Elements of practical agriculture; comprehending Elements of practical agriculture; comprehending the cultivation of plants, the husbandry of the domestic animals, and the economy of the farm elementsofpracti00lowd Year: 1838 224 PLANTS CULTIVATED FOR THEIR SEEDS. ratus, the seeds are separated from the chaff, and being re- ceived from the machine, are carried away to undergo a final dressing in a separate winnowing-apparatus. The barn for these operations, it has been seen, is divided into three apart- ments :—First, that in which the unthrashed corn is put; se- cond, that immediately underneath it, in which the corn is re- ceived from the thrashing-machine, and afterwards winnowed ; and third, that into which the straw falls from the thrashing- machine, and where it is generally stored for use. This last is termed the straw-barn, and ought to be of a size sufficient to contain the produce of two stacks. The first operation to be performed in thrashing is to carry the unthrashed corn from the Fig. 129. barn-yard to the barn. A piece of canvass is laid at ^the side of the stacks for the sheaves to fall upon. The sheaves may be carried to the barn by two persons, on a piece of canvass fixed on two poles (Fig. 129); or they may be conveniently carred on light sparred barrows.
