With this coloured slide we come to harvest time. The grain has turned under the summer sun to a beautiful golden brown, and has been cut and set in these stooks, where it is drying in the hot August weather. Presently it will be taken away in wagons, drawn by horses, and stacked. Do you see on the ground the straight lines of stubble due to the fact that the seed from which the corn grew was cast into the straight furrows made by the plough? In this slide the last sheaves of the harvest are being gathered in. There will be much rejoicing in the village to-night because the harvest has been safely got, and rain storms have caused it no harm during the critical days after it had been cut, when it stood drying in the sun. [Sidenote: 33. Reaping Machine.] The first farm machinery introduced in modern times was worked by horses not by steam engines. For example, in this slide we have a horse-drawn reaping machine employed to cut down corn, thus saving the hand-work of many men. [Sidenote: 34. Thrashing Machine.] Here is a thrashing machine driven by a steam engine. The corn is placed on the top of the machine where stand the two men; it is caught into the running parts of the machine which are driven by the engine to the right hand; it is beaten in the machine so that the grain falls from the straw into the bags which you see, while the straw is lifted by the elevator on to the stack to the left hand, there to remain until required for the bedding of horses. [Sidenote: 35. Cows.] [Sidenote: 36. Cattle chewing Cud.] Besides tilling the ground for the growth of corn, the farmers of Britain keep many millions of cattle and sheep which feed upon grass. Here is an ordinary country scene with cows, which are kept for the sake of their milk. One of the chief foods in these northern countries is the milk of cows, and the butter and cheese prepared from milk. These cows live upon the grass, which is kept green by the moist climate. Here we have cattle lying down chewing the cud. [Sidenote: 37. Cattle Market, Faringdon.] Next is a scene on a market day in a small country town. It is a fair to which the farmers have brought in their cattle for sale. [Sidenote: 38. Sheep.] [Sidenote: 39. Sheep with Shepherd and Dog.] [Sidenote: 40. Sheep Dog.] [Sidenote: 41. Sheep Market: Chipping Campden.] The most numerous animals on British farms are the sheep. This is a fortunate fact, for wool is the most suitable material from which to manufacture the warm clothing needed during the northern winter. Here is a flock of sheep grazing. And here is another flock with the shepherd who tends them, and his dog. Sheep-dogs are usually of the kind known as Collies.
