- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Goresbridge, each with his hook and small bundle of necessities in a large handkerchief. Even today the reaper and binder is rarely used in Bornafea. Corn is cut with the hay machine and bound into sheaves by hand.
- The flagged floor of the barn was swept clean & a layer of sheaves laid down. Two or three men went in with flails and threashed until the grain was judged to be shaken from the head. The straw was well shaken, pitched out, and the grain swept up. Then a fresh layer of corn laid down & threshed until the entire crop was dealt with.
- When a favourable day came the corn was winnowed. A seive was used in this operation, and James Staunton who often did this work, still retained the rythmic actions of the winnower.
- In this district the quern was used. The bottom stone may be seen in some farmyards still, but I have never seen the top portion. Of course the bulk of the corn crop went to pay the landlord, and the remainer was only ground when required. In later years the horse-power thresher and winnowing machine combination were used. A horse power machine is used at Staunton's to this day(leanann ar an chéad leathanach eile)
