DESCRIPTION OF THE TABLE-TOP 

 CORN-CART. 



The cut represents a level, portable table, 

 designed to take the corn from the field to the 

 cutter, to be cut without laying it upon the 

 ground, avoiding handling, soiling, getting it 

 gritty or any mixing it with stones, gravel, 

 wood, or dirt of any kind, to dull or injure the 

 knives, or to get to the animals in their food. 

 The top is 6*/ 2 x 9^ feet. The wheels are '40 

 inches in diameter, with a 4-inch tread. It is 

 arranged to use one horse or two. The tall 

 corn is spread upon it when cut, the butts all 

 on one side, and can be fed into the cutter 

 directly from the cart, which is the same height 

 as the cutter. The rollers of the cutter feed 

 the corn to the knives by merely pushing the 

 butt-ends to the rollers. In practical use, it 

 works admirably, and is a very useful cart upon 

 a farm for gathering fruit and other crops in 

 the field.
