Excerpt from Newfoundland Colonisation Hand Book: Containing a General Account of the Agricultural Mineral Lands, the Property of the Newfoundland Colonisation and Mining Company, Ltd., With an Appendix
Cattle and their produce are increasing fast in the colony, Cattle. And on the grazing-land in the Codroy Valley, at Romaine's farm in St. George's Bay, and in other western districts, there is no reason why, in the near future, that a cattle ex port trade may become an important feature; mere rearing of cattle, and an increased number of small farms, is better than corn-growing. Home-bred horses and oxen will suit the requirements of the country better than imported ani mals, and the rearing of pigs, goats, and poultry would be of more importance than has hitherto attracted attention.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the result of the author's three separate research expeditions to Newfoundland, and details his impressions of the country, its people, and its potential for agricultural and mineral wealth. It also discusses the shing, cod and herring industries, and the possible improvements of these industries. The author was adamant that Newfoundland could be a prosperous country if its people focused on agriculture, lumbering and mining rather than exclusively on shing. The author was determined to encourage small farms and small farmers' unions for the sale of their produce. The book also delves into the political organization, revenue budget, public education, primary schools, public assistance, scientic and literary institutions, and a description of the towns of St. Johns, Harbour Grace, Hearts Content, Carbonear, Placentia, Twillingate, Burin, Burgeo, Channel, St. Georges Bay, Bay of Islands, Bonne Bay and Ingarnachoix.
