Examples

“In ancient times there were men who were such excellent husbanders of their time that they tried even in death to taste and relish it and strained their minds to see what their passage was; but they have not returned to tell us news of it […]”
“By 1840, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia (the part of the state that’s now West Virginia, in particular) held most of the South’s sheep. With larger flocks and more customers, husbanders soon developed sheep breeds that could produce plentiful, quality wool for most of their lives, then be turned into decent enough meat at the end.”
