THE AMERICAN FARMER
A COMPLETE AGRICULTURAL LIBRARY
WITH USEFUL FACTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD

Original 1882 First Edition of “The American Farmer. A Complete Agricultural Library with Useful Facts for the Household” by Charles L Flint :: Published by Hartford: Ralph H. Park and Co. :: Measures 8 x 11" :: Complete with 851 pages vol. I / 1033 pages vol. II.

GOOD CONDITION: firmly bound, firm hinges, generally clean with some foxing throughout, some closed tears throughout, complete with all pages; overall a great solid set.

Get ready to immerse yourself in this original 1869 Edition of Facts for Farmers, a very attractive black leather bound complete set spanning a whopping 1050 pages of important information for farmers and homesteaders. Throughout, the books contain a variety of topics including domestic animal handling, domestic economy, farm buildings, gardens, orchards, vineyards, crops, tools, fences, and much more. Both volumes are illustrated throughout with numerous engravings.

This work was designed to embody the most practical information upon agriculture, the results of scientific investigation in the laboratory, and of experiment in the field so fully as to make it unnecessary to purchase many books on special topics—a farmer\'s library. Edited by Charles L Flint, he was cofounder and first Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, a lecturer in cattle and dairy farming, and the first secretary of the Massachusetts Agricultural College Board of Trustees. The systematic arrangement of this work into Parts and Departments, with Sub-headings, greatly adds to its utility by making it convenient for ready reference, and invaluable, if not indispensable, to all farmers, and those interested in general agriculture, as well as to fanciers of fine stock of whatever variety or breed.

Domestic Animals

The book remains a relic of the past espousing the virtues of being a farmer and contains many down and dirty tips for advancing one’s own farming education. While many of the contents covered will remain a time capsule into another era, other parts of the book, such that in the domestic section will still be of use to the modern reader.
