Ivor beot-harvesttng in hills there are Vry few implements in existnnee. Ve think Unit our work would not bu eom- plcto without giving some hints us to devices that huyo met with more or Wo aueceas. The harvester discribed in tho Sugar Boot of Stptombor, 1807, was for one row on u ilnt surface; the same idea with cortain variations, lias been applied to hills. The traction regulator and and general shape of the implement , s remain the samu in both cades, The knives and poiiiura aie, however, dlf- ; ' . 'ferent, and appear to bo well Hiijied to , tlie work to bo accomplished. Wu have supposed the roota crowing in two rows on top of each hill. .After each r , passage oi tliu Bajac harvester the two rows of beets in one of the hills are '" lifted from their positon and may be v . subsequently pulled by hand, even by a child, withdut an effort. The vertical t, knife passes thiough t ho axis of the between tho two beetH; the roots are moved hack word ami fornwurd without in anv wav b.-mg bruis-od, The two points with tails then pass on the right , of one and on thu leit of the other beet which has been displaced, the oporation - of loosening the beet from the earth is f then complete. ,' ' Tno harvest s has two slicing disks.' ILfsi such as attached to the ainglc-row itn- pi ' p.euient; one of tJiero disks 'niova in Ij ... t ,i out of the lirst, and the other ou a level with the bak pointers. Th- main work accomplished by the disks is that of cutting of the leaves, which, if too numerous, would prevent a satisfactory satisfac-tory working of the filters, The cartn being cut open in front of knives, the hills retain their shapo aftor the pass-of pass-of the harvester. It must be said, fur-I fur-I . ' thermore, that the disks in question E keep the knives in a vertical position I undata regular dept. The stability of the implement during the wonting largely depends upon them. A very m important feature relating to this har- ' " vester Is that it may be altered to a dat surface implement. Wo consider it advantageous for the B builders of beet harvesters in tho Unil-H Unil-H ' K&1 States to import the principal nppli-H nppli-H . ances in continental lihiropo, and from H these maku their modilications rather H ' than attempt new di vices which cost H considerable money tor experimenting H and when completed frequently, do not H meet the requirements of scientiliu beet B cultivation, which demands that the B roots shall not in any way bo bruU J. B Several implemoms which wo have ex-B ex-B amined are constructed on the biuis 1 wo hovo just siiKgested, the main differ-B differ-B ence in thu ' European plan that the B conductor of the harvester is seated on B the implement and does not direct his B horses irom a standing position The V additional weight of one man does not B not effect tho requiste tractional force H to any extent, and in most cases is most H sufficient to press down the harvester H as does the foroweighted wheels, as ad-H ad-H opted in the now design of the machines B previously diacribed tu these pages.
