WHEAT THREsHING:
PAST AND PRESENT

Those of our neighbors who are
fortunate enough to raise any wheat
or oats in this part Of the county
have been having it threshed the last
few days. MI. Ode Smith, Of Holly
Grove was the thresherman. He has
an up-to-date machine, run by 20
horsepower tractor and can easily
thresh 1000 bushels in a day, The
greater part Of the work. or all that
can possibly be done, is handled by
machinery.
AS we stood by and watched this
machine at work we called TO mind
the old-time threshers 40 to 30 years
ago, and the more improved ma
chimes still later, commonly called
separators, mounted on trucks, run
by lever power and from six to
aight horses instead of the tractor.
The machine was fed by hand, with
one or two men to cut binds on the
sheaves, so the feeder could shove
the grain into the open mouth of
he machine. But now, this up-to-
date thresher has self-feeder,
which keeps two good hands busy
throwing the united sheaves into the
revolving mouth, turning out the gol-
den grain at the rate Of more than
bushel a minute.
In this up-to-date machine the
straw and chaff is carried by a
blower-pipe, or stacker, any direct
ion or height desired whereas the
old wav, the straw and chaff had to
be forked up by two or three good
men. And the old machine could
Dnlv fhresh out from 200 to 800
bushels a day.
