Title
A Progressive Farm, 1880
Description
"The radical error of the American system of farming," this handbook argues, is that "throughout the greater part of the country, the attention of farmers and planters has been almost exclusively devoted to the cultivation of a few staple articles" (iii). In tandem with with the handbook, frontispiece schematically illustrates the diversified revenues of a well-run farm: cattle, hogs, chickens, geese, ducks, and turkeys. We see a hard-working farmer plowing, and his hands bringing hay into the barn. Various farm implements are displayed, as well.
