What reading level is The Young Farmers' Manual: book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If the wall is to be made six or eight feet wide on the bottom, no stone should be dropped nearer than six feet, especially if they are mostly large ones. It is a great fault with most farmers who build stone fence, to get their stones too close to the wall. It is but the work of a few moments to tumble a large stone six or eight feet ; and it is far better to have a stone THE YOUNG FARMER'S MANUAL. 149 one foot too far away than to have it a foot too close, to obstruct the progress of workmen....
189. When a stone wall is to be erected directly on the surface of the soil, the stones may all be dropped in a long pile where the fence is to be built, and then the workmen can commence at one end and carry the stones back and lay them up ; and if they should not be abundant enough without carrying them too far in some places, they can be hauled along the side of the wall where they are needed. But we do not advocate the practice of erect- ing a stone wall on the surface of the ground, because it will not settle alike, unless the soil is of a uniform quality ; and as the frosts of winter will raise it whenever it freezes beneath the foun- dation stones, it is very liable to freeze in freezing weather on the windward side first ; and perhaps it will not freeze on the leeward side at all under the foundation stones.
