Book excerpt: Excerpt from Science and Practice in Farm Cultivation The facility with which different sorts of roots may be procured can readily be understood from the many varieties, not only of turnip which may perhaps be considered as an original species - but also of swede, which is a hybrid of the turnip and rape plant. Of the former we have more than thirty sorts grown by the farmer, and as many peculiar to the garden whilst there are probably more than twenty well-recognized sorts of Swedes. Of beets, with mangel-wurzel, we have almost as great a variety; so also of carrots. Of parsnips we have fewer varie ties, to which may now be added the new form called the Student parsnip, the growth of which is so interesting that we shall here give a short history of its production, as an illustration of the origin of root crops.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Culture of Farm Crops: A Manual of the Science of Agriculture, and a Hand-Book of Practice for American Farmers Not a farmer of that day, nor a chemist, knew that bones furnished phosphoric acid to plants; or that guano provided in its ammonia the materials from which their gluten and other nitrogenous substances were derived. Indeed the renowned father of agricultural science: Liebig - when he propounded his mineral theory, which was that the ashes of plants contained everything which they drew from the soil, and that if the mineral substances contained in the ashes, were supplied in sufficient quantity to the crops, there would be scarcely a limit to the product, excepting the space in which they were contained - knew nothing about the invaluable nitrogen which we now know to be wholly indispensable to plant growth. But light has grad ually dawned upon us, and by slow and sometimes faltering progress, there has been built up a system of agricultural science which explains the laws of plant growth and affords the most important information to the cultivator of the soil. Science is based upon fact. Philosophy is based upon speculation. Science is the outgrowth of philosophy, be cause before we can reach a true knowledge of any fact we must approach the study of it by a well devised theory, changed as may be necessary, and tested patiently and slowly until the knowledge sought is found. This know ledge, when verified by practice, sufficiently proved and classified, becomes science. Science then is nothing for the farmer to fear, or cast doubt and suspicion upon. Theory as has been said, has no part or lot in it; it is a summary of known facts, and is therefore of the most valuable use to the farmer as it gives him a sound basis upon which to build up such conclusions in regard to his practice as will enable him to meet the various difficulties which are al ways arising in his work.

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 The Culture of Farm Crops: A Manual of the Science of Agriculture, and a Hand-Book of Practice for American Farmers No farmer can be successful in the pursuit of his industry without a knowledge of the principles upon which the practice of it is founded. Every work of the farm has more or less of mystery attached to it. No other art, among all the industries of the human race is so intricate or has so many varying conditions and circumstances environing and affecting it. The soil, the season, the character of the plants grown, the time and manner of their cultivation; the air, water and mineral matters which furnish them with food; and many other things related to these; are all involved in an inextricable maze and mystery to the farmer who knows nothing of them or their relations to and reactions upon each other. But these mysteries are unfolded in the most beautiful and interesting manner, and the laws which relate to the growth of plants are seen to form a system which gradually developes - as the farmer progresses in this study - into form and method from which rules may be laid down for his guidance; or from which he may form his own rules and practice as any emergency may arise. When principles are known and understood, one may form his own practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Farming: A Plain Book on Treatment of the Soil and Crop Production You may ask, Why a new book on Agriculture? Simply because in the numerous books for farmers that have appeared Of late years I know Of none that appeals directly to the man behind the plow in all sections of the country, and tries in the plain language Of the farm to explain many Of the things which the investigations Of scientists have discovered in regard to the treatment Of the soil and the production Of crops. To this effort to explain scientific matters in plain language I have drawn in addition from the experience Of a long life spent in the practical work Of cultivating the soil, and have endeavored to make this a farmers' book on farming, nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps to keep up with the phraseology Of the day, I should call it a treatise on Agronomy. But my Old fashioned notions come in again, and I call it Practical Farming. Agronomy would sound more scientific, but I have not written the book for scientists, and therefore call it by a name that the plain tiller of the soil will under stand.

