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.

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 ex pense, 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 The Elements of Agriculture: A Book for Young Farmers Before this can be done we must study the char acter of plants, and learn their exact composition. They are not created by a mysterious power, they are merely made up Of matters already in existence. They take up water containing food and other mat ters, and discharge from their roots, or their leaves, or deposit within their pores, those substances that are not required for their growth. It is necessary for us to know what kind of matter is required as food for the plant, and whence it is to be Obtained; this we can learn only through such means as shall separate the elements of which plants are composed.

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.

Download or read book Complete Farmer s Guide written by Edwin Jackson Kyle and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Farmer's Guide: Fundamentals of Farming and Farm Life It was also the purpose of the authors to provide a book that did not stop with giving mere advice about farm prae tices to be memorized by the pupils, but taught first of all the fundamental principles of plant and animal growth and reproduction and of soil management. In this way the pupils are made able to understand the reasons for farm practices and to criticise any old or new practice independently. By emphasizing these far-reaching principles first, the thousand and one details of practice in the study of farm crops and animal husbandry which are later given become a matter for simple reasoning instead of a mere dead weight to be carried in memory. In order still further to develop the powers of observation, exercise the reason, and connect the lessons with the daily life and home needs of the pupils, lists of suggestive questions, exercises, and problems are provided for each subject. It is an astonishing fact that no text-book has given to the work of the farmer girls and farmers' wives more than a pass ing mention. Undoubtedly, the conditions in the country schools make this problem difficult, but it is believed that, with the aid of the experts in domestic economy and rural teaching who generously co - operated, a very valuable be ginning has been made in this text in enabling the school to give somewhat the same preparation for her life work on the farm to the farmer girl that is now given to the farmer boy. We have in general tried to broaden the conception of the course in elementary agriculture from that of a mere treatise on raising plants and animals for sale to that of a means of preparation for living intelligently and happily, as well as profitably, on the farm. It is a great pleasure to express here our appreciation of the assistance generously given by our colleagues in prepar ing this book.

Preface To The Second Edition. The rapid sale of a large edition, and the favourable opinions which have been expressed of its utility, encourage the hope that the "First Principles of Agriculture" has not only been found useful for pupils under instruction in the elementary stage of Agricultural Science, but of value to those who desire to inform themselves on the subject. The alterations which have been made in the Second Edition will probably increase its utility. 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.

Book excerpt: The Anarchist Cookbook will shock, it will disturb, it will provoke. It places in historical perspective an era when "Turn on, Burn down, Blow up" are revolutionary slogans of the day. Says the author" "This book... is not written for the members of fringe political groups, such as the Weatherman, or The Minutemen. Those radical groups don't need this book. They already know everything that's in here. If the real people of America, the silent majority, are going to survive, they must educate themselves. That is the purpose of this book." In what the author considers a survival guide, there is explicit information on the uses and effects of drugs, ranging from pot to heroin to peanuts. There i detailed advice concerning electronics, sabotage, and surveillance, with data on everything from bugs to scramblers.

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.
