I've been reading this on & off for ages. Mom sent it to me, a nifty find that she thought would interest me. It does, in small doses. It is a book of with hundreds of handy tips to the farmer of a lost age, the mid to late 1800s, I'd guess. It starts out with "A Bin For Oats" & ends with "Rack, A Sheep". In between are all sorts of nifty things like how to make cheap wagon seats, a hint for pig-killing, & plowing gear for a kicking mule. IOW, even the table of contents is a really interesting look into the past.
Some are fairly horrifying such as:
- A wooden floor for a stable. I dealt with one after a pony was badly injured by it. The rat tunnels weren't nearly as scary as what it does to equines when it gets old.
- A trap for sheep-killing dogs: ... while the dog is imprisoned. We need not suggest any method for dealing with the prisoner, as there are many, more or less effective, which will suggest themselves. OK, not all the horrifying, just sad when it comes to this pass.
According to the title page, my edition is a 1908 printing with 'Two hundred and twelve illustrations' by New York, the Orange Judd Company. No author listed, but the next page says it was "Entered, according to the Act of Congress, in the year 1884, by the Orange Judd Company, In the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington. When searching for this, I came up with a lot of very similar books. None seemed to have any reviews nor descriptions. Some listed an author & all were late reprints. If I was a better librarian here, I might be able to clear this mess up. Unfortunately, I'm not.