This book was released on 2017-11-20 with total page 662 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agriculture, Theoretical and Practical: A Textbook of Mixed Farming for Large and Small Farmers and for Agricultural Students These Institutes will find an important place in our educational system, and become the training-ground of the young farmer, and may be expected in the future to cater for a large and increasing number of the sons of smaller farmers, that is those farming from 50 to 200 acres of land. Undoubtedly the coming years must see more and more of an organized system of education and greater attention paid to the thoughtful treatment of the land if it is to provide a living to those engaged in its cultivation, and this can only be secured by the application of exact knowledge: sound practice and reliable theory. This book is also eminently suggestive as to the best methods of applying science to practice. It lays stress upon many problems which are destined to produce far-reaching consequences on fertility, land cultivation, and rural economy. The subjects treated are very numerous, and include, not only cultivation, but such important matters as farm-buildings, book keeping, and the relative merits of grass and arable land. To give in a textbook such 'as this, which is necessarily restricted in size, an idea of farming matters in general, and to provide precise and reliable information on the cultivation and treatment of land, labour, machinery, live stock, dairying, and the many subjects connected with the industry of agriculture, is not an easy undertaking. The authors may claim to have exceptional qualifications for the task. Professor Wrightson, who was for so long a period associated with Downton Agricultural 'college, has established for himself a wide reputation as a sound and practical farmer, While Mr. J. C. Newsham most success fully filled the post of head master Of the Hampshire Farm School and County Lecturer on Agriculture for many years. Both authors may therefore be considered to possess not only the necessary scientific and practical knowledge, but to have had long experience in the needs of agricultural students and small farmers, and in imparting information in a form that is clear, concise, and attractive.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Feeding of Crops and Stock: An Introduction to the Science of the Nutrition of Plants and Animals Even more than for the student, this book is intended for the workaday farmer who wants to get an intelli gent conception of how his cr0ps and stock make their growth. Complex and unknown as many of these processes are, the main outlines are sufficiently estab.' lished to have a bearing upon practice but the practical application can be more surely and readily made if the farmer, with his inside knowledge of the way things can be done, will learn the theory, than by any attempt of the scientific man striving from the outside to get up the working conditions.

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. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Crops, Their Cultivation and Management: A Non-Technical Manual for the Cultivation, Management and Improvement of Farm Crops This book makes a popular appeal to all men engaged in farming, whether amateurs or professionals. It is designed to be a handy reference work on the cultivation and management of farm crops. Technical terms and lengthy discussions have been avoided. Ages of farm experience and a few generations of agricultural research have given us a vast store of practical knowledge on tilling the soil and raising crops. This knowledge is scattered through many different volumes on different phases of the subject, in experiment station bulletins, agri cultural journals and encyclopedias. The important facts on which the most successful farming is based are here brought together in readable form. The subject-matter is arranged in three parts, the first dealing with the various farm crops, their selection and cultivation; the second with the diseases of farm crops and their remedies, insect pests and their control, and insecticides and fungicides; and the third includes valuable tables of agricultural statistics showing the cost per acre of producing farm crops, the fertility of farm produce, percentage composition of agricultural products and so forth. Each department has been prepared by a specialist in the subject presented, and his name appears at the beginning of each chapter. Those unacknowledged have been prepared by myself. References are given here and there to books and pamphlets that may be helpful to the farmer who wishes to have more exhaustive information on specific subjects. The illustrations have been secured from many sources. Due credit has been given these. Special acknowledgment is due the publishers of this volume and the other volumes in the series for their conception and for many helpful suggestions in the presentation of the subject-matter.

Book excerpt: The first collection to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics, and the nature of science together Thanks to breakthroughs in production and food science, agribusiness has been able to devise new ways to grow more food and get it more places more quickly. There is no shortage of news items on hundreds of thousands of hybrid poultry—each animal genetically identical to the next—packed together in megabarns, grown out in a matter of months, then slaughtered, processed and shipped to the other side of the globe. Less well known are the deadly pathogens mutating in, and emerging out of, these specialized agro-environments. In fact, many of the most dangerous new diseases in humans can be traced back to such food systems, among them Campylobacter, Nipah virus, Q fever, hepatitis E, and a variety of novel influenza variants. Agribusiness has known for decades that packing thousands of birds or livestock together results in a monoculture that selects for such disease. But market economics doesn't punish the companies for growing Big Flu—it punishes animals, the environment, consumers, and contract farmers. Alongside growing profits, diseases are permitted to emerge, evolve, and spread with little check. “That is,” writes evolutionary biologist Rob Wallace, “it pays to produce a pathogen that could kill a billion people.” In Big Farms Make Big Flu, a collection of dispatches by turns harrowing and thought-provoking, Wallace tracks the ways influenza and other pathogens emerge from an agriculture controlled by multinational corporations. Wallace details, with a precise and radical wit, the latest in the science of agricultural epidemiology, while at the same time juxtaposing ghastly phenomena such as attempts at producing featherless chickens, microbial time travel, and neoliberal Ebola. Wallace also offers sensible alternatives to lethal agribusiness. Some, such as farming cooperatives, integrated pathogen management, and mixed crop-livestock systems, are already in practice off the agribusiness grid. While many books cover facets of food or outbreaks, Wallace's collection appears the first to explore infectious disease, agriculture, economics and the nature of science together. Big Farms Make Big Flu integrates the political economies of disease and science to derive a new understanding of the evolution of infections. Highly capitalized agriculture may be farming pathogens as much as chickens or corn.
