Book excerpt: When Christ Church was founded in 1546, Henry VIII made the college a generous grant of land and other property. This endowment was large enough to ensure the smooth running of the college and cathedral including maintaining its buildings, educating its students and paying its staff. From earliest days up to the present, the endowment and later gifts - in all parts of the country, from Montgomeryshire to Norfolk and Cornwall to Yorkshire - have been managed with varying success, sometimes expertly, at other times less so. The shelves of the college archives are full of maps and plans, account books, manorial records, deeds, photographs and detailed correspondence with tenants and vicars. Drawing on this rich material, Cows and Curates recounts the history of the management of farms, urban dwellings, commercial property and industrial estates against the backdrop of national social change, legislation, agricultural developments and depressions, wars and modernisation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cattle: Their Management, Treatment, and Diseases It is a common custom to breed from heifers at too early an age; this is to spoil the cow. The heifer should not be under two years old when taken to the bull; and even then it is as well to let her go dry sooner than older cows; indeed, if she be younger, this is imperative for the tax upon the immature animal by the calf she has borne, and the drainage of the milk from the system subsequently, tend to arrest her growth and due development. A young heifer, moreover, cannot be expected to produce a fine calf. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Cowed The Hidden Impact of 93 Million Cows on America s Health Economy Politics Culture and Environment written by Denis Hayes and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-03-09 with total page 397 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From leading ecology advocates, a revealing look at our dependence on cows and a passionate appeal for sustainable living. In Cowed, globally recognized environmentalists Denis and Gail Boyer Hayes offer a revealing analysis of how our beneficial, centuries-old relationship with bovines has evolved into one that now endangers us. Long ago, cows provided food and labor to settlers taming the wild frontier and helped the loggers, ranchers, and farmers who shaped the country’s landscape. Our society is built on the backs of bovines who indelibly stamped our culture, politics, and economics. But our national herd has doubled in size over the past hundred years to 93 million, with devastating consequences for the country’s soil and water. Our love affair with dairy and hamburgers doesn’t help either: eating one pound of beef produces a greater carbon footprint than burning a gallon of gasoline. Denis and Gail Hayes begin their story by tracing the co-evolution of cows and humans, starting with majestic horned aurochs, before taking us through the birth of today’s feedlot farms and the threat of mad cow disease. The authors show how cattle farming today has depleted America’s largest aquifer, created festering lagoons of animal waste, and drastically increased methane production. In their quest to find fresh solutions to our bovine problem, the authors take us to farms across the country from Vermont to Washington. They visit worm ranchers who compost cow waste, learn that feeding cows oregano yields surprising benefits, talk to sustainable farmers who care for their cows while contributing to their communities, and point toward a future in which we eat less, but better, beef. In a deeply researched, engagingly personal narrative, Denis and Gail Hayes provide a glimpse into what we can do now to provide a better future for cows, humans, and the world we inhabit. They show how our relationship with cows is part of the story of America itself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cow This little book does not pretend to be a text book nor a treatise on dairy husbandry, for there are plenty of such books already. It is simply an effort to set down the ideas of a dairyman concern ing his own business and to view the cow as a very interesting animal Who after all these thousands of years of close companionship with man still re tains many primal instincts and many hereditary tendencies. SO we may ask the meaning of Old Winding cow-paths and little calves hidden in the bushes and the tragedy of the herd bull condemned to spend his days tied to a post by a ring in his nose (like Sampson, Old and blind, grinding meal for his conquerers) When his place is to march proudly at the head of his obedient herd.
