Another Business Change.

A brief notice elsewhere of the dis
solution OF co partnership between N.
b. Wheeler G. A. Marshall Jr.,
conveys the information that after 30
years Of activity in Cresco business
circles and especially in the
manufacture of brick and tile,
Mr.. Wheeler is tol retire and eu-
Joy the fruits OF his industry and
thrift. During all this time, the busi-
ness relations Of the PLAIN DEALER
with Mr.. Wheeler have always been
pleasant, and the regret that such re.
lations are ended is tempered only
by the knowledge that our past ac-
tquaintance with his successor promis-
es continuance OF such business
favors. Mr.. Marshall has virtually
had charge of the plant for the past
three years and isIcompetent to carry
on the work and has the energy nec-
essary to make 1T a success.

Practical Invention for Farmers,

g. w. Hollister, one of Howard
County's Oldest and best farmers, who
has been actively engaged in farming
for fifty years and knows the needs Of
farmers, has seen the need of and
invented machine which he calls the
combined Corn Shocker," q device
which CONT bines ease and economy in
the work, and also leaves the shock
open at the bottom for thorough
ventilation, thereby keeping the corn
free from must and in the best of con.
dition for shredding and also prevent.
ing the working of gophers and mice
in the shock.
When set for shocking, the machine
stands 81 feet high with an arm on
each side projecting 16 inches at right
angles, which holds the bundles In
place so that one can shock faster and
better than he can without some
support, and also enables one to shock
alone in wind which would prevent
shocking without this machine. By
an ingenious device OF Mr.. HOLSTERS,
the shock is easily bound and tied by
one man, after which the machine is
easily removed by drawing in the pro-
jecting arms by means of lever and
a slight pull of the machine which
drops a swinging leg on the front of
the machine, leaving a space clear
through the shock about 16 inches
wide and the height of the machine,
giving free access to the air to thor
oughly dry the corn and fodder, 8
thing impossible when shocked close
in the old way. The weight Of the
machine is slight anS permits of Its
being easily and quickly moved about
the field, and can be taken from the
shock and set for another shock in one
minute.
We have seen the machine and
witnessed Mr.. Hollister use it and it
seems to US to be practical and what
every farmer who cuts corn needs,
and this opinion is shared by large
number of old and practical farmers
who have seen the working of the
machine.
Mr.. Hollister will take out patents
on the machine and manufacture it
for sale, and any representations he
may make in regard to the machine
may be implicitly relied upon.
