Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Principles of Agriculture IN the preparation of this elementary work upon the Principles of Agriculture, the author has been desirous of avoiding, as far as possible, the use of technical terms, in cases where other terms in general use would convey the same idea. When it has been necessary to employ such terms, they have been explained in the simplest possible manner, so as to render the book intelligible to all classes of readers. Although the work is strictly elementary, the author has considered it desirable to draw attention to certain points in practice and in theory, which seem to be insufficiently recognized by many of our practical and scientific agriculturists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farming It And it seemed to me that any recital of actual experiences that might possibly deter a person seeking country life as a means of pecuniary profit, from taking the plunge, might perhaps be injudicious. But the more I considered the matter the more I became convinced that the representations of the beautifully illustrated nature-magazines, the seductive stories in Sunday paper supplements, farm and garden pamphlets, seed catalogues, poultry periodicals, pigeon monthlies, and like literature, were a trifle overdrawn, and only too often had the effect of luring the unwary city dweller to forsake the undeniable luxuries and comforts of city life, for the hard, and often, at first, unremunerative labor on a farm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Changes in American Farming This study was undertaken in the belief that a first requisite for intelligent action on our peacetime production problems is an understanding of the nature and strength of the forces that have shaped the course of agricultural production in recent years. These forces will continue to influence production in the years to come. But new forces will be injected. Some of these are already on the horizon - the mechanical cotton picker is an example. Others cannot be foreseen. But constant change must be expected; and agriculture must adapt itself to changes that are inevitable and, for the most part, desirable.

Download or read book My Little Farm Classic Reprint written by Patrick D. Kenny and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Little Farm This is less a handbook in scientific agriculture than a headbook in profitable farming, but it is for both, and for the cultivation of character as essential to cropping. The profit is no longer possible without the science, but the science must either show the profit or remain under suspicion. The expert, working at the Government's expense, can do anything with a plot of half a rood, so long as he is not asked to balance the product against the cost, but the practical farmer wants to see the net profit on a working scale, and he is right, because the final measure of science in all industrial application is the economic value. No other standard can be safely admitted into industrial practice. I have passed severe examinations, written successful books, edited too successful newspapers, lived the life of London, died the death of Ireland and come to life again, on the first day; but I have done no work, lived no life, and filled no place demanding of me so much breadth of knowledge, elasticity of judgment and variety of action as the conduct of a once wretched little farm in the West of Ireland.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Year Book of Agriculture, for 1905 In republishing articles from the Journal in what I trust will be the first of a permanent series of year-books of Agriculture, I feel that an attempt should be made to meet the special claims which the younger generation of farmers have upon the State. The former opportunities of easily obtaining tracts of rich land have passed away, the competition of other States is more keenly felt, and our staple products have to enter the open markets of the world. Every fact, therefore, which helps to increase the efficiency of agriculture under our new conditions is of value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Agriculture in Minnesota In 1859 and 1860, all the grain was handled in seamless sacks; at first they started at 125 bags to a carload then they got up to 140, and, as long as it moved in sacks, 140 sacks was the limit, a little over eight tons to the carload. Later they did without the sacks by building bulk barges, lined on the inside and with cargo boxes with covers over them to keep the grain dry; and in that way it was transported in bulk. Milwaukee was practically the market for all our grain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The work in farm mechanics and management should treat of the mechanical and business phases of agriculture and, as herein outlined, may be introduced easily during the first year of the course. There is good reason to favor the introduction of a more complete course in farm management in the last half of the fourth year, as a general summary of all the work in agri culture. This may well follow a course in agricultural economics, of which it would then become a part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The One Man Farm Classic Reprint written by Warren R. Bailey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-11 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The One-Man Farm The results at first seemed startling, particularly in view of the aggregate statistics on farm size in the United States. But one-man farms this large are already found in many farming communities. At the same time, we would caution the reader, as has the author, that on e-man farms this large require managerial skills well above average, achievable by only a minority of the present and would-be farm operators. And yet in each community there probably are enough farm operators with sufficient managerial skills to provide a steady competitive pressure for buying or controlling farmland as it becomes available for transfer. This is the most significant explanation of why farms in general are becoming larger. The intended audience for this essay is the general public. Professional agriculturalists should be aware that the figures in the examples are generalized and not intended to precisely depict widely varying individual farm situations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Report of the Secretary of Agriculture, 1889 The development of agriculture in the Rocky Mountain districts has been very rapid of late, and is full of promise for the immediate future. Millions of acres are already under irrigation, with results more certain and satisfactory than in States solely dependent on cur rent rain-fall. New enterprises are in progress, and Government sur veys for highland reservoirs have been initiated. Already the value of the products of agriculture on the Pacific coast, if not in Colorado, in the heart of the mountain system, is greater than that of the products of mining. The Division of Statistics, under my direction, is investigating these resources and measuring their development, with all the facilities at its command. The results will surprise the Eastern States with new views of the wealth and progress of the Great American Desert of the recent past.
