Steam Power TO Harvester.

Something novel was seen In
wheat field near Greencastle
on Friday when steam power was
used to pull the harvester.
John Diller, who is tenant on
the old I'm mel farm, was the pro.
gressive farmer who was among
the first if not the first, to use
this power in Franklin county.
The new method proved very
successful and did it's work we'll.
The reason gwen tor using the
steam engine in drawing the
nder is due to the fact that the
horses owned by Mr.. Dlller are
sick and unable to do the work.
