The complete English farmer [electronic resource], or, a practical system of husbandry, founded upon natural, certain, and obvious principles: in which is comprized, a general view of the whole art of agriculture, exhibiting the different effects of cultivating land, according to the usage of the old and new husbandry. The whole exemplified by a series of suitable management from the first apportionment of a farm from the waste; to the time of perfecting it by proper cultivation in every part. To which are added, particular directions for the culture of every species of grain in common use. And a new method of tillage recommended, partaking of the simplicity of the old husbandry, and of all the advantages of the new. Illustrated with plans of the necessary buildings belonging to a farm house; and an attempt to establish a rule for constructing barns, which may be applied to all dimensions; also, accurate delineations of some newly-invented farming instruments. By a practical farmer, and a friend of the late Mr. Jethro Tull, author of the Horse-hoeing Husbandry.
