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.

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.
