Where peason ye had and a fallow thereon,
sowe wheat ye may well without [doong] therevpon:
New broken vpland, or with water [opprest],
or ouer much doonged, for wheat is not best.
30
Where water all winter annoieth too much,
bestowe not thy wheat vpon land that is such:
But rather sowe otes, or else [bullimong][E111] there,
gray peason, or runciuals, fitches, or [tere].
Sowing of acorns.
31
Sowe acornes ye owners, that timber doe looue,
sowe hawe and rie with them the better to prooue;
If cattel or cunnie may enter to crop,
yong [oke] is in daunger of loosing his top.
Sowing of Hastings or fullams.
32
Who pescods delighteth to haue with the furst,
if now he do sowe them, I thinke it not wurst.
The greener thy peason and warmer the roome,
more lusty the layer, more plenty they come.
33
Go plow vp or delue vp, aduised with skill,
the bredth of a ridge, and in length as you will.
Where speedy quickset for a fence ye wil drawe,
to sowe in the seede of the bremble and hawe.[E112]
A disease in fat hogs.
34
Through plenty of acornes, the [porkling] to fat,
not taken in season, may perish by that,
If [ratling] or swelling get once to the throte,
thou loosest thy porkling, a crowne to a grote.[E113]
Not to fat for rearing.
