in Agriculture, a term used by the farmers for a particular method of sowing before the plough. The corn being cast in a straight line just where the plough is to come, is by this means presently ploughed in. By this way of sowing they think they save a great deal of seed and other charge, a dextrous boy being as capable of sowing this way out of his hat as the most skilful seedsman.

HENTING is also a term used by the ploughmen, and others, to signify the two furrows that are turned from one another at the bottom, in the ploughing of a ridge. The word seems to be a corruption of ending, because those furrows made an end of ploughing the ridges. The tops of the ridges they call veerings.
