CERTAINE APPROUED POINTS OF HUSBANDRIE, VERY NECESSARIE FOR ALL HUSBANDMEN TO KNOWE.

First of Oxen.

TOkens whereby an Oxe is knowen to be good and towarde for the worke, are these: ready and quicke at the voyce, hee moueth quickly: he is short and large, great eares, the Hornes liuely and of meane big∣nesse and blacke, the head short, the breast large, a great panche, the tayle long tou∣ching the ground with a tuffe at the ende, the haire curled, the backe straight, the raines large, the leg strong & sinowes, the houffe short, and large, the best colour is blacke and red, and next vnto that the bay and the pyed, the white is the worst, the greye and the fallowe or yellowe is of lesse valure. The charge of one that kéepeth them is chiefly to vse them gently, to serue them with meate and good litter, to rubbe or kembe them at night, to strike them ouer in the morning, washing sometimes their Tailes with warme water, also to keepe their stable cleane, and that the poultrie or Hogges come not in, for the feathers may kill the Oxen, and the dung of sick Pogges breedeth the Murren.

Item hee must knowe discreetely when oxen haue laboured enough, and when but litle, and according to that they are to bee fedde.

Item that he worke them not in a time too cold or to wet.

Item that hee suffer them not to drinke presently after a great labour, and that he tie them not vp foorth with, vntill they be a little refreshed abroade.

The Oxe desireth cleare or running wa∣ter like as the Horse desireth the puddle or troubled water.

Item that at their comming home, hee alwayes ouerlooke them, whether there be any Thornes in their féete, or if the Yoke haue galled them.

In Fraunce they gelde all their Bulcalues about the age of two yeares, & that at the fall of the leafe.

The day when they are to be cut, they must not drinke, and must eate but little. They suddenly clippe the sinnowes of the stones with a paire of tongues, and so cut out the stones in such sort, as they leaue be∣hind the end that is tied vnto the sinnowes for so the Calfe or Bullocke shall not bléed ouermuch, nor shall léese all his virilitie and courage.

At the age of ten moneths the Bullocke changeth his foreteeth, and at sixe moneths after they scale the next teeth, and at the ende of thrée yeares he chaungeth all his teeth▪

Note when an Oxe is at best, his téeth are equall, white and long, and when he is old, the teeth be vnequall and blacke.

If an Oxe haue the laske, which often times is with bloud, and maketh him very weake, they kéepe him from drinke foure or fiue dayes, they giue him Walnuttes and harde Chéese, tempered in thicke wine, and for the vttermoste remedie, they let him bléed in the middes of the forehead.

To make him loose bellied they giue him two ounces of aloes, made in pouder with warme water.

An Oxe pisseth bloud of beeing too much chafed, or of eating il hearbes, or flowers, they kéepe him from drinke and drench him with Treacle in two pintes of Wine or Ale, putting thereto Saffron.

For the Cough they séeth I sope in his drinke.

For the biting of an Adder or venimous dogge, they noint the place with oyle of Scorpion.

If hee bee lame of colde in his féete, they wash him with olde vrine warmed.

If he be lame of the aboundance of blood fallen downe into the pastornes and hoofe, they dissolue it by rubbing and launcing.

Item the better to keepe their Oxen in health, whether they be to be laboured or to be fatted, they wash his mouth eight dayes with vrine, and there is taken away much fleame, which taketh from an Oxe his tasie and stomacke.

If the fleame haue made him haue the murre, which is knowne by the watering of the eye, they wash his mouth with time and white Wine or rubbe it with water and salte.

Of Horses.

TOkens of a good Colte, the head little and leane, the eare straight, the eyes great, the nostrelles wide, the necke little towardes the head, the backe short & large, close bellied, the cullions or stones equall and small, the tayle long tuffed with haire thicke and curled, the legges equall high and straight, the houffe blacke harde and hye, he should be quicke and pleasant.

The age of Horses is knowen partly by the hooffe, & principally by the teeth. When the Horse is two yeres and a halfe, the mid∣dle téeth aboue and beneath doe fall.

