history and description of the horse, mule, cattle, sheep, swine, poultry and farmdogs; with directions for their management, breeding, crossing, rearing, feeding, and preparation for aprofitable market; also their diseases and remedies. Together with full directions for the management of thedairy.This was more interesting as a peek at a 19th century gentleman farmer than for the actual information. The discussion of farm-dogs, for instance, quoted both King Lear, and An Elegy On The Death Of A Mad Dog, by Oliver Goldsmith, and made a passing reference to "the fides Achates, or parlor companions". Also included is a delightful series of tables showing the weights and chemical compositions of the food and "products voided" by various animals. I was amused by the passionate advocacy for Mules (so much better than horses at -everything-!).
