Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
"Farm Conveniences" is a fascinating volume abounding in valuable hints and suggestions for the easy and quick construction of a large number of homemade devices. First published in 1884, it contains the best ideas gathered from farmers, and teaches a valuable lesson in rural economy. Filled with more than two hundred engravings, "Farm Conveniences" includes information on how to build a milk shed, a dam, a sled for removing corn shocks, a variety of animal traps, gatepost braces, a log boat, carts, and a great number of other farming and homesteading instruments. It is also an everyday handbook with instruction on how to use wastelands, prevent the washing of hillsides, harvest manure, dress meats, build shelters, and a vast array of other considerations for rural living.
