IMPROVEMENTS IN FLOWING.

Flowing by steam has been the dream of advanced agriculturaiists for years. | and a great deal has been done in that
 way, but there has always been some | hitch or obstacle in the way of making | it compleet success. Either it has been too expensive or has not been easily | manageable or something else has stood in
 the way. but a paragraph in a contem- porary indicates that Kansas man has
 found a successful machine. for which
 he paid 5000. by the way. According
 to the paper already alluded to the
 engine carries gang of eight s1-inch blows. and will get over from thirty to
 thirty-five acres day. at less cost than the work can be done in any other way.
 A practical farmer can easily see what t an immense advantage such a blow will be on the great wheat farms of the West, where sometimes thousands of acres of land has to be prepared for sowing, and where 1t is often of vast benefit to get the ground broken up with the least delay possible. Even on an Alabama farm Of from one hundred acres upsit might and often does mean great deal to have all the land plowed for cotton in few days while the ground Is in good condi- tion. It might mean success where otherwise failure would follow the slow process in ordinary use. ...-.
 But it is on the great wheat farms of the Northwest that such blow as the Kansas man is using will be a success. They put the wheat into the ground with steam drills. and when the grain is ripe it is cut, threshed and sacked by one' immense steam machine, and now if the blowing can be well done In the same expeditions manner the business of wheat-growing will be reduced almost to an exact science.

A LARGE INVESTMENT.
A Large Tract of Southern Pine Fur
chased by Wausau People.

1t is reported that deal was con-
summated in Wausau, on Friday last,
by which 500, OC0, 600 feet of standing
pine, and the land on which the pine is
growing, changed hands. The tract
comprises $4,000 acres, and is located
in the state of Mississippi, near Laurel,
in the counties of Jones and Wayne,
about 80 miles from Mobile, one of the
largest cities in the South. The land
and timber was purchased from Michi-
gan parties by Messrs. j. ID. Ross, c. j
Winton, w. H. Bissell and Jacob Nor
tenson. At Laurel, distance of about
fifteen to twenty miles, are three trunk
lines and there is a railroad laid ont,
and which will be built in the near
future, which touches the western part
of the tract This deal has been in
progress for some time and such able
cruisers as Angus Mcdonald and August
and William Ziebell, of this city, VIM.
Corcoran, of Grand Rapids, and Mr.
Hesse, of Iron River, have been en-
gagged in estimating this timber
The company will, no doubt, put in q
mill and manufacture the timber. Al

years to exhaust the tract, but it is
probable that large plant viii be
erected, but in any event. with the
other timber that will be brought there
to be manufactured, the company VIII
do business there for the next twenty
five or thirty years.
