To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And now for a second year's experiment on the same acre of land. If it be heavy clay land, plough it up in the fall, if not, in the spring, and let the plough run a little deeper than the year before, so that it will bring the old manure to the surface. In the spring harrow the ground once over, and spread all the manure, made from the corn crop, evenly over the surface — sow it with oats and plough them lightly in, and lay down well with plenty of hay seed, finished oif by rolling, which will ...press all the old corn stubbs and small stones in the ground and out of the way of the scythe. Rolling also helps to make the hay seed take. When the oats are fit for the scythe, cut them and put them up, and feed them in the straw to cattle or sheep, shut up so that the manure may be kept apart 12 from all other, with sufficient sand or earth beneath it to save liquids, which is far the most valuable part. In the spring spread the manure made from the oat crop evenly over the sur- fice of the same land again — always remembering that the finer manure is pulverized, the more nourishment it will afford to the growino- crop, just as less weight of meal will fatten a hog than of uno-round corn.
