Gradually the area of standing corn was reduced.

渐渐地，麦地里竖着麦子的部分减少了。

No objections are made to hunting, inasmuch as it dispenses with drafts upon the smoke-house, and because every marauding coon that is killed is so much saved from the standing corn.

没有人反对打猎， 因为它可以在熏房里抽风，而且每只被杀死的掠夺性浣熊都可以从站立的玉米中节省下来。
