TORNEA. 195 



The scythe which serves at Cronby in 

 East Bothhind, for mowing barley, is made 

 exactly like the common one of the Fin- 

 landers, with the foremost handle under- 

 jieath, but, that nothing may be wasted or 

 lost, the machine b c is fixed to the scythe, 

 b being stuck into the hole at a, and fast- 

 ened with a pin through it at the other 

 side. A cord is tied from the other end c 

 to the handle d, before the scythe is used. 

 The lower, or shortest, bar of this appen- 

 dage scarcely extends beyond the extre- 

 mity of the scythe at f. Its position is 

 regulated by a cord, according to the in- 

 clination of the blade f g. 



The leno^th of the main handle of the 

 scythe, e f, is two ells.
