De Agricultura (Com. ILR. 32)
       On agriculture

Agricola est, qui agrum colit, proventuque annonae se sustentat.
       A farmer is someone who tills the ground and supports himself on the produce of his annual yields.

Cui fundi et praedia conducticia ad tempus praefinitum / praestitutum certa mercede locantur, manceps est;  cui villa creditur, villicus et colonus est.   colonus partiarius fundi fructus cum domino partitur.
     The person to whom rented land and lots are leased at a particular rent / price for a predetermined time is a tenant.  The person to whom a farm house [is rented] is a bailiff and a farmer.  A share-cropper divides the produce of the farm with the landlord.

Arvum subactum et a caespitis radicibus repurgatum, ut sit fecundius / uberius ante sementem stercoratur fimo vel marga.
     A field ploughed and cleared of ground-roots is fertilized with manure or marl before seeding, so that it might be more productive.

Novale et vervactum et requietus ager ex cessatione feracior est recibili :  qui, quantumvis fertilis atque uberrimus, e frequente cultura sterilescit / fit effetus.  
      Virgin and fallow land and a field that has been given a rest is more productive from the intermission of planting than that which is tilled yearly, which, however fertile and fruitful it may be, grows unproductive and worn-out from frequent cultivation.   

Araturus iungit aratro boves, non funibus aut restibus, sed iugo. 
       A person who intends to break the ground couples oxen to his plough, not with ropes or cords, but with a yoke.

Tum agitans et stimulo incitans / concitans subarat (effringit), iterat, tertiat, seminat et occat per liras et versuras. 
        Then driving [the oxen] and spurring [them] on with a goad, he makes an initial furrow, goes over it a second time, furrows a third time, scatters the seed and harrows the ridges [ i.e. the earth thrown up between the furrows] and the turnings [i.e. the earth thrown up at the ends of the furrows]. 

Inter lirandum vero altera tenet stivam, ne deliret, altera rallam;  et culter / dentale cum vomere, vuri / burae indito, proscindit sulcos, donec absolvatur iugerum. 
       But while ridging the land he holds the plough-stilt with one hand, lest he deviate from the balks, and the plough-staff with the other;  and the culter with the plough-share fastened into the plough-beam cut the furrows until the acre [R: the day's work] is completed.

Porca fit transversim ad derivandum uliginem. 
       A cross-water furrow is made transversely / crosswise to divert moisture.

Occam in argilloso solo ferreis stylis confixam esse oportet, in sabulosa / arenosa ligneis satis est.
       In clay soil a harrow should be fastened with iron tines;  in sandy soil it is sufficient [to fasten it] with wooden tines. 

Ubi segetes fruticescunt / fruticantur, periculum est ne tempestas calamitatem inferat.  ne vero zizaniis et nigellastro silvescat, aut ab aphace suffocetur, sarritione / runcatione opus est.
      As soon as the crops sprout / shoot up, there is a risk that a storm might damage them.  Weeding is required in case [the field] run wild with darnel and cockle, or be choked with tares.   

Cum messis adest, messores falce metunt, manipulatimque disponunt. 
     When it is time for the harvest the harvesters reap with a scythe / sickle and arrange [the harvest] in bundles.

Colligunt postmodum in mergites, quos colligant tomicibus, superante in campo stipula ac spicilegio.
         A little later they gather it into sheaves, which they bind with cords, the stubble and gleanings remaining in the open field.   

Tum vehibis in horrea convehunt , vel acervos congerunt. 
       Then they take it into the barns by cart loads, or pile it in hay-stacks.

Tritores in area flagello triturant et extundunt -- quondam tribulabant tribula -- linquuntur stramina et acera. 
      The threshers thresh and beat it out on the barn floor with a flail -- at one time they used to thresh it with a threshing cart.  The straw and the husks are left behind.

Exinde subiactant aliquantisper / aliquamdiu ventilabro ut separetur secernaturque palea.
       After that they winnow it for a while with a winnowing fan so that the chaff may be separated and sifted out.

Siquid sordium adhuc superest, cribro cernunt / cribrant ut repurgetur et fiat frumentum, quod granariis et cumeris infertur;  rutello, ne mucescat, corruitur;  et dimensum, radio aequatur.
        If there still remains any impurities, they sift [the grain] through a sieve that it may be cleaned and become finished grain, which is transferred to granaries and storing bins, heaped together with a shovel, so that it doesn't become mouldy, and when it has been measured, it is leveled / evened out with a strickle.


Agriculture:  from the Orbis Pictus
     
 Arator iungit boves aratro et, tenens laeva stivam, dextra rallam, qua amovet glebas, terram scindit vomere et dentali antea fimo stercoratam facitque sulcos. 
        The ploughman yokes oxen to the plough and, holding the plough-stilt with his left hand and the plough-staff with his right (with which he removes the clods), cuts the earth (manured beforehand with dung) with his plowshare and coulter, and makes furrows.

Tum seminat semen et inoccat occa
      Then he sows the seed and harrows it with a harrow.

Messor metit fruges maturas falce messoria, colligit manipulos et colligat mergetes
     The reaper mows the mature crops with a reapers sickle.   He gathers the bundles and binds the sheaves.

Tritor in area horrei triturat frumentum flagello / tribula, jactat ventilabro, atque, ita separata palea et stramine, congerit in saccos.
        The thresher threshes the grain on the barn floor with a flail, tosses it in a winnowing basket and, when the chaff and straw are thus separated, he collects it in sacks.

Faeniseca in prato facit faenum, desecans gramen falce faenaria, corraditque rastro, componit acervos furca, et convehit vehibus in faenile.
