<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Hogology is a 96-page book published in 1907 by <i>Dr. Jos. Haas Remedy Co.</i> of Indianapolis, Indiana. Part of the book is clearly advertising for <i>Dr. Hass' Hog Remedy</i>, but most of the book is dedicated to providing more general information about how to successfully raise hogs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This book begins with the heading of: <b>The Hog a Money Maker</b>, and the following paragraph...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">"When we say that no domestic animal has made more money for the American farmer than the hog we are making a broad statement, but it is a fact, and the truth of it will be admitted by the owner of every up-to-date and well-managed farm. Farms have been bought, schools established, improvements made and civilization has been advanced by this unfastidious mortgage-lifter."</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">In 1941, Planet Jr. was still making all sorts of human and horse-powered agricultural implements. But they were also making seeders for riding tractors (Farmalls are pictured). Planet Jr.'s brand of walk-behind tractors are mentioned and pictured in the back of the catalog, but there was, evidently, a separate 48 page catalog just for the "Planet Jr. Tractor." </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The old-timer's truly had a passion for poultry. We know this because in the years between circa 1900 to 1940 a great many </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">poultry books, magazines and bulletins were published. There were also many poultry clubs. Poultry-raising was so widespread, in fact, that various poultry feeds were sold in the popular A&P grocery stores of the day (that would be the equivalent of buying egg-laying mash at Walmart today).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The many writings from America's golden era of poultry popularity are a remarkable historical storehouse of information and insights about raising poultry. With that in mind, <i>Planet Whizbang</i> has created the <i>Old-Timer's Poultry Library</i>. This electronic library, housed in a high-quality USB flash drive, is like a fascinating time capsule from the old-timers.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">All of the pdf files in the library are original-copy scans from Herrick Kimball's personal collection of poultry agriphemera. All you have to do to have instant access at any time to all the volumes is plug the "Poultry Library" flash drive into the USB port of your computer (Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, & Mac OS X v10.6+). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">This rare 32-page booklet (with 6 photos and 6 illustrations) was produced by the Beacon Milling Company of Cayuga, NY.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The primary concern with turkeys when this booklet was written was blackhead, a disease that devastated whole flocks of the birds. Blackhead is discussed early in the book.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Bronze</i>, <i>Hollands</i> and <i>Bourbon Reds</i> were the most common turkey breeds when this booklet was published. It was assumed that the farmer would have hens and toms, and raise their own poults. Proper feeding of the breeders is discussed, as is artificial incubating and natural hatching. Movable brooder coops are also discussed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">Rearing of poults on open lots of pasture land is recommended as being more </span>desirable<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> than "rearing platforms" of wire or concrete. "Battery rearing" is discouraged. But platform and battery recommendations are provided.</span></span><br />

Various Beacon feed rations are, of course, recommended, but there is a lot of information about what is in the different feeds and why. One of the more interesting feed recommendations, in addition to a box of oyster shell grit, is charcoal:<i> "A box of charcoal should be kept before the birds. This will help in preventing..."</i></span></span><br />

A homemade "worm oil" mixture consisting of mineral oil and rectified turpentine is discussed and recommended as a regular treatment.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">If you are interested in the subject of making your own vinegar, and you want to learn more about vinegar-making than you will get from the average online tutorial, you will appreciate this 28-page PDF download (with 10 illustrations). It will give you some historical perspective along with the practical information. Here is how the bulletin describes itself...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Vinegar can be made from any fruit, or, in fact, from any material which contains enough sugar and is in no way objectionable.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>Whether it is done on a small scale in the home, or on a larger scale on the farm, or in a still larger scale in the factory, the production of vinegar is the result of two distinct fermentation processes—an alcoholic fermentation followed by an acetic fermentation.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><i>By using the materials and following the methods discussed in this bulletin, vinegar of good quality may readily be made from apples, peaches, grapes, and other fruits, large quantities of which are wasted each year in the United States."</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">The making of vinegar using apples, grapes, oranges, peaches, persimmons, pears, berries, honey, <b>maple syrup</b>,<span style="color: red;"> </span>watermelons, grains, and molasses is discussed. Fermenting, filtering, clarifying, aging, pasteurizing, and packing are also covered. In addition to simple home vinegar production, a larger-scale, continuous-barrel process is explained. For commercial vinegar production, the bulletin describes how to make and use a "quick vinegar generator."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">There is also a discussion of "Causes of Failure" and "Animal Parasites" (vinegar eels and vinegar mites).