The Smallholder’s Encyclopaedia for Self-Sufficiency

Originally published in the 1930s, this comprehensive book provides an excellent guide to living off the land for both pleasure or profit, and will still prove to be an invaluable addition to the bookshelf of modern readers wishing to embark on this way of life. Contents include advice on: Poultry; Vegetable Culture; Fruit Growing; Flower Culture; Holding and Farm Pigs; Cattle; Sheep; Land; Rabbit Keeping; Bee Keeping; Organic Methods etc. Many of the earliest farming books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
