Download or read book Farm Live Stock of Great Britain Classic Reprint written by Robert Wallace and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Live Stock of Great Britain Agriculture is an art, or if it be, it is one of such inferior order that it must not be put on the same platform with other arts; although of all arts it is undeniably the oldest and the most widely distributed, as well as the most im portant, the most indispensable, the most interesting, and the most elevating. With another school of philosophers it is not a science, though in each of its varied and numerous branches it involves the most complicated scientific processes. Agriculture can afford to smile at such pedantry, and excuse it on the plea of ignorance, as was done in olden times. She has also the consola tion of knowing that, in spite of the modern philosopher's ingratitude to, and want of appreciation of, Agriculture (in which he contrasts unfavourably with his prototype of Egypt, Carthage, or Rome), yet not a day passes without repeated acknowledgment in deed, if not in word, of his absolute dependence upon her for his very existence; an undeniable proof that in this respect, in spite of all his assumed airs of superiority, the pedantic philosopher is in no superior position to the most humble toiler in the farmyard or the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Colonial Dairying: For School, Farm, and Factory The author of British and Colonial Dairying set himself a somewhat difficult task when he planned to write a book on the subject of dairying that would be equally acceptable and useful in different parts of the Empire. It is true that the principles which apply in the production of milk and in the manufacture of dairy products are the same everywhere, but there are important differences in the methods which are followed in Australasia as compared with the mother country, and it is often difficult to persuade the average dairyman to distinguish between the underlying principles and those things which relate merely to the practice of his art. Having had some personal experience in dairy ing operations in the different countries included in the term British and Colonial, I am ready to say that the author has succeeded admirably in the object which he had in View. The science of dairying is of very recent origin compared with the antiquity of the art, and it is the business of the dairy teacher or writer to apply the lessons of science to everyday practical work.

Download or read book English Farming written by Rowland E. Prothero and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from English Farming: Past and Present English Farming Past and Present is based on an article which appeared in the Quarterly Review for 1885. The article was subsequently expanded into a book, published in 1888 by Messrs. Longman under the title of The Pioneers and Progress of English Farming. The book has been out of print for twenty years. Written with the confidence of comparative youth and inexperience, it expressed as certainties many opinions which might now be modified, if not withdrawn. But its motives were two convictions, which time has rather strengthened than weakened. One was, that the small number of persons who owned agricultural land might some day make England the forcing-bed of schemes for land-nationalisation, which countries, where the ownership of the soil rested on a more democratic basis, repudiated as destructive of all forms of private property. The other was, that a considerable increase in the number of peasant ownerships, in suitable hands, on suitable land, and in suitable localities, was socially, economically, and agriculturally advantageous.

