Encyclopedia entry on straw from Rees's Cyclopedia, treated from an agricultural viewpoint. It covers straw as cattle fodder, litter and manure, chemical observations by Humphry Davy, and cutting pea straw. It also describes straw and hay ropes used to protect fruit-tree blossoms from frost, and short entries on straw collars, straw cutters, straw drains, straw houses, ricks and a straw-twisting machine. It does not deal with straw plaiting or weaving.
