Book Description
Excerpt from Equipment for the Farm and the Farmstead This book, as suggested by its title, contains a discussion of the general problem of equipping the farm and the farmstead. The material herein presented has been collected from various sources during the authors service as a teacher. An effort has been made to bring together and to present in a readable and teachable form such facts and principles as the modern farmer demands and must understand for the successful practice of his profession. It is only in very recent years that questions such as those discussed in this book have been given the consideration which they deserve. Colleges, experiment stations, institute speakers, and lecturers generally, have given their full time and effort during the past quarter of a century to the discussion of larger crop yields and better live stock. It is well perhaps that it should have been so, for profitable crop and live-stock production are the foundation of agricultural prosperity. On the other hand, when one reflects that about one fifth of the total value of farms in the corn belt is wrapped up in buildings and machinery, the wonder is that the subject has not been given adequate discussion long before. But times have changed and the remarkable interest which is now being taken in such questions as farm buildings, water supply, sewage-disposal, farm lighting etc. proves beyond question that information on these and kindred subjects is being eagerly sought. The point of view taken in this book has been, first, that of the farmer of the present who is seeking information as to ways and means of making his work easier and his burdens lighter to whom it is hoped the book will make a strong appeal and in the solution of whose problems it is believed he may find practical help; second, that of the student who is to become the farmer of the future.

Life in the Leatherwoods
Author: John Quincy Wolf
Publisher: University of Arkansas Press
ISBN: 1557285942
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 246
Book Description
Life in the Leatherwoods is one of the country's most delightful childhood memoirs, penned by an Ozark native with a keen, observant eye and a gift for narrative. John Quincy Wolf's relaxed style and colorful characters resemble those of another chronicler of nineteenth-century rural life, Laura Ingalls Wilder. Wolf's acerbic wit and lucid prose infuse the White River pioneers of his story with such life that the reader participates vicariously in their log rollings, house-raisings, spelling bees, hog killings, soap making, country dances, and camp meetings. Originally published by Memphis State University Press in 1974, this new edition includes additional writings of John Q. Wolf and a continuation of the autobiographical narrative after his 1887 move to Batesville. Wolf's writings are valuable resources for southern historians, folklorists, general readers, and scholars of Ozarkiana because they provide a rare glimpse into the social and family life of a largely misunderstood and stereotyped people--the independent hill farmers of the Arkansas Ozarks of the 1870s and 1880s. With Life in the Leatherwoods, Wolf bestows a benediction upon a society that existed vibrantly and humorously in his memory--one that has now forever disappeared from the American countryside.