Download or read book Ontario as a Home for the British Tenant Farmer Who Desires to Become His Landlord Classic Reprint written by Arthur S. Hardy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ontario as a Home for the British Tenant Farmer Who Desires to Become His Landlord Emigration continues to engage a large share of public attention. The philanthropist and the statesman regard it as an important factor in their schemes for the well-being of the people. The man of energy recognises in it the opening of new and wider fields for enterprise, and to anyone who aspires to, the possession of an independent home, whether as the reward of industry or at the cost of a moderate outlay of capital, it affords an opportunity for the gratification of his ambition. For generations there has been an unceasing annual outflow of population from the British Isles, and those who were left behind have thereby enjoyed freer scope for the pursuit of material comfort and social progress, for by mitigating the pressure of the ever-swelling numbers who are crowding each other in the battle of life, it has moderated the keenness of home competition. And the emigrants have, by their industry and enterprise, built up new communities rivalling the old in every element that constitutes a nation's greatness and contributes to the happiness of its inhabitants. The rapid growth of these new communities is the most remarkable feature in the history of the present century. A comparison of the record of the British Colonies with that of any European country, not excepting Britain, will Show a progress that equals, if it does not exceed, the ratio of fifty to one in favour of the Colonies in all that goes to make up the material well being of the population. And what is true of the Colonies as a whole is true in a measure of the individuals who have made them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Victorian Review written by H. Mortimer Franklyn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Victorian Review: December 1, 1879 Yet it is Obvious to any intelligence capable Of realising the fact, that two and two make four, that if the result of free trade is to keep down the price Of bread when the harvest is bad in England, it must follow that the farmer is deprived thereby of the power Of recouping himself for the deficiency Of his crop by raising the price Of his produce. We have now had a long succession Of bad harvests, and yet the price Of bread remains substantially unaltered. The explanation is that our markets have been deluged with foreign corn, and that therefore the British grower has been unable to sell at an advance. In other words, unrestricted competition has given the British workman cheap bread by forcing the British farmer to sell corn at cheap prices. What the country gains the farmer loses. There is no disputing this conclusion. As things are, farming - in as far as it is identical with corn growing - is not atrade which can be carried on at a profit. In the halcyon days which followed the repeal Of the corn laws, a vast amount Of land was converted from grazing into corn land. Now, however, corn land is almost unsaleable. TO reconvert it into pasture is an expensive process, and requires an outlay which no tenant is likely to incur. Besides this, farmers are dismal as to the future. N O doubt they can still raise stock to advantage, and can make a fair profit by p'asturage. But already American meat is beginning to compete with home grown meat in our own markets, and a very little improvement in the means Of transport might enable. The foreign grazier to undersell his British competitor as successfully as the foreign corn grower has undersold the British farmer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer's Side: His Troubles and Their Remedy We learn much, and as to a great many things we learn best, by comparison. Contrast impresses the memory and sinks into the heart. If there were nothing white nobody would know that there is anything red or green. If the sky were never blue we would not know that it is ever black or gray. Without pain we would have no conception of pleasure. The sweetness of hope is intensified by the gloom of despair. Looking upon an object without knowledge of other objects with which to compare it, we have no satisfactory method or test of measurement. And this is true of properties and qualities as well as of form, dimension, and color. While any particular thing may be of a certain shape, size, and hue, without reference to the observers capacity for discernment, yet, as to the observer himself, he will measure all these properties by his knowledge of things with which he may properly compare them. A farmers estimate of the quality and value of his products is based upon what he knows of the quality and value of other similar articles with which he compares them. He recognizes the greater worth of improved methods in agriculture in their superiority over other methods with which he was once familiar.

Download or read book Agricultural Organisation Its Rise Principles and Practice Abroad and at Home Classic Reprint written by Edwin A. Pratt and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Organisation Its Rise, Principles and Practice, Abroad and at Home Agricultural Organisation ranks to-day as one of those world movements to which countries great and small throughout the civilised globe are devoting attention, while the fact that in 1913 the members of an American Agricultural Commission made the tour of Europe in quest of information on the subject is but one of many recent developments which might be adduced as evidence of the earnest study now being devoted to a subject that affects so closely the social and economic well-being of the nations. Though, also, based primarily on the principle of combination for the three-fold purposes of production, transport and sale, Agricultural Organisation is concerned directly or indirectly with a wide range of other questions and problems of the day, including those relating to the rural exodus, the settlement of more people on the land, the revival of country life, wages and housing in country districts, the higher cost of living due to (among other causes) the world's increasing consumption of food supplies, and the desirability of reducing so far as is practicable our dependence on foreign imports. The time has thus seemed to be opportune for the re-issue of the present work in a cheaper and somewhat more compact form, the detailed account of "Work Done or Projected" by the Agricultural Organisation Society of England, which occupied considerable space in the first edition, being here omitted; though all the material facts in relation to the "Rise, Principles, and Practice" of agricultural organisation, both abroad and at home, as given in the original edition, have been retained.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farmer in War-Time Another matter which comes illln prominence at this time, when the importance of increased production is so apparent, is the prohibition of the importation of live cattle. Owing to the fear of the introduction of contagious diseases, all cattle arriving in this country have to be slaughtered at the port of arrival, and thus the home breeder of stock is in the enjoyment of an absolutely protected industry. It is very desirable to leave nothing undone to protect our herds from disease, but it must be remembered tnat the effect of the means adopted has been to raise the price of store cattle to a figure which, until the very recent rise in price of fat stock, allowed the feeder no dimct profit at all. The relaxation of the order prohibiting the importation of live cattle would have a very material sheet on the cost of producing meat, but only those in authority can tell whether this might not be attained at too great a risk. Anyhow, it behaves the British breeder not to waste the opportunity by breeding any but the best commercial stock.

For this purpose it was translated into French by M. de la Trehonnais, and so published in Paris. It was then published, with other contributions on analogous subjects, in the journal of the Royal Agricultural Society, and as a separate work in this form. A fourth edition having been called for, the opportunity has been taken to make such emendations as have been rendered necessary by the increasing pressure of foreign competition.
