There is disclosed a harness for four legged farm animals, especially sheep, which comprises a fastening strap 19 which can be taken around the body of the animal, near to the neck and front legs of the animal, and at least one projecting member 22, 23 on the strap which applies a resisting and/or discomforting force to the animal whenever it attempts to roll on its back. <IMAGE>

JP The device includes a drum (14) rotatably mounted in a frame for storing pieces of different sizes to be sorted out. Elements (20,21) on the drum, including openings of different dimensions pass pieces of different sizes respectively. Members (22) are disposed peripherally around the drum in radial alignment with those openings of one dimension for collecting pieces of a partic. size passing through the openings. A drive device (16) rotates the drum about its own axis to discharge the pieces out of the drum. The device has a separator for separating superimposed sorted-out pieces from each other. A magnetic or optical reader reads information recorded on sorted-out pieces, e.g. tickets, and rejects those pieces with defective information.
