When the slipboard is let down, a quantity of barley is allowed to pass into the drum-case by means of the rollers; and it is there retained under the impetuous action of the beaters as long as the feeder-in thinks proper; and when he considers it to be sufficiently rubbed and buffetted, he suddenly pulls up the slipboard, so as to allow the whole quantity of barley to be thrown, at one dash, upon the first shaker;
