This volume comprises a guide to the methods and equipment of livestock
keeping, with information on the cultivation and application of grasses,
pulses, and roots. This thorough treatise offers a wealth of useful and
interesting information, and will be of considerable value to modern
farmers. Although old, much of the information is timeless, making it a
great addition to agricultural libraries - and one not to be missed by
the discerning collector. The chapters of this volume include: 'On the
Natural Grasses Usually Cultivated'; 'On Artificial Grasses, or Green
Forage Crops'; 'On the Corn and Pulse Commonly Cultivated for their
Grain or Straw, or as Green Forage'; 'On The 'Root-Crops' Best Adapted
for Animal Food', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text,
now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on
farming.
