From book: Animal owners who garden or farm organically want to know how to keep their animals healthy without shooting them full of high-powered drugs, which are the barnyard equivalent of pesticides in the fields..........Health is the primary objective of the organic method. Yet in any healthy ecosystem--such as the one formed by soil, plants, animals and man on the farm or homestead--there will be plenty of evidence of decay; almost every leaf will be bitten and chewed, fungus will be attcking an ancient tree, and the goat may be off her feed. The mentality that reacts to the presence of inscets with chemical poisons also tends to overract to the occasional symptomatic presence of illness by striving for chemical perfection. The remedies in this book, by contrast, grow quietly in the fields and require knowledge, not money, for their procurement. But these methods will build a lasting health that will stregthen every member of the whole farm. In addition to being practical, this work is full of fascinating ideas and luminous insights--the direct result of a lifetime's association with natural healing methods by the author, who has a great deal to tell us about health, faith in natural processes, and the animals who depend on us.
