The American Corn Uuskcr. 
(JOHNSTON’S PATENT.! 
B 
FIGURE T 
The American Hand Corn Husker, renresented above, is 
apparently u very simple and useful implement. It promises to 
supply, at a cheap rate, a long-sought desideratum among far¬ 
mers—something to facilitate the husking of corn, and save the 
hands and fingers. 
It is nearly human in its operation, and becomes, in its use, 
almost a part of the hand, and yet will aid and protect it. It 
has been thoroughly tested and highly commendeu by more than 
one thousand ■practical farmers. 
Machines now in use for husking corn, do not operate well, 
can not facilitate the work, as they require all the corn to be 
picked and brought to them, and are expensive and complicated, 
and require skill to use them. The work is performed by them 
very imperfectly, the corn is wasted, and the husks, silks, and 
fibers, are only m part removed. But the new American Corn 
Husker obviates all these objections. Its advantages may be 
enumerated as follows: 
1— In the use of it the corn is only handled once, and less 
than when husked by hand, as only two motions are necessary, 
and the husks stripped only on one side. 
2— H can he used ns well with mittens or gloves, as without. 
.1—1 he corn does not have to be picked and brought to it. 
4—It is always m your hand, and can be used with the same 
facility m husking corn standing on the hill, or in the stook, or 
after it has been picked. 
.. 11 not any hindrance to the use of the fingers by which 
it is held—it is so light and compact. 
6—By two quick motions the corn is husked, so that one can 
husk much more with it than he can without it 
-J—T h « <7°™ is perfectly husked, and not a silk, or husk, or 
fiber is left. ’ 
8—The finger part of the Husker operates like the human fin. 
^ G a S ’nnpnnmg the husks, strippingthem off, & severing the ear. 
, ?—Tne ear is separated from the husks, most of which are 
left on the stalk. 
1°—By means of the diamond-pointed knife, and the leverage 
obtained between the cross-har, fingers and knife, the ear is 
very quickly and easily separated from the stalk 
H _ il affords ,i l P erfect protection to the hand and fingers. 
12 i he simplicity and price, only one dollar , will recommend 
it to every farmer. 
.iY p ?. nA i rI0N ’UA ny 01ie W1 " at once he expert in the use of 
this Husker. The ear should he seized by the left hand, near 
the middle, and in precisely the same way as if it was to ho 
husked bv the hand. The Husker is held in the right hand 
with the knife side up, in the same way that Sheep Shears are’ 
held. 1 he husks are seized near the lop of the ear with the fin¬ 
gers of the Husker. and are stripped off by a quick motion 
This is represented in the above illustration, (figure 2) 
Now you can sec where the ear should be cutoff,—and as the 
dinmond-poin'ed knife enters the stalk, the ear is severed by 
means thereof, and the leverage obtained between the cross¬ 
bar. the knife, and the forward ends of the fingers. Whatever 
husks were not stripped down by the first motion, now readily 
separate from the ear. This is represented by the above en¬ 
graving,— figure 3. This new Husker is manufactured by 
R. L HOWARD, Buffalo, N. Y
