How The Farm Pays PDF Download

Excerpt from How the Farm Pays: The Experiences of Forty Years of Successful Farming and Gardening It is doubtful if any book on agriculture has ever been written in this country of which the writers have had opportunities for such extensive and varied experience as have the authors of this work. William Crozier is, perhaps, now better known than any other farmer on this continent, principally from the fact that for the past twenty years the exhibition of his fine stock and other farm products has enabled him to take more prizes than any other working farmer in the country, and that to-day the dairy and farm at Northport, I. I., on which these products have been raised, are models worthy of imitation by the tens of thousands engaged in farming who have failed to make it the profitable business that it has been, and still continues to be, to Mr. Crozier. The co-author, Peter Henderson, the senior member of our firm, although not a farmer, has long been considered, as is well known, an authority on all matters relating to practical garden work. His book, Gardening for Profit, now in the hands of probably 100,000 readers, has shown how to make gardening pay. In the present work Mr. Henderson tells in plain words the manner of growing such Vegetables and Fruits as can best be made profitable on the farm, besides interchanging with Mr. Crozier his opinions on such operations of the farm as his long practice in cultivating the soil enables him to do.
