Its chief value to the reader does not consist in its details of practice, but in the enunciation and demonstration of certain principles of domestic economy, of universal application. This is a text that will be of considerable value to those who own or are looking to acquire a small amount of farmland to be used as a small commercial enterprise, and is a text that constitutes a worthy addition to collections of farming literature.
