resident of the prairie has invented a machine,
which, he lets out at S per acre, which cuts the
grain, thrashes it, cleans it, and puts it in bag

of cattle, or as many pair of horses,.-rcquires
the attendance of or 1O-men. and finishes from
90 to IS acres day The cattle are beside the
machine, and urge it onward AS it proceeds it
cuts the grain near the head-lhe straw being. of
little OF no value here. This is rapidly passed
through the other processes and is turned out into
sort of hopper behind. from which it passes into
bag-that, as fast as filed IS carried to wagons
in attendance and replaced BY others; so that
wheat standing in the morning may be -four be-

by machines, worked by horses fIii being
scarcely ever used
