28 434 HARV^ESTING-MACHINES, GRAIN. A thrashing, cleaning, and separating attachment is carried on some of these headers.This elaborate mechanism is known as a combined harvester. Fig. 52 shows it as made bythe Benicia Agricultural Works. It spouts the cleaned grain into sacks handled by menriding on the machine, wlio transfer it. ready for nuirket, to the tender-wagon alongside asfast as the sacks are filled. Tlio straw from the thrasher serves as fuel for the engine, whichis made witli a fire-box expressly designed as a straw-lnirner. This use of engines in harvest-ing, where farming is done on a large scale, the ground level and affording good footing forthe engine-wheels under the influence of a steadily dry summer climate, is rapidly extending,having proved economical lioth in respect of money and time. Fig. 58 exhibits one of thewide-cut headers (Geisers), with traction engine attached, in the field.
