Book Description
Excerpt from Hints From a Practical Farmer: To the Settlers on the Projects of the United States Reclamation Service The advancement of the interests of the farmers in any country depends upon the adoption and the application of the principles of the formulæ - better business, better farming, and better living. I put the formulæ in the order of their ranking importance. We are investing millions of dollars in teaching the science of better farming; we are seeking the means of better living for the farmer, but to realize the benefits of better farming and better living we must be religious in our efforts to instill in the minds of the American farmers the necessity for and the means of acquiring and applying the principles of better business. The science of better farming and the plans for better living will not avail unless the foundation - better business - is carefully ingrained in our scheme of agriculture. Before the days of our excellent transportation facilities each farming community could control its markets and general business by the application of a very simple system - of exchange, sale, and purchase. Since the advent of good transportation facilities no agricultural community in this country is independent of any other section of the country or of the world in general. Prices for our products are fixed by the prices available in the large business centers and our markets are open to invasion by farmers from other sections who can produce our products more cheaply and better in quality. Better business on the farm reaches into every item of farm life. The layout of the farm with its buildings and fields should be planned as a manufacturing plant is planned - for efficiency. The rotation of crops to be followed should be planned with an eye to definite maximum results; the breeds of live stock to be handled should be chosen on the basis of potential profits; the community spirit, or the association with fellow farmers, should be fostered in a businesslike manner because it is good business; communication with the general business world - or what is generally known as boosting - should be done aggressively by the farmers, for good boosting is good business.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hints From a Practical Farmer: To the Settlers on the Projects of the United States Reclamation Service If each farmer would keep a record of the farm work for a vear he would likely find that the number of days actually spent in the work which returns the main farm income is small. During the months from March to November the principal farm work is accomplished and the bulk of the work is usually crowded into about three of these months. Of these three months not every day is a working day, due to bad weather. The result is that the farmer is confronted with the task of squeezing through a maximum of work in short periods, when everything must go as planned or loss occurs. It is in these periods of stress or what our efficiency experts call the peak load, that a well-planned farmstead and farm are appreciated. Then it is we determine whether every building on the farm is constructed for efficiency; whether each building is located in the right direction or at the right distance from every other building; whether the feed lots, the garden, the poultry yard, and other such subdivisions are properly located and the stock handled to the best advantage. The arrangement of the farmstead is just as important to the farmer as is the arrangement of the factory to the manufacturer. Manufacturers are planning with the view of reducing labor and costs. They are learning to start raw material in one end of a building and bring a finished product out the other end with never a backward movement or a moment's delay in the procedure. If you are planning new buildings, plan them for efficiency and locate them for efficiency. Plan them just as if every day in the year would be a busy day when every minute of time and every step is valuable. Planning for efficiency does not mean an unattractive farm lav out - rather, an attractive one. Plan well, for planning takes but a short while and you will use your farmstead constantly for many years.
