Opis

Originally published 1886. This fascinating and well illustrated farming book contains advice on every aspect of small scale farming. Contents Include: Culture of Crops - Management of Cattle - Poultry - Pigs - Farm Records - Ensilage System - Equipment and Implements - Butter and Cheese Making - Construction of Building etc. Many of the earliest farming books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

This antique volume constitutes an introduction to modern farm practice for small-scale agriculturalists. It includes information on the culture of crops; the feeding of cattle; the management of the dairy, poultry, and pigs; the keeping of farm work records; the ensilage system, construction of silos and other farm buildings; the improvement of neglected farms... and more. The book is based on the authors continued personal, practical observation of, and connection with, the work of such farms. This text was originally published in 1886, and is proudly republished now complete with new introductions on sheep, poultry, and cattle farming.
