THE OLD WAY.
These men are cutting the wheat with cradles. It is then raked into bundles which are bound by hand and gathered into shocks. Later they are hauled on wagons to a threshing machine and threshed, the grain being thus separated from the straw.

THE NEW WAY.
A modern combined reaper and thresher, drawn by a traction engine. Here the grain is cut, threshed and delivered in sacks as the machine moves along.
