APPENDIX I

A PLOWMAN'S DAY

This is an extract from Markham's _Farewell to Husbandry, or the
Enriching of all Sorts of barren and Steril grounds in our Kingdome_,
a well-known book on farming as carried on in England in the early
years of the 17th century; it is presented here in order to show what
the daily tasks of a farmer were at that time, and what might be
expected, according to this standard, of a settler coming to
Virginia. The author, Gervase Markham, issued several editions of the
work. This extract is from the fourth edition, printed in 1638, of
which a title-page is reproduced in this booklet, from the copy in
the William and Mary College Library. Markham's book has an
additional interest, for the reason that in the supplies sent by ship
_Supply_ in 1620 to Berkeley Hundred, a copy of the current edition
was included.

Having thus generally runne over (in a short computation) the
labours of the husbandman, I will now briefly as I can, goe over
the particular daies labours of a farmer or plowman, shewing the
particular expence of every houre of the day, from his first
rising, till his going to bed, as thus for example: We will
suppose it to be after Christmas, and about plow-day (which is
the first letting out of the plough) and at what time men either
begin to fallow, or to break up pease earth, which is to lie to
bait, according to the custome of the country; at this time the
