Shearer is a practical manual written in the early 20th century. This instructional guide focuses on the mechanical aspects of farming, detailing various tools, machinery, and techniques that enable farmers to reduce manual labor and increase efficiency in agricultural operations. Its emphasis is on integrating mechanics into everyday farm practices to enhance productivity and sustainability. At the start of the book, Shearer sets the stage by highlighting the crucial role of mechanical knowledge in modern farming. He asserts that farmers who embrace innovative machinery can significantly lessen their labor burden, thereby optimizing their output. The opening chapters describe essential farm shops, detailing the necessary tools and their organization, and provide insightful advice on maintaining and operating farm machinery. From the importance of having a well-maintained implement shed to discussions on effective woodworking tools, the text serves as a comprehensive primer for farmers seeking to upgrade their practices through a better understanding of mechanics.
