Excerpt from Farm Science
Later it was thought that only certain soils would grow alfalfa. Now it is known that while it prefers rich, loose limestone soils, it will grow luxuriantly on strong, stiff, limestone clays, once they are made dry with tiles and fed with manure. It grows on sand, when the sand is made rich. It grows away from limestone, when the land has been sweetened with lime. In truth there is hardly a class of soils in the Union that is not now growing alfalfa, under enthusiastic culturists, who persist in giving the conditions that it needs and deserves.

Excerpt from Farm Science
"Farm Science" has been compiled for the particular purpose of assisting American agriculturists in the work of farm management. With this end in view the highest authorities in their respective fields of research were asked to prepare special articles setting forth the results of extended experiments involving every important operation on the farm. The subjects treated cover a wide range of thought, and deal with every branch and phase of modern agriculture.
Marvelous as have been the achievements in other fields of human activity, the greatest forward strides in the United States have been made in agriculture. Particularly was this true during the last half century. The primitive implements and methods of pre-historic times were retained through the centuries of man's strenuous struggle to master the forces of nature. From the reaping hook and cradle to the modern self-binder is a far cry, but it has all been accomplished within the memory of men now living. As recently as 1845 the United States did not produce enough breadstuffs to supply the needs of home consumption. Now this country, with a population increased many fold, is the largest exporter of breadstuffs and other food products, the yield from American farms rivaling the production of all Europe.
The wonderful progress made in modern American agriculture is due in large part to our unlimited agricultural resources, and to the intelligence of the American farmer who has been materially assisted in his work by the inventors who recognized the necessity of improved methods on the farm, and have supplied machines and implements to lighten labor and transform drudgery into a pleasurable pastime.
If a careful perusal of "Farm Science" suggests any method of improving the quality or yield of crops, any method of making the dairy more profitable, or any method of securing larger results with less work, the purpose of this book will have been fulfilled.
