Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farm and Household Cyclopædia The purpose of thin volume Lb to supply a toady reference library of useful facts and suggestions for farmers and housekeepers. Within the prescribed limits of the work it would be impossible to present the fullest details of agricultural and kindred sciences, hence the author has deemed it politic to deal mainly with the more practical relations of agriculture and domestic affairs. Such matters as are self-evident and well understood by every practical agriculturist-as for instance the details of the cultivation of the commoner farm product - it has been thought wise to treat upon but meagerly, in order that full scope might be given to practical hints and useful suggestions in all branches of agriculture. The object of the work is not to toll the farmer and the housewife that which they already know, but to present to them valuable information which it is believed cannot fail to be of material assistance in rural homes. In the preparation of the work great care has been taken and no pains have been spared to make it complete in every detail. Consultation of the best authorities insures its reliability, and it is believed that it will be found invaluably by all who become possessed of it, and that it will prove one of those exceptional books which are prized more highly by reason of age and constant association; for it will doubtless be consulted almost daily in the course of rural and household affairs. There is hardly a day in a farmer's life but that some problem arises not easy of solution without a reliable treatise of this kind to consult. Such a want it is the purpose of this volume to supply. The author is well aware that the masses of agriculturists have but little money to waste upon luxuries of any kind, and he is equally confident that the purchase of this book, far from being a waste of his hard earnings, will prove one of the most profitable of investments. Its perusal will develop new ideas, new methods and new theories in every branch of farm labor of incalculable value, and the household department will be found equally as serviceable to tho farmer's wife as will the agricultural department to the farmer. In the compilation of the work we have been largely indebted to the loading agricultural journals of this country and Europe, as well as to many standard works upon agricultural and household topics. Access to extensive files of the former could alone insure completeness in a work of this kind. Entire originality, therefore, we do not claim. We maintain, however, that we have succeeded in producing a work of far greater value than any exclusively original production could possibly be, for we present herein the views of nearly all the ablest writers in the country upon the various topics treated, giving to the people at large tho benefits of their extensive experiment and research.
