Abstract
THE number of books dealing with special branches of science applied to agriculture is great and is steadily increasing; we have books on agricultural chemistry, botany and entomology, on the soil, on fertilisers and feeding-stuffs; there are also a number of large treatises and encyclopaedias on agriculture. But only few writers have attempted to produce a small, handy book on practical agriculture dealing with the subject as a whole; the majority have been deterred by the difficulty of reducing so wide and complex a subject to the necessary small dimensions.
