Publisher Description: This early work is a fascinating read for any small-holding enthusiast or historian of small-scale farming, which contains a wealth of information that is still useful and practical today. Contents Include: Introduction - The Laws of Nature - Proportional Allocation of the Farm - Flower, Vegetable and Fruit Growing - Manures and Manuring - The Poultry Plant - Milk Production - The Indispensable Goat - Home-grown Pork and Bacon - Some Intensive Side-lines - Horse or Motor-car? - Planning and Erecting the Farm Buildings - Repairs and Renovations - The Ins and Outs of Marketing - Book-keeping As Applied to the Small Farm - Diseases of Farm Stock and their Treatment - and an Index. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork. |
