Mr, W. N. Perky, of Knshville, Yates Co., H, T., ,sa5's in 
the Country Gentleman of Ang. 29th, ISGI: “ By the way, we 
are thrashing by steam, using a six-horse portable engine. 
It works to a ciiarm, just the tiling to do a nice job; it does 
the work of ten horsea on a sweep power, and very much 
better.” 
Tlie American Agricultnrist, in editorial notes, on page 
ol7. Sept, nninber, ISGI, says: “Steam Thrashers are a 
prominent feature in Western hnsliandry. Tlie horse ttirash- 
ers are still in use, hut arc as certainly doomed as tlic seytlie 
or tlie liand rake. They are altogether too slow for this age 
The steam thrasher is mounted upon wheels, and is draivn 
bv lioises fi-oni place to place, as it is wanted. The great ad¬ 
vantage of tlie steam thrasiier is that it puts the wheat har¬ 
vest so much into the power of the farmer. As a rule, wheat 
stands in the sliock until it is tlirashed, and tlie first good 
woatlier is availed of to clean tlie crop, and send it to mar¬ 
ket.”
