Dressing or currying the hideGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkDressing (or currying) the hide: the hide is dressed only on the pelt side. Today, a currying knife with an edge similar to a cabinet scraper is used. The old tanners in the mountains often used a scythe blade for this operation...this tool not having the keen edge of the currying knife, left the hide rough and shaggy.Tanning; Milas Messer Place; Cove Creek NC, III-F-12650, History - Farming - Farming (Sorghum making; bee keeping; haying; orchard; tobacco growing; oxen plowing; clearing land; plowing; pigs with yokes; butchering; mountain farm tanning; coopering)
Toll DishGreat Smoky Mountains National ParkIf a man took his corn to the mill and the Miller was not there, he could grind it himself, for the operation of the common tub mill is a simple affair, and buildings of all kinds were seldom locked. It was the custom to pay 1/8th of the grain ground as toll for the grinding. . . Thistoll measured with a toll dish which usually measured 1/8th of a bushel. The photograph shows such a toll dish found at Mingus Creek Mill, Smokemont, NC . . . Note the N.C. burned into the wood, showing that it was officially measured and recorded.Millin; Toll Dish; (1 Gallon), III-M-12525, History - Mills and Milling
