This early manual is a fascinating read for any farming enthusiast or historian, but also contains much information that is still useful and practical today. An absorbing work that is thoroughly recommended for inclusion on the bookshelf of all farmers. Illustrated with text and full page photographs. Contents Include: How Men Learnt to Farm; Mountain Sheep Farming; Beef from Grass; Down and Wold; The Good Plough-lands; The Fenlands; Milk and Dairy Farming; Turn-about Farming; Poultry and Pigs; Vegetables and Flowers; Farming under Glass; Orchards and Hops; and Woodlands. 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.
