The Farmer’s Companion; or, essays on the Principles and Practice of 
American Husbandry.

By Jesse Buel.  Published in Boston by Marsh, Capen, Lyon, and Webb in 
1840. 2nd edition.

“With the address prepared to be delivered before the agricultural and 
horticultural societies of New Haven County, Connecticut, and an 
appendix containing tables and other matter useful to the farmer”. First 
published in 1839. Jesse Buel [1778-1839] gave up a very successful 
printing business in 1821 to buy an 85-acre farm near Albany, New York, 
where he developed and practiced the new-fangled “reformed” farming 
methods, emphasizing stewardship of the land and agriculture as a road 
to better “moral health and character”. Buel was also an author, a 
member of the New York State Assembly, a member of the Board of Regents 
of the University of the State of New York, championed the founding of a 
New York state agricultural school, was a founder of the New York State 
Agricultural Society, and published The Cultivator, an important 
agricultural journal.
