Ebook Table Of Contents INTRODUCTION HORSES SHEEP CATTLE SWINE POULTRY Sample Content Preview Animal husbandry is the sure foundation of profitable, permanent agriculture. Where many animals are kept and their manure properly cared for and returned to the land, the soil becomes richer and crop-production steadily increases. And the farmer grows rich with his land. Further, the keeping of live stock distributes the farm labor and the farm income over the entire year. This is true whether meat, milk or eggs are the money crops. And certainly both factors are worthy of consideration from a straight business standpoint. With labor as valuable as it is at present, lost time cuts into the profits. And when the income is regular, not concentrated in a short period or dependent upon the success of a single crop, the matter of farm finance is much simplified. Consider the richest and most desirable agricultural sections of our great land. With very few exceptions,  the  best  and  most  valuable  farms  are those  which  are  heavily  stocked with domestic animals.  Here, too,  are  found  the  finest farm homes,  the  most prosperous  and contented  farm families.  And  this  fact,  which  is  so  well established  that  it  requires  no argument, plainly shows that animal husbandry pays . In the following pages you will find much valuable information regarding the proper care—in health and sickness—of horses, cattle, swine, sheep and poultry. We trust, and believe that you will find it most helpful in connection with your work. That it will enable you to be more successful, earn bigger profits. Right at the start we wish to emphasize two facts which are really fundamental and which are recognized by the most successful stock keepers. The first is this: It does not pay to keep scrub stock, animals which cannot under any conditions give the big returns. The second: No animal, regardless of breeding, can do its best work unless it is kept in perfect physical condition.

Those who were privileged to hear him during his first season in this country will never forget the experience. The Polish artist conquered the new world as he had conquered the old; his name became a household word, known from coast to coast; he traveled over our land, a Prince of Tones, everywhere welcomed and honored. Each succeeding visit deepened the admiration in which his wonderful art was held. The question has often been raised as to the reason of Paderewski's remarkable hold on  an  audience;  wherein  lay  his  power  over  the  musical  and  unmusical  alike. Whenever he played there was always the same intense hush over the listeners, the same absorbed attention, the same spell.

Ebook Table Of Contents Chapter One An Introduction to Yoga and its Health Benefits Chapter Two The Origins of Yoga in Hindu and Buddhist Teaching Chapter Three The Main Styles of Yoga Practiced Today – Something for Everyone Chapter Four Yoga Breathing – The Way to Relax and Calm the Mind and Body Chapter Five Yoga to Cure Insomnia and the Effects of Stress Chapter Six Yoga Exercises to Alleviate Neck and Back Pain Conclusion Ebook Sample Content Preview Chapter One - An Introduction to Yoga and its Health Benefits Everyone knows that yoga is good for our physical and mental health – don’t they? Most of us think that yoga has been practiced for ever; that to do yoga well you have to be stick thin; that you have to be able to turn yourself inside out, stand on your head, that you have to understand strange eastern languages, follow the teachings of Buddha, or get a Guru with a difficult to pronounce name. Well, none of this is really true. Nor do you have to live on lentils and rice, drink only water, and manage to leap from standing on one leg from one side of a lake to another. It is true, though, that yoga has been practiced since before Christ was born.  It is also true that it is extremely good for you, and that it can help our general health, help teach us to relax and to feel less stressed, and to sleep better. It is also extremely good for learning how to strengthen muscles in those ‘risky’ places, like the neck and lower back, and therefore helps reduce any pain in those areas of the body. It also enables you to massage your internal organs, and, combined with the increased oxygen flow through your body, helps every part of you function more effectively, more healthily, and therefore, hopefully, for longer. Yoga has evolved from ancient teachings, arguably going back as far as the Stone Age.  Originally a set of rituals and ceremonies to help bind societies, Yoga has emerged through time from its group emphasis to become a personal and individual journey.  This journey is never the same for two people, and always unique to ourselves.  And almost without exception, it is a journey that is enjoyable, rewarding, and empowering.

Well the truth of the matter is that the original tarot cards were actually used to play games with. The basic rules for playing the tarot games appear in a Italian manuscript of Martiano da Tortona dating back to 1425 with the Italian wealthy classes.  It is a fact that the beginnings of the tarot deck started in the 15th century in Italy between 1420 and 1440. There is no substantial evidence linking the tarot at that time to ancient Egypt although certain Egyptian symbols are present on the cards. But, we can to take account the history between Rome and Egypt in deciding how much Egyptian influenced these cards actually contain. This would be based on ones historical perspective even if the jury in some cases are decided that there is no proof of such a relationship. Created as a game for the nobles; the 22 cards we refer to as the “Major Arcana” was a lavish hand painted set of cards for the Italian nobility to entertain themselves with. This is not the same  deck of cards we know today as playing cards which date back to the Chinese and the 12th century. Those cards were created at that time to entertain the Chinese King's concubines . This origin of playing cards is a credible story as to the creation of cards because the Chinese also created paper which the cards were made of. The three decks from the Italian Nobility in 1440 called the Visconti Trumps are the ones by historical consensus that are regarded as the ancient elders of the Tarot as we know them today. Like all playing cards at the time these early decks had number cards 1 to 10 in 4 suits and the court cards page, knight, queen, king and 22 cards not belonging to any suit. These cards bore symbolic pictures with subjects like the Pope, the Emperor, The Wheel of Fortune, The Devil and the Moon. We recognize these same names in the Major Arcana portion of the tarot decks we use today.
