Excerpt from Science and Practice in Farm Cultivation The facility with which different sorts of roots may be procured can readily be understood from the many varieties, not only of turnip which may perhaps be considered as an original species - but also of swede, which is a hybrid of the turnip and rape plant. Of the former we have more than thirty sorts grown by the farmer, and as many peculiar to the garden whilst there are probably more than twenty well-recognized sorts of Swedes. Of beets, with mangel-wurzel, we have almost as great a variety; so also of carrots. Of parsnips we have fewer varie ties, to which may now be added the new form called the Student parsnip, the growth of which is so interesting that we shall here give a short history of its production, as an illustration of the origin of root crops.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Culture of Farm Crops: A Manual of the Science of Agriculture, and a Hand-Book of Practice for American Farmers Not a farmer of that day, nor a chemist, knew that bones furnished phosphoric acid to plants; or that guano provided in its ammonia the materials from which their gluten and other nitrogenous substances were derived. Indeed the renowned father of agricultural science: Liebig - when he propounded his mineral theory, which was that the ashes of plants contained everything which they drew from the soil, and that if the mineral substances contained in the ashes, were supplied in sufficient quantity to the crops, there would be scarcely a limit to the product, excepting the space in which they were contained - knew nothing about the invaluable nitrogen which we now know to be wholly indispensable to plant growth. But light has grad ually dawned upon us, and by slow and sometimes faltering progress, there has been built up a system of agricultural science which explains the laws of plant growth and affords the most important information to the cultivator of the soil. Science is based upon fact. Philosophy is based upon speculation. Science is the outgrowth of philosophy, be cause before we can reach a true knowledge of any fact we must approach the study of it by a well devised theory, changed as may be necessary, and tested patiently and slowly until the knowledge sought is found. This know ledge, when verified by practice, sufficiently proved and classified, becomes science. Science then is nothing for the farmer to fear, or cast doubt and suspicion upon. Theory as has been said, has no part or lot in it; it is a summary of known facts, and is therefore of the most valuable use to the farmer as it gives him a sound basis upon which to build up such conclusions in regard to his practice as will enable him to meet the various difficulties which are al ways arising in his work.

Excerpt from My Little Farm This is less a handbook in scientific agriculture than a headbook in profitable farming, but it is for both, and for the cultivation of character as essential to cropping. The profit is no longer possible without the science, but the science must either show the profit or remain under suspicion. The expert, working at the Government's ex pense, can do anything with a plot of half a rood, so long as he is not asked to balance the product against the cost, but the practical farmer wants to see the net profit on a working scale, and he is right, because the final measure of science in all industrial application is the economic value. No other standard can be safely admitted into industrial practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Culture of Farm Crops: A Manual of the Science of Agriculture, and a Hand-Book of Practice for American Farmers No farmer can be successful in the pursuit of his industry without a knowledge of the principles upon which the practice of it is founded. Every work of the farm has more or less of mystery attached to it. No other art, among all the industries of the human race is so intricate or has so many varying conditions and circumstances environing and affecting it. The soil, the season, the character of the plants grown, the time and manner of their cultivation; the air, water and mineral matters which furnish them with food; and many other things related to these; are all involved in an inextricable maze and mystery to the farmer who knows nothing of them or their relations to and reactions upon each other. But these mysteries are unfolded in the most beautiful and interesting manner, and the laws which relate to the growth of plants are seen to form a system which gradually developes - as the farmer progresses in this study - into form and method from which rules may be laid down for his guidance; or from which he may form his own rules and practice as any emergency may arise. When principles are known and understood, one may form his own practice. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Practical Farming: A Plain Book on Treatment of the Soil and Crop Production You may ask, Why a new book on Agriculture? Simply because in the numerous books for farmers that have appeared Of late years I know Of none that appeals directly to the man behind the plow in all sections of the country, and tries in the plain language Of the farm to explain many Of the things which the investigations Of scientists have discovered in regard to the treatment Of the soil and the production Of crops. To this effort to explain scientific matters in plain language I have drawn in addition from the experience Of a long life spent in the practical work Of cultivating the soil, and have endeavored to make this a farmers' book on farming, nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps to keep up with the phraseology Of the day, I should call it a treatise on Agronomy. But my Old fashioned notions come in again, and I call it Practical Farming. Agronomy would sound more scientific, but I have not written the book for scientists, and therefore call it by a name that the plain tiller of the soil will under stand.

