As soon as the chaff was removed she emptied the rice into her basket and covered it with the winnower. |
These she placed on a winnower, which in turn was set on a rice-mortar. |
This accomplished, the grain is freed from chaff by tossing it in a winnower. |
Come harvest time, it was run over by a winnower or combine, and hundreds of tiny body parts were spread across the field. |
The payment to the winnower is at the rate of fourpence per five bushels. |
The winnower is raised a few inches above the ground, and the woman asks the child its name, then drops it. |
