Publisher's Synopsis
This antiquarian book contains a guide to the methods and equipment of farming, with a special focus on manures in general and their application to crops. Written in clear, simple language and full of practicable information and useful tips, this text will greatly appeal to modern farmers, and makes for a worthy addition to collections of agricultural literature. The chapters include: 'On Natural Manures'; 'On Artificial Manures'; 'Manuring by Means of Stock'; 'Farm-Yard Manure'; 'On The Application of Dung, Composts'; 'On The General Application of Artificial Manures'; 'On the Application of Lime, Chalk, Marl, etc.', and much more besides. Many antique books such as this are increasingly hard to find and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this volume - now in an affordable modern edition, complete with a new introduction on farming.
