The modern husbandman: or The practice of farming As it is now carried on by the most accurate farmers in several counties of England. For the month of February. Containing the following particulars, viz. I. The author's discovery of four sorts of new excellent wheats, two whereof exceed the common Red Lammas, for making the finest flour and bread. II. The good and bad properties of sowing wheat in February. III. Several accounts of sowing and setting of beans and pease. IV. Crops of corn, how they may be got seven years together, without dung or manure. V. How farming may be carried on to great profit in many places, without any other live cattle than horses. VI. Copies of several curious letters relating to husbandry, with the author's answers. VII. An account of an excellent new invented horse-break, that plows and houghs all at once. VIII. The Irish and English ways of improving potatoe-plantations. IX. A new account of grass-seeds. X. How arable lands are to be improved by converting them into meadow. XI. How the last new drill-husbandry employs poor men, and eases parish rates. With many other curious, serviceable matters, never before published.
