Health on the Farm: A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene

"Health on the Farm: A Manual of Rural Sanitation and Hygiene" by H. F. Harris is a guide designed to educate farmers and their families about sanitation and hygiene, so they can boost their overall well-being and prevent disease by improving living conditions on farms. The book begins by pointing out how far behind health practices are when compared to industry at the turn of the century and explores the widespread lack of concern and understanding about personal and public health, which the writer blames on societal and cultural issues. It stresses how important education is for controlling health dangers in the countryside, hints at dangers in our surroundings, and then goes on to talk about different ways to take care of ourselves, keep our homes clean, and take steps to improve population health. The main goal is teaching farmers how to make their farms healthier and safer through practical, hands-on advice.
