Description
|
|
|
|
The practical, intriguing American devices described in this handbook date from an era long before milking machines, pesticide sprayers, and industrial hay bailers, yet these simple inventions—for doing everything from managing young bulls to protecting drain outlets—can be just as useful for today's homesteader as they were a century ago. Here are such items as a movable nest for hens, a ribless boat, a contraption to extricate a mired animal, a farm cart with adjustable racks for larger loads, a wire fence tightener, a fruit picker, and a grindstone set and frame, illustrated with drawings throughout.
