Markhams farwel to husbandry: or, The enriching of all sorts of barren and sterile grounds in our nation, to be as fruitful in all manner of grain, pulse, and grass, as the best grounds whatsoever : Together with the annoyances, and preservation of all grain and seed, from one year to many years. As also a husbandly computation of men and cattels daily labours, their expences, charges, and utmost profits. Now newly the ninth time revis'd, corrected and amended, together with many new additions, and cheap experiments: for the bettering of arable pasture, and woody grounds: of making good all grounds again, spoiled with over-flowing of salt water by sea breaches; as also the enriching of the hop-garden. And many other things never published before.
