Bonus Books:
:: 1897 The Science of Threshing
116 pages.
Treating the Operation, Management and Care of Threshing Machinery. Each and every part of a threshing outfit, from
the
foot board of an engine to the tail end of the straw carrier, works under and obeys some law peculiar to itself. Unless both manufacturer and
operator under- stand the various laws and principles which govern a device, it is liable to fail to perform the functions
intended, though both parties may have had unlimited experience. This necessary understanding or knowl-
edge can be gained much more easily and successfully than by depending upon the slow process of the
school of experience to educate and teach what should have been understood at the beginning.
:: 1873 Steam Plowing
54 pages.
Description of the operations of the Williamson road steamer and steam plow, on seed farms.
