Wind Kneads Bread.
Foreigners are not so slow as Americans think they are in hastening to adapt themselves to up-to-date ideas and also in devising ways and means of their own to accomplish their daily tasks more easily. Near one city in Europe an ingenious country baker has connected a windmill on top of his plant with machinery below, which mixes and kneads his bread. Indeed, baking may be said to be done by wind power. When baking is not going forward and the wind is still turning the mill this gratuitous power of nature is not permitted to go to waste, but is utilized by the thrifty baker for turning the wheels that grind the wheat and rye into flour.
