Excerpt from Practical Talks on Farm Engineering
The information set forth in this little vol ume is gleaned from the experience of a number of years spent in advising and aiding farmers in these matters, and is largely an outgrowth of the material I have printed in the Rural new-yorker in reply to hundreds of questions from its readers in all portions of America. In a few cases the talk is based on articles contributed by me to prominent farm journals of both the United States and Canada, such as Hoard's Dairyman, The Field Illustrated, American Cultivator, Northwestern Agriculturist.
