The object of the invention is to provide a 

 frame having parallel beams, said beams being 

 ndiipled lo be adjastctl nearer together or fnr-

 in ero>s liars are employed by securing-bolts. 

 ICiicli beam carries a series of packets, iu one 

 of which is received a brace, which bears 

 against a plow foot or standard, which is se- 

 cured to the beam by bolts and capable of be- 

 ing i-eadily adjusted to either of the series of 

 pockets. The beams are arranged parallel 

 when ready for service, and the cross-bars are 

 held at right angles to the beams by suitable 

 braces. Tho beams (ire three or moroin num- 

 ber, are soenred to the cross-bars parallel with 

 uacli oi her, and the pockets or bi-ace-blocks 

 are preferably arranged in transvci-se rows of
