The Preface reads "... The farmer of the future must be able to read farm papers understandingly, or better still, he should be trained for his life work in some agricultural school as doctors, lawyers and teachers are now trained. It is the purpose of this book to give to the farmer's child who studies it, a start in such necessary knowledge. The language used is plain and simple, and may be readily understood by any bright boy or girl of twelve years of age. All scientific terms are defined in a simple way whenever it has been necessary to introduce them.
Each chapter is followed by a set of practical farm problems to be used as exercises for arithmetic class. These problems have a definite relation to the subject matter which they follow, as well as a close relation to farm life. ..." Authorized for schools of Manitoba and Quebec.
