    while the corn is drawn into the haggard where it is made into big ricks. A month or so after the engine comes around and the corn is threshed. The grain is separated from the straw. The straw of oats and wheat is used for bedding under cows and horses.
    When some farmers have their wheat threshed they send a couple of bags of it into the mill in Kilworth to get it ground into flour for their own use.
