Chap. 18.
1
Let hog, once fat,loose nothing of that.
When mast is gon,
hog falleth anon.
Still fat vp some,
till Shroftide come.
Now porke and souse,
beares tack, in house.
2
Put barlie to malting,lay, flitches a salting.
Through follie, too beastlie,
much bacon is reastie.
3
Some winnow, some fan,some cast, that can.
In casting prouide,
for seede lay aside.
4
Thresh barlie, thou shalt,for chapman to malt.
Else thresh no more,
but for thy store.
5
Till March, thresh wheat,but as ye doo eat.
Least baker forsake it,
if foystines take it.
6
No chaffe in bin,makes horse looke thin.
7
Sowe hastings now,that hastings alow.
8
They buie it full deere,in winter that reere.
9
Few fowles, lesse swine,rere now, friend mine.
10
What losse, what sturs,through rauening curs?
11
Make Martilmas beefe,deere meate is a theefe.
12
Set garlike and pease,saint Edmond to please.
13
When raine takes place,to threshing apace.
14
Mad braine, too rough,marres all at plough.
With flaile and whips,
fat hen, short skips.
15
Some threshing by taske,will steale, and not aske.
Such thresher at night
walkes, seldom home light.
Some corne away lag,
in bottle and bag.
Some steales for a iest,
egges, out of the nest.
16
Lay stouer vp drie,in order to lie.
Poore bullock doth craue,
fresh straw to haue.
17
Make weekly vp flower,though threshers do lower.
Lay graine in loft,
and turne it oft.
18
For much, regard,make cleane, foule yard.
Lay straw to rot,
in watrie plot.
[23]
19
Hedlond vp plow,for compas ynow.
20
For herbes good store,trench garden more.
21
At midnight trie,foule priuies to fie.
22
Rid chimney of soot,from top to the foot.
23
In stable, put now,thy horses, for plow.
24
Good horsekeeper will,laie muck vpon hill.
25
Cut molehils, that stand,so thick vpon land.
Thus endeth Nouembers abstract, agreeing with Nouembers husbandrie.
Other short remembrances.
Get pole, boy mine,
beate hawes to swine.
Driue hog to the wood,
brake rootes, be good.
beate hawes to swine.
Driue hog to the wood,
brake rootes, be good.
For mischiefe that falles,
looke well to marsh walles.
Drie laier, get neate,
and plentie of meate.
looke well to marsh walles.
Drie laier, get neate,
and plentie of meate.
Curst cattel that nurteth,
poore wennel, soon hurteth.
Good neighbour mine,
ring well thy swine.
poore wennel, soon hurteth.
Good neighbour mine,
ring well thy swine.
Such winter may serue,
hog ringled, will sterue.
In frost, keepe dog,
from hunting of hog.
