From the Introduction. I have been eight years a farmer...I am conscious that I can offer few of the practical hints which are distributed like coins at the meetings of the grange, nor have I the genius to write a poem, nor the orthodoxy to preach a sermon. I can offer merely the more or less fragmentary writing of a man�������s life as it has been lived with satisfaction for eight years.
