Excerpt from The Feeding of Crops and Stock: An Introduction to the Science of the Nutrition of Plants and Animals
Even more than for the student, this book is intended for the workaday farmer who wants to get an intelli gent conception of how his cr0ps and stock make their growth. Complex and unknown as many of these processes are, the main outlines are sufficiently estab.' lished to have a bearing upon practice but the practical application can be more surely and readily made if the farmer, with his inside knowledge of the way things can be done, will learn the theory, than by any attempt of the scientific man striving from the outside to get up the working conditions.

Excerpt from The Feeding of Crops and Stock: An Introduction to the Science of the Nutrition of Plants and Animals
In this book I have endeavoured to provide a general introduction to the science of growing crops and feeding animals: an outline, in fact, of the theory of the nutrition, first of the plant and then of the animal. The book is intended on one side to give the student of agriculture a general framework of ideas, before he enters upon the more detailed study of agricultural chemistry that will be presented to him by his professor. I have found that such students often experience a difficulty in following and making the best use of their lectures because the whole trend of the subject is strange to them; they would be better able to appreciate the value of the illustrations they receive if they could at once see their bearing upon the scheme of nutrition of plant or animal.
