THE FARMER’S COMPANION, being a Complete System of Modern Husbandry; including the latest Improvements and Discoveries, in Theory and Practice.

The whole scope of its contents has a constant and immediate connexion with the daily pursuits of the Farmer, the Implements of Husbandry he employs, the Modes of Agriculture he adopts, and the System of Pasture and Feeding he pursues. These multifarious topics are all treated with simplicity and clearness; so that the Work presents an ample, but distinct display of every subject connected with the practical objects of a Farm. It is illustrated with upwards of One Hundred Engravings, representing improved Implements for Farming, various Breeds of Cattle, Sheep, &c. Price 1l. 16s. boards.
