Ten chapters survey practices from crop rotation to livestock breeding, with a focus on the change in implements used to produce small grains. He argues that the first great surge in inventive activity in agronomy took place immediately following the War of 1812, virtually assuring the march to modernization. Two appendices discuss remedies for soil exhaustion and the breeding and raising of livestock. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
