- On the Woodward farm, 1860
bushels wheat were threshpd after
dinner, August 9th, 1895, with
Pitts 4Ox6O separator, Is horse en-
gine and DOrtOn self feeder. Who
can beat that?
- The bricklayers are now atwork
on the walls Of the second story OF
the new school house. 1t is expected
that the building will be so far com
pleted that school cnn commence by
the first OF October.
- The ponderous threshing ma
chimes are pounding out the golden
wheat at a rapid rate these fine days.
From early morn till late at nigh,
the rattle OF the heavy grain wagons
are heard on all roads leading to the
city. The elevators will soon be full.
AS to quality, the berry is fine and
plump, the color good, and the grade
ought to be No. l hard. Many mr.
chimes report 40 bushels to the acre.
Corbley Eneix, the other day,
brought a beet to the SHEAF Office, a
real live beet not a "dead beat" and
though planted, as he solemnly de-
clared, from seed in the spring, the
seeds were now ma turing on the top,
thus crowding, as it were, two sea-
sons into one. He also exhibited a
potato vine with Il lot of tubers at
tached above ground. The reason
for that, we suppose, is thatsomany
potatoes had grown under ground
that there was no more room there,
and some OF them had to get out and
grow on top. Nature, even, tries tn
Out-do herself in this wonderful year
fOrplant growth.
One farmer out northwest of the
city made the mistake OF cutting his
field OF 16O acres in Il square piece,
and when he finished found himself
unable to get his team and binder
out of the field owing to the fact
that the shocks stood SO thick in the
way. He was compelled to summon
all his force and make path through
the field, before lie could get back to
the house. Luckily it was amachine
which only cut six feet wide. Crook

Can't you do better than that,
Mckenzie? Why. west Of Warren q
farmer of 16O acres had TO 60 and
buy 16O acres adjoining in order to
have room to put the shocks on.
W. +. Powell, the machine man,
has certainly done his share tow
ards taking care Of this years inn
mense crop. In fact he and his force
Of helpers have been continually on
the Jump since long before harvest
begun. 1t is no small task to fit out
the vast amount OF machinery nee
essary in harvesting a crop, and
much depends upon the promptness
Of the machine man in supply ying ex-
tras, etc Mr.. Powell has had a very
extensive trade in threshing machin
es and engines this year, having sold
in all about 25 outfits. He controls
practically the bulk OF this business
from Crookston to the boundary
line AS capable, prompt and ef-
ficient business man Mr. Powell
stands way in the front. The rush
will soon be over, and as everything
is coming his way, he feels happy in
the thought that his work has been
we'll done and that the golden re-
