The Windstacker.

FRANKLIN (lnd.) Democrat.
In our trade and agricultural eX-
changes we note some discussion con-
corning the merits of the Pneumatic or
Wind stacker. We believe the farmers
of Johnson County, situated as they are,
in one of the best agricultural regions in
the world, are to be felicitated for their
excellent judgment in adopting i'm
proved methods in farming without be-
ing governed by prejrdice or hearsay
To the farmers of Johnson County, who
have been familiar with the Wind
stacker since its introduction in 1891
discussions at this time concerning the
merits>of the Wind stacker must be
amusing. When they know that they
have straw stacks that have stood for
three, four and five years with the straw
bright and clean a few inches below the
surface. they certainly cannot help
wondering why the Wind stacker could
anywhere be condemned because the
straw would not keep The geographi-
Cal position Of the County, the whole of
which lies within forty miles of the CAPT
tai City of the State, makes it readll y
accessible to the agents of all the agri-
cultural implement manufacturers. For
that reason, this Comfy is particularly
favored in having the first opportunity
to receive and judge Of new inver ions.
We suppose the contests by agents for
sales Of machinery are as keen here as
they could possibly be anywhere. If,
therefore. there should be any weakness
es or defects in a machine, the agents of
competing machinery would be swift to
discover them and point them out to
BUYERS. The fact is, that thresherman
In this County to-day without a wind
stacker, has very little to do, and none
of them thinks of buying new machine
without it. Farmers will no longer en-
dure the disagreeable> and arduous labor
required in stacking straw, nor can they
secure hands in busy season to do such
work. The manufacturer of thresbing
machine in this day, which is not adapt
ed to work in connection with the Wind
Stacker, has no sale for his goods in this
County, and we are surprised that farm
ers or threshermen in any locality would
think of using old time methods or ma
chinery not adapted for the best use of
progressive improvements.
