GRIFFITH <a TURNER CO. 



RAPID-FIRE HAY PRESS 



In this press the end of Pitman extends far past end of drive 

 arm; wedge and roller are on the opposite side of Pitman. The 

 forward stroke begins by the drive arm pushing against roller 

 on opposite side, thus pushing plunger rapidly forward at the 

 beginning of stroke and while hay is still loose in box. The 

 drive arm takes up the stroke just as the hay is becoming com- 

 pact. With the one-horse Rapid Fire Press you get two 33-inch 

 strokes to one round of horse.

OWEN'S BEAN AND PEA THRESHER 



STBONCr AND HTFICIENT. (No. 4). 



It will thresh all varieties of beans and peas directly 

 from the vines as taken from the field, without splitting 

 the grain, and at the same time shred the vines, the 

 same as the larger size threshers. We wish to make 

 one exception to the above, and that is in cow peas, 

 where the vines grow very rank and heavy. You will 

 readily see that, on account of its size, the No. 4 could 

 not possibly be expected to handle these like one of our 

 larger threshers, but where the vines do not grow too 

 large and where care is exercised in feeding, it does 

 very good work, indeed. We have shipped a great many 

 of the No. 4 threshers to all parts of the South, and they 

 are giving excellent satisfaction, especially with those 

 who simply wish to save the seed and do not care for a 

 large capacity. Capacity, 10 bushels per hour. One to 

 three horse-power. 



The No. 4 will also thresh buckwheat. Weight, 400 

 pounds. Price, $125.00. 



16z20 DOUBLE CYLINDER. 

 The machine will thresh all kinds of peas and beans, 

 no matter what kind or variety you grow, even cow peas 

 and soy beans, directly from the vines without splitting 

 the seed. 



The 16x20 will produce the seed in the cleanest pos- 

 sible manner, because of the large separating space and 

 strong blast that we have equipped all Owens Threshers 

 with, thus demanding the highest market prices. This 

 machine will also thresh buckwheat, kaffir corn, cane 

 and sorghum. Many ciistomers successfully thresh 

 small grain, such as wheat, oats, barley, millet, etc., but 

 extras are necessary to give the proper speed. If you 

 are growing peas and beans you will find the 16i:20 Owens HuUer a splendid all around, useful machine that will quickly pay 

 for itself and afterwards be a source of great profit. Capacity, 14 to 20 bushels per hour. Four horse-power. Weight, 750 

 pounds. Elevator extra. Price, $200.00, 



New model No. 9, with heavy bearings, wooden frame and box; malle- 

 able iron cylinder and concave sections. Teeth do not break. Heavy fly- 

 wheel and two cranks. Patent revolving screen, which insures absolutely 

 clean peas and carries the refuse through a separate outlet. Reversible 

 hopper to allow use of machine for cleaning wheat or other small grain. 

 Cleans and threshes the peas thoroughly without breaking them. Shipping 

 weight, 260 pounds. Can be furnished for operation by power by substi- 

 tuting a pulley and heavier shaft for one of the cranks at an additional 

 net cost of $.2.50. Cow Peas intended for seed should be allowed to get 

 more mature. These will unavoidably lose most of the leaves, but will 

 still be good feed after the Peas are picked and threshed. 



A very successful method of handling this crop is to pick the pods and 

 thresh the Peas, turning the vines under, thus making the Cow Pea a profit- 

 able money producer (they always bring good prices) and at the same 

 time a soil saver. It comes nearer solving the problem of "eating your 

 cake and having it, too" than anv other proposition on the farm. The 

 price of Seed Peas in some seasons have ranged as high as $4.00 per bushel, 

 and it is therefore an object for every farmer to save his own seed (and 

 s?n them, too), which can best be accomplished by the use of a ROYAL 

 PEA HULLER. 



THE ROYAL, PEA HULLER will save a larger per cent, of all the Peas 

 than any other known method. The ownership of a Royal Pea Huller rep- 

 resents an outlay so small in comparison to the benefits, that no successful 

 farmer will be without one. 



Special and exclusive features to be had only with these machines are 

 covered by patent, and cannot be had in any other make. 

 Capacity, 8 to 15 bushels Dry Peas per hotir. Price, $55.00.
