244 SCIENCE OF SUCCESSFUL THRESHING 



ground so that in backing, the rear wheels of the wagon 

 will come against the log before striking and damaging 

 the machine. 



The No. 2 Weigher is also called the "Dakota style 

 weigher." The elevator is so high that the grain is suffi- 

 ciently elevated to be delivered by the long spout on either 

 side of the machine. In this way the cross conveyor is 

 dispensed with. As the spout is long, it will hold con- 

 siderable grain so that the exchange of sacks may be made 

 in fast threshing, without danger of choking the elevator 

 by obstructing its delivery. The grain may be delivered 

 in bulk into wagons driven along side the separator as 

 the end of the spout is a sufficient distance from the sep- 

 arator to make it unnecessary to back the wagon up to 

 the machine. Where grain is to be sacked, an empty sta- 

 tionary wagon may be used to sack in, thus avoiding the 

 necessity of lifting the sacks of grain into the wagon which 

 hauls them away. The long spout is provided with hooks 

 to hold the sacks. The No. 2 weigher is used very gen- 

 erally in the localities where the threshing is done in the 

 open field. It is the only suitable grain-handler for use 

 in connection with portable-bins, such as are used in the 

 Northwest. The spout is long enough to deliver the grain 

 into these bins and the weighing apparatus automatically 

 records the number of bushels.
