The country-people have, in every one of 

 their mills, an instrument made of six or 

 seven blades or hatchets, serving to cut 

 chaff into small pieces in a trough, in order 

 to grind it afterwards with their barley. 



Rotk'dl (Brassica oleracea z, Sp. PL 

 d^^i Napo brassica, or Stalk-cabbage) is 

 dried for winter use ; when it is boiled, and 

 given with the liquor to the cattle. 



The women at this place wear a hood, or 

 neckcloth, as they call it, of grey walmal 

 cloth, but only in bad weather. It is tied 

 with a black ribband in the fore part. 

 When they ride on horseback, they carry 

 the whip slung at their back.
