Clean oats aid in maintaining the normal health of 

 the horse and the favorable results obtained by feeding 

 oats that have been drawn through a self-acting oats 

 cleaner are recognized by every veterinarian. 



The Higbie Oats Cleaner is a valuable asset to the 

 modern stable. It will remove one bushel of dirt and 

 other foreign matter from every 25 to 30 bushels of oats. 



This oats cleaner is hand built and assembled in the 

 most durable manner possible. It is constructed of kiln- 

 dried whitewood, with brass trimmings, natural finish, 

 and with two coats of varnish. 



Extending from top to bottom of the cleaner are eleven 

 downwardly inclined screens, operating in pairs. Below 

 each pair of screens is located a table elevated in the 

 center, thus the oats fall alternately from the screens to 

 the table; the object of these tables being to divide 

 the oats and to give them a very rapid impetus before 

 dashing to the next set of screens. This system has 

 shown a great improvement over the old way of running 

 the oats down a single set of screens all together. 



The operating valve is located in the top of the cleaner; 

 directly below this is a large coarse grate which permits 

 the oats to pass through but throws off everything larger, 

 such as stones, sticks, glass, or any coarse accumulations. 

 Below this grate are the zig-zag screens and the tables 

 extending through the entire cleaner to the discharge 

 spout below. The dirt box is in the base of the cleaner 

 and may be emptied through a hand-hole in the bottom.
