You are bidding on the following 12 books all on one CD... 2. Biggle Poultry Book: Treatise On The Management Of Farm Poultry, by Jacob Biggle written in 1917 (174 pages). "This little book is intended to help farmers and villagers conduct the poultry business with pleasure and profit. Its teachings are not drawn from the author's inner consciousness exclusively, but from practical experience, study and observation." 3. A Practical Treatise On Breeding, Rearing, and Fattening all Kinds of Domestic Poultry, Pheasants, Pigeons, and Rabbits: Also The Management of Swine, Milch Cows, and Bees; with Instructions For the Private Brewery, on Cider, Perry and British Wine Making, by Bonington Moubray, Esq. written in 1842 (486 pages). "The small work which I present to the reader, for his use and information, I may presume to style truly practical, since I have, throughout my life, been a breeder and keeper, and also an amateur of domestic poultry, pigeons, and rabbits ; at some periods, upon rather a considerable scale." 4. The People's Farm And Stock Cyclopedia; Farm Stock In All Its Departments, Including The Breeeding, Care, Aand Management Of Horses, Cattle, Hogs, Sheep, Poultry, Bees, etc. ; Foods For Animals; Barns and Barn-Yards; The Diseases Of Horses Aand Live Sock, over 1,000 pages in length! It must ever remain an interesting fact that in the ages most remote of human history, in an epoch long before the Greek and Latin civilizations were planted in Southern Europe, even before the hymns of the Vedas had been chanted in the valley of the Indus, far back in the old Aryan homestead of primitive mankind, the pursuits of our fathers were those of the field, the orchard, and the garden... Though prepared under the chief editorial direction of Waldo F. Brown, it [this book] contains the best efforts of no fewer than ten additional contributors, every one of whom is a specialist in that department of the work which he has prepared." 5. Farm Appliances A Practical Manual, edited by George A. Martin. nearly 250 Illustrations, written in 1888 (200 pages). "The hints and suggestions herein contained are the result of practical experience. It is believed that every farmer, gardener, householder, in fact every one interested in labor-saving contrivances, will find very much of interest and value in this volume." 6. Farm Buildings With Plans And Descriptions, written by Herbert A Shearer, in 1917 (over 200 pages). "I am often asked to give the cost of building a house or barn of a given size and plan, but it is impossible to do so, for the following reasons : In some parts of the country carpenters may be employed at two dollars per day, while in other sections they get seven. One farmer may have a good gravel pit on his farm so he can haul it to the building site at odd times at little or no extra expense. Another farmer, wishing to put up the same kind of building in another county, would pay two dollars per yard for sand or aggregate at the car and haul it several miles. Prices of lumber and other building materials also vary in different parts of the country. Therefore any general estimate would prove misleading." 7. Farm Conveniences: A Practical Hand-Book For The Farm, by Orange Judd Company, written in 1906 . " The volume, herewith presented, abounds in valuable hints and suggestions for the easy and rapid construction of a large number of home-made contrivances within the reach of all. It is an every-day hand-book of farm work, and contains the best ideas gathered from the experience of a score of practical men in all departments of farm labor. Every one of the two hundred and forty pages, and two hundred and twelve engravings, teaches a valuable lesson in rural economy. " Farm Conveniences" is a manual of what to do, and how to do it quickly and readily. " 8. Farm Management, by GF Warren written in 1914 (600 pages)."Successful farming requires good judgment in choosing a farm and in deciding on a type of farming. It demands clear business organization and management for the efficient use of capital, labor, horses, and machinery. It requires good judgment in buying and selling." 9. Garden and Farm Topics, written by Peter Henederson in 1884 (200 pages). "THE demand for special information in a condensed form, on most of the subjects embraced in this work, by hundreds of our patrons each season, is the chief reason for its publication. For example, an inexperienced grower of Cabbages, Celery, or Onions, wishes for information about methods of getting the best crops; another is about to form a Strawberry bed, a lawn, or construct a green-house, and he asks the benefit of my veteran experience. No reply by letter on such subjects can be very satisfactory, and hence the necessity of brief printed instructions, which, I trust, have been as clearly given as the limited space would admit." 10. How To Live In The Country, by EP Powell written in 1911 (300 pages). "In exploiting the positive delights of country life Mr. Powell has no rival. He takes them all in; the beauty, the poetry, the health, independence, and daily interests. There are pitfalls in farm life not the least of which are the exaggerated hopes, inspired by special crops, machinery, pedigreed animals, climate, and market; he leads us into none of these." 11. Sheep Feeding and Farm Management, by Howard Doane in 1912, (100+ pages). " The student desiring to inform himself regarding the most modern and profitable methods for buying, feeding, and marketing sheep, instinctively turns to the literature on the subject. Save for a few bulletins on experimental sheep feeding, he finds that the field has been practically untouched." 12. Sheep Their Breeds, Management and Diseases, by William Youatt in 1891, (162 pages). " As a popular writer, Mr. Youatt has few superiors. A thoroughlypractical man himself, he had the happy ability to render clear to his readers the important facts upon which he writes as they are presented to his own mind. Fond of history, he always gives to historical facts concerning the various breeds a prominent place, reasoning that knowledge of the steps by which any breed has been brought to the condition in which we find it, will enable breeders to follow out a judicious hne of improvement. A veterinary surgeon, he brings a thorough knowledge of anatomy, and of the principles of medicine and surgery as apphed to domestic animals, to aid him in instructing unprofessional men how to breed, rear, and care for their flocks."  12 Practical Classics On One CD!
