 There was a book that I have been looking for again on surviving on 5 acres

out back in the 60-70s , during the height of the back to earth movement. 
But that has little bearing here. As most of the methods used modern farming

methods. Such things as which types of birds, and animals were best to raise

for food . Whether it was better to buy young ones in the spring and butcher

them in the fall or not. Sections on Fruit trees and gardens that are most 
useful.  Would help if I could remember the authors name
