it so by the grain. And he who does not wish it so, let 

 him put a true man in whom he trusts over the threshing. 

 And it is well that he who is over the threshing should tally 

 the product of each mow of the grange by itself to see how 

 many quarters each mow yields by itself. And if there be 

 a stack outside, let it be measured by rod and by foot, the 

 breadth, length, and height, when it is about to be threshed, 

 and tally each stack by itself, and then it will be possible 

 to know the yield and issue of each mow outside as well as 

 of each stack within the grange; but let the stacks be 

 each year of the same size in breadth and length and 

 height. And if he wish to sell his corn in gross, he will 

 know better how much each stack is worth according to the 

 price of corn. And although he sell the corn in gross, it 

 is well to tally it and see the issue of each mow and of 

 each stack, as the more often he proves it the more sure he 

 will be of the yield, because corn does not yield equally each 

 year. Take care that he who is over the threshing, if he 

 thresh any old corn among the new, that he thresh and 

 tally the old quite by itself; and let the provost answer 

 in his roll for the sale of the corn quite by itself, to 

 see the issue of each year, if it yields its seed. And if you 

 make malt, he must always answer you, for nine quarters, 

 a tenth at the least ; and this is a little yield, but it is fixed 

 thus because corn can be made to sprout too much to make 

 a good return for profit, whereby the malt is worth much 

 less and will yield less ale. 



The yield feom the dairy, and how the dairywoman 

 ought to answer for the small live stock of the 

 court and for their issue. 



You must have, in each place where there is a dairy, a 

 man or woman to keep the small live stock there, as said 

 before. If it is a man, he must do everything as a woman 

 would, and he ought to take every sixteen weeks a quarter
