[Sidenote: Stoop not.] these two instruments, he shall neuer stoupe to his warke. Dogfenell, goldes, mathes, and kedlokes are yll to wede after this maner, they growe vppon so many braunches, 28 [Sidenote: Pull up darnel.] harde by the erthe: and therfore they vse most to pul them vppe with theyr handes; but loke well, that they pull not vppe the corne with all; but as for terre, there wyll noo wedynge serue. 32 22. ¶ The fyrst sturrynge. [Sidenote: [Fol. 18_b_.]] Also in June is tyme to rygge vppe the falowe, the whiche is called the fyrst sturrynge, and to plowe it as depe as thou canste, for to tourne the rotes of the wedes vpwarde, that the sonne and the drye wether maye kyll 4 them. And an housbande can not conuenyentelye plowe [Sidenote: How to plough and load out dung.] his lande, and lode out his dounge bothe vppon a daye, with one draughte of beastes: but he maye well lode oute his dounge before none, and lode heye or corne at-after 8 none: or he maye plowe before none, and lode hey or corne at-after none, with the same draughte, and noo hurte to the cattell: bycause in lodynge of hey or corne, the cattel is alwaye eatynge or beytynge, and soo they 12 can not doo in lodynge of dounge and plowynge. 23. ¶ To mowe grasse. [Sidenote: End of June.] Also in the later ende of June is tyme to begyn to mowe, if thy medowe be well growen: but howe-so-euer [Sidenote: July.] they be growen, in July they muste nedes mowe, for diuers causes. One is, it is not conuenient to haue hey 4 [Sidenote: Mow hay early.] and corne bothe in occupation at one tyme. An other is, the yonger and the grener that the grasse is, the softer [Sidenote: [Fol. 19.]] and the sweter it wyll be, whan it is hey, but it wyll haue the more wyddrynge; and the elder the grasse is, the 8 harder and dryer it is, and the worse for al maner of cattell: for the sedes be fallen, the whiche is in maner of prouander, and it is the harder to eate and chowe. And an other cause is, if drye wether come, it wyll drye 12 and burne vpon the grounde, and waste away. Take [Sidenote: How to mow.] hede that thy mower mow clene and holde downe the hynder hand of his sith, that he do not endent the grasse, and to mowe his swathe cleane thorowe to that that 16 was laste mowen before, that he leaue not a mane bytwene, and specyallye in the common medowe: for in the seuerall medowe it maketh the lesse charge, and that [Sidenote: Mole-hills.] the moldywarpe-hilles be spredde, and the styckes cleane 20 pycked out of the medowe in Apryll, or in the beginnynge of Maye. 24. ¶ Howe forkes and rakes shulde be made.
