The Ballarat Courier 26 Jan 1880
MR RUPERT SMITH'S COMBINED STRIPPER AND CLEANER. At the invitation of Mr Rupert Smith, of Beaufort about a hundred gentlemen assembled at his farm at Lake Goldsmith, to witness the trial of his stripper and cleaning machine combined. The farm is five miles south from Beaufort, and the crop, consisting of about 5 acres, was on a level piece of the farm. This machine was taken to Adelaide by Mr Smith, and competed for the prize offered by the South Australian Government The contest took place on the 17th and 23rd December last, and Mr Smith's machine was not allowed a third trial. The trial which took place on Thursday last went clearly to show, in the opinion of practical farmers present, that this machine is all that a farmer wants to take his crop off with at the least possible expense and delay. The sample of wheat which was handed by Mr Smith from the machine while at work was acknowledged by all that it was better cleaned than by the ordinary large threshing machines, and with less waste. Owing to the crop turning out rather heavy, a few stoppages occurred at the beginning of the trial, which was explained by Mr. Smith to be due to the removal of twelve of the cups from the elevator which had been removed by him before he took the machine to Adelaide, and they had not been replaced. A great amount of interest was manifested by those present, who were principally farmers, and the trial appears to give every satisfaction. The ground over which the machine had passsed was severely scrutinized to see if any waste had taken place, and it was found that actually less waste had occurred than what usually takes place with the ordinary reaper. The Hon. F. Longmore was present at the trial, and as an old farmer expressed a very high opinion of the machine. Mr. Thomas Shaw, who is now, wooing the electors of Ripon and Hampden, was also there, and at his meeting in Beaufort the same evening, thought it was due to Mr. Smith to state that it would make Beaufort famous in the future. The Age (Melbourne) 11 March 1937 Rupert Smith's Harvester. | TO THE EDITOR OF THE AGE. Sir, — With reference to Ruper Smith's invention of a harvester, I quote the fol lowing facts, which can be borne out by a number of farmers at Sheep Hills. There was a trial of this machine two miles east from Sheep Hills, I think it was in 1887 or 1888. The machine was worked by six horses. It was in appear ance like two strippers joined together and a winnower at the rear. It of course was a lumbersomc affair, and stopped frequently, and wasted a cer tain amount of wheat at stoppages, but it turned out a fair sample, and to my memory there was no man manipulation about it. After the trial two horses conveyed it to Minyip, and it remained there for years as a playhouse for children. I think parts of it are still there. One of the McKay brothers was at the trial, and shortly afterwards launched an iron-framed machine. — T. O'ROURKE |

Mr Rupert Smith, who died last week, at the Ballarat Benevolent Asylum, at the age of 83, was at one time the owner of some valuable property in the Beaufort district, including a valuable farm at Lake Goldsmith. He also carried on a butchering and farm produce business in Beaufort for many years. Mr Smith was probably the first man in the State to conceive the idea of a complete harvester, and although he expended a lot of time and capital in an endeavour to perfect the machine, success, did not crown his efforts. For many years he filled the pulpit at the Beaufort Primitive Methodist Church as a local preacher. |
