This book contains a classic guide to vintage farming machinery,
including detailed descriptions, explanations, and illustrations of the
machinery treated. It contains information on the various types of
harvesters and other examples of machinery that existed at the time of
publication. This is a fascinating work and is thoroughly recommended
for anyone interested in farm machinery, especially the history and
development thereof. Contents include: "Methods of Harvesting by
Combine", "Main Types of Combine", "The Threshing Mechanism", "Handling
of the Straw", "Choice of Crop Varieties", "Combine Harvester or
Binder", "Combine Harvesters", etc. Many vintage books such as this are
increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are
republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality
edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on
poultry farming.
