CHANGED THE BRAND.
DOyon's New Threshing Machine
Wouldn't Work on ".Alky.e

Charles Doyon, the bonanza farmer.
merchant, banker and few other
things, purchased new threshing en-
CINE this fall. 1t gave two experts
considerable trouble for several days
the first part of the week, and in con-
sequence threshing operations were
delayed on the Doyon farm. Chris
Gordon of Devils Lake was sent for
and after trying two days to make the
engine run, gave up in despair. Doyon
then telegraphed for an expert from
Minneapolis who arrived promptly and
continued the investigation. The
trouble was in the boilersnot making
steam sufficient to keep the engine go
ing more than half an hour at time.
The Minneapolis expert could not dis
cover the cause, and Doyon was about
to destroy the whole threshing outfit
when Mr.. Gorder suggested that as n
last resort they try we'll water instead
of that being used from the slough
This was done, and the trouble was
Immediately obviated. The theory is
that the slough water had stood so
long it was composed largely of vege-
table matter and was too light to make
steam.

WANTED HIS MAMA!
Husky Thresher Lasted Short Time In
the Work Field,

A few days ago a young farmer
came up out of "Mizzoury" to help
through the thrashing season.
A local newspaper sized him up as
follows:
He was lucky fellow, big enough
to earn his three dollars per day in
the field. In short time the home
fever nabbed this tender hearted giant
and he grew SO eager for the dear old
farm that he could not bear to wait
until he armed his carfare; he tele-
graphed to mother for the money.
When 1t came he left his team in the
field and fastened homeward.
A strange thing Is that feeling called
home-sickness, and never are the
pangs Of the malady SO keenly felt as
in the stin days of autumn. Perhaps
this is because the human animal be-
gins to feel sub-consciously the ap-
prOach of chill winter and recall the
cozy cheer of fathers fireside as it
was in the old years. Old family diff
fernces and hardships fade before the
glow of this mental picture and the
wanderer thinks that If he were only
back home, ut wouldn't make no diff
ference what anybody said" 1t is a
disease that affects some worse than
others, but no one is immune.

SpontancOus Combustion.

The origin of the fire at the Bacon
farm yesterday is thought to have been
from spontaneous combustion as it
was discovered in the loft of the horse
barn which was full of hay at the
time. DR.. Taylor. who was driving out
that way, noticed thin spire of smoke
emenating from the cupola of the barn
and the blaze was about the baseof the
cupola. He drove to the broom factory
at once and turned in the alarm.
