Quick Work.
A loaf of bread has been on exhibition at Mark Lane, which was the result of a record-making experiment at Block!ey, in Worcestershire. At half-past eight one morning Messrs Taylor and Sons, of the Shealhouse Farm, Blockley, started to cut a field of wheat. As fast as the sheaves were cut they were carried to the granary, and there thrashed and winnowed. These operations took 6J minutes. Thence the wheat was taken to the mill of Mr J. H. Painton, and there ground and dressed in minutes. At the adjacent bakehouse the flour was made into dough, and moulded into cakes and loaves. Seven small loaves were taken from the oven at 9 o’clock—3o minutes from the time the wheat was standing uncut. The larger loaves were finished in 40 minutes.
