About this book
Robert Jennings, a professor of pathology and operative surgery at the Veterinary College of Philadelphia, wrote this farm manual in 1864 after earlier volumes on horses and cattle. It covers three kinds of stock: the history and varieties of sheep, swine and poultry, the best ways to breed them, their feeding and management, and the diseases each is prone to, with remedies.
In the preface Jennings aims the book at working farmers, in plain language without technical terms, and gives the growing wool trade and the large commerce in swine as reasons for the subject.
