Octobers abstract.
Chap. 16.
1
Lay drie vp and round,for barlie, thy ground.
2
Too late doth kill,too soone is as ill.
3
Maides little and great,pick cleane, seede wheat.
Good ground doth craue,
choice seede to haue.
Flaies lustily thwack,
least plough seede lack.
4
Seede first, go fetch,for edish or etch.
Soile perfectly knowe,
er edish ye sowe.
5
White wheat, if ye please,sowe now vpon pease.
Sowe first the best,
and then the rest.
6
Who soweth in raine,hath weed to his paine.
But woorse shall he speed,
that soweth ill seed.
7
Now, better than later,draw furrow for water.
Keepe crowes good sonne,
see fencing be donne.
8
Each soile no vaine,for euerie graine.
Though soile be but bad,
some corne may be had.
9
Naught proue, naught craue,naught venter, naught haue.
10
One crop and away,some countrie may say.
11
All grauell and sand,is not the best land.
A rottenly mould,
is land woorth gould.
12
Why wheat, is smitten,good lesson is written.
13
The iudgement of some,how thistles doe come.
14
A iudgement right,of land in plight.
Land, all forlorne,
not good for corne.
15
Land barren doth beare,small strawe, short eare.
16
Here maist thou reede,for soile what seede.
17
Tis tride ery hower,best graine most flower.
18
Grosse corne much bran,the baker doth ban.
19
What croppers bee,here learne to see.
20
Few after, crop much,but noddies and such.
21
Som woodland may crake,three crops he may take.
22
First barlie, then pease,then wheat, if ye please.
[19]
23
Two crops and away,must champion say.
24
Where barlie did growe,laie wheat to sowe.
Yet better I thinke,
sowe pease, after drinke.
And then if ye please,
sowe wheat after pease.
25
What champion knowes,that custome showes.
26
First barlie er rie,then pease by and by.
Then fallow for wheat,
is husbandrie great.
27
A remedie sent,where pease lack vent.
Fat peasefed swine,
for drouer is fine.
28
Each diuers soile,hath diuers toile.
29
Some countries vse,that some refuse.
30
For wheat, ill land,where water doth stand.
Sowe pease or dredge,
belowe in that redge.
31
Sowe acornes to prooue,that timber doe looue.
32
Sowe hastings now,if land it alow.
33
Learne soone to get,a good quickset.
34
For feare of the wurst.make fat away furst.
35
Fat that, no more,ye keepe for store.
36
Hide carren in graue,lesse noiance to haue.
37
Hog measeled kill,for flemming that will.
38
With peasebolt and brakesome brew and bake.
39
Old corne worth gold,so kept as it shold.
40
Much profit is rept,by sloes well kept.
41
Keepe sloes vpon bow,for flixe of thy cow.
42
Of vergis be sure,poore cattel, to cure.
Thus endeth Octobers abstract, agreeing with Octobers husbandrie.
Other short remembrances.

By malt ill kept,
