Excerpt from Food From the Far Or: American Agriculture, With Special Reference to the Beef Production and Importation, of Dead Meat From America, to Great Britain The main portion of the matter making up this volume was written in the form of letters from the United States and Canada to the "Scotsman" newspaper, the proprietors of that journal having commissioned the writer to visit America with the view of giving to British farmers, through its columns, some trustworthy information on a subject threatening seriously to affect their welfare - namely, the importation of dead meat from the Far West. The letters have been carefully revised, altered, and supplemented, while four fresh chapters have been introduced - two on "American Shorthorn-Breeding, " one "Statistical, " and one on "What Science says to the Cattle-Feeder." The first and second refer to the supply of shorthorns in America, to their use in the improvement of the general cattle stock of the country, and to the leading features of shorthorn-breeding as now carried on in the United States.
