A report has reached us that the
threshing machine that the Fursten-
berg boys made, which we recorded
as being made last winter, did not
work just satisfactory, but manufac.
tuners of the Advance thresher had
examined it and purchased the ma
machine, as in their opinion the de-
fects could be easily remedied which
would make it the best machine on
the market. The boys friends hope
this will prove true as it will not
only crown their efforts with success,
but bring them revenue.

Sexton & Geisler lost their new
Advance separator by fire Monday
afternoon while threshing near St.
Kilian. They were threshing out of
the shock when a load of bundles
that was being threshed caught fire,
the two mon on the load getting ex-
cited jumped off, kicking some fire
under the feeder and left the load
standing beside separator. There
being strong wind the machine was
soon enveloped in flames and made
it~impossible to get it out, and was
entirely consumed. It is a bad loss
as the machine had only been run a
few weeks.
