What reading level is A Country Reader book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


This may seem strange reading to you. What, you may say, a pig's fat preserves its life — how can that be ? I should have thought the very reverse is the case, — that a pig's fat w^ould endanger its life.
But just try to picture a wild pig's life.
By grubbing for roots with his powerful snout, he, probably, during the spring and early sum- mer, got a spare living. By very hard w^ork lie could get just suflicient food to keep himself warm, keep up his strength, and keep himself alive ; just suff
...icient food, in fact, to take off the 210 A COUNTRY READER edge of his hunger. He^, probably, during the spring and early summer, never could obtain sufficient food to give him a good square meal that would satisfy his appetite. Therefore he had no chance of putting on fat.
But the late summer and autumn come round, and then the pig's harvest is at hand. The beech masts or beechnuts, the acorns, — so fat- tening to pigs, — and all manner of nuts and tree fruits fall in abundance, and then all around is an ample supply of food.
