Book Description
Excerpt from Opportunities in Farming There is no home like the farm home. And with the incomparable charm of rural home life comes the infinite pleasure of creative effort and the exhilaration of con tending with nature and winning bread from the bare ground. There are a constancy and a stability about it all. There is something to build on, something to look forward to in the years to come. Then, again, there is a feeling of independence that only a chosen few in the city enjoy, and a freedom from those uncertainties and cares that are a part and parcel of the industrial wage earner's existence.

Excerpt from Our Farming: Or How We Have Made a Run-Down Farm Bring Both Profit and Pleasure At the second reading I say to myself, Now everything in this article is strictly true, but is there anything that will be mislead ing? Is part of the truth unconsciously withheld, or will anyone be likely to draw a wrong conclusion? Is every point so simple and plain that there will be no excuse for the ordinary reader if he does not fully understand At this reading a pencil goes through any long or unusual words if there is a simpler one that will do as well. By this time the manuscript is often so much corrected that I rewrite it all, or perhaps some pages. For years I rewrote every article that went from my desk. Now do you think I am done? No. After all this the article goes to my wife, if I am at home, and she reads it and tells me if there is any point that is not perfectly plain to her, or anything she thinks had better be left out. To her excellent judgment I owe much. Every chapter of this book will go through this entire process, and we hope will be so revised that only good and no harm may be done.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Farm of the Dagger There is a road, of almost Roman straightness, that cuts the central wastes of Dartmoor and connects the town of Tavistock with the village of Moretonhampstead, twenty miles distant. About midway this track leaps down over the broad brow of Merripit Hill, plunges into the hamlet of Post-bridge, and crosses the eastern arm of Dart. A few yards below this passage there shall still be seen, spanning the river, an ancient and famous bridge of the sort known as "cyclopean." It is dry-built with enormous masses of granite, and may be considered of a handsome but not remote antiquity. In the eighteenth century, and perhaps earlier, our forefathers pack-horses passed that way. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life on the Farm, or Scientific Agriculture Simplified: A Reading Book, for Grammar and High Schools Life on the farm now is not what it used to be. The general development of the age accounts for this. Each year adds something new to the agricultural field, and not infrequently are these new things so complex in their nature that the broadest scientific knowledge is required for their interpretation and use. There is probably no other industry in which so many branches of science enter as farming; nearly the whole list can be used in some way or other. This volume is designed, primarily, as a reader, or text-book, in rural schools of agricultural regions; but we think it could be used with profit in both village and city schools. Pupils can learn to read by reading about real things which are in close touch with their daily lives, and which they wish to remember, as well by reading about remote, fictitious things which they can not and do not care to remember. First-hand knowledge should be learned before any other. The things to be studied on a farm are full of interest, beauty, and utility.

Book Description
Excerpt from Old Days on the Farm A Son of the soil, born in a log cabin and bred on a bush farm, should have pleasurable recollections boyhood days. Gazing into the misty mirror of the past, I have endeavoured, in these sketches, in some measure to pay the debt of gratitude I owe the Goddess of Fortune for starting me off on life's journey amid such surroundings. I hold to the belief that one born and raised in the country - it may be in a log cabin and on a bush farm - has a distinct advantage over those unfortunates who, from infancy, have been doomed to artificial ways - city pavements - and so missed the delights of woodland places, hawthorn lanes and the innumerable joys that pertain to rural life. Canada still has vast stretches of forest and plain invitingly awaiting the coming of the homemakers. And those dear, if homely and natural, pleasures that I have essayed to recall in these "Old Days on the Farm" chapters, are still, in a degree, to be found and enjoyed by those who may adventure in the field of pioneer agriculture.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Farmer of Inglewood Forest Under an aged oak, that grew on a pleasant hut lonely part of Inglewood Forest, one fine summer's evening, sat the venerable farmer Godwin, reading to his family, with a dignity, that might have graced a more distinguished rank; but it was a subject that ever raised his heart to the Most High, and made him feel that, however humble the state of probation, a life spent in innocence and integrity would one day entitle him to a place where virtue alone claims pre-eminence. On his knee lay the Bible; on his right hand sat his wife, who, though grey hairs shaded her temples, the beam of youthful affection was not extinguished in her eye; on his left sat his sons, William and Edwin; and at her mother's feet was placed their sister Emma, trimming a straw hat with pink ribbons for the ensuing fair. The lecture concluded, they adjourned to their humble mansion, which, though appertaining to some rich and highly-cultivated land, was nothing more than a spacious, convenient farmhouse; yet to those to whom cleanliness and comfort constitute luxury, this dwelling possessed every attribute. The frugal meal was soon prepared, and seasoned with innocent mirth, and the happy cheerfulness of hearts unconscious of guile might have outbalanced in pleasure far more sumptuous entertainments; for labour had given health, and health appetite; and for the corroding passions of envy, jealousy, pride, or malice, that so frequently embitter the feasts of the great, their hearts were too humble to entertain such overbearing intruders. The suppers removed, and the farmer's pipe, with a pitcher of ale, being placed on the table - "I wonder," said William, with a half-sigh, "whether Fanny Bernard is yet returned home?" - "Suppose we step down the lane and inquire?" replied Edwin; "it is a fine night, and Emma can go with us; we shall be back before my father has smoked his pipe." This motion was immediately adopted, as farmer Bernard's was only a quarter of a mile down a green lane, that was separated from a forest by a high-road crossing its entrance. It would hardly be possible to paint three more interesting figures than the brothers and sister tripping by a clear moonlight over the green. William had just attained his twenty-second year, his face and person forming a model from which a statuary might have envied to copy an Apollo, yet with a cast of reflection over his animated features, which to a common observer made them less striking than those of his brother Edwin, who was a year younger, and whose person, though less elegantly formed, was yet more fascinating, from the continual sprightliness that enlivened his features; Emma, innocent as the dove, playful as the Iamb, and fair as Milton's Eve, holding of each a hand, and chatting a hundred little minutias, to themselves only interesting. On reaching Bernard's farm, they entered without ceremony, the lifting of the latch alone announcing visiters. "Welcome, my lads," said the old man; "what, and my little girl too! are you there? Hark ye, Agnes," addressing his daughter, "replenish the pitcher, and look what hast got in the cupboard," - "We have supped," replied William; and looking anxiously round the room, "Fanny, I see, is not yet returned." - "No; Agnes and I have been wishing for her - she will be back in a day or two, I suppose; but, pies on't!
