My Farm of Edgewood: a Country Book Donald Grant Mitchell

Are you not tired, then, of that fancy of Farming? Is it not an expensive amusement; is it not a stupefying bufiness? Do you find your brain taking breadth or color out of Carrot-raifing, or Pumpkins? Poultry is a pretty thing, between Tumblers, and Muscovy ducks; but can you not buy cheaper than you raise, without the fret of foxes and vermin, in any city market? Shall I sell out and join you? Shall I teach this boy of mine (you know his physique and that gray eye of nis, looking after some eidolon) to love the country - so far as to plant himself there, and grow into the trade of farming? A victory over the forces of nature, and of the seafons, compelling them to abundance, is no doubt large; but is not a victory over the forces of mind, About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.
