FOR CLEARING STUMPS
The machine shown in the picture consists of a band saw operating over two narrow wheels, being
driven by a small gasoline engine, the whole located on a movable platform. The machine thus is
pulled from one stump to the next. The band saw swings on a pivot and is forced through a stump
so rapidly that it is possible to cut off a three foot stump level with the ground in two or three minutes.
A MACHINE THAT CATCHES BOLL-WEEVILS
Mounted on two wheels and pulled by on« animal which walks between the furrows, this machine is
designed to straddle the cotton row. The cotton stalk passes through a slit in the bottom of the
machine, and thus inclosed between its sides, is agitated vigorously by a (an, which is moved by a
cog arrangement. All insects, as well as the infected squares, are disengaged, and striking, of necessity,
the sloping walls, fall into receptacles at the bottom of each wall. These receptacles contain
kerosene oil, which kills the insects, and renders infected squares inflammable, so that they are
burned easily when receptacles are full.
