Excerpt from Modern Husbandry

MY object in producing this volume has been to provide for the use of the professional and amateur farmer, in fact, for all who are interested in agriculture and agricultural operations, a Manual of Husbandry that should embody the greatest possible amount of information in a succinct and portable form. Many of the larger works lately published on this subject, though exceedingly valuable and complete, appear to me, alike from their price and their voluminous character, unsuited to the wants of the ordinary class of tenant farmers, and to the requirements of those who only follow agriculture as a supplementary pursuit for the profitable occupation of leisure hours. The information contained in the works to which I allude, spread as it is over a large space, is necessarily in some instances burdened with an amount of elaboration which, while it elucidates the subject to the scientific man, would render it obscure to the farmer whose opportunities for reading are usually limited.
