Handy Farm Devices, Second Edition, is as useful and pertinent for homesteaders and small-scale farmers today as it was when it was first published nearly 100 years ago.

Within the pages of this book you will learn to make:

• Spill-proof chicken wateres
• Portable chicken coops
• A lightweight orchard ladder
• A small truss bridge
• An easy fence-post and stump-puller
• Gates that don't sag
• Gates that lift over snowdrifts
• A handy wood splitter
• A bicycle-powered washing machine
• And much more

Handy Farm Devices, Second Edition is a rare and engaging combination of nostalgic Americana and helpful instruction, sure to appeal to everyone inclined toward self-sufficiency and the country life.
