Synopsis

Excerpt from Farm Manures

Thirty years ago Orange Judd Company published a little book, written by Joseph Harris, entitled "Talks on Manures," a book which was the most thoroughly practical discussion of the problems relating to the maintenance of soil fertility which had appeared up to that date. Written in a most entertaining style, and from the standpoint of the practical farmer, it has been of incalculable benefit to the agriculture of our country. The book is still abundantly worth reading, and ought to be in the library of every English-speaking farmer.

At the time when this book was written there was, in all the world, just one institution in which the soil had been studied by the method of systematic field experiment for a sufficient length of time to afford data of any scientific value, and Mr. Harris made extensive use of these data - the Rothamsted experiments - in the preparation of his book. It is true that the experiment station at Moeckern had been established at about the same time as the one at Rothamsted; but the German investigations had been directed almost altogether along the line of laboratory research.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