Excerpt from Fruit Farming: Practical and Scientific, for Commercial Fruit Growers and Others New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still, and onward, Who would keep abreast of truth. Lowell. When originally invited by the Editor of the Fruit, Flower and Vegetable Trades' Journal to write a series of articles on Fruit Farming for that publication, to be subsequently supplemented and issued in book-form as a reliable text-book for the industry, I felt it would be somewhat too heavy a responsibility for my individual efl'ort. However, talking the matter over with a friend (one of the best cultivators and most successful fruit growers in Kent). He said: We fruit growers are too busy with raising and selling our produce to write books, but if I can help you by telling you anything I will at any time gladly do so. Encouraged by this offer of assistance, I entered upon the task, and with the help of gentlemen recognised as authorities in the practice and in the science of the industry, I have endeavoured to give details of the best methods of management and practice, together with advice based on some ten years' personal experience of the pleasures, difficulties and anxieties of fruit farming at Highlands, Swanley, Kent. Various work and visits had taken me into most of the fruit-growing districts of Kent and other counties, and again I have to thank many growers for so kindly showing me their plantations and patiently answering my numerous questions. Previously, in delivering courses of lectures on Fruit Growing and Insect Pests for the Worcestershire Chamber of Agriculture at eleven different centres, I had taken the opportunity of visiting the principal fruit - growing districts in that beautiful county. A year spent among the fruit growers of the Cornwallis Valley, in Nova Scotia, Canada, enabled me to observe the good work of the Nova Scotian Fruit Growers' Association, its conferences, its fruit growing school for students and farmers (which I attended during the winter), its public demonstrations in pruning and spraying, and the spirit of co - operation which inspires the fruit growers of the province to work together for their mutual advancement; it also showed me the benefit of the telephone on the farm and the packing house at the railway depot. What I saw convinced me that, although the best English fruit plantations are probably as well managed as any in Canada or the usa, the majority of the fruit plantations and orchards in England are not as good as the average of those countries, where the growers are by nature progressive, the surroundings and climate helping to make them so. Iwas much struck at the time by the excellent bulletins issued by the agricultural experiment stations and by the Provincial Government departments. However, now our own Ministry of Agricul ture has an excellent series of leaflets on fruit cultivation, insects, diseases, etc., which all fruit growers or intending growers will do well to read, mark and learn. In these strenuous times home growers, in order to maintain pre - eminence in our own markets, must work shoulder to shoulder and cease to look upon their immediate neighbours as competitors, but rather as brothers with common interests. For this second edition the whole work has been carefully revised and in many cases rewritten. Several specialists have kindly contributed valuable chapters, as will be noted by a glance at the Table of Contents. I sincerely hope the book will help the monetary side of fruit growing, and also add interest from the many points of view from which the subject is dealt with cecil henry hooper.

