Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered Before the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture: At the Fair Grounds, Omaha, Wednesday, Sept, 14, 1881 This should be not so much the farmer´s holiday, but rather the occasion for conference as to the manner of improving all the industries of the land, because only through the development of all and the prosperity of each is his own prosperity secured. Not only to reason together about the system of husbandry, for he must learn that the best is the only kind which will be found profitable; that weeds and corn cannot grow on the same soil during the same season; that one hundred acres producing fifty bushels per acre is far better than two hundred acres producing thirty bushels per acre. That wheat, in a large portion of the state, should not be grown beyond home supply: the uncertainty of the crop and the large outlay for necessary machinery leaving but little to the producer. That the best grade of stock on the farm and in the market is that which is best cared for. The severe winter and the equally severe summer is teaching rather severely the lesson that cattle cannot subsist without feed and that less feed will be necessary where sheltered from the snows and winds of winter. And while discussing the treatment, feeding, watering and salting the herds and flocks, the growing wealth of this growing state, it will not be amiss to know the mode of watering other stocks and salting mines with minerals where none exist. Every year is bearing its testimony to the truths of the thousands gone before: that there is no true excellence without labor, either in the field, the arts and sciences, the forum, the bench, or the pulpit. That no addition is made to the actual wealth of the world except by the labor of hands. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
