Description
Farmer's Progress
Author: George Henderson
Hard cover with dust jacket - fair condition.
This is a blunt, outspoken book by a man who has made his own way on the land, and who would share his knowledge with others, that they too might achieve a sturdy independence in the most worth-while of all occupations, the cultivation of the soil and all that goes with it. All though the books runs the true peasant philosophy - belief in the ultimate values, the worth of the individual, the rewards of hard work, tenacity of purpose, and simple living. Mr Henderson also calls for a return to old beliefs allied to new learning, and without in any way becoming sentimental or romantic drives home, again and again, the means by which success may be achieved on the land; his message could indeed be equally applied to many walks of life. At the time same time, Farmer's Progress makes a direct contribution to knowledge in the chapters on the stocking, cropping, and management of farms, and in the wider field of pedigree stockbreeding. All the valuable information which the book contains is based on the author's own experience in building up one of the most intensively stocked and cropped farms in the country, on which his theories have been proved tie and time again.
