Originally published 1886. This fascinating and well illustrated
farming book contains advice on every aspect of small scale
farming. Contents Include: Culture of Crops - Management of Cattle
- Poultry - Pigs - Farm Records - Ensilage System - Equipment and
Implements - Butter and Cheese Making - Construction of Building
etc. Many of the earliest farming books, particularly those dating
back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and
increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of
these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions,
using the original text and artwork.
Robert Scott Burn wrote this book in 1871 at a time of great
developments in science, industry and exploration, and when
materials for engineering and building were constantly being
improved and replaced. It offers, therefore, a useful coverage of
both traditional techniques and materials such as stone, brick and
pise, but also examines the developments in the use of cement for
wall covering as well as cement blocks to be used as artificial
stone. This reprint of the original work contains over 400 pages of
text dealing with materials, practical construction techniques,
masonry and brickwork, principles of design, drawing, plastering
and wall decoration, as well as many other aspects of construction.
The 160 plates which accompany the text include a large number of
drawings of different parts of buildings, including: window, door
and wall details in various styles; arches; staircases; consoles
and brackets in stone and terracotta; hollow and ornamental
brickwork and designs of shop fronts.
