Framers' Two-Hole Shelter. 



As its name indicates, it is designed for farmers who would avoid the trouble of 

 handling, all at one time, the large amounts of grain that are crowded through the 

 large Sheller. Its cost is not so great but that every well-to-do farmer, or club of far- 

 mers, may own and control a machine. It requires only the help ordinarily employed 

 about a farm to operate it to advantage, two men being sufficient to load or unload it 

 and these (with perhaps in addition a boy to drive) are enough to work it. It may be 

 used as a hand Sheller when necessity requires. 



The tendency of the age to dispense with hand labor, wherever mechanical devices 

 can be made effective as a substitute, has developed the demand for such a machine 

 from the thousands with whom corn raising is a subordinate interest, or at least their 

 annual product not large enough to warrant the employment of the large machines, 

 and that class is found in nearly all States of the Union outside the great "corn-belts," 

 and to no small extent within that belt where stock-feeders, raising large corn crops 

 annually, find it desirable to regulate their shelling to their convenience in feeding? 

 rather than make one " big shelling job " of it, and be subject to the expense and risks 

 of storage.
