1903230351903. Federal Agricultural PolicyEnvironmental ManagementUSDA Archive of 19 United States Department of Agriculture Farmers' Bulletins and related federal publications issued between 1903 and 1943 documenting the federal government's expanding role in agricultural science land management and rural modernization during the Progressive Era and the decades surrounding the Dust Bowl. Produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as part of the federal agricultural extension system these publications were one of the most effective instruments through which the United States government reshaped agricultural production and rural land use in the early twentieth century. Farmers' Bulletins distributed nationwide helped the USDA translate experimental research conducted in universities and federal laboratories into practical instruction for farmers across the country. The bulletins were handed out free of charge through congressional offices agricultural colleges and rural postal networks reaching millions of farm households and implementing federal agricultural policy at the local level. The publications represented here emerged from the legislature introduced by the Morrill Acts the Hatch Act and the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 which created the federal system linking agricultural research land-grant universities and cooperative extension services. <br /> <br /> The earliest publications in this archive address dairy science and livestock management at the turn of the twentieth century illustrating the USDA's early efforts to standardize agricultural production through scientific research and experimentation. By the interwar period the scope of federal guidance had expanded significantly with bulletins addressing farm infrastructure soil improvement agricultural inputs and the management of rural resources and home economics. Particularly significant are titles addressing timber measurement and marketing soil improvement through mulching fertilizer preparation and fishpond management reflecting the USDA's growing involvement in the scientific management of rural ecosystems. These publications illustrate the transition from early agricultural instruction toward broader federal oversight of land productivity and environmental management during the first half of the twentieth century particularly in the decades surrounding the agricultural crises of the 1930s.<br /> <br /> The 19 titles include:<br /> <br /> • Cheese Making on the Farm 1903<br /> • Butter Making on the Farm 1903<br /> • The Dairy Herd: Its Formation and Management 1904<br /> • Dairy-Barn Construction 1923<br /> • Farm Plumbing 1924; revised 1933<br /> • Painting on the Farm 1925<br /> • Simple Plumbing Repairs in the Home 1925; revised 1936<br /> • Hotbeds and Coldframes 1935; revised 1941<br /> • Facts About Cotton 1938; revised 1940<br /> • Cotton Shirts for Men and Boys 1939; revised 1943<br /> • Useful and Ornamental Gourds 1941<br /> • Preventing Insect Damage in Home-Dried Fruits 1943<br /> • Techniques of Fishpond Management 1943<br /> <br /> Additional publications address timber measurement and marketing soil improvement through organic mulches fertilizer preparation and other aspects of agricultural productivity and rural resource management further illustrating the USDA's expanding influence over agricultural land use and environmental practice during the first half of the twentieth century. Nineteen pamphlets and booklets printed in staple-bound or pamphlet format many with illustrated wrappers. Paper toned with scattered edge wear and occasional creasing; earlier bulletins show foxing and surface wear consistent with circulation. Overall good condition. A coherent working archive documenting the federal government's transformation of American agriculture through scientific research extension education and land-management policy in the early twentieth century illustrating the institutional foundations of modern agricultural and environmental governance. unknown

6 yearly issues, (1799, 8pp; 1800, 8pp; 1801, 8pp; 1802, 8pp; 1806, 12pp; 1808, 12pp.), stitched as issued, browning and spotting as a result of the rather poor quality paper, corners worn with some loss but not to text, one or two small tears (the 1802 issue rather more so). By their very nature, these ephemeral almanacs are very rare; they were intended for issue within the year of printing and then to be thrown away. Printed on poor quality paper, they are susceptible to browning and general wear as is the case with these. Contents include: Geographical description of the world; dimensions of Scotland, England, and Ireland; a very useful table for calculating servants' wages, etc.

18217A Londres, et se trouve à Paris, Chez Dessain junior, 1767. (2), xii, 298 pp. 12mo. Contemporary marbled calf, spine gilt in compartments, label with gilt lettering, red edges, some light scratches, small repair to joint of rear cover, a fine copy. Kress 6453; Goldsmiths 10298; Einaudi 3048; INED 2349; Higgs 4197; Conlon 67:953; not in Mattioli. First (and only?) edition. The abbé Pierre Jaubert's opinions were more varied than those of Danguel and Plombaine, but similar in character. He accepted the opinion of Montesquieu, Forbonnais, and the agrarian writers that population tended to grow when men were assured the fruits of their labor and some comfort; and that failure to cultivate all available land, coupled with the great and inequitable tax burden was depressing agricultural production and retarding population growth. Therefore he advocated stimulation of the agricultural arts: protection of agriculturalists against their creditors; a redistribution of the tax burden; the use of idle urban workeers to perform the corvées; and restrictions upon the crop-destroying wild game which were raised and protected for the benefit of the nobility. He furthermore proposed that monasteries and nunneries be stripped of tax exemption and other privileges, he was critical, as were many writers, of the French hospital and penal system, he advocated an improved urban water supply, enlargement and frequent cleaning of the streets, daily filth removal, and the location of certain establishments (cemetries, tanneries, etc.) outside cities. Spengler considers his suggestions for the curtailment of celebacy and the counterbalancing of its effects, as most important. With his emphasis on agricultural arts he was in line with the Physiocrats (for a detailed analysis see: Spengler, French predecessors of Malthus, pp. 90-94). A very nice copy of a scarce and important work.
