Show WW THE FARMERS FRIEND labor saying agricultural machinery clil nery the harvest is over the small grain is in the stacks stac ksir next cornea comes tho the threshing and we may observe that bat among the interesting episodes in fit the history of utah granger life therease there ther eare arc but few more so than that of threshing our early agrical jurists will well remember that after the tile crops of email small grain were reaped they suffered much anxiety in regard to the threshing and getting it stored away away in the granary the rude implement used for the purpose of beating out the kernels of wheat in those times was THE FLAIL often improvised out of a couple of stout willows tied at the ends with thongs made of buckskin tho tile process process was very tedious and the abr labor fatiguing to the flail succeeded the jumper or roller made out of a huge log of timber to which was hitched a yoke of oxen this was a labor saving sa vin g machine to tho the farmer and enabled al ed him to get through that part of his work more expeditiously then came chaff that would run a stack of grain through in a hurry but when hat that part of the business was accomplished the next anxious inquiry inquiry was where and when could the farmer obtain a FANNING MILL to cacan up and separate the grain rom the chaff oftentimes the began to fall before this could be je done and much loss was in course of time those obviated by the intro luction of separators worked by b y borse power this machine threshed md and cleaned the wheat at the same this is an age of steam power is is considered too slow and the agriculturist is beginning to steam power to expedite his operations on his ranch TRA TRACTION rion STEAM ENGINES one now nov introduced in this terri ory for the lie

purchased a few ays since by gy bishop F A hall mond of huntsville from B 11 II W on monday the steam was up a vibrator threshing mahine hine attached to it the engine put in motion and TAKEN THROUGH OGDEN CANYON to ogden valley it attracted great attention and elicited much admiration admiration as it move moved majestically along through main street and it was astonishing to see with what ease and safety it climbed to the summit and slid descended the hills through the rough canyon road llie tile weight eight of the machine behind it was of small moment the engine is very tractable and no difficulty whatever no is experienced in in manipulating it it ia is easily guided and can be turned in any ady direction as short and as quick as can a wheelbarrow A small boy can doit do it ahn ii the macalino machine ma cilino entered huntsville decked with stars and stripes it received A ROYAL WELCOME by the citizens being the first they lad feben in motion As it ino moved ved steadily along without any apparent means of propulsion another thresher was being taken to the valley propelled by horse power the contrast between the ease with which ono one was move moved dand and the hard labor with which the other was drawn drawl was very marked we anticipate that before before many years hence these laborsaving labor saving machines will be introduced into every part of the territory OH
