The Farmer's Own Book of Intellectual and Moral Improvement (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Farmer's Own Book of Intellectual and Moral Improvement

The writer of the following pages, as some of his readers might, perhaps, discover without this confession, is not a farmer. But he is no stran ger to the duties and labors of practical husband ry. He is the son of a farmer, and the early years of his life were spent in the healthful and honorable employment of tilling the ground. The labors of the plough and the hoe, of planting and of gathering the harvest, have not faded from his memory. And one of the pleasures which he eu ticipates in composing the following pages, is the reviving in his mind of scenes and duties of by gone days. He hopes, also, that his remarks will not be altogether unprofitable or uninteresting to the class for which they are designed. With this class his first associations were formed - among them, are many of his-friends and relatives - and to them he is bound both by affection and principle.
