THE WHEAT CULTUEIST. 



Scott's Pate^^t Gkindee. 



This invention consists of a grindstone turned off true 

 on the side, as well as on the periphery, and supported on 



a frame, as repre- 

 sented in thefigui'e. 



Tlie giindstone 

 is adjustable to any 

 requu-ed angle, and 

 the cutter bar, or 

 knife, is secm-elj 

 held in the swing- 

 ing frame, and 

 placed at the pro- 

 per bevel. The 

 stone slides the 

 whole length of the 

 frame, and grinds each section to its proper bevel with 

 great accuracy and facility. 



Every person who has had experience in grinding the 

 sections of mowing machines, will appreciate the valne 

 of such a device. The grinder is manufactured by 

 Kichardson & Co., Auburn, T. ; and has met with 

 excellent favor wherever it has been introduced. 



How TO Pitch Sheaves. 



There are numerous little considerations which a 

 pitcher must understand perfectly if he would pitch 

 sheaves easily and expeditiously. In the first place, he 

 should have a fork and tines much strai^hter than for 

 pitching hay or straw. A fork with crooked tines, and 

 spread wide apart, is a disagreeable tool to pitch with.
