[ I/O ] 



inform you, that it is here much the cuf- 

 tom to mow their wheat ; they do it with 

 a common fcythe, and cut to the ftand- 

 ing corn, not from it as with fpring corn: 

 A woman follows every mower, to gather 

 the corn, and lay it in order for binding ; 

 and a man follows every two fcythes to 

 bind after the women : A man will mow 

 from an acre and half to two acres a day ; 

 it is reckoned a llovenly method, for it 

 takes in great quantities of weeds at the 

 bottoms of the fheaves, and the ground is 

 obliged to be raked.
