Boyle "THRESHING” Readers who have followed this column during its four years of exist ence will see it coming . . . another letter on threshing. Sure enough I was driving down the Concession line today and Art Wilkins had his thresh ing outfit parked down by Kelly’s creek taking on water while his tank er filled the tank-wagon. I stopped and got out and talked to Art . . . and smelled that combination thresher smell of machine-oil and dust and grease . . . and now I can think of nothing else. There’s something fascinating about a threshing machine. I suppose in time they will be supplanted bjr com bines, but I feel sorry for the farm boys of that day when there are no more outfits. From one year to. thq next threshing-time is something to be looked forward to eagerly by the farm boy. From the time that the machine turned, out the neighbour’s gate and came "pam-chooing” up the road and then vibrated up the lane-way until it pulled out and into the next neigh bour’s there was a thrill that all the amusement centres in the world can’t equal. There was a special delight in sit ting down on the woodpile, and watching the great belt see-sawing on its way in to give the separator pow er. Sometimes if the engineer was in a kindly mood he would stand guard over you and allow you to saw a few lengths of rails up for fuel for the great puffing engine. How the engin eer’s face would light up when he op ened the fire-box door to fire up! Beads of sweat became golden glob ules on the dark grime of his coun tenance. That (rip with the tanker for water was another thrill. Tank-men never seemed in a hurry. With the hose from the boiler sucking up the tank of w<xtcr winch always stood on tlic ground beside the engine he went away to replenish his horse-drawn tank. Leisurely he would stroke the pump, stopping now and again to re plenish his pipe with tobacco or light up when it went out. On the way back lie would entertain with stories about places where he had been and especially about the times he was tanking in' the West where water holes were scarce. Then would come three little blasts on the whistle of the engine and’ lie would hurry the horses up with a "cluck” of the tongue and a slap on the rump with the end of the lines. But he always managed to get back before there was dire need of water. In the murky depths of the batri you could always see the little whirr ing wheels and slapping belts on the side of the machine . . and see the dark outlines of the men as they toss ed the sheaves around , . and slip into the granary and watch the goldext grain pouring out the spout and fill ing up the bins. The man on the table who caught the sheaves and then flipped them around just so, for the whirling knives to catch and mash up and pull back Into the inner regions of the separator was also a figure to watch. He worked swiftly and ably and steadily and seemed the king-pin of the outfit. • ’ 'f Meals were also the highlight of the day. Each one was a feast, and the threshers never talked much at the table. They just piled into the food and disposed of it in the same way that they disposed of the grain in the barn. Then after the meals they would lie around on the grass and smoke and the younger fellows would play tricks on each other or take delight in kid ding some modest man about a girl until he blushed through the golden dust on his cheeks. All too soon the threshing was end ed. The tank-man by means of a block and tackle would pull the machine out and then leaving it perched on the doorway, hewould ease it out by use of a rope from the rear on a tackle. Some who were better with horsest than others would hitch on and pull the machine out and see-saw on the lines until it was eased out to where the machine could hitch on , , , and then the little pile of wood was thrown up on the platform of the en gine and the tank-man pulled in after the outfit and the threshers would ga out through the front gateway leaving for another year . . . and with a sort of disappointed feeling that it was over. i x * i | ' ; ;»J ’ *'' ’ ' Man, 40, Graduates from High School Arthur W.

In Canada there are several factories for making casein from milk and from casein other firms make but tons, imitation ivory, furniture glue, binder for paints, sizings and many other commodities. One factory buys whole milk, skims, it and makes butter from the creams. The skim milk is used in casein; the lactose, or milk sugar, is used as a supplement in baby foods; the albu men is separated out and being rich in protein and Vitamin C, is used as an animal concentrate. In fact all that is left when this firm is done with milk is water. Rub steel blades of knives with em ery paper before putting away for any length of time and they will not rust.
