who were sent against him. He was
whole exhibition in himself.
1--WE seen Bill Whitley racing his
horses through the grain and leaning
over with his long arms to pick tho
mice's nests from Just In front of the
knife" said an old Ohio settler.
The feat that first made Whiteley IA
nous was performed ut Jamestowri.
O., in 1867. His competitor was doing
as good work as he was, whereupon he
sprang from his seat, unhitclied one
horse and finished his course with a
Jingle surprised. steed pulling the heavy
machine.
His competitor followed suit and suc-
ceeded fully as well.
This enraged Whitley, who at that
time was as powerful as a young Her
cules.
Il can pull that reaper myself" he
shouted, turning his second horse loose
and yoking his big shoulders into the
harness.
Such Il thing had never been done be-
fore and has never been done since.
but 1t is true that in the passion of the
moment Whitley was flied with suct,|
strength that he ran the reaper from
one side of the field to the other, cut

done it in ancient Greece, would have|

prOwess and at once proposed that they
should quit fighting and work in har-
mony.
'+Give me the right to make your
reaper. and I'll pay you IS apiece for

Its bargain" responded Whitefey.
And SO there arose the first consolida.
ton in the harvester business.
