Prairie Farmer, Vol. 56: No. 3, January 19, 1884.
Various
170 pages~3 hr 23 min read77 chapters$4.99
Wet fields ruined more farms than drought, and bad drainage was usually to blame. This January 1884 issue lays out the common mistakes: no information, no planning for the future, no thought to where the tile should start. With Illinois tile-makers reporting in and a profile of horticulturist Patrick Barry. Dry your land, save your crop.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
