Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Soil of the Farm
The improvement of the soil by drainage and irriga tion, and by liming - the maintenance of its fertility by the operation of our tillage implements - its exhaustion by cropping, and its restoration by manuring - are the proper subjects of these pages. The resources of the farmer, in the economy of home manures and in the use of manufactured and imported fertilizers, are considered in detail.
