On the Cultivation and Application of Grasses, Pulse, and Roots - A Guide to the Methods and Equipment of Farming

This volume comprises a guide to the methods and equipment of livestock keeping, with information on the cultivation and application of grasses, pulses, and roots. This thorough treatise offers a wealth of useful and interesting information, and will be of considerable value to modern farmers. Although old, much of the information is timeless, making it a great addition to agricultural libraries - and one not to be missed by the discerning collector. The chapters of this volume include: 'On the Natural Grasses Usually Cultivated'; 'On Artificial Grasses, or Green Forage Crops'; 'On the Corn and Pulse Commonly Cultivated for their Grain or Straw, or as Green Forage'; 'On The 'Root-Crops' Best Adapted for Animal Food', etcetera. We are proud to republish this vintage text, now complete with a new and specially commissioned introduction on farming.
