Pratt's Practical Pointers on the Care of Livestock and Poultry

This practical guide shows how good animal husbandry can turn a farm into a steady source of income. It explains why healthy, well‑chosen livestock—whether cattle, swine, sheep, horses or poultry—are the backbone of profitable agriculture, and how their manure enriches the soil for better crop yields. The author emphasizes two simple rules: avoid low‑quality “scrub” stock and keep every animal in peak physical condition.

Drawing on decades of experience from a leading supplier, the book offers clear advice on feeding, housing, disease prevention and treatment. Readers will find straightforward instructions for using proven preparations, tonics and disinfectants that have earned a long‑standing guarantee of satisfaction. Whether you’re a seasoned farmer or just starting out, the early chapters provide a solid foundation for building a more productive, financially stable farm.
