who takes the sacker man off and
tells him confidentalIy that Jim So
and So is giving IS pounds to the
bushel, and that he, the sackerman
could raise himself in his, the farm
er's opinion by following Jim So
Sos example, and then he wants
ten per cent. off at settlement.
Farmers live in houses. The
house is place where the farmer
goes to have his opinion seconded
before tearing down the fence to
let the machine through, even then
he may want the aforesaid machine
to go around to the opposite corner
of the farm to gate and then come
back to to the house, which gener
ally takes from four to six hours.
+ A threshing machine is an in
strument of rotation, vibration and
circulation and is used for separa-
ton. Chose wishing to know more
will please write for information.
A machine is watched by a separa-
tor man.
A separator man is one who is
always near the stacker when any
thing goes through the cylinder
and can never get to the elevator
until it has gone through again,
then he lays the blame on the pitch
err. He is the man for whom the
pitchers must put on and take the
belts while he monkeys with some
thing else, peeping up now and
then to see if the belts are all on.
Suddenly he gets through monkey
ing, gives a signal to go ahead, and
then wonders why the pitchers are
not on the stacks.
A machine is propelled by an en-
CINE. Engines are made of iron and
brass. They have human attach
ment called an engineer. Both are
very greasy, but the attachment is
more so than the attache from the
fact that the engine has grease on
itself all over, while the attachment
has grease all over it's overalls.
A pitcher is an animal of trans
portation, a domestic animal, and is
of the homo geni. They are very
long winded, and can transport
bundles from fourteen to eighteen
hours per day. They sleep very
little and eat less than any animal
known. They generally sleep in
the straw pile, prefering that to the
hay NOW. Some effort has been
made to civilize them but they are
very degenerate and have never
| been known to sleep in house.
Farmers dislike the animals very
much but as they are the surest and
cheapest means of bundle transport
tation they have TO put up with
them. This animal eats very little
the staple articles of food being ba-
con, potatoes and bread. Some
times they drink coffee and tea, but
water is cheaper. They dress some
thing like farmers, only they throw
away their old clothes instead of
patching them. In appearance,
there are some that even appear in
telligent, but that is merely an ap-
pearance. Some of them have been
known to develop an extraordinary
amount of cheek, even demanding
three quarters of days time for
nine and half hours work. They
spend their money, they think that
is what it is made for. The only
utensil they use il transportation
is called a pitchfork. It is of tri-
dent shape and is used because of
the fact that their patron saint is
usually pictured with such an arti-
Gle, though pitchers do not have
horns and tails like the aforesaid
saint. They emigrate about the
first of November hllt reannear tho
following July.
I have been several years in con-
tact with this animal during the
periods of transportation, emigra-
ton and Information, and feel N.Y.
self competent to give information
on any of the subjects I have
touched. SHORTY.
