Mr. McClain harvested a con-1
sidorable portion of his corn crop 1
with a machine harvester, which j
cuts tho stalks off close to the j
ground and throws them out in
bundled, about a dozen stalks to,
the bundle. The macbiue is drawn
by two mulep and operated by
two men,does about a dozen men's
work. Owing to the great value
of time this year, however, much
ef the crop was harvested by

There has boon brains
