(Plin. Nat. Hist., lib. xviii. cap. 30.) 138. Hay-making among the Romans was performed much in the same way as inmodern times. The meadows were mown when the flowers of the grass began to fade ; as it dries, says Varro, it is turned with forks; it is then tied up in bundles of fourpounds each, and carried home, and what is left strewed upon the meadow is rakedtogether, and added to the crop.
