Gentlemen: As I have been asked to state my experience in doing own my threshing, I can truthfully say that it is the best way I ever threshed. I have a 12-25 Tractor and a Minneapolis, Separator 24-46. As I farm 663 acres I keep four hands and have two boys. During threshing I ran four basket racks. One man took care of the Tractor and Separator, while my 14-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter took care of the grain, also the straw.

I had 200 acres of oats and 40 acres of rye. We threshed from twelve to twenty-five hundred bushels a day, as I have three barns which I filled with straw, putting from twenty-five to forty acres in each one. During the two weeks which it took us to thresh we had no trouble whatever, although we were all inexperienced men with a Separator. My oats averaged fifty bushels per acre and rye fifteen bushels. I have six good reasons why I think it pays to do one's own threshing: First, one can save more grain than with a large a machine; second, the straw can be put where you want it; third, it requires not one-third as many men; fourth, it is easier on the women folks; fifth, you are always at home, and sixth, you have the thresh bill in your own pocket when you are done.