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Testing for acid strength of the vinegar is covered near the end of the bulletin. However, the testing process in 1924 seems better suited to someone with a scientific or laboratory background. The bulletin ends with "Federal Regulations Governing The Manufacture And Sale Of Vinegar."</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Back in the days before the now-popular Cornish "Frankenchicken" was available, people caponized their roosters to get meaty birds. Here is an excerpt from this Farmer's Bulletin:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"A capon is an altered or castrated male chicken. As with other male animals so altered, the disposition of the capon differs materially from that of the cockerel. He no longer shows any disposition to fight, is much more quiet and sluggish, and is more docile and easy to keep within bounds. The true capon seldom crows. Along with this change in disposition there is a change in appearance. The comb and wattles cease growing. This change causes the head to appear abnormally small. The hackle, tail, and saddle feathers grow very long, giving the bird an appearance of being profusely feathered."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Caponized roosters grew quite large and sold for a premium. They needed a longer length of time (than a Cornish Frankenchicken) to attain the desired large size, but they were excellent foragers.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">George Beuoy is "The man that made capons famous," and I think he probably made a small fortune doing it. Beuoy sold caponizing information and caponizing tools. Judging from this booklet, he did a great job of encouraging and inspiring rural folks to tap into the profitable capon market that once existed in this country.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is not only an interesting and informative book, it's a lot of fun to read. You'll get Mr. Beuoy's autobiography telling how he started Dingley Dell Farm with pretty much nothing, and made a success of it (with the help of Mrs. Beuoy).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">The popularity of caponizing (in 1917), and the success of George Beuoy is evidenced in this excerpt...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"Just a few years ago it was thought that only an expert could make capons and often he was not sure of the results. No wonder, with the instruments and methods in use in those days—it was all guess and no sure results. With the George Beuoy patent Tools and the 1917 method as invented by him, anyone can do it. In the seasons just past more than THIRTY-THOUSAND people have bought instruments direct from Mr. Buoy and have followed his plain instructions to complete success in the making and marketing of capons. These pupils of Mr. Beuoy's live in every state in the Union and most of the provinces of Canada. It is always possible now for Mr. Buoy to cite you to some one in your immediate neighborhood that is quite expert at making capons. No matter where you live he will gladly do this for you and the neighbor will no doubt be glad to show you exactly how it is done, and without cost to you in any way."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This booklet makes it clear that even children can caponize chickens, and it provides pictures of George Beuoy's kids doing just that...</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This rare booklet is one of the most interesting examples of agriphemera that I own. G.P. Pilling & Son Co. was a Philadelphia manufacturer of surgical, dental, and veterinary instruments. They also made many different kinds of caponizing tools, all of which are featured in this 43-page pdf download.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Like, for example, you'll find 11 different testicle removers...</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Pictured in this book...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Philadelphia Caponizing Set</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Pilling-Farmer Caponizing Set</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Pilling Special Caponizing Set</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Lansdowne Capon Sete (#1 and #2)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The Cornell Caponizing Set</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Also pictured are Pilling spreaders, tweezers, forceps, three killing knifes, a gape worm extractor, the Pilling fume disinfector (for the chicken house—"death to germ life"), and if that's not enough, there three pages of cattle instruments.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The back cover of the book shows five different Pilling Poultry Markers. I have never heard of poultry markers. Here is a description...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">"These little instruments, used to punch web between toes, are invaluable to the poultry raiser in marking young and old chickens, capons and all kinds of fowl. The marker enables every farmer and breeder to recognize their own fowl at a glance. The marking can be made in over 200 different ways, and this number can be still more added to by marking the skin of the wings."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This booklet is all about capons and caponizing, but it doesn't go into any detail about exactly how to caponize. Nevertheless, this is a must-have caponizing resource, in my opinion.</span><br />

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">“The saving and earning possibilities of rabbit raising are illustrated by the following concrete examples of what has actually been done:</span></div>

