Reall, Joseph H.

The Journal of the American Agricultural Association. Vol. 1, No. 1.

New York: Published by the Association, 1881.

Large octavo, 260 + xxvi pages ads. Illustrated. The first issue of this journal issued by the A.A.A. with the original prospectus for the journal laid in. Includes articles on seed quality, dairying, Holstein cattle, watermelons, irrigation in California, wheat, sheep, fish and more. Of particular interest are essays, Daniel Ammen's "Country Homes and Who Should Have Them" which addresses on both practical and poetical bases the urge of many to have a place in the country; and Francis Moulton's "Mill's System of Ensilage" which suggests an improved method for the preservation of green fodder. A one-inch closed tear to one leaf, and a library number sticker to the publisher's printed wrappers (no other library marks are present), otherwise very good.
