Title: How to Make It on the Land: A Complete Guide to Survival in the Country
Author: Ray Cohan
Format: Hardcover, no jacket
Publisher: Prentice Hall 1972
ISBN: 9780134224855
Size: 9 x 11 * 219 pages
Synopsis: Illustrated. From the jacket panels:
Perhaps you believe that crops thrive mainly on fertilizer and good cheer. And that any farm animal of ordinary intelligence will, with proper treatment, graciously render itself into roast beef, salamis, patties, link sausage and liverwurst.
You've read Thoreau. You snapped up the first copy of "The Farmer's Almanac" at the drugstore. But before you bid a smug farewell to your friends-the poor wretches who insist on being beaten, worked and taxed to death in the city- you'd do well to thumb through How to Make It on the Land.
How to Make It on the Land is the only thing that will save your skin in the wilds. A farmer himself, Ray Cohan wrote this all-inclusive farming source- book especially for the unskilled and ignorant city-dweller. He gives you advice and information you need to live in the country with your only business contacts the woods, the soil and the sun. From getting fine acreage practically free to clearing brush, pulling stumps, drawing maple syrup, raising bees, milking cows, even fricaseeing raccoons, he guides you step-by-step toward total pastoral independence.
You learn how to rear enough livestock for your needs, raise their feed crops, cultivate a kitchen garden and preserve fruits, vegetables, fish and meat without dangerous chemical additives. You'll find out how to reap the most from a family forest-as a refuge for game, as a sizable source of extra income and as a vital ecological system.
This is a book for people willing to exchange a great deal of hard work for freedom from the deadening Establishment routine; it tells you more about making it on the land than you know now about making it in the city.