When he is foure yeare olde, the dogge téeth fall and others come in their places, before he be sixe yeere olde the great téeth aboue doe fall, and the sixt yere the first that fell come againe, the seauenth yeere all is fulle, and they be all shut.

Of Sheepe.

CErtaine dayes before the Rammes be put to the Yowes, they drench them with Salt water, thereby the Yowes will tooke the better, and the rammes (they say) waxe more full of appetite.

To haue manie male lambes, they chuse a drie time, the wind at North, letting the Yowes goe in pasture that laieth open a∣gainst the Northerne wind, and then put in the Rammes.

To haue manie female Lambes, they contrariewise obserue the South winde.

When a Yow is with lambe, if she haue a blacke tongue they say, the lambe will be black, and if the tongue be white, the lambe likewise will be white.

Tokens of a good sheepe: a great bodie, the necke long, the woll deepe, soft and fine, the bellie great and couered with woll, the tets great, great eyes, long legges and long taile.

Tokens of a good Ramme, the body high and long, a great bellie couered with woll, a fliece thicke▪ the forhead broad, eyes black with much woll about them, great eares couered with woll, great stones, well hor∣ned but the more writhed the better, the tongue and pallat of the mouth all white, to the end that the Lambes may bee all white.

Of Hogges.

THe Hogge of himselfe though filthy, yet they say he prospereth the best, if hee lodge in a cleane stye, and euery moneth his stye should be cast ouer with fresh grauaile or sand, to make his lying fresh, and to drie vp the pisse and filth.

They geld their pigges when they are a yeare old or sixe monethes at the least, for they waxe much greater if they be gelded at the said age.

They chuse them Bores that haue the head short and large, the brest large, colour blacke or white, the feet short, the legges great, and those that haue strongest haire on the top of their backe.

Those are to be kept for sowes which be longest, with hanging bellies, great Tettes, deepe ribbed, a litle head, and short legges.

Hogges be sicke when they rubbe much their eare or refrain their meat, but if none of these signes appeare, they plucke of one of his haires on the backe, if he be cleane & white at the roote, he is well, if he be blou∣die or foule, he is sicke.

They will haue their hogges either all white, or all blacke, and in anie wise not speckled or of two colours.

They refraine from dunging their land while the moone encreaseth, for that they note more aboundance of wéedes to come thereby.

Touching the sowing of Beanes they obserue this. At the fall of the leafe, in strong land they sow the great Beanes. At spring time in weake and light ground, they sow the common small Beanes and both sortes at the full of the Moone, that they may be better codded.

They vse to cut them at the new of the Moone before day.

Their flaxe as soone as they haue gathe∣red it, they set it vnder a house or houell, and suffer it not to take raine or dewe as we doe.

To make Chese yelow, they put in a litle Saffron.

To keepe Apples, they lay them on straw stro wed, the eye of the Apple downwards, and not the stemme.

And when they would haue anie great store, well and long kept from perishing, they gather and chuse the soundest, heaui∣est and fairest, being not ouer riped, they prouide a Hogshed, Fat, or great Whitch,
they bring the Apples where it shall stand, then they lay a laine of straw, and vpon the same a laine of Apples, and then straw againe, and Apples likewise vntill the ves∣sell be full to the brimme, shuting it close, with the head or couer that no aire come in.

To cure the malladie of trées that beare wormeaten fruite, which commeth of much wet or a moist season, at that time they pearse the trées through with an Auger as neere the roote as they may, to the end that the humor whereof the wormes doe bréed, may distill out of the trée.

If trées through oldnesse or otherwise leaue bearing of fruite vsually, they vse not to loppe them, but onely cut away the head boughes, they vncouer the rootes after all Saintes tide, and cleaue the greatest of the rootes, putting into the clefts shiuers of flints or hard stones, letting them there re∣maine, to the end that the humor of the earth may enter and ascend into the trée, after about the end of winter, they couer againe the rootes with verie good earth, if they haue anie deade Carrens, they burie them about the rootes of such Trées.
