WINNOWING WITH A BICYCLE.
A South Australian farmer during the harvest has used a 3J-h.p. mo-tor-bicycle to winnow his wheat. It connects with the winnower by a universal shaft, the motor being housed in a trolley, which is easily movable from place to place. When knock-off time comes it is disconnected in about two minutes, and is ridden home. One gallon of petrol cleans 100 bags of wheat, which costs, with oil used, about Jd. pet bag.—"British Australasian." The stream of local patriotism are tributaries running into and feeding the ocean of Imperial sentiment.— The Prime Minister.
