Excerpt from Soils: Their Nature and Treatment

During the last few years the progress in the study of science applied to farming has been very great, and the number of farmers and farm students who have taken the matter up is ever on the increase.

It is believed that a summary of information on scientific practice might be usefully offered to those interested - whether young or old-hence the present series of Handbooks, of which the first is now issued. The series will consist of separate volumes on soils, crops, live stock, dairy farming, and farm equipment, and each will be complete in itself. The subjects will be treated in a simple manner, without introducing many technicalities, and the volumes Will 'form a complete treatise on modern scientific farming.
