Overview

Excerpt from Husbandry, Vol. 3: Comprising Reports of Select Farms; Outlines of Flemish Husbandry; Useful and Ornamental Planting; Road-Making; Cottage Economy A system closely pursued, although it may not in all its parts be the best that could be devised, is attended with innumerable advantages. The conductor of 'the business, in this case, can never be under any dilemma in his proceedings. The overseers, and even the labourers, know what is to be done, and what they are capable of doing, in ordinary seasons. The force to be employed may be in due proportion to the work which is to be performed, and a reasonable and tolerably accurate estimate may be made of the product. But when no plan is fixed, when directions flow from day to (lay, the business becomes a mere chaos, frequently shifting, and sometimes at a stand, for want of knowing what to do, or the manner of doing it. Thus is occasioned a waste of time, which is of more importance than is generally imagined. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
