WHEAT AS 1T
STANDS IN THE FIELD
From Popular Mechanics.

From Popular Mechanics.
When harvest arrives in Kansas it
is time for a progressive farmer to
get his small grain into sacks with
all possible speed or be ready to put
some ugly figures on the wrong side
of the ledger. Big crops require
many farm hands at harvest time,
and these are getting scarcer every
year. This situation has given a
young Kansan an idea which is get
ting considerable attention among
the wheat growers. He has invented
a machine to thresh the grain as it
stands in the field. He claims that
one man and four horses can do the
work of a whole threshing crew.
This thresher is set on a truck in
such a manner that it can be raised
and lowered at will. A 25-hoTse pow
er gas engine operates the mechan-
ism. AS the thresher moves along
heads of grain are blown against
cylinder set with 4-inch teeth. This
rotating cylinder lops off the heads
and losses them back into cavity.
From this the grain is carried up on
worm to the Refreshing cylinder,
which rotates at greatly increased
speed Having been threshed the
grain is carried up perpendicular
tube called a cleaner and passes
through q strong current of air from
a blower. Here all chaff and dust
is finally disposed of, and the grain
falls through another chute into the
sack or wagon.
With the exception of the truck
and the gas engine the machine con-
tains but eight moving parts and all
these rotate The current from the
blower is said to be strong enough to
pick up fallen grain in the field, but
a finger is provided for this purpose
if desired After the threshing the
farmer need not remove the straw
before blowing He starts his plows
to work when he is ready and plows
the standing straw under.

MIXED JURIEs IN KANSAS.

From the Macon Telegraph.
The active suffra gettes of Kansas,
now woman suffrage state, exult in
the certain prospect of seeing all
the names of women taxpayers plac-
ed in the jury lists the first of next
year. but Kansas court officials and
lawyers are reported to be concern
ed as to the solution of the new prob
lem in certain cases.
They foresee that with a mixed
jury in a hard fought case it may be
necessary to lock men and women up
together over night. Apparently the
only solution is to pass bill provid-
ing that there shall be no mixed jul
ries, and only juries made up en-
tirely of men or entirely OF wo-
men.
To this, however, some of the suf-
fragettes are likely to object, the
burden of their demand having long
been that they shall be treated I'M
der all circumstances exactly as men
are treated. Should such an objec-
ton block the passage of the bill
suggested it may be found advisable
to permit each lady juror to take an
elderly chaperone with her to the
lookup and to station these in a
formidable line across the middle of
the room while the male jurors camp
in one and the female in the other
end of the apartment.
Here again some of the suffra-
gettes may object, contending that,
once fortified by the magic ballot, a
woman can take care of herself I'M
der any circumstances IN chat case
the conservative and sensitive male
creatures concerned must acknowl-
edge their heIplessness and agree
that there is nothing more to be said
or done.

A PROSPEROUS YEAR FOR BANKS


Pointing out that this has been the
most prosperous year in the history
of the banks of this country, the an
nual report of Lawrence o. Murray,
comptroller of the currency, showed
the assets of %, 1875 banks whose con-
dition has been tabulated as $25,-
100000, an increase of $780,
900, 900 over last year The capital
of the financial institutions amounts
to approximately 5000, 100000, an
increase of $685. 100000
The report notes that the national
banks and the commercial banks are
competing to a certain extent with
the savings banks for savings ac-
counts, though there is no segrega-
ton of these accounts from others
which will show the extent of the in
crease in deposits of this character.
The total of deposits in all banks is
$6,496,192,707.

1t is estimated that more than
$50 Americans have been killed and
millions of American-owned property
destroyed in Mexico during the anti
Madero rebellions Since the pres
ent government has its hands full
defending itself and needs all its
money for that purpose it probably
will be a long time before indemnity
is paid for these outrages, if ever.
1t seems certain that the end of the
murders and destruction of property
where Americans are victims has not
yet been reached. There doesn't
seem at hand any remedy for the
situation.
