The Horse-Hoeing Husbandry (1829) - Jethro Tull - Bog

The Horse-Hoeing Husbandry is a groundbreaking agricultural treatise written by Jethro Tull in 1829. Tull was a pioneer in the field of agriculture and his innovative methods revolutionized farming practices in England during the 18th century. In this book, Tull advocates for the use of horse-drawn implements in cultivating crops, such as the horse-hoe and the seed drill. He also emphasizes the importance of crop rotation and soil conservation techniques, such as covering crops with straw or manure to improve soil fertility. Tull's ideas were controversial at the time, as many farmers were resistant to change and preferred traditional methods of farming. However, his methods proved to be highly effective and were eventually adopted by farmers throughout England and beyond. The Horse-Hoeing Husbandry is an important historical document that provides insight into the development of modern agricultural practices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
