"Ore ttvt r ar.d it't ftll over in ti
Try pt slopan recentjy kdpoted by
ih In-national Harvester Company
of America to apply to th operation
of it'p Harvester-Thresher. To the
(Train farmer, particularly to the
prover of wheat and hit wife as welJ,
xh'tt slogan i f u i 1 of meaning. When
they harvest their (rrnin in the Onee
orer and its ail over way, they save
p"ry, ijthor a: d ;ime.
The Harvester Campany. whose
Hr;,pner s(rnt5 are Gi!ham A Bisbee.
was a pioneer In the development of
the liM-wr ipht harvester-thresher,
which :i row to prevalent and which
it p aced on the market in this coun
try in Wlh. These first machines were
ho:-re-dnven and the power for oper
attrjr ti.e eu:tinp and threshing me
rhaimm was obtained from the bu!l
whee) - hence the term pro un d-d riven.
A noUb'e improvement brought about
since that time is the positive drive
provided for the cutting and thresh
ing1 mechanism by a four cylinder
p-asoline motor mounted on the ma
chine. The harvester-thresher proved its
efficiency during the recent lean years
following the war and made it possi
ble, because of its economy of opera
tion, for many a grain grower to make
a profit where otherwise he would
have had to sustain a loss. For ex
ample, it reduces cost of threshing,
greatly reduces labor costs that ob
tain when grain is cut and threshed
separately, reduces number of horses,
wagons and other equipment required
reduces number of men to be fed and
thereby lessens work done by the wo
men, gets grain ready for market
when best prices can usually be ob
tained, makes early fall plowing pos
sible, enables the farmer easily to
become indepnedent in bis work.
The Harvester Company now an
nounces the McCormick-Deering Hill
side Harvester-Thresher. It is equip
ped with a leveling device to keep the
body of the thresher level when cut
ting grain on side hills. This device
makes a perfect leveling both length
wise and side wise and the machine
will level on a hillside up to 65 de
grees grade. It is made for this sec
tion of the country in the 12-ft. size.
The grain is delivered, into sacks by
means of the bagging attachment
which is furnished as regular equip
ment with the machine. When horses
are used to pull the machine, the
driver can usually make the adjust
ment so that two men as a rule can
handle the outfit, one man bein re
quired to handle and sew the sacks.
When sacked, the men and teams haul
the grain to the warehouse. The
work may be reduced, for frequently
the sacks are not hauled away untli
the cutting of an entire field is com
pleted. The frame of the McCormick-Deering
Harvester-Thresher is construct
ed entirely of steel. The sides of the
machine are also of sheet steel, firm
ly riveted to an angle frame so that
the depreciation from ordinary causes
such as wear and tear of rough fields
and exposure to the weather is slight.
The body of the machine rests entire
ly upon one main axle of exceptional
strength. Generous use of roller bear
ings makes the machine exceptionally
light m daft considering its weight
and the amount of work it has to ac
complish. The leveling device is arranged so
that the power of the engine wiil shift
the machine and keep the threshing
mechanism level on side hills. The
operator need only move a lever which
operates a clutch and tilts the body
of the machine to right or left as may
be necessary. The cylinder is equip
ped with large ball bearings instead
of plain bearings as in most thresh
ers. These bearings are self-aligning,
enclosed in dust-tight eases.
They require on!y occasional oiling.
The Belf-aligning feature is carried
out in all other bearings on the ma
chine. Both main wheels are equip
ped with powerful hand brakes oper
ated from the driver's platform. These
brakes will lock the wheels on any
grade.
The concaves are provided with per
forations between the teeth and be
tween the sections. There are also
grates following the concaves under
neath the main beater. In all there
are five square feet of grate surface.
It is a well-known fact that about
M per cent of the separation in a
thresher takes place at the grates.
The separating mechanism is of a
novel type, the straw carrier being
8-ft. 6 inches long and 44 inches
wide. In the travel of the straw over
the straw carrier it encounters two
dropp. The straw is retarded by
pickers and accelerated and picked
apart by beaters. It is also subject
ed to blast of air from a fan at the
firfct drop. The thoroughness of sep
aration done by this machine cannot
be approached by any other type of
separator.
The harvester-thresher is the most
efficient labor and money saving ma
chine in existence and farmera in
thoe territories where grain ripens
on the stock and may be cut and har
vested the combine way, who oper
ate harvester-threshers, are reducing
one of their biggest production coBt
items to a minimum.

way and concrete bridge and went
through the Lexington Garage just
berond as though the building had
not bene there. That more buildings
were not wrecked ia perhapt due to
the fact that the watera were divided
above the Venturi Garage and direct
ed town the principal street. It is
stated that the water stood at least
four feet in the Barnard filling sta
tion, and the streets are filled with
mud to the depth of a foot or more.
There was general heavy rains all
over the county on Wednesday, and
reports of spouts come in from sev

damage ia reported. At the Alex
Green place on Eight Mile the rain
was heavy; in fact. Fox canyon was
pretty well filled. Mrs. Green phonjd

and the premises and barnyard were
badly flooded. Another spout is ro
ported from the vicinity of the Bob
Thompson place up Balm Fork, and
the rains were heavy from the Hen

causing Willow creek to rise rapidly,
but it did not get out of the banks.
In a number of places between Oral

way is covered with mud and rock,
but this will soon be cleared.

Japan's Prince Regent, Hint Hire,
tells the empire that his whfe expects
an heir. The Princess cancels all
engagements. She will devote her
time, before and after, to that new
little "son-or daughter of Heaven,"
and will think herself well rewarded
for all her care when the baby smiles
at her. No one will persuade her
that "in justice to your own health,
and looks, my dear, you must nt
THINK of nursing the baby." And
she won't be smoking cigarettes In
bed three days after it ia born.
In Japan if you raise your hand to
a little child, frowning, and threat
ening, the child will laugh, knowing
that you pretend. No one there ever
strikes a child. That's one ret ion
why the Japanese fight ao well, when
they do fight. The Japanese spirit
