AUSTRALIAN FARMER'S
PRACTICAL HANDBOOK  Look at the Contents! A Great Insight Into How Things were Done... and Some Useful Ideas! "In compiling this book, I have endeavoured to keep to things which will be of use to country people. I know there may be much contained herein which will be open to criticism by experienced men. I do not wish to say that my way is best, as, after 25 years of practical farm and station experience, I do not think any man can lay down rules for working to suit more than his own particular district and appliances, but I have to the best of my ability gathered and concocted tables and receipts, some of which I am sure the most experienced farmer will find useful at times."J. T. ELMS.        Plus Two Bonus Books:
1. Settler's Guide and Farmer's Handbook of Western Australia, written in 1897 As will be seen on perusal, Part I. consists chiefly of a description of the agricultural areas and Crown lands open for selection, with an account of the early settlement and progress of the pastoralists and agriculturists of the colony. An endeavor has been made it is to be hoped not unattended with success to write a plain, unvarnished tale, and yet in such language as to make it interesting even to those whose thoughts are not on settlement bent. The early history of Western Australia and its pastoral pioneers is most interesting, but not nearly so interesting as the country itsel as we know it now, when every dawn discovers new features, and each succeeding day discloses new avenues for industrial enterprise, and offers renewed encouragement to the able-bodied, active, capable settler, whether miner, farmer, or mechanic, to "go in and win." 2. The Sheep and Wool Industry of Australasia: A Practical Handbook For Sheep Farmers and Wool-Classers with capters on Woolbuying and Selling, Sheepskins and Kindred Products, written by Henry B. Smith "WHAT a history of fascinating romance surrounds the sheep and wool industry ! It is woven into every department of our national and social life. It is Australia's and was once the main source of England's national wealth, for woollen goods at the beginning of the eighteenth century formed two-thirds of England's exports. The trade in wool has caused great wars and, what is more, has paid for them, which cannot be affirmed by many persons and things that have brought about international bloodshed. For centuries it was the pivot on which much diplomatic and political intrigue revolved, and kings and statesmen thought and dwelt in sheep and wool. Australia is at the present time the leading sheep and woolgrowing country in the world ; it owes this position to the early pioneers who, with indomitable grit and courage, faced the Blacks, the droughts, the loneliness, and other dangers of the Australian bush, that only the stoutest hearts could survive."
