    There are two fields in locality called "baytens" (baotin'). The fields were skinned with a plough very lightly, crossing over hither and thither, until it was all ploughed into square sods. There were put standing on end like turf to dry, for burning in the house. It made a very nice fire, much like turf. Then the ground from which these sods were taken was ploughed, and the ashes of the sods mixed through it for manure. The best potatoes ever grown were produced in the "baytens"
