To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is more profitable for the owner of a worn-out farm, to abandon it and take up new land from the government, the price of which he can pay by the first crop of wheat he grows, than to remain where he is. He must do this or improve his old farm, and how can he improve it without manure? No Norfolk rotation is possible for him. He cannot sell butter or milk or cheese or vegetables. He cannot send these to New York or to England. He cannot feed cattle, for his exhausted soil cannot com- pete wi...th the prairie. A slow and expensive process is necessary before cattle would pay as well as even his diminished grain crops, and "while the grass grows the steed starves." And he too, must starve, if he remains on his farm. He therefore leaves it and the associations of home, and the friends of youth, for the great West, there to exhaust more land. This process explains the rapid forma- tion of new States, and what is called the wonderful prosperity of the West, that is to say, the rapid rise of rich towns and rich rail- road companies, founded on the toils and privations of the farmers, who are called the adventurous and hardy pioneers of civilization.