<span style="color: #660000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One resident of Kansas City, Kansas, has raised 300 to 400 pounds of rabbit meat a year for his own table at a cost of only 8 to 10 cents a pound. A large religious institution in Nebraska that has raised rabbits instead of poultry reports the meat more satisfactory than chicken and the experiment profitable. According to a former county commissioner of the State of Washington, rabbits were grown on the county farm to provide a substitute for chicken for the county hospitals; the initial stock, numbering 119 rabbits, increased to 1,200 in 10 months, besides those used in the hospitals. A high-school boy in Iowa, who breeds registered stock on a space of 33 feet square in his back yard, raised and sold enough rabbits in 1918 to clear more than $1,200. An Ohio farmer sends 400 pounds of rabbit meat a week to city restaurants, yet is unable to meet the demand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This is an almanac that was distributed by Dr. Herrick’s Family Medicines. On the one hand it is a typical almanac, with daily sunrise and sunset times, weather forecasts, and astronomical calculations. On the other hand, it is a packed with advertising for the various medicines that the company sold. The advertising is in the form of short articles, poems, and anecdotes, all of which are entertaining and even informative. The almanac also has some food recipes and other bits of useful or entertaining non-advertising information. </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My understanding is that the Dr. Herrick’s company published their almanac for many years. This would seem to indicate that their products worked. While many patent medicines sold in this country before the modern era of FDA regulation contained dangerous or addictive substances (e.g., cocaine or turpentine), some of the medicines were herbal preparations that legitimately helped people feel better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">One of the products touted in the almanac is Renne's Magic Oil. This was a popular </span>cureall<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> of the day. I tried to find out the ingredients but the closest I came was: "a certain combination of oils with the juices of garden plants." I am thinking the oils may have been essential oils, which can be powerful curatives, and many people use essential oils too maintain health in this day and age.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In reading this little almanac I was most intrigued by “Herrick’s perforated capsicum, or red pepper plasters,” a product that is touted as a gentle, efficient “counter-irritant.” There are times in my life when a perforated </span>capsicum<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> plaster might have been just the thing for me.

<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Back in 1919, <i>The Farm Journal</i>, a popular agricultural periodical of the day, published a book with the bland title, <i>How To Do Things</i>. I bought a well-worn copy on Ebay and was pleasantly surprised to find that 226 pages of the book present a collection of hundreds of problem-solving ideas, like shown in the examples below.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Any book published before 1923 is now in the public domain and, while many such books have been reprinted, <i>How To Do Things</i> doesn’t appear to be one of them. So I’ve taken the liberty of scanning the old pages and assembling them into this pdf download under the more appealing title of, <i>625 Whizbang Ideas For The Farm & Household</i>.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The collected ideas in this new-old book are a lot of fun to look at, read about, and consider. They were all appropriate at a time in history when precious few farm folks had electricity or engines, and all the conveniences that came with those revolutionary inventions. The farms of those days were diversified subsistence farms operated with horsepower. Thus it is that many of the ideas presented in this book are not directly applicable to today. But there are some that can certainly be adapted and put to good use on a modern homestead.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Besides having some useful ideas for today’s homesteaders, there is the “inspiration value” that comes with studying all the cleverness crammed into these pages. If you are a resourceful person with an inventive mindset, reading this book is sort of like priming the pump; ideas, after all, tend to beget more ideas.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">And then there is the historical aspect. The tendency is to breeze through the many pages in this book and look at the pictures. But, after you have done that, if you go back and read the descriptive information presented with each idea—<i>even the ideas that don’t seem particularly interesting</i>—you’ll discover all sorts of details about life, and livestock, and farming in the old days.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Not every “handy device” presented in these pages is a home-run idea, but there is plenty to learn and appreciate in this excellent resource.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Have you ever eaten a muskrat? Well, according to this 1923 Farmer’s Bulletin muskrats are not only edible, the were once labeled as “marsh rabbits” and sold in retail markets of several U.S. cities. "They are bought and eaten by both well-to-do citizens and by the poorer people who seldom indulge in high-priced game."</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The average 1-1/2 pound carcass (less the fur) was sold for 20 to 25 cents in the early 19th century. This unique 20-page booklet tells how to properly prepare and cook <i>fried</i> muskrat, <i>roast</i> muskrat and <i>stewed</i> muskrat. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">But considering muskrats for food is only a small part of the information in this bulletin. You’ll also learn some clever ways to trap muskrats, and there is a short discussion about the best way to home-tan the hides.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I never really knew much about muskrats before I read this bulletin, but now I feel like I know a lot about the little critters. I feel pretty confident that I could catch a few, and that I could even make a decent meal out of them.... if I had to.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This 38-page Farmer’s Bulletin from 1948 is an excellent how-to resource for anyone who wants to learn all about growing raspberries, either on a small scale or large. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It’s also a good resource for anyone who, like me, already does grow raspberries. I’ve had two rows of red raspberry canes on the edge of my garden for may years, and they are something special!