The flowings served a triple purpose in checking the weeds and grass, stimulating the rice, and saving the delicate stalks from breakage and matting by storms. A curious item in the routine just before the grain was ripe was the guarding of the crop from destruction by rice birds.
Who'll fell trees wi' the least amount o' breakage? Who'll get the work out o' the men? Who'll " "Don't plead, Mac," Bryce interrupted gently. "You're quite through, and I can't waste any more time on you." "Ye dinna mean it, lad. Ye canna mean it." "On your way, Mac. I loathe arguments. And don't forget your check." "I maun see yer faither aboot this.
For heavy goods, the saving by canal would be as twelve to one, beside the perfect safety. In the canal boat there is no danger of fracture, even to the most delicate goods; whereas, if fine China goods were to be brought by the rapid waggons, the breakage would probably be twenty-five per cent. "As to the profits of the undertaking let us be extravagantly liberal.
We were now in a nice carriage, which must not go off the road, for fear of breakage, with a regular coachman, whose chief care was not to tire his horses, and who had no taste for entering fields in pursuit of wild flowers, or tempting some strange wood path in search of whatever might befall. It was pleasant, but almost as tame as New England. But charming indeed was the place where we stopped.
All round the plantations Scots-firs are planted as "nurses," to keep off the rough winds and prevent breakage; these also help to lengthen the trunks by inducing upward development. As the trees get nearer together they are repeatedly thinned out, and, eventually, only those left which are intended to come to maturity.

Then Mrs. Rowles called Emily and bade her take Juliet to the well and show her how to draw a bucket of water. A loud scream was heard, and Mrs. Rowles's heart almost ceased beating, so fearful was she that one of the children had fallen into the well.
A very poor after-thought, let me tell you, for no thief would throw away a useful case that concealed his booty and protected it from breakage, and throw it away just so as to leave a clue as to what direction he had gone in.
The choppers pay a dollar a month toward the hospital, and that covers medical attendance for them and their families." Donald laughed and flipped a quarter over to the cashier, then turned and handed ten dollars to a wiry little chopper standing in line. "I was feeling so good this morning I bet Sandy my week's pay I could fell a tree quicker than he and with less breakage.
If it paid in a small North-country town or Midland village, why would it not pay much better in an area where the houses stand more closely together, and where luxurious living and thriftless habits have so increased that there must be proportionately far more breakage, more waste, and, therefore, more collectable matter than in the rural districts?
This makes it possible for the steam to escape and prevents breakage. If a glass top jar is used, snap the top bail only, leaving the lower bail loose during sterilization. Tin cans should be completely sealed. Place the filled and capped containers on the rack in the sterilizer.
