Roller. That was for rolling the ground after the field were sown, to make them smooth. And minder, for cutting the grown. Mower, for mowing the hay. Horse (inc). Of course now there would be the- what they called the reaper, that came in before the- that was before the minder.

When I was a boy working on the farm we cradled all the grain by hand, ah, the women- usually the women, ah, raked it up and tied it by hand and- into sheaves. Stook it up. Now, of course, they have- then next come the reaper. Ah, they just cut- cut it and laid it in bundles but they didn't tie it. Then came the binder and they tied it. Then came the binder with the sheaf-carrier and they carried the sheaves into, ah, six and dropped them off for a stook.

Interviewer: When you were on your, ah- on your father's farm, um, did you ever cut hay up there? Speaker: Yes. Interviewer: How do you- how do you do that? How did you used to do it? Speaker: With the mowing machine. And we had the first old reaper. You don't remember the reaper, do-you? It made a beautiful job of handling grain. You-know, they used to have to use the cradle.

You-see they got- they got mower, what they call the mower and put a horse- team of horses on it and cut it with it. Interviewer: Mm-hm. Speaker: And then they had a rake. And the grain at that time was nearly all cut with a r-- reaper. Big thing come around and shoved off a sheaf at a time. Then to follow it up we tied that by hand.
