MAN-THRESHlNC MACHINES.
The Modern Method Of Getting Out
the Grain Leaves Unpleasant
Impressions.

Some years ago saw in an EngllsI
journal a picture OF horse treadmli
ENGAGED in threshing. and beneath l
was the device: primitive Methoa o
Threshing Still in Use in the Sicily ISL
auds." AS it was the same metho'
which we had always practiced wa
filed with mixed shame and resent
ment and shame, writes Ernest Crosby
In the Craftsman.
II was therefore with feelings o
complacency that l received the sug
gestiou that this year we thresn ou'
oats by steam. The machinery arrived
In two or three ponderous wagons, like
q circus procession, and was duly In
stalled. Two men came with it. one tf
run the engine and the other to feec
the oats into the machine, but 1t re-
quired a small army OF local talent &c
bring the oats down from the bays Of
the barn and to carry away the baskets
of oats and the heaps of straw and OF
chaff which piled up with miraculous
rapidity.
Rr-r-r-r-rrrr! what hideous. noisy
filthy machine! One of the pleasures
of teamwork is that you can talk as
much as you like, but the din OF this
engine made conversation Impossible
and gave you headache We are
rather proud of our barn and consider
it a substantial ediice, for 1t is built OF
stone and measures $50 feet BY 30, but
this Internal machinery shook 1t from
top to bottom like an aspen leaf.
teamwork Is generally clean, but
you never know how much dirt there
is in a ton of oat straw until you thresh
1t out by steam. A little bit OF smut
makes the air black and you begin to
wonder if any soil was left in the field.
In a short time the men look like coal
beavers, their eyes turn red, their
threats raw and there Is more or less
coughing.
Horses are sometimes sensible anil
mails. We brought out the refractory
ones and led them up as near as we
could to the engine, In order that they
might get acquainted with ii, but they
absolutely refused to cultivate friendly
relations and every nerve in their
bodies protested against the transform
alton Of barn into a steam factory.
And we had little taste of the bad
vesults of factory work on the workers,
too
Our men are a strong, strapping lot,
but they had to work much too fast to
fead the black brute, and the pace that
kills." of which we are all so proud,
was too much for them, and so was the
horrid noise and dust. We threshed
Tor "thrashed." as the native dialect
has IT. for three days. but when it was
all over, on the fourth day, the men
looked as if they had been thrashed
instead Of the oats and three were ac-
tually invalided. and the full force did
not report again for duty for two or
three days.
But apart from these highly practical
results of steam farming, 1t was the ug-
Illness of it which impressed me. Ugh!
The memory of 1t has half snoiled the
barn. 1t is as If we had called the evil
one from Sheol to do our work and had
somehow sold our souls in the bargain
From the bottom of my soul hate ma

Cotton Picking We'll Advanced.

The weather bureaus review Oh
crop conditions in Mississippi, Is
sued last week, says:
The mean temperature for the week
was from 4 to degrees above nor
NAL. Fair weather with much sun
shine prevailed, except that there
we're light scattered showers over the
northern counties.
Conditions have been very favorao'
BILE for cotton picking. which Is gem
orally progressing rapidly. although
scarcity of labor Is reported from
many localities. Cotton on hill lands
Is nearly all open and picking is well
advanced, especially over the eastern
and southern portions Of the state
where from one.hall to three-fourths
of the crop has been gathered. On low
lands bolls continue to open fast, some
Erematurely, and picking Is peing
rushed. There has been little change
III the yield outlook, the crop in some
sections being better than last year
while in others 1t is not quite 80
good.
The pea crop Is generally good ex'
cept In the southwestern countess
where it is only fair. Sugar cane is
maturing nicely and sweet potatoes
continue to yield well. A good crop
of corn Is being housed. Tnrnips'
gardens and pastures are suffering Tor
rain and stock water Is becoming
very scarce.

Disease That Puzzled Husband.

Health Commissioner Bosley was

are immune from germs of infections

sponsible in some cases, he said, and
in others the idosyncracies of their
natures.

Delta Experiment Station.

Several counties in the delta will
submit liattering propositions to the
board of trustees of the Mississippi
Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege, when that body meets to select
d site for the new branch agrlcui-
tural experiment station authorized
for that section of the State.
The board will probably convene
during the latter part of November,
at which time committee will be
appointed to receive propositions,
visit the sites offered and make re-
port on same TO another meeting OF
the board, which is likely to be set
for some time in January.
1t is learned that Yazoo, Sunilow-
er, Bolivar and Washington coun-
ties are very anxious TO secure the
experiment station, realizing It's I'M
portance ms a factor in the develop
mant Of an agricultural country,
and the value of experiments with
various soils, and the planters will
arrange some very tlattering offers,
Notwithstanding the fact that delta
lands are now commanding fancy
prices.
The law providing for the cstab-
lishment of the delta station requires
that the donation shall not be less
than 200 acres, and a tract Of this
size in the delta is worth q snug lit
tie sum when lands are selling at
800 per acre. The law contem-
plates the donation of wild lands,
however, which can be obtained for
q much smaller sum.
The legislature made an appro-
priation Of only $4,000 for the sup
port of the delta station during the
year 1905, which is wholly made
quate in view of the large amount of
work necessary to yet a new farm in
Shape, but it is likely that the coun-
ties will also make liberal cash do
nations with their offers, which will
aid materially in getting the work
under way.
