The barley is thrown upon the stone, which, as it runs round, draws it in, frees it from the husk, and rounds it ; after which it is put into sieves and sifted.* At Ulm, however, the well-known Ulm...
Página 163 - He died ; and his successor, of a different cast, leaving off improvements, tried what doubling of rents would do ; and it is painful to relate, for it borders on a libel on human nature, that this advance of rent, considered exceedingly grievous at the time it was imposed, had a greater effect in improving the agriculture of the estate, than all the benevolence and forbearance of his predecessor. The tenants were now compelled to do for themselves what another did for them before.
