Looks like a great reference site, makes one want a fast internet connection.

This one bears some looking into. Some of my better poultry books from near to the beginning of the twentieth century originated from Cornell. A lot of what was once common knowledge then threatens to become lost which is too bad because much of it can be very valuable to us homesteaders and small farmers.Of course, a lot of what was common knowledge then was simply bad too. Knowing what to keep and what to discard is the real trick.
