What reading level is Grain And Chaff From An English Manor book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
On all arable farms there is a certain amount of food, hay, straw, chaff, roots, etc. , which must be consumed on the premises for the sake of keeping up the fertility of the land, but I believe that only under very exceptional circumstances can a shilling's-worth of food and attendance be con- verted into a shilling's-worth of meat, so that if in the future the price of corn is to fall back into anything approaching pre-war values, the corn crops, as well as the intermediate green crops, which... are only a means for producing corn, must be discontinued, and the land 158 AN ENGLISH MANOR will again become inferior pasture. Old-fashioned farmers recognized the absence of direct profit in the winter of fattening cattle especially on the produce of arable land, and the saying is well known that, " the man who fattens many bullocks never wants much paper on which to make his will. " There are few pleasanter sights about farm premises than to see, as the short winter day is drawing to an end, and the twilight is stealing around the ricks and buildings, a nicely sheltered yard full of contented cattle deeply bedded down in clean bright wheat straw, and settling themselves comfortably for the night; and, when one pulls the bed-clothes up to one's ears, one can go to sleep thinking happily that they too are enjoying a refreshing sleep.
