Hand-Book for the Western Farmer and Stockman
The purpose of this volume is to furnish plain facts in a plain way about the practice of agriculture in the ARID REGION. Whatever its shortcomings, the reading matter here presented is new and original. It has been carved out of a quarter century of experience, observation and study in the dry parts of the West. No attempt has been made to compile scientific data or write a cyclopedia. We have tried to present enough of the practice and underlying principles of arid farming to enable any intelligent man to “make good” on a Western farm.
