Practical science for real farming, with hands‑on experiments and clear how‑tos. A comprehensive text designed for rural and graded schools, it covers the essentials of farming life from soil and crops to livestock, dairying, and road improvement. With step‑by‑step exercises and real‑world examples, this book helps students apply scientific ideas to everyday agriculture.

This edition surveys soil formation, manuring, irrigation, crop growth, and plant care, then moves to animals, milking, and milk products. It includes practical guidance on road building, landscape gardening, and farm management, all written in accessible language for classroom use.
