 500 bushels per day, and separates the ears in a clean state, free

CORN SHELLERS. 



A good corn sheller should deliver the corn clean and free from 

 the chaff and cobs. For small quantities a sheller is made which

For large quantities the Cannon Corn Sheller, so called from its 

 lengthened cylindrical form, is in general use. It has a capacity of 

 about seventy-five bushels per hour.
