The Winnowing Mill

"Fifty-three years ago I invented the winnowing mili now in coramon use," says Moses Gilman, of South Sangerville, Maine. "If I had had it patented I raight have realized a fortune from it, as all the machines that have been built since have been upoa the same principie. Even the threshing machine separators which hare superseded the oíd time flail use the winnowing mili substantially as I flrst made it for clearing the chaff from the grain. I have invented many other things that were valuable, but I never asked fora patent" Mr. Gilman, though 77 years old, is still at it, inventing, and says if his strength and reason hold out he is going to produce some valuable new ideas yet
