It provides valuable information and advice for those looking to start a small farm or homestead, as well as insights into the benefits of living close to nature and building strong community connections.We must not put all our time into one crop unless we are rich enough to do our own insurance; for drought, or damp; or accident, ill-adapted seed, or general unfavorable conditions may make failures of one or more crops. But in variety and succession of crops is safety and profit. In order to succeed, crop must be made to follow crop, so that the ground is used to its full capacity. To leave it fallow for even a week is to invite weeds and to lose much of the advantage of tillage, as well as so much time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