Excerpt from Farm Crops, Their Cultivation and Management: A Non-Technical Manual for the Cultivation, Management and Improvement of Farm Crops This book makes a popular appeal to all men engaged in farming, whether amateurs or professionals. It is designed to be a handy reference work on the cultivation and management of farm crops. Technical terms and lengthy discussions have been avoided. Ages of farm experience and a few generations of agricultural research have given us a vast store of practical knowledge on tilling the soil and raising crops. This knowledge is scattered through many different volumes on different phases of the subject, in experiment station bulletins, agri cultural journals and encyclopedias. The important facts on which the most successful farming is based are here brought together in readable form. The subject-matter is arranged in three parts, the first dealing with the various farm crops, their selection and cultivation; the second with the diseases of farm crops and their remedies, insect pests and their control, and insecticides and fungicides; and the third includes valuable tables of agricultural statistics showing the cost per acre of producing farm crops, the fertility of farm produce, percentage composition of agricultural products and so forth. Each department has been prepared by a specialist in the subject presented, and his name appears at the beginning of each chapter. Those unacknowledged have been prepared by myself. References are given here and there to books and pamphlets that may be helpful to the farmer who wishes to have more exhaustive information on specific subjects. The illustrations have been secured from many sources. Due credit has been given these. Special acknowledgment is due the publishers of this volume and the other volumes in the series for their conception and for many helpful suggestions in the presentation of the subject-matter.

Excerpt from The Feeding of Crops and Stock: An Introduction to the Science of the Nutrition of Plants and Animals Even more than for the student, this book is intended for the workaday farmer who wants to get an intelli gent conception of how his cr0ps and stock make their growth. Complex and unknown as many of these processes are, the main outlines are sufficiently estab.' lished to have a bearing upon practice but the practical application can be more surely and readily made if the farmer, with his inside knowledge of the way things can be done, will learn the theory, than by any attempt of the scientific man striving from the outside to get up the working conditions.

Excerpt from Agriculture, Theoretical and Practical: A Textbook of Mixed Farming for Large and Small Farmers and for Agricultural Students These Institutes will find an important place in our educational system, and become the training-ground of the young farmer, and may be expected in the future to cater for a large and increasing number of the sons of smaller farmers, that is those farming from 50 to 200 acres of land. Undoubtedly the coming years must see more and more of an organized system of education and greater attention paid to the thoughtful treatment of the land if it is to provide a living to those engaged in its cultivation, and this can only be secured by the application of exact knowledge: sound practice and reliable theory. This book is also eminently suggestive as to the best methods of applying science to practice. It lays stress upon many problems which are destined to produce far-reaching consequences on fertility, land cultivation, and rural economy. The subjects treated are very numerous, and include, not only cultivation, but such important matters as farm-buildings, book keeping, and the relative merits of grass and arable land. To give in a textbook such 'as this, which is necessarily restricted in size, an idea of farming matters in general, and to provide precise and reliable information on the cultivation and treatment of land, labour, machinery, live stock, dairying, and the many subjects connected with the industry of agriculture, is not an easy undertaking. The authors may claim to have exceptional qualifications for the task. Professor Wrightson, who was for so long a period associated with Downton Agricultural 'college, has established for himself a wide reputation as a sound and practical farmer, While Mr. J. C. Newsham most success fully filled the post of head master Of the Hampshire Farm School and County Lecturer on Agriculture for many years. Both authors may therefore be considered to possess not only the necessary scientific and practical knowledge, but to have had long experience in the needs of agricultural students and small farmers, and in imparting information in a form that is clear, concise, and attractive.

Applied ethics is a field of ethics that deals with ethical questions specific to a professional, disciplinary, or practical field. There is ample literature available on ethics but there is scarcity of literature as how to apply the principles of ethics in solving the problems of contemporary world. The main objective of the book is how to apply principles and theories of ethics in day-to-day life in our ordinary business of life. There are numerous dimensions of ethics but it is not possible to discuss all of them. Some important subsets of applied ethics are discussed in the book. First, what are the principles of ethics and how ethics is associated with religion, law, science and technology? Second, the present world is facing grave issues such as climate change, population explosion, Corruption and violence, globalisation problems etc. How these issues can be resolved ethically. Third, all the countries of the world are engaged in rapid economic development of their economies. How this can be done ethically. The main aim behind this book is that the Individuals, Societies, Corporations, Countries and the entire world should be run on ethical lines. This alone will endure happiness and well-being of all.
