Download or read book Farm Mechanics written by Fred D. Crawshaw and published by Skyhorse. This book was released on 2012-11-13 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential agricultural text originally published in 1922, Farm Mechanics is exactly that: a detailed but easy-to-understand manual outlining all the important aspects of working the land. The guide is broken up into sections that cover every aspect of farm work, from woodworking and cement-laying to farm machinery repair. Informative and easy to understand, with close to five hundred illustrations and photographs, Farm Mechanics is both a historical reference for those interested in the history of agriculture and a commonsense tool that outlines essential agricultural skills. For those who want to know more about the golden days of farming, there are plenty of details here to paint a vivid picture of early-twentieth-century farming in the United States, accompanied by detailed photos and illustrations of farm equipment and practices in action. But this isn’t just a book of theoretical practices for curious historians either—while some of the skills explained here might admittedly seem inapplicable for modern use (due to advances in technology most farmers aren’t taking the time to learn blacksmithing, for instance), other sections, like cement and concrete or rope and harness work for farm animals, contain tools and advice that are still indispensable to the modern-day farmer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Mechanics: From Tank or Truck to Tractor to the Disabled Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines, to Aid the in Choosing a Vocation As a disabled soldier, sailor, or marine you should remember that the Office of the Surgeon General, War Department, and all its employees, the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, Navy Department, and all its employees, and the Federal Board for Vocational Education and all its employees are mutually interested in your welfare solely. They have arranged a definite plan of cooperation to help you in every possible way. You can not afford to leave the hospital until the medical officers have done everything that they can for you to restore you to physical health and strength. Any other course will interfere with your vocational success later. Furthermore, you should by all means take advantage of the educational opportunities which the hospital has provided for you. While you are making up your mind what line of work you want to follow you should take advantage of the opportunities to try yourself out in the different lines of activities which are provided at the hospital. When once you have made up your mind as to the employment you want to enter or the kind of training you want the Federal Board to give you after you leave the hospital, you should ask the vocational officers at the hospital to provide for you the kind of training which will advance you in the direction of the occupation which you expect to follow or for which you expect to be trained after you leave the hospital. You will find the educational officers at the hospital eager to render this service for you, and you should consult them early in your hospital career. All disabled soldiers, sailors, and marines in hospitals who want information about reeducation should ask any instructor of the Hospital Educational Service or the representative of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. Men discharged from the military or naval service who want information should write to or call at the office of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, Washington, D. C., or the District Office of the Federal Board of the district in which they are located. The district offices of the Board are located at the following points: Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Washington, Atlanta, New Orleans, Dallas, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Talks on Farm Engineering: A Simple Explanation of Many Everyday Problems in Farm Engineering and Farm Mechanics Written in a Readable Style for the Practical Farmer The information set forth in this little volume is gleaned from the experience of a number of years spent in advising and aiding farmers in these matters, and is largely an outgrowth of the material I have printed in the Rural New-Yorker in reply to hundreds of questions from its readers in all portions of America. In a few cases the "talk" is based on articles contributed by me to prominent farm journals of both the United States and Canada, such as Hoards Dairyman, The Field Illustrated, American Cultivator, Northwestern Agriculturist, Kimballs Dairy Farmer, Up-to-date Farming, of the United States, and The Farmes Advocate, The Weekly Sun, The Mail and Empire, and the Manitoba Free Press, of Canada.

Download or read book Farm Animals written by A. B. Graham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Animals: Tillage and Cultivation Harrowing, dragging, rolling, or planking are only continuation processes to pulverize and aerate the soil, to increase the capillarity, preserve the film moisture, and encourage the growth of beneficial soil bacteria by control of soil temperature and ventilation. Harrowing should follow plowing as nearly immediately as possible so that soil moisture may be prevented from escaping, and that the hard parts or clods may be pulverized before they have become hardened by the escape of the soil moisture. Many very successful farmers plow no more soil than can be harrowed the same day. The roller and the planker, because of their weight, press down upon the soil so heavily that the soil parti cles are brought close together, and incidentally crush clods not broken up by the harrow. The harrow or the planker fines the surface. The so-called disc hai row, when set at the proper angle, packs the soil far below the surface and re-establishes capillarity between the plowed and unplowed soil. By packing the subsurface and the surface by the disc har row and the roller or the planker, much can be done to retain soil-moisture and to increase the upward movement of film water. Horses hitched to tillage implements help to compact the soil by walking over it. After the soil has been broken up by plowing, it must be firmed to give root contact and support. Time in preparing a seed-bed is always well spent. The conditions that favor the growth of the desired crop also favor the growth of weeds, which crowd the cereals and take plant food and soil moisture. When the seed-bed is well prepared and the seed, wheat, corn, clover, radish, turnip, etc., - is planted, loss of moisture by evaporation and by weed growth must be prevented and air permitted to enter the soil. Cultivation may begin before the plants have appeared above the surface. Harrowing destroys thousands of young weeds and at the same time breaks any crust which a rain and warm sunshine may have caused. When the corn cultivator is first used, it should be set to cultivate deep to allow air to enter the soil and become thoroughly mixed with it; after root development, the cultivation should be shallow, so shallow that the stirring of the soil means nothing more than the making of a mulch or loose soil blanket that will permit air to enter the soil, but will prevent rapid loss of moisture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Study of Farm Animals During the past decade the subject of agricultural edu cation for our secondary schools and colleges has received much attention. Prior to this period a number of general texts on agriculture for schools, elementary in character, pre pared by men trained in general science or classics, were published. These texts had a limited distribution, partly because Of lack of interest in the subject by teachers and pupils, and partly because of the methods of presentation. These authors saw no way of handling the subject, except ing by a more or less stereotyped style, in which chemistry, or some natural science, furnished the reasoning basis. The establishment of agricultural colleges, equipped with farms, and working laboratories of greenhouses, orchards, gardens, field crops, and stables with their contents of farm animals and utensils, paved the way to a new and interest ing treatment of agricultural subjects. The introduction of popular short winter courses about 1890, was the first im portant step in this direction. Simple laboratory exercises in dairying, horticulture, and live-stock judging, appealed to students, and added much to the popularity of the in struction. As an outgrowth of these has come the great popular movement in America in behalf of agricultural edu cation. Not only the colleges, but many secondary schools have adopted agricultural courses, and some have been equipped with farms and laboratories, where the students are taught the relationship of principles to farm practice.

Many of the events of the first year, which had left no adequate impression of their importance on his memory, crowd upon his observa 'tion in the second, as essential components of recognized operations. A familiar recognition of events tends, in a rapid degree, to enlarge the sphere of experience and to inspire confidence in one's own judgment; and this quality greatly facilitates the acquisition of foresight. Let it not be imagined by those who have never passed through the perplexing ordeals incident to the first year of farming, that I have de scribed them in strong colors, in order to induce to the belief that farming is an art more difficult of attainment than it really is. So far is this from being the case, I may safely appeal to the experience of every person who had attained manhood before beginning to learn farming, whether I have not truly depicted his own condition at the outset of his professional ca reer. So that every young man learning farming must expect to meet with those difficulties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
