This text contains in a concise and systematic form the essential facts
relating to the science and practice of dairy farming. It embodies the
author's twenty years' experience, both as a practical dairyman and as a
student and teacher of dairy husbandry. Technical terms have been
avoided as far as possible in order that the book may serve as a
convenient handbook for farmers not versed in the sciences. The chapters
of this book include: 'Dairy Farming a Profitable Business', 'Evolution
of the Dairy Cow', 'Selection of Dairy Cows', 'Selection of Dairy
Sires', 'Building Up a Dairy Herd', 'Feeding the Dairy Cow', 'Silos and
Silage', 'Method of Keeping Herd Records', and much more. We are proud
to republish this antique text here complete with a new introduction on
cattle farming.
