The Spraying Outfits (Classic Reprint)
The Spraying Outfits (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Spraying Outfits <p>The second consideration is how to market the crops with a profit. Economy in production is under control by the farmer and can be figured very closely. Scientific care of the trees is the first step in economy. It not only results in more perfect fruit, which means an economy in grading and packing, but increases the production per acre to the maximum. Labor is becoming more of a problem every year, and such machines as the power sprayer, mechanical grader, etc., not only help greatly to reduce expenses, but are a necessity in the larger orchards. <p>Grading and packing are two important points that many farmers underestimate. Fruit that is properly graded and packed always brings top prices. <p>In nearly every case, properly graded and attractively packed fruit will bring a higher price than fruit of the same quality that is not so carefully handled. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Steam Tractor Encyclopedia
The Steam Tractor Encyclopedia

This must-read book is packed with fascinating real-life stories about the steam era on the American farm. It features over 500 unforgettable photographs that open a portal back in time. Most of the first steamers for farms were equipped with wheels or skids and were pulled by horses. Steam traction engines later came with various drive trains that enabled them to pull themselves along the open road. Steamers mechanized agriculture, ensured population growth, and transformed the United States and Canada into contenders in world economic markets. In 1910, a Department of Agriculture survey found that 72,000 farm steam engines were in use in the United States. Until the first edition of The Steam Tractor Encyclopedia, no book had presented anything approaching a complete photographic record of agricultural steam engines in America. Dr. Robert T. Rhode is one of the world’s experts on steam engine history on the American farm, and John F. Spalding has one of the world’s largest collections of photographs of agricultural steam engines. Combining Rhode’s knowledge and Spalding’s photographs has resulted in an expanded edition of the most complete steam tractor encyclopedia in print in the United States or Canada. The new expanded edition of this popular encyclopedia features over 600 historical pictures of steam engines and provides the histories of over 80 companies that built farm steam engines in the United States and Canada. Included are portable engines and traction engines, which today are often called steam tractors. The book also has photos of hit and miss engines and antique gas tractors. The second edition is nearly twice as large as the first edition was. The book has been completely revised and has a totally new design. 400 pages 2011

Excerpt from The Story of a Red-Deer <p>Once upon a time there was a little red-deer Calf. You know what a red-deer is, for you of all boys have been brought up to know, though it may be that you have never seen a calf very close to you. A very pretty little fellow he was, downy-haired and white-spotted, though as yet his legs were rather long and his ears were rather large, for he was still only a very few weeks old. But he did not think himself a baby by any means, for he was an early calf and had been born in the second week in May and a birthday in the second week in May is the greatest event that can occur in a red-deer's family. <p>The first thing that he remembered was that he found himself lying very snug and warm in a patch of fern, with the most beautiful pair of brown eyes that ever were seen gazing straight down upon him. <p>About the Publisher <p>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
