A definitive handbook for the barn and the field. Practical wisdom for every farmer. Feeds and Feeding Manual by S. Savage, Elmer offers painstakingly practical guidance on animal nutrition and the everyday decisions of stockkeeping. Part technical manual, part agricultural reference book, it lays out feed formulation basics and principles for balancing farm animal diets, with attention to livestock health care, economical rations and the realities of rural life. Written in a clear, instructive voice, the manual functions as a livestock feeding guide and an animal nutrition manual equally useful to hands-on smallholders, extension workers and anyone seeking an authoritative primer on feed and management. Its concise explanations of ingredients, digestibility and rationing make it a reliable farmer education resource and a straightforward veterinary students handbook for those training in stock health and feed evaluation. The text translates measurements and formulas into everyday choices, helping readers weigh cost against condition and output; the emphasis on economy and animal wellbeing keeps the advice relevant to modern smallholders and to readers interested in the roots of scientific husbandry. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As a vivid record of early 20th century farming and rural agriculture practices, Feeds and Feeding Manual stands among classic agriculture texts and the broader feeds and feeding collection. It reads as both reference and record: clear enough for practical consultation, rich enough to satisfy historians of countryside life and students of agricultural science. Casual readers curious about country economy and historical practice will find engrossing detail; collectors of agricultural literature will value a restored edition that bridges scholarship and daily use. Practical, historically rich and scrupulously reasoned, this edition reconnects readers with the craft of feeding stock and the quiet ingenuity of past farm labour.
