To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The same remarks, which apply in this case to the cultivation of the land, apply in like manner to the raising and keeping of live stock and every other department of husbandry. The improvement of this art depends upon inquiry and knowledge, exactly as the improvement of any other art or science. It has been thought that practice was the only means, and all that was necessary, to constitute a man a farmer ; and scientific inquiry has been spoken of with derision. This ignorance and these prejud...ices are fast passing away. There are secrets in nature, which in the present condition of our faculties we may not expect to penetrate ; but in the progress of knowledge it has already happened, as we all know, that many operations of nature, which were deemed a few years since insoluble mysteries, are now made so familiar that we can only admire our own previous dullness of comprehension. More than this, too, in this case the Gordian knot has not been cut, but deliberately untied. Inquisitive minds should never be satisfied with present attainments, nor think they have gone far enough, when there is a possibility of going further.
