When the corn was sown, I had no harrow, but was forced to go over it myself, and drag a great heavy bough of a tree over it, to scratch it, as it may be called, rather than rake or harrow it.
Cuando terminé de sembrar el grano, me hacía falta un ras trillo y no me quedó más remedio que utilizar una rama gruesa con la cual conseguí arañar la tierra, más que rastrillarla.
