J. Prince-Sheldon's "Live Stock in Health and Disease" is a
comprehensive and definitive guide to livestock keeping which deals with
the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and
poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a
section on related veterinary subjects. This profusely-illustrated
handbook will be of considerable utility to farmers and others with a
practical interest in breeding and keeping any type of livestock for
pleasure or profit; and it would make for a fantastic addition to
collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Horse-Breeding in
the British Isles", "Breeding, Breaking and Training Light Horses",
"Oriental Blood-Horses: Arabs, Barbs, Persians, Dongolas, Turcomans",
"The Origin of the Modern British Horse", "History of the English
Broodmare", "The Modern Brood-Horse", etc. Many vintage books such as
this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing
this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete
with a specially-commissioned new introduction on the care and
maintenance of horses.
