'Fig. 3 is a front elevation of .g-Fig. 1 with the draft means removed.

1 Referring to the drawing by reference munerals, l designates the rear supporting wheels and '2 the. front supporting wheels ofthe machine. The rear wheels are secured on the ends of an axle 3 jmu-naled boxes & Ournaledto th rear part of the frame work The main frame consists of two lower horizontal longitudinally extending bars 6 olfset downwardlynear the front, as at T,

forpurpose to be later described. an upper set of horizontal bars 8 extending longitudinally above the bars 6 from the front to a point-about halfway to the rear of the machine: vertical braces 9 between said two vertical rear posts 10, an upper set of forwardly and downwardly inclined bars 11 extending from the upper end of posts 10 and having their-lower ends fastened in the bares near the front of the machine, a

lower set of forwardly inclined frame bars lflextending from the posts 10 and having their lower ends secured in the frame bars 13 are 6 near the front of the machine. braces near the middle of the frame to give it steadiness. i

,,In the hub of each front wheel is jouruseful Shock Gathereraiad Leader, of

and .=loading them into wagons; and the ob jipll lgangular in e1-oss} sec tioi1- ,end extending through and above an angular hole .16 'ln the enlarged end port on-l7 ofa horizontal cross ha].- 118, which is pivotally connected at 19 'w ith.the rigid cross Dal-'20 inf-"the frame. 'l he --lmi' -18 is guided"horizontally in the \-okes 21 seemed-cinch to one of the-burs S.

"Y'llie-whole device is drawn by horses one pulling in each of-the swingle trees 22, each of whielhis pivotally mounted on the' rear ert-rss piece' 22 of thills 22*. of said cross. pieces has n rearwardly. extending:

rigid arm pivotallvcounected to the front end "tithe frame bar 6 .(as attM in Fig. 2) thust-nabling the lmrses'to hold back when the device is moving downhilh v To provide for lateral turning I secure on each side one endof a chain 23" to the crossbar '22, as at 24 invFig. l, and the 'otherend', secured to an eye 25' fastened on the har 15. Thus for exam )le when the liiachine 'isto he turned to tie right the thills on bifurcated poles will assume the positions shown in dotted lines. In turning to this position the chain on the'left side pole will pull the wheels to the iosit-ions '2 and the right side chain will e slack although the horse on that-side is free to pull just as hard as the other one by means of the pole. This action will he just reversed in turning to the left.

Turning now to the working mechanisms and their operations it will be understood that there are one upper and one lower, pa rallel. endless conveyors. The upper conveyor consists of two endless chains 25 (on: on each side) passing over the upper sprockets 26. which al'e sccured on shaft 27 journaled sets of longitudinally extending bars.- two in the upper ends of the bars 10 and 11.

the chains also passiugover' sprockets 28 ends. of bars 12; the lower sprockets 36. i
