 Treating
Dairy Cows Naturally
by Hubert J. Karreman, V.M.D.
In this groundbreaking work Dr. Karreman invites us to journey in to the
world of dairy cows from a truly holistic perspective. With much thought
and research, he builds a foundation from which to view dairy cows as
animals that occupy a unique agro-ecological niche in our world. From
within that niche, he describes how cows can be treated for a wide variety
of problems with plant-derived and biological medicines. Drawing upon
veterinary treatments from the days before synthetic pharmaceuticals,
and tempering them with modern knowledge and clinical experience, Dr.
Karreman bridges the world of natural treatments with life in the barn
in a rational and easy to understand way. In describing treatments for
common dairy cow diseases, he covers practical aspects of biologics, botanical
medicines, homeopathic remedies, acupuncture and conventional medicine.
By incorporating conservation principles, he also alerts us to the need
of keeping our waterways clean — both for our health and the health
of the cows. This book should serve as a useful reference for years to
come. Hardcover, 412 pages, Item # 6672. Order

 How
to Grow World Record Tomatoes
by Charles Wilber
For most of his 80+ years, Charles Wilber has been learning how
to work with nature. In How to Grow World Record Tomatoes he tells his
personal story and offers his philosophy and approach to gardening. He

of every variety. There's no magic involved. Just a well thought out system
that gives plants more than they could ever want, and makes it possible
for them to reach their full potential. Wilber's compost is the cornerstone
along with a wide circumference around plants layered with compost, alfalfa
meal and mulch. Valuable pruning and watering details are given, too,
as well as a new way of looking at seeds. As you will learn, growing awesome
tomatoes integrates every aspect of gardening that you can imagine. Softcover,

 Weeds,
Control Without Poisons
by Charles Walters
“Low biological activity is inherent in each weed problem ... Each
weed is keyed to a specific environment slotted for its proliferation.”
So says Weeds — Control Without Poisons author Charles Walters. Further,
calcium, magnesium, potassium and other elements in equilibrium are likely
to roll back more weeds than all the available herbicides on the market.
Specifics on a hundred weeds, why they grow, what soil conditions spur
them on or stop them, what they say about your soil, and how to control
them without the obscene presence of poisons. All cross-referenced by
scientific and various common names, and a pictorial glossary. Softcover,
352 pages, Item # 4005. Order

 The
Anatomy of Life and Energy in Agriculture
by Arden Andersen, Ph.D., D.O.
The energies in fertilizers and in the cosmos do not often move needles,
but they preside over crop production. As this manual makes clear, through
learning to tap and use “life-force energy” it is possible to
develop food production practices that are both high quality and nondestructive.
Since high sugar and mineral levels confer immunity to bacterial, insect
and fungal attack, a complete Brix chart on crops is included. Andersen’s
chapters outline in detail the difference between deadly slow-kill agribusiness
farming and farming as it should be. Softcover, 114 pages, Item #3063.