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I carefully prune and train my canes using the “linear system” (as this book calls it). But I believe the “hill system” would be a much easier way to prune and maintain a home-scale planting (I never knew about the hill system when I planted my raspberry canes).</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Even though I’ve had raspberries for years, and I’ve read numerous articles about growing raspberries, this bulletin had some things to teach me. In particular, I learned two new training techniques for the linear system that I never knew before. And I learned about a homemade cane-cutter tool that the old-timers used to prune out old canes. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: medium;">P.S. One thing the old agriphemera writings lack is color. The picture below shows me picking some of my own fresh raspberries. Plant them once, take proper care of them, and your raspberries will yield a delicious crop every year, for many years to come. I've found <a href="http://noursefarms.com/">Nourse Farms</a> to be an excellent online source of berry plants. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">There was a time when the U.S. government encouraged families to live on a small section of rural land and provide for their own food needs. This 19-page Farmers Bulletin presents a practical plan for a family of five to do just that. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The assumption was that a basic subsistence homestead of one acre could be cared for by a father with an outside job, working the homestead in his spare time, with the help of his family. So there would be some off-farm income to help pay for necessities beyond what the family could provide for itself. There was no assumption of earned income from the homestead, especially one of that size.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The one-acre subsistence homestead plan only allows for the production of fruits, vegetables and poultry for the family itself (not for outside sales). But if the father (referred to as an “employed man”) is only employed part-time or has a larger family, the bulletin discusses what more can be done to support the family (i.e., a family cow or milk goats), and how much land is needed for each option for expansion.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The bulletin provides an idealistic layout for a 1-acre subsistence homestead in the South (the "old cotton belt"), and a 1-acre subsistence homestead in the North.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here is an excerpt from the beginning of the bulletin…</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>“Growing food for family-living purposes in connection with enough outside work to provide the family with the cash for necessary farm and family expenses is a combination that many families now want to develop. Recent hard times and still more recent Government policies have renewed an intensified interest in this possible combination. This kind of farming has often been called subsistence farming and a farm of this kind a subsistence homestead.</i></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>This part-time farming has certain problems of its own that are somewhat different from the usual farming problems. The family has to think of the quantity and variety of products it needs rather than of what the markets demand.”</i></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">A lot has changed since 1934, but I think this concept of a subsistence homestead is still practical, and much of the information in this bulletin is useful and applicable to the undertaking, especially the discussion of what can (and can not) be done, practically speaking, by a family on a small section of land.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">From a more modern perspective, the whole concept of having a subsistence homestead, as this bulletin describes it, is still valid. In fact, with the advent of the internet, and the many new options for working from home that the internet provides, I think it is entirely possible for fathers and mothers to be self-employed, at home, with their children, on a small section of land, and have an even more desirable subsistence homestead. It’s not necessarily an easy goal, but I happen to think it is a worthy and rewarding goal, and the information in this bulletin provides some useful information towards achieving that goal.</span></div>

If you raise turkeys, either for your own use or as a farm enterprise, I’m sure you will find the information in this booklet interesting from a historical perspective. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Beyond the historical aspect, there is the practical information about how to properly kill, bleed and hand-pluck a turkey. The process of killing and bleeding is done with a turkey sticking knife (a specific description of the knife is given), through the mouth, into a large vein in the neck. Then the knife is inserted into the back lobe of the brain (the medulla oblongata). Proper piercing of the brain releases the birds muscles and loosens the feathers. Then the bird is hand-picked, and a precise description of how to properly hand-pick a turkey is provided. This old process of “sticking” a bird (as well as hand-picking) is an almost-lost skill.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The technical description of sticking, bleeding, and hand-plucking a turkey is where I think this particular bulletin offers the most practical and useful advice for those today who want to process their own turkeys. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Another very useful thing I learned from this bulletin is the proper way to lift and carry a live turkey. The technique, which I have never seen before, is explained and shown in a photograph.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This 28-page bulletin does <i>not</i> have information about eviscerating the birds, beyond removing the crops. Evisceration was, evidently, not done on the farm, when the bird was killed and bled, and that is certainly one part of the historical perspective that I found to be of interest. Also, the whole head of the turkey was left on the body and wrapped in a precise manner with brown paper. And certain of the bird's feathers were, as a rule, left in place. </span></div>
