To take the awns from barley where a threshing machine is used, a notched spar, lined on one side with plate iron, and just the length of the rollers, is fixed by a screw bolt at each end of the inside of the cover of the drum, about the middle of it, so that the edge of the notched stick is about one eighth of an inch from the arms of the drum as it goes round. Two minutes are sufficient to put it on, when its operation is wanted, which is, when putting through the bailey the second time ; and it is as easily taken off. It rubs off the awns completely. 2799. A cheap method of hummcl/ing l/arlei/, where a threshing machine is in use, con- sists in having a second cover for the drum lined with tin, having small holes perforated in it in the manner of a grater, and the rough side externally. The grain being sepa- rated from the straw in the ordinary way, the grated cover is to be substituted for the common one, and the grain passed through a second time. This mode is said to succeed as well as any other. (Farm. Mag. vol. xiii. p. 443.) 2800. Hand hammelling machines (figs. 405. and 406.) are in use in Lincolnshire and other parts of England, where barley is much cultivated, and where threshing machines are little in use. (Gard.
