By Charles William Stubbs

Book Overview

The Land And The Laborers: A Record Of Facts And Experiments In Cottage Farming And Cooperative Agriculture is a book written by Charles William Stubbs and originally published in 1884. The book is a detailed account of the author's experiences and experiments in cottage farming and cooperative agriculture, which he conducted in the late 19th century. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by laborers in rural areas, including poverty, lack of access to land, and exploitation by landowners. Stubbs argues that the solution to these problems lies in the development of cottage farming, where small plots of land are leased to individual families who can grow crops and raise livestock for their own consumption and for sale in local markets. The book also explores the benefits of cooperative agriculture, where groups of farmers come together to share resources and knowledge, and to collectively market their produce. Stubbs provides detailed case studies of successful cooperative farming ventures, and argues that this model can help to alleviate poverty and improve the lives of rural laborers.Overall, The Land And The Laborers is an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by rural laborers in the late 19th century, and provides valuable insights into the potential of cottage farming and cooperative agriculture to promote economic and social development in rural areas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
