By George Ville

Book Overview

High Farming Without Manure: Six Lectures on Agriculture is a book written by George Ville and originally published in 1878. The book contains six lectures that discuss the principles of agriculture and the importance of using alternative methods to manure in order to achieve high farming. Ville argues that manure is not the only way to replenish soil nutrients and that there are other methods, such as the use of mineral fertilizers and crop rotation, that can be just as effective. The book covers a wide range of topics related to agriculture, including the chemical composition of soil, the role of nitrogen in plant growth, and the importance of drainage and irrigation. Ville also discusses the benefits of using legumes as a means of nitrogen fixation and the use of green manure to improve soil fertility. Overall, High Farming Without Manure is a comprehensive guide to alternative farming methods that emphasizes the importance of sustainable agriculture. It provides valuable insights into the science of agriculture and offers practical advice for farmers and agriculturalists looking to improve their crop yields and soil health.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
