This antiquarian text contains a practical manual of cattle, horse, and sheep breeding, with information on the breeding, rearing and general management of horses, mules, cattle, sheep, swine, and poultry. It also discusses the general laws, parentage, and hereditary descent applied to animals, and how breeds may be improved. Much of the information contained herein is still very much relevant to the modern reader, making this text a worthy addition to collections of farming literature. The chapters of this book include: The Horse, The Ass and The Mules, Cattle, Sheep, Swine, Improvement of Breeds, Diseases and Their Cure, Poultry, and Bee-Keeping. This text was originally published in 1958 and is proudly republished here complete with a new introduction on the subject.
