The combined harvester of ".
l.. LaFollette was laid up for re-
pairs Thursday by meeting with
quite &n accident ~ ednesday A
rock Of considorablesjze was scooped
up by it, being carried by the drap-
ers up the elevator and into the
cylinder Of The threaber, and as the
cylinder was not constructed for
crushing rock trouble Of course en-
sued. The damaged cylinder was
soon repaired, however, and the
harvester is again busy putting Mr..
LaF0iIctte's 1lGO crop into the
sack. The working Of this machine
has disrroyed all the criticisms
that were made for it before it had
commenced work, and shows that
it is a great success even over Pa
louise hills. The machine last week
cut and threshed 222 acre@. or an
average of b acres per day, but
four men being required TO operate
IT, It does it work smoothly and
ceanly, and is surely the machine
for a farmer who carries on opera
tions on SO extensive a scale rs does
Mr.. LaFollette. 1t cuts the grain
faster and with less help than q
header. and when it has been over
the ground there Is 40 further ex.
pense Of stacking or threshing A
team Of "a horses operates the hor-
yester, and push it up nil and
down without much difficulty.

minstrc!s; a large audience last

strumentaI s0loiats, ana vaudeville
stars This company viii appear

Wednesday evening.
The lecture by DR., Thomas on
