Dougher

Among the ordinances of the Bakers of Exeter, is a provision that all 'dowers' (doughers or bakers) of the city and suburbs should grind at the city mills, and nowhere else; […]

Among the archives of the Pillsbury A mill is the following, which was recently found spread over a pine board in hieroglyphics by some unknown and nailed on the door of the dougher's room.

The ovens are heated by electricity, and the dougher, when he wants the ovens warm, just turns a switch throwing the current on, and in a few minutes the temperature is exactly what he wants, and is under perfect control.

That "deye" meant originally a dougher or maker, then a dairymaid, and lastly a farm hand, as in Scott's novels, he is not told.
