edge. The rollers that sustain the ireight of the horse may be larger, 

 stronger, and easier ronuing than where the rollers are attached to the 

 chains. For a brake to regulate the 

 =peed of the machine, a couple of centri- 

 ; igal levers are pivoted to a couple of 

 •he arms of the flywheel, and having a 

 urakeshoe on the short arm to act on a 

 friction rim attached to the frame, the 



pDg arms of the levers being coimected 



1 the rocker bar bv rods, and to the 

 : ^ker one of the levers is coimected by 

 : coiled spring and adjusting screw, 

 .vhich tend to keep the brakes off the 

 rim when the speed is not too high; but 

 %vhen excess of speed throws out the centrifugal levers the shoes will be 



ressed on the rim till the speed slows to the ppoper limit. The machine is 

 _ lOAided with a simple stop device and is improved in other details. 



A Good Corn-Marker. — The woiBt diflSculty with ordinary three or four 



tooth corn-markers results 

 from the inflexibility of the 

 long bar to which the teeth or 

 marker are attached. In 

 pkSBing over uneven groimd 

 some of the teeth will not 

 touch the earth, and conse- 

 quently the planter must 

 guess the position in which 

 the seed shotild be planted. 

 The marker we herewith il- 

 lustrate is constructed to sur- 

 mount this difficulty — two 

 joints being made in the bar 

 which allow each tooth to 

 vaake its proper fturow on a very nneven stir&ce. The joints are made by 

 - J wing the bar apart at the placea indicated in the engraving, then coimect- 

 ig the sections by lx)lting on two stout iron straps, the bolts passing entirely 

 irough the bar of wood. Four straps of Ught wagon tire iron, each six 

 •iches long, and four six inch 

 ■ "Its will make the two joints. A 

 ■ lace of one inch left between the 

 -' ctiona of the bar will give suffi- 

 cient flexibility to it for the pur- 

 pose required. 



A Good Clod Crusher.—

about 1 1-2 or 2 inches thick, beveled and lapped, as shown in our engraving. 



Bore 2 holes (in place where indicated) with a half-inch bit; take 8 feet same 



sized rope, and tie loop in middle; put ends through holes and tie knot is
