"Farm Conveniences and How to Make Them" is a fascinating volume
abounding in valuable hints and suggestions for the construction of
homemade farming and homesteading devices. First published in 1884,
it contains the best ideas gathered from farmers, and teaches
valuable lessons in rural economy. Filled with more than two
hundred engravings, "Farm Conveniences and How to Make Them"
includes information on how to build a milking shed, a dam, a sled
for removing corn shocks, a variety of animal traps, gatepost
braces, a log boat, cards, and a great number of other instruments.
Also an everyday farming handbook, it provides instructions on how
to use wastelands, prevent the washing of hillsides, harvest
manure, dress meats, build shelters, and much more. As the preface
most accurately sums up, "Skill in the construction and use of
simple labor-saving devices is of vast importance to the farmer,
and any aid to the development of this manual dexterity is always
welcome." Learn how the creativity and precision that went into
developing these handy devices equipped farmers of the past with
the knowledge and tools to work efficiently.
