I have threshed nearly all my life. When I was a boy my father
owned two horsepower threshing outfits and I did drive the horses
on the power on many occasions.

In the year 1902, my father purchased his first new steam
outfit, a Case 15 hp and a 32 in. cyl Case wooden separator, self
feeder, straw blower and weighter.
