hectolitre

We must not suppose, however, that the franc with which each hectolitre is burdened as interest is an invariable quantity.

An agriculturist: Three francs premium upon the hectolitre of corn for me!

It is usually sown in autumn with a little rye or winter oats, at the rate of a hectolitre to a hectare.

But a stomach with the cubic capacity of a hectolitre needed more than this!

In these circumstances, each hectolitre would be burdened with one franc.
