A Pony Thresher.

Farmers who have wheat unthreshed
will be interested in the fact that thresh-
ing has been going on in Foster county,
on the Darlington and Casey farm, for
the last ten days, by means Of three.
horse tread power machine. When Sena-
tor Casey left for the east he ordered one
of these sepaTators for the farm, and ID
pleased to learn Of it's successful opera
ton. It is threshing about 800 bushels
daily, from the stack. and is easily oper-
ated by five hands. Three horses furnish
ample power by means of treading a
slightly inclined way. Thle is not ex.
hausting to the horses as the usual steep
incline power. A governor regulates the
speed of the machine SO that very steady
motion is obtained, and the work OF
separating the grain Is done fully
as we'll as in the large
separators. The price of an outfit COM
plete is $3.50, and the manufacturers
claim for it capacity of 400 bushels per
day. It is easily moved from point to
point and is quite inexpensive to run.
There is no danger from fire, and for
other reasons 1t appears that the ma
chine is good one for farmer in this
country to have.
The horse power is being used for
other work, such as elevating grain, run
ming fan mills. feed mills, &c. The
owner of an elevator at Sheyenne, on the
j. & N, has discarded the engine and
boiler formerly used and substituted
with successful results, the horse power

larger wheel provides for the slower speed
OF the oxen. He claims the machine will
thresh 500 bushels day and do it
we'll, saving more grain than
the steamers. He has saved
the cost of one of these small machines
over what he would have to pay to steam
threshers on crop Of 300 acres. Some
thing must be done to reduce the cost of
threshing in this county. It is too high,
and the farmer has to lie idle too long
awaiting the movements of steam

seems that these small separators about

buy one and do their own work at leis.

figure can save cents a bushel on my

The Ellendale Bank Assignment.

of the condition OF its affairs to Public
Examiner Wallace at close of business
October 31st. The statement was as fol-
lows: Capital stock, S10,0OO; deposits
subject to check, $9,834,52; cash on
hand, $6.s5l.s5: due from banks, s454.69;
bills payable, $1,000, making the total in
debtedness $1O,834.52 other than to

count, over-drafts, real estate, furniture
and fixtures amount to $12,6S969, SO that
unless bills discount are worth less than
25 cents on the dollar. deposltors cannot
lose anything. From what IS known ot
the condition of the bank at time of as.
signment, this statement shows that the
