Overview

This is the fourth part of f J. Prince-Sheldon's Live Stock in Health and Disease , which covers in detail the breeding and management of horses, cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, and poultry. It also contains chapters on dairy farming, as well as a section on related veterinary subjects. This instalment concentrates on sheep and agronomy-which refers to the science and technology of producing and using plants for food, fuel, fibre, and land reclamation. This particular volume will be of considerable utility to sheep farmers, and it would make for a fantastic addition to agricultural collections. Contents include: Soils and Climates Suitable for Dairying , Draining , Manuring and Treatment of the Soil , Forage Plants and Weeds , Hay-Making , Co-Operative Dairying in England , Breeds and Breeding , Feeding and Treatment of Sheep , The Management of a Typical Breed of Sheep , etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on agriculture and agronomy.
