II has been pointed out In these
columns that much loss Is each year
incurred by farmers from having 10

the shock while waiting the arrival
Of the threshlng outfit. which Is too
busy TO promptly take care OF all OF
the work desired 20 be- done. Thresh.
ers are increasing In number in each
community. but as two-thirds OF the
farmers in many districts prefer TO
thresh from the shock and could not
otherwise dispose OF their grain crop.
many more machines are needed and
should be furnished In order TO put a
stop 10 the serious loss or damage OF
grain. In Great Britain almost with.
out exception the farms have indivld.
ual threshing mills most OF which are
run by water power. which necessi-
tates having dams or ponds. Where
modern buildings have recently been
built steam power runs the thresher.
which is a fixture In a special build.
Ing. says the Farmers Review.
with us small threshers might be
run by electric power where trolley
lines pass near the farm. or by the
old-fashioned horse power or even a
steam engine. where the farm is large
These things will come some day.
Meanwhile IL would seem to be a good
plan for farmers to band together In
community Tor the purchase OF a
threshing OUTFIT OF sufficient capacity
10 do the work required. and then
each season stack the grain on each
farm and tL-esh with the company
machine just when most convenient
or profitable.
A company machine could not well
