Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Types and Breeds of Farm Animals The need for such a volume as this will no doubt be best expressed by a demand for it on the part of live-stock students. The author, however, desires to call attention to the fact that not since 1888 has a volume devoted to the breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, and swine been published in America. The most recent work devoted to the breeds entirely omitted a considera tion of the horse. Further than this but very few books have thus far been published in the English language that have been strictly breed studies. This book differs somewhat from others that have preceded it. A number of breeds have received recognition for the first time, these being the ass, the mule, the angora and milch goats, all animals of importance in certain localities. The more important or better known breeds have received more detailed considera tion than those which may be regarded as the lesser known, and have been so ranked in the make-up of the book. In numerous instances much new historical information has been gathered. During the past twenty years a great amount of evidence bear ing on breed merit has been secured at the agricultural experi ment stations, at expositions, on race courses, and at fair grounds. In the breed reviews in this work much of this recent evidence is given a place. Brief consideration is also given to some of the more important foundation families or tribes, and to individual animals that have made a deep impression upon the breed. The author has taken the liberty of commenting on the weak as well as on the strong points of the breeds, but this has been done in a nonpartisan spirit, in harmony with the views of capable critics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hints on the Breeding and Rearing of Farm Animals The Author of the following "Hints on the Breeding and Rearing of Animals" had the privilege of reading a paper on the subject in the summer of 1886 to the Fife Farmers' Club. The members present at the meeting expressed a unanimous wish that the paper should be published, and with this wish the author has now (though somewhat late) the pleasure of conforming, but in doing so he has thought it advisable to interpolate (where in his opinion it was advantageous to do so) remarks made by him in other addresses and papers published on various occasions during the last few years. These interpolations are enclosed in brackets. The author, in view of the large amount of public attention recently directed towards the subject, has materially extended his original remarks on abortion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Common Sense Treatment of Farm Animals Now when we apply this knowledge to the maintenance of health what do we find? Simply this - that a class of food that will enable a mother to make milk in fair quantity is a health preserving food. And when we feed a young and growing animal on a class of food which if it were fed to a nursing mother would not enable her to convert it into milk we are feeding that young animal a class of'food that will stunt its growth from a lack of prophr nourishment, overtax its digestive organs by taking into its stomach a surplus of bulky substance that weakens its digestion, and cause it to become an animal subject to intestinal disease on slight provocation. With insufficient food nutrients we have a weak muscular system, weak ligaments of the joints, and some. Times a bony structure lacking\in strength. Thus it is we find many animals of superior breeding that grow up weaklings. They were well born and started well in life on the milk of the mother. When such animal is a foal it grows a beauty so long as it remains with the mother, nurses her and learns to eat the class of food with her that she is manufacturing into milk for it. 'but what a change sometimes follows when this little beauty is weaned from its mother, and furnished the class of food its owner ignorantly feeds it. The same rule holds good regarding the raising of a calf or a-pig when weaned from the mother'and deprived of the mother's milk at a tender age. When the 'food given the young animal after weaning is of a character widely di erent from the analysis of milk trouble follows in the form of a weakened digestion, with the result of sudden death, or a worth less beast either as a work horse, a dairy cow, or a fattening animal.
