you like it, but I see it: The first time you start our agriculture are February and March, the land rises first, then he drops into the manure, which are the same cattle droppings mixed with straw. Or with the same sheep, with a rede to be changed every night. Then she turns around and planted the seed that belongs to every age. First potatoes, beets and beans, always in small amounts because the plots are very small. Was done with a pair of oxen or cows were tame and shot with wooden and iron tools that are giving the land back. These tools we said plows and yokes that were matched.
The vegetables were collected in the fall, all people gathered by hand, piece by piece. After sown cereals, wheat, rye and barley spent the winter. In the spring families thinning out weeds to grow more grain and called weeding. Mowing
Then came the harvest that began to clarify the day. Came to the plot with a sickle and a sock and cut ... breakfasted in a little while, with very pooco time started again after lunch, after lunch it was a stew with chickpeas, bacon and meat of sheep, which we raised in our home and a bit of rancid butter. And all this to the heat, you sweat ran through the body. If caught you a tree nearby, then that day was extraordinary. Barely
close your eyes in the siesta, our parents said "Come on, above, which have much homework! And with all the heat to mow again and when I was falling in the afternoon we started to tie it with a few straws, called Swifts, which were taken from the same mana, as it was called, and made a few very large bundles it was called do . After a few piles were placed in positions with some storms becoming wet when they appeared at least possible. In those piles were called tresnales . When
The harvest was over it started to charge the carts and taken to the ages. This is called carrying and was becoming an oak so we called round placement completed in peak calase not with water. From there it was taking to prepare the heap, on top of a meadow that had no moisture would be round because after threshing.
Threshing Threshing was drawn by a pair of donkeys or cows, which circled round all day on the mound. had to turn it around from time to time and when the straw was ground and had already released and the grain, it was a lot that had to be separated after the wheat from the chaff. Had to wait for the air and came with a pitchfork is pulled at a height, as the air safe to come with great views that the grain is separated from the chaff and when they were separated, there were screens and finished fat and remove the speck that was called pellets. The grain of wheat was carried to the mill where the flour was made. This was put in a CIAZO, and the move is needed to separate the flour from the bran, the flour was to make bread and bran was for animals.
The bread is baked in home ovens ten or twelve days, and feed our families.
And here ends the history of our agriculture in the forties.
