Octobers husbandrie. 
Some far fro the market delight not in pease, 
for that ery chapman they seeme not to please. 
If vent of the market place serue thee not well, 
set hogs vp a fatting, to drouer to sell. 
Two crops of a fallow enricheth the plough, 
though tone be of pease, it is land good ynough: 
One crop and a fallow some soile will abide, 
where if ye go furder lay profit aside. 
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. 
Where water all winter annoieth too much, 
bestowe not thy wheat vpon land that is such: 
But rather sowe otes, or else bullimong there, 
gray peason, or runciuals, fitches, or tere. 
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. 
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. 
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. 
Sowing of 
acorns. 
Sowing of 
Hastings or 
fullams.
