Demonstration Made at Lafayette Saturday of \>w Wonder. An invention that promises to bring fame to the inventor was demonstrated at Lafayette Saturday. The new invention is a corn harvester, which has been perfected by Bert J. Kaull, who has been working on the device for the past fjix years, and it is only recently that he has brought it to a state of perfection where he believes it is ready for the market. The big machine was drawn by four horses through a rolling field and did its work perfectly. Corn stalks that lay on the ground were' picked up as with human hands, shucked, and the corn conveyed to the wagon that was driven at the side. It matters little whether dr not the corn is standing straight, or bent over, the long, arm-like rolls reach down and lift the stalks to the studded snapping rolls. The rolls not only snap the corn from the stalk, but also clean it of all husks. The corn is then elevated and dropped into a wagon driven beside the machine. The harvester does not shell the corn in the picking operation, and but few grains are knocked from the ears in gathering a wagon load. No grains are lost in the operation, for beneath the husking rolls is a pan into which all grains are dropped. In good corn, where the ground is level and not too rolling, this machine can pick, husk and deliver to a wagon 500 bushels of corn in ten hours.
