growing has been done, but before very long the supply of locally 

 grown ch;ilT will in all probability be up to the demand, and then 

 the grain grower will have the market to supply. There are also 

 combined harvesters made, which strip, clean, and bag the grain, 

 the bags being filled and sewn up ready for market. But these 

 implements are best suited to very large paddocks, and are only 

 within the reach of the farmer on a very large scale. An illustration 

 is given herewith ot a header which may be used conveniently by 

 the small-area man for separating the grain from the straw after it 

 has been reaped. 



After the grain has been stripped it is winnowed and bagged 

 and is ready for market. An illustration of a winnower is given.

Wide winnowers with plenty of middle space, should be used, 

 and large machines are generally to be recommended. There is 

 much saving of labor in using large portable winnowers capable of 

 cleaning after several strippers. Horse power should be used 

 wherever possible.
