To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As soon as the colds of autumn begin to diminish the abun- dance or the goodness of the pastures, a little fodder is at first given to the sheep in the house, and the quantity gradually in- creased as the winter approches, because they find abroad less and less to live upon. When no more pasture is to be found, they must for some time depend entirely upon their fodder, and their allowance is diminished by degrees until the spring produces grass. Many kinds of food are suitable for sheep; and ma...y be divid- ed into roots, stalks, leaves and grains. The roots are potatoes, Jerusalem-artichokes, carrots, par- snips, turnips, among which the Swedish turnip has the property of resisting the frost. All these roots are cultivated with little expence in ploughed grounds. I make no mention of the salsifis,* nor of the skirret, nor even of the beet, although sheep eat them very freely, and they are not despicable vegetables ; but they require too much labour to be cultivated on an ex- tensive scale, and they are not very nutritious.
