Improved Attachment For
Threshing Machine.
Does Away With Many Hands
Makes Threshing Easy.
Squire W. F. Coleman Is Sole Agent
For Big Territory.

The threshing machine in general
use among the farmers has been
greatly improved upon recently.
A DEMOCRAT reporter while driv-
ing east of Ghent, Bath township,
this week, came upon a group of
thresbers, and was greatly surprised
to see the straw being stacked by an
apparatus managed by one man. 1t
is called the Wind Stacker. and does
the work of four men. Moreover, it
it is claimed that it stacks the straw
much better than can be done by
hand.
But the most surprising item i'll
the equipment was that the feeding
and band cutting was also done auto
matically.
A National Feeder and Band Gut
ter is attached to the threshing ma
chine. This is a valuable and use
full improvement to the machine.
The services of several men are
saved by this device, as no hands
are needed to cut the bands or feed
the machine. All that has to
be done is to put the sheaves into the
feeder and it does the rest. The
bands are cut and the sheaves fed to
the machine with great rapidity. 1t
keeps two men busy pitching the
sheaves. They are tossed into the
feeder from both sides.
The only National Feeder that has
yet been introduced into Summit
county is owned by Colvenus Sny-
der, who has resided in Ghent for %
years. He has had the feeder since
July IL, and pronounces it a COM
plete success. He says that with the
fcctler ho-ean thresh Il FsusiIel- OF
wheat in from 40 to 90 seconds,
averaging that amount for a day. On
a test he threshed 26 bushels
of oats in ten minutes.
AS an example of the machines
work he told what he had done for
VIM. Shumaker, at Hawkins Sta
ton. In two hours and quarter he
turned out sos bushels of oats. Oats,
however, can be threshed from 21h to
81 times as fast as wheat.
A. Mcfarland, a life time resident
of Ghent, and who is considered one
of the best farmers IN that vicinity,
in speaking of the merits of the
Feeder, said: II think it is sue
cess and has come to stay. The ma
chine saves five hands for the farm
er; four men on the stack and one
band cutter and one feeder. The |
stacking is done in much better
style and makes better stack thea
men can make. The feeder works |
fine and the work is done much fast
er than by the old way of feeding by
hand. 1t is impossible for a man to
put as much grain through the ma
chine by hand as can be done by the
FEEDER"
The National Feeder was sold to
Mr.. Snyder by Squire w. F.
Coleman of Wooster av., the COM
pany's sole agent for Eastern Ohio |
and Pennsylvania, who is one of the |
pest known agricultural implement
,alesmen in Northern Ohio. Next
year Squire Coleman will handle
5hese machines and expects to do a
business, as it is sure to
.evolutionize the threshing business.
Squire Coleman. also handles the
National blower, manufactured by
he same firm.
The LigOnier, Ind, Banner speaks
very highly of National Blower
ind Feeder which have just been in
reduced into it's county.
Hundreds of the machines are be-
ng put in use throughout the

REUNION
OF the Ritchie Family Held Near
Peninsula.

The fifth annual reunion of the
Ritchie family was held August Is,
at the residence of VIM. Ritchie,
near Peninsula. The day was all
that could be desired. Representa-
tives from Cleveland, Akron, Tall
madge, Stow, Boston and Mortified,
to the number of about 30. besides in
vited guests were present. Among
the latter were Mrs. Alexander Nc
Connell and daughter, Hettie, of
NorthfieId; Miss Sarah Mcconnell,
of Northfield; Mrs. Corlett, of Cleve-
land; Mr.. Claire Murray, of Akron.
A sumptuous table was spread un-
der the grateful shade of orchard
trees.
The only regrets were that there
were not more dear friends to enjoy
the abundance of the delicious and
delicate repast.
After dinner, croquet, base ball,
quoits, ETC., were enjoyed, and some
expert playing seemed to be in pro-
cess of development, to say no more.
Just how long it wonld have taken
to fully develop it, however, your
correspondent is unable to say.
But when it came to washing the
dishes. it was found that there had
been more practice, and the fair sis
ters showed that this was a game
they were skillful in.
MIR. J. ID. Ritchie and family, of
took their recreation with a
good grace. Mr.. Richie now occu-
pies his new grocery store, 1850 South
Main st. His brother, J. H. Ritchie,
will be with him.

A Mother Tells How She Saved Her Little
Dauqhter's Life.

/ am the mother of eight children
and have had great deal of exper-
ience with medicines. Last summer
my little daughter had the dysentery
in its worst form. We thought she
would die. 1 tried everything 1 could
think of, but nothing seemed to do
her any good. I saw by an adver-
tisement in our paper that Chamber
lain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy was highly recommended
and sent and got bottle at once. 1t
proved to be one of the very best
medicines we ever had in the house.
It saved my little daughters life. 1
am anxious for every mother to know
what an excellent medicine it is.
Had known it at first it would have
saved me a great deal of anxiety and
my little daughter much suffering.

CALL FOR MoaE TROOPS.
Ten Thousand Mounted Infantry to
Be Sent to South Africa.

London, Dec. 20.-The government
has at last consented to mobilize a
force which General Butler is credited
with having demanded all along as es-
sential Ito success in South Africa,
namely 10000 mounted infantry. This
morning the II office issued an order
to the effect that the government had
decided to raise for South Africa a
mounted infantry force to be called
Imperial Yeomanry,'' and to be re-
cruited from yeomanry volunteers and
civilians possessing the requisite
qualifications. Enlistment will be for
one year, or during the continuance of
the war. The men must be between 20
and 35 years of age and of equal ply
sique to the ordinary cavalry soldier
Officers and men are to provide their
own horses and to wear neutral tint
cloth shooting jackets, not necessarily
uniform, felt hats. breeches and gait
ers. All must be good riders and marks
men.
The same order invites every volun-
teer regiment that is linked with a
regular battalion serving at the front
to supply a full company which will
take the place of the mounted infantry
of the regiment.
These arrangements are expected to
result in a considerable force. The en-
rolled strength of the Yeomanry forces,
which originate in the troublesome pc
RODS of the French revolution is now
10,433. Their services have never before
been called for in war.
Special reports regarding the fighting
at the Tugela river are still filtering
through but all the newspapers COM
plain that these are severely censored,
and it is still impossible to get any ac-
curate idea of the battle. From the
latest accounts, however. it appears
that General Butler was in active COM

The report that the president may
