust and feed, each of which is run into a bin prepared for it. \vhen running ea-r corn to the stor age 'bins by means of a chain drag it is passed over a grated opening to remove the shelled grain, and when the grain comes from the crib it is handled in the same way. The drags from each sink and from the cribs are all operated from the first floor and have double drives, so that they may be run fast or slow, as the operator desires. A two-stand drop drive transmits the power' from the bottom, or line, shaft to the upper, or counter, shaft. The power is a 20-horse power steam engine, located in an 18x20-foot brick building connected with the main building. The fuel room adjoining the engine room is 18x20 feet in size and contains bins for coal and cebs, both of which are accessible from the same door. The elevator has also a. No. 8 Bowsher Corn Grinder, which is so located that corn can be dumped and stored in. A bill, from which it maybe drawn to the grinder. After crushing it is elevated to a stor age bin from which it is loaded into wagons. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
