  Tobacco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eventually tractors with wagons were used to transport leaves to the stringer, an apparatus which uses twine to sew leaves onto a stick.
The harvester is a wheeled sled or trailer that has seats for the croppers to sit on and seats just in front of these for the "stringers" to sit on.
This is often called "Scotch Snuff", a folk-etymology derivation of the scorching process used to dry the cured tobacco by the factory.

 Dog Owner's Guide: Yorkies, Silkies, and Aussies
The first breed developed and shown in the land down under, the Australian Terrier springs from the same basic stock as the Yorkshire Terrier but is a slightly larger, coarser dog without the flowing coat.
Know initially as “Australian Terriers, Rough-Coated,” the Aussie developed from a native dog of the country’s Tasmania Territory, a dog that was closely related to the same old Scotch dogs that produced the Yorkie.
As with all breeds, historians do not always agree on the details, but according to the AKC Complete Dog Book, the breeds that were crossbred to produce the Aussie included the precursors of the Dandie Dinmont and Skye terriers along with the old Black-and-Tan Terrier and perhaps the Irish and Cairn terriers.

After devouring Kevin C. Fitzpatrick's book, you might be tempted to think of it as a Dorothy Parker encyclopedia - since it is filled with just about everything one could hope to discover about the noted writer, critic, defender of human and civil rights and humorist - although she herself preferred the term "satirist."
She is also somewhat fancifully described as being comprised of "equal parts bootleg scotch, Broadway lights, speakeasy smoke, skyscraper steel, streetcar noise, and jazz horns" - since, for much of her extraordinary life, the former Dorothy Rothschild worked and played on the isle of Manhattan.
This is a book so well documented with street maps, footnotes, and photographs that one could easily use it to organize a "Dorothy Parker Walking Tour"; although that's one of the things that the author, who is also the founder of the Dorothy Parked Society, specializes in.
