Northern Husbandry, 24/09/1732, ¶1120:
Birch is used for firewood; there are no candles nor torches indoors since those in use among the Finns and Finnish Lapps only smoulder smokily. They cut the hay with a scythe as in Uppland. Treat the corn as in Småland; in dry years it dries better on stands, in wet years on frames. Hay is spread out and turned, then brought in, without being stacked, on a large waggon.
