turkey_n they_o will_v suffer_v no_o body_n to_o ride_v on_o horseback_n with_o both_o leg_n on_o one_o side_n as_o lady_n do_v in_o france_n when_o i_o leave_v it_o the_o reason_n of_o that_o odd_a

the_o straw_n a_o little_a aside_o and_o the_o corn_n alone_o fall_v straight_o down_o horse_n the_o way_n of_o feed_v horse_n they_o feed_v their_o horse_n with_o that_o cut_a straw_n in_o some_o place_n that_o machine_n be_v different_a as_o i_o have_v see_v in_o mesopotamia_n where_o in_o stead_n of_o these_o pinion_n round_o the_o rowler_n they_o have_v many_o peg_n of_o iron_n about_o

to_o sit_v upon_o they_o take_v the_o same_o course_n in_o persia_n nevertheless_o in_o some_o place_n they_o cut_v not_o the_o straw_n but_o only_o make_v ox_n or_o horse_n tread_v out_o the_o corn_n with_o their_o foot_n which_o they_o separate_v from_o the_o straw_n as_o i_o have_v say_v of_o all_o the_o corn_n which_o they_o prepare_v in_o this_o manner_n barley_n be_v the_o oneiy_a grain_n

and_o that_o be_v all_o they_o have_v the_o whole_a day_n in_o persia_n the_o horse_n have_v barley_n only_o at_o night_n but_o in_o the_o daytime_n they_o give_v they_o a_o sack_n of_o straw_n let_v we_o now_o see_v how_o they_o make_v butter_n at_o damascus_n butter_n the_o way_n of_o make_v butter_n which_o be_v the_o same_o way_n all_o turkey_n over_o they_o fasten_v the_o two_o end_n of_o a_o

shake_v it_o for_o some_o time_n and_o after_o put_v a_o little_a water_n into_o it_o then_o they_o shake_v it_o again_o until_o the_o butter_n be_v make_v which_o be_v do_v they_o pour_v off_o a_o kind_n of_o buttermilk_n by_o they_o call_v yogourt_n which_o they_o drink_v when_o they_o will_v have_v this_o yogourt_n more_o delicious_a they_o heat_v the_o milk_n and_o put_v a_o spoonful_n of_o sour_a milk_n to_o it_o which_o they_o make_v sour_a with_o rennet_n and_o by_o that_o mixture_n all_o the_o milk_n become_v yogourt_n they_o let_v it_o cool_v and_o then_o use_v it_o or_o if_o they_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o keep_v it_o they_o put_v it_o with_o salt_n into_o a_o bag_n which_o they_o tie_v very_o fast_o that_o what_o be_v within_o may_v be_v press_v and_o let_v it_o drop_v until_o no_o more_o come_v out_o of_o that_o matter_n there_o remain_v no_o more_o in_o the_o bag_n but_o a_o kind_n of_o a_o butter_n or_o rather_o white_a cheese_n
