in the field of agricultural science john mills was a proponent of a new movement named "horse-hoeing husbandry" or "new husbandry". this was based on the work of jethro tull, and supported by henri-louis duhamel du monceau in france, michel lullin de chateauvieux in switzerland, mills in england. mills translated their work, and introduced it in england, wherein for example arthur young learned about the work of louis françois henri de menon. in return mills's main work "a new and complete system of practical husbandry" was translated into german, and had its influence in the main land.
