After laying the sods over the hemp they must be trod upon frequently, vibram five fingers to sink them and make the water appear between the sods; care must be taken that the roots of the hemp are put the lowest in the water; vibram fivefingers the treading must be repeated every day until the hemp is ready to be taken out of the water, which will be from nine to ten days if the weather is warm, and rather longer if the weather is cold. This requires considerable skill and experience before a person becomes a thorough judge on the point; the following rules will, however, if strictly followed, answer the purposes of a novice, and, if strictly adhered to, he cannot go far Vol. x. Nwrong. Let him, when he thinks the retting has gone far enough, take out of the water a glean from the middle, from which take out a stem, then hold the stem by the root end, and draw the thumb-nail up the stem to the top; vibram five fingers shoes if the fibre slip up the stem, it will be sufficiently retted ; if not, it will require another day, or perhaps more; also spread the glean on its side on the land to dry, it will do so in the course of the day; if the stem then breaks freely, and the fibre leaves it easily, it will have got a good ret, as it is called. When thus far finished, the sods must be taken off, and two men will be required to take out the gleans; one to lift them partly out of the water with a fork, root first; the other taking them from him with a fork ; and thus, with the assistance of the bottom man, the gleans are lifted on to the ground, and form a couch, and so proceed until finished. The next day, as if suffered to remain longer in the couch it heats and rots immediately, it is carted out, care being taken that it is laid straight in the cart and taken to grass-land that has been mown and the vibram five fingers sale hay taken therefrom for some time, so that a considerable quantity of new grass or eddish may have grown, in which case the worms do not take in the fibre so much.* After it is laid out on the eddish it should be spread by women very evenly in rows, at five fingers shoes Is. 6d. per day and their diet with beer. The hemp will require to lie on the eddish perhaps three weeks or more to bleach and the fibre to get free; it will require turning over with a light long pole, putting the pole underneath the top part and lifting it over ; this must be done very evenly every three or four days : this labour is done by women.To ascertain when it has lain long vibram five fingers kso enough on the grass to bleach, the cultivator must after ten days or less, if there have been heavy dews, examine the stems in different parts of the field ; and if he discovers any pink spots on the stems, it will be sufficiently bleached, if not it must lie longer; there is no fear of the fibre deteriorating until the pink spots appear: vibram five fingers shoes that perhaps by skechers shape ups frequent turning may be three weeks ; the hemp must then be gathered and tied into bundles, and set up in stooks to dry (the stooks consisting of ten or twelve bundles each), and tied from the middle bundle of each side to each end, to keep the wind from blowing it over. When perfectly dry, it must be carried from the field and placed in a barn or ricked in some exposed part with cullis roof, where it will keep dry. The scutching has next to be* When hemp is spread on summer-eaten grass-land, the worms will draw a considerable quantity of the fibre into their holes; there requires a good portion of grass after mowing to prevent them (the worms) from so doing;—the stumps and new grass prevent the worms destroying the fibre, provided proper attention is paid to the turning.provided for, good breaks and scutching-stocks being 'obtained. |
