A smallholding is a small farm which normally supports a single family through the growing of cash crops and subsistence crops. This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to planning, establishing, and maintaining a smallholding for pleasure or profit. Written in simple language and profusely illustrated, "Practical Hints for the Holding" constitutes a must-have guide to farmers new and old, and would make for a useful addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Manures and Fertilisers", "Lime and Liming", "Smallholding Cash Crops", "Suitable Potatoes", "General Crops for Livestock Feeding", "Crops to Grow for Stock Feed", "Dredge Corn Mixtures", "Grass Seed Mixtures", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.
