This vintage text comprises a practical course in agricultural chemistry, originally intended for senior students of agriculture, dairying, horticulture, and poultry husbandry. In this book, the treatment is sufficiently elementary for the young student, yet it has been so designed as to form a thorough basis for those looking to take up a scientific or advisory career. The book was produced to meet the requirements of students preparing for the B.Sc. degrees in agriculture, horticulture, and dairying, for the National and College diplomas in these subjects, as well as in poultry husbandry. The chapters of this book are: 'Soils', 'Plant and Animal Bio-Chemistry', 'Feeding Stuffs', 'Dairy Products', 'The Chemical Examination of Water', and 'Insecticides and Fungicides'. Many antiquarian books such as this are becoming increasingly hard to come by and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are proudly republishing this book now complete with a new introduction on farming.
