Primitive German Village Life and communal Work
The Continent review describes a village where land is held in strips by families from forest clearings under commune ownership. Each family farms its own plots, keeps cows and geese, and uses primitive tools for flax and linen. Cattle are raised or sold young, fuel is gathered from forests, and income comes from milk cheese and feathers.
