Excerpt from The Modern Farmer in His Business Relations: A Study of Some of the Principles Underlying the Art of Profitable Farming and Marketing, and of the Interests of Farmers as Affected by Modern Social and Economic Conditions and ForcesHaving prepared the book mainly for farmers, I was desir Ous that farmers should read'it. The farmer, however, is seldom a free book buyer, and I was persuaded that, except by the kindly ministrations of the canvasser - a capacity in which I began my own business life - the most of those for whom the book was especially intended would never see it. I therefore decided to publish by subscription.Possibly it is desirable that an unknown author should state his experience, and the environment which in¿uences him. I was once a farmer of the Old school, and led the life described in the first chapter Of this volume. Then followed twenty-five years Of business life, for the most part dealing with affairs Of some magnitude. Then, retiring from busmess, were three years Of active Cooperative work. I now live upon my farm, where I am permitted to act as agricultural editor Of a daily journal. For a short time I was connected with the University of California, as Organizer of Farmers' Institutes. My pecuniary interests and my sympathies are with the farmer.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
