es of good and bad husbandry are, so that he may be able
of himself to know and judge the same. Of Cattle-husbandry too, and the
affairs of Brewing (VIEHZUCHT UND BRAUWESEN), the due understanding
to be given him; and in the matter of Brewing, show him how things are
handled, mixed, the beer drawn off, barrelled, and all how they do
with it (WIE UBERALL DABEI VERFAHREN); also the malt, how it must be
prepared, and what like, when good. Useful discourse to be kept up with
him on these journeys; pointing out how and why this is and that, and
whether it could not be better:"--O King of a thousand!--"Has liberty to
shoot stags, moorcocks (HUHNER) and the like; and a small-hunt [KLEINE

and then;" furthermore "a little duck-shooting from boat," on the sedgy
waters there,--if the poor soul should care about it. Wolden, or one of

or FRAUENSMENSCH," no shadow of womankind;--"keep an eye on him, you

yourself what kind of land it is, whether it can only grow rye, or
whether some of it is barley-land: you must consider it YOURSELF, and
do it all out of your own head, though you may consult with others about
it. In grazing-ground (HUTHUNG) I think it will not fail; if only the
meadow-land"--in fact, it fails in nothing; and is got all done ("wood
laid out to season straightway," and "what digging and stubbing there
is, proceeded with through the winter"): done in a successful and
instructive manner, both Carzig and Himmelstadt, though we will say
nothing farther of them. [Forster, i. 387-392.]

CUSTRIN, 22d SEPTEMBER (Crown-Prince to Papa).... "Have been at Lebus;
excellent land out there; fine weather for the husbandman." "Major
Roder," unknown Major, "passed this way; and dined with me, last
Wednesday. He has got a pretty
