In the preparation of the “Book of Farm Management” we have aimed at producing a work of an exhaustive character, dealing in a popular but thoroughly practical manner with every variety of country occupation. In now submitting this work to the public, we feel much satisfaction at having done somethings towards the advancement of an industry connected more intimately perhaps than any other with the prosperity of the nation. The farming industry is of an importance which it would be difficult to exaggerate, and our “Book of Farm Management,” we hope, will be found a compilation in every way worthy of so great a theme…
