e any money they bought more land, so now they own milesof this wonderful country. It is great to see the threshing machines out here. They mow down those wheat heads justas the great machine guns across the sea mow down the armies. Some of these machines are drawnby twenty or thirty horses, and it takes as good a horseman to handle all of those horses as to dochariot races at a circus. One of these threshers comes along through the grain like a great giant,and with its huge claws and arms and feet, it cuts the wheat, threshes it, puts it into bags, andweighs it. > The grain is shipped to some city and stored in enormous elevators until it is sold to the millersto be made into flour. Uncle Silas says that the life of the modern farmer is far from slow.* There is somethingdoing every minute, and when he looks out over those fields of waving wheat and realizes that heis growing enough food there to keep thousands of people happy and healthy, he would not ex-change places with anyone.
