_Of the Swineherd._--It belongs to the gafol-paying swineherd that he give of his slaughter according to the custom of the estate. On many estates the custom is that he give every year 15 swine for sticking, 10 old and 5 young, and have himself what he breeds beyond that. To many estates a heavier swine-service belongs. Let the swineherd take heed also that after sticking he prepare and singe well his slaughtered swine; then is he right worthy of the entrails, and, as I said before of the bee-keeper, he must be oft ready for any work, and have a horse for his lord's need. The unfree swineherd and the unfree bee-keeper, after death, shall be worthy of one same law. _Of the Serf-Swineherd._--To the serf swineherd who keeps the inherd[22] belong a sucking-pig from the sty and the entrails when he has prepared bacon, and further the customs which befit the unfree. _Of Men's Board_.--To a bondservant (_esne_) belong for board 12 pounds of good corn and 2 sheep-carcases and a good meat-cow, and wood, according to the custom of the estate. _Of Women's Board._--To unfree women belong 8 pounds of corn for food, one sheep or 3d. for winter fare, one sester of beans for Lent fare, in summer whey or 1d. To all serfs belong a mid-Winter feast and an Easter feast, a ploughacre[23] and a harvest handful,[24] besides their needful dues. _Of Followers._[25]--It belongs to the follower that in 12 months he earn two acres, the one sown and the other unsown; he shall sow them himself, and his board and provision of shoes and gloves belong to him; if he may earn more, it shall be to his own behoof. _Of the Sower._--It belongs to the sower that he have a basketful of every kind of seed when he have well sown each sowing throughout the year. _Of the Ox-herd._--The ox-herd may pasture 2 oxen or more with the lord's herd in the common pastures by witness of his ealdorman[26]; and thereby may earn shoes and gloves for himself; and his meat-cow may go with the lord's oxen. _Of the Cow-herd._--It belongs to the cow-herd that he have an old cow's milk for seven days after she has newly calved, and the beestings[27] for fourteen nights; and his meat-cow shall go with the lord's cow. _Of Sheep-herds._--The sheep-herd's right is that he have 12 nights' manure at mid-Winter and 1 lamb of the year's increase, and the fleece of 1 bellwether and the milk of his flock for seven nights after the equinox and a bowlful of whey or buttermilk all the summer. _Of the Goat-herd._--To the goat-herd belongs his herd's milk after Martinmas Day and before that his share of whey and one kid of the year's increase, if he have well cared for his herd. _Of the Cheese-maker._--To the cheese-maker belong 100 cheeses, and that she make butter of the wring-whey[28] for the lord's table; and she shall have for herself all the buttermilk save the herd's share.
