What reading level is How the Farm Pays : the Experiences of Forty Years of Successful Farming And Gardening book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I have been told, on the other hand, that this extra labor is by no means so great as some think it to be, especially when a well arranged system is practiced. For instance, take a farm where thirty cows are kept. Each feed amounts to forty pounds for each cow — that is, 1,200 pounds in all — which is a moderate load for one horse. A smart boy or a man takes a team and wagon to the field. A mowing machine is kept there. This I would say should be covered with a waterproof sheet when not in use.... The horses are put to the mower and the fodder is cut. One, two or even three feeds ahead may be cut, to provide against rainy days. The load cut on the previous evening is loaded, and hauled to the barn.
This is the work of an hour or perhaps more, but certainly not two.
The wagon is drawn into the feeding passage and the load thrown off, or it may be put directly into the feeding racks, but it is preferable to have one or two feeds ahead in the barn. In this way half the time of a man might be taken up daily in getting the feed for thirty cows.
