to a tl,resher-ls marvel. 1t receives
the straw from the elevator of the tllresh-
ing machine and delivers it into q 6tack
aWaG hon, the generator. and with one
man to attend it will construct q stack
forty feet in height, if desired, and ninety

straw just where vented, ut sufficient
height to be placed at the Will OF TIRE ope-
rator, W; S. Dean has disposed of a
