Onions, however 50 short crop,
seem to hang heavy on the hands Of
those who raise them. But one or two
car loads have been sold yet. Some

Der, were sold in three lots, at prices
ranging from five to twenty-five dol

up; some of them over wells lately
drilled, and others over their wells

- AS a sample of what steam can do

record an instance in which the fast

Walter Bushey and |. III. Norton, while
threshing ut w. ii. Ellis in Salisbury
Nov. l, ran at the rate of one bushel in
90 seconds, as indicated by timing at
random, and with no special effort. In
one Instance one-half bushel was filled
in ~ seconds, and they are confident
that they could thresh easily, by special
effort, bushel in 10 seconds in bptnd
grain, as the above tests were partly in
mown grain. Mr.. John Ellis nut up
the grain, which was some of his own
raising. We are confident that If any
one can beat this record they are will
ing to try again. Their engine works
TO perfection, and is much liked wher-
ever used.
