Synopsis

Excerpt from How to Live, in the Country

In writing a foreword to this book, I am spokes man for a multitude of readers, who join me in deep gratitude to the author for the practical wisdom and the joyful spirit he has put into his writings. He speaks from his own experience, and he knows birds as well as Burroughs, fruit as well as Burbank, in tensive farming better than Kropotkin, and more than any other writer does he know the Whole round of farm life and country attractions.

In exploiting the positive delights of country life Mr. Powell has no rival. He takes them all in; the beauty, the poetry, the health, independence, and daily interests. There are pitfalls in farm life, not the least of which are the exaggerated hopes, in spired by special crops, machinery, pedigreed ani mals, climate, and market; he leads us into none of these. He advocates the farm as a home, not for exploiting hobbies, but where one may live a full life, round and rich.

I go back to my boyhood when we had' another kind of farming, with more acres and ruder ways. We raised our living, and had something to sell. There was school in winter and work all the time.
