Continuous Cropping and Tillage Dairy Farming for Small Farmers - Hardcover

by T. Wibberley (Author)

Originally published in 1916, this guide was written to illustrate to anyone considering small scale farming, precisely how to do so. The author gives practical advice and is primarily concerned with making the venture as profitable as possible.
