This mill distributed a fixed amount of meat to each person whose means entitled him to some. Several people had to give up their holdings to entitle them to a share. Thus several holders of land have disappeared from the locality. Their farms or plots were joined up to larger holdings and the population of the district dwindled.About this time two model farms were set up. One in Kildimo - about 360 acres. Another in ? - about 40 acres. The former farm has been divided. The latter farm was purchased by a neighbouring farmer whose descendant now occupies it.
