Download or read book Nell Beverly Farmer written by Elizabeth Jewett Brown and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nell Beverly, Farmer: A Story of Farm Life Each year The Rural New-Yorker aims to give its readers some little gift that will prove both useful and enduring. In this way we have sent out thousands of climbing rose bushes. They were, of necessity small when they left us, yet planted and nursed by loving hands, many of them have spread over country homes where they now cling, strong and beautiful, a constant reminder of good will. In the same way we have given books, such as "The Business Hen," "The Farmer's Garden" and "The Rural Cook Book." We try to make these books, like the vines and shrubs, useful and enduring, so that they will be kept for constant reference and use. Now we come with a book of a different character, in the hope that it, like our other gifts, will bring a message that will prove permanently useful. This year we wanted to give our readers a story, not one that would simply afford amusement, but one that would take up boldly and plainly some hard problem of farm life, which the plain people of the country have been forced to work out. The quickest and easiest way to obtain a story is to go to some professional writer with a plot and engage him to fill it in. This is what we at first expected to do. The objection to this plan is the fact that while such a writer would, no doubt, prepare a more polished literary production, his characters would be imaginary. Not having lived them such a man could not feel in his heart and soul the scenes which he attempted to portray. I have always believed that there are among the readers of The Rural New-Yorker men and women who have lived strong and self-sacrifking lives, who therefore know what it means to struggle with real farm problems, and who are also capable of giving their message to the world. We have found that just such flesh-and-blood experience put in forcible and homely language is what our people appreciate in other things, and we believe it is what they want in a farm story. With this idea in mind, we offered a prize for the best story of farm life. Some 60 persons competed and after a careful and painstaking review this story, "Nell Beverly, Farmer," was selected as nearest our needs. I will not anticipate the reading, yet I want to say a few words about this story. The captious critic may say that it is crude in places, and not highly polished. He might also, with truth, say the same of the daily lives and conversation of thousands of plain people who work our farms and maintain our farm homes. What I like about this book is that it is a true flesh-and-blood picture of plain farm people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Country Life Readers written by Cora Wilson Stewart and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Life Readers: First Book There is an increasing demand for the education of adult illiterates who have somehow missed their opportunity in early life, and also for the better education of adults that have a very limited degree of learning. The city has provided for this need to some extent with evening Schools, designed mainly for foreigners. All the textbooks for evening schools have, therefore, been pre pared strictly for immigrants and city dwellers. Rural America is coming to realize that there exists a need for education among adults in the rural sections as much as among those in the cities. For this reason moonlight schools, rural evening schools, which begin their sessions on moonlight evenings, have been established and have now been extended to fifteen States. The people attending these schools demand textbooks which deal with the problems of rural life and which reflect rural life, and to meet this demand this book has been prepared. The author has utilized the opportunity when the rural dweller is learning to read to stimulate a livelier and more intelligent interest in such subjects as agriculture, horticulture, good roads, home economics, health and sanitation, and those subjects, which, if taught to him, will make for a richer and happier life on the farm. For illustrations and suggestions the author and publishers desire to express their thanks to the International Harvester Company, The Country Gentleman, The United States Forest Service, Mr. J. E. Barton, State Forester of Kentucky, Mr. Roy French, Prof. G. D. Smith, and Mrs. Cornelia Steketee Hulst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hope Farm Notes Mom of these notes were originally printed in the Rural N ew-y orh'er from week to week and covering a period of about 20 years. Many readers of that maga zine have expressed the desire to have a collection of them in permanent form. It has been no easy task to make a selection and I wish to acknowledge here the great help which I have received from my daughter, Ava F. Collingwood, in arranging this matter. It has been thought best to arrange the notes in chronological order. A Hepe Farm Sermon, and Grandmother were originally printed in 1902. The others follow in the order of their original publication. The reader must understand that the children alluded to represent two distinct broods, - the second brood appearing just after the sketch entitled Transplanting the Young Idea. From the very first the object of these notes has been to picture simply and truthfully the brighter, cheerful side of Farm Life.

Download or read book The Farm and the Fireside Or the Romance of Agriculture written by John L. Blake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-04 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Farm and the Fireside, or the Romance of Agriculture: Being Half Hour Sketches of Life in the Country Why did the gold of California remain Untouched towards six thousand years, unless it is admitted that King Solomon knew of it, as the gold of Ophir, when building his memorable temple? It is simply because all the world, the Yankees as Well as others, did not know -it was there. Supposing some visionary scholar had written a book, stating that probably in that region this precious metal existed in profusion. Would such a book have put the whole creation agog in search of it? But, as soon as a few straggling soldiers and sailors from the Mexican War discovered and gathered up by handfuls the shining dust and the solid masses, then there was from every part of the earth, not excepting the Empire of the Sun, an incessant scram ble to share in it. This is all consistent, because the subject now became a matter of fact. Instead of theories and moonshine dreams, here was exhibited to the human senses - vision and feeling - the very thing inlall ages and in all 'countries so much desired. Ordi narily, sensible men must know a thing exists and can be had, before they embark in a stampede for its attainment, leaving every thing else in neglect.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Daily Life of Our Farm A few yards separated from the shore, in a picturesque reach of the resplendent winding Wye, rests a huge boulder, which ages ago must have broken away from a ridge upon the hill-side above, upon which now there are several such gigantic brethren of a sufficiently threatening aspect, and which may be precipitated any day into mid-channel, therein to cool their vast sides after a prickly roll through thickset gorse. Below this block, in summer time, the divided stream reunites to ripple in a rapid run, within which lurks many a noble fish, both trout and salmon. Upon it, a few stunted shrubs and heather grow; Frondesque lymphis obstrepunt manantibus; Somnos quod invitet leves. Often has it formed a foreground for the wandering artist's sketch: and oftener an afternoon couch for ourselves, whereupon were strung together such reflections as occurred to us upon the events of the day. From this diary the following pages present an extract. From this huge stone our homestead itself would appear to have borrowed its name, being mentioned in Domesday Book as "Mainavre" (obviously a corruption of the Welsh, "Y Maen yn yr avon," or "the Rock in the River"), and was held from the king in consideration of ten shillings and a sextary jar of honey annually.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farming for Boys The mass of farmers' boys understand that they must carve out their own fortunes. If their parents would afford them some little Opportunity to begin early, - an equal one with the sharp newsboy of the city, - they too would become so shrewd, so self-reliant, so expert at acquisition, even on the farm, that, educated to moderation, they would be too well sat isfied with small gains to be overcome by the seductions of city life. If it be mere money which makes the latter attrae tive, a certainty of being able to acquire it at home would seem to be potent enough to surround with greater attractions the spot on which the farmer's boy may have been born.
