and Swenson returned on Thursday of
this week. We have ''interviewed'
the latter gentleman at some length,
and he expresses himself as well
pleased with the trip. The city of
Moscow he describes as four miles
from Marion Center The leading in
habitants live in frame houses, the
lower classes in huts with walls of
earth and roofs matched with prairie
grass. Timber being scarce, the Men,
nonites burn a mixture of cOrnstalks,
sunflUwers and stable manure thor
oughly dried. Swenson says he talked
threshing machine to them, but for
the present thry preferred stone roll
er two and half feet long by two feet
in diameter. The surface of this is
divided into seven deep cogs. rod is
run through the center of the roller,
and this shafts are attached. and when
the grain is laid down on Il clay floor,
a horse is attached and the roller goes
over it round and round, like the ele-
phant when ''the band begins to play"
The Mennonites will need several hun
dred of these, and Mr.. Swenson
brought home model with view of
constructing a Russian threshing ma
chine Of the justly celebrated Junction
City stone. For the rest we may say
that the visitors report the Mennonites
an industrious, patient people, with
the muscle and money to develope any
country in which they may settle
Junction CTR Union.
